Chuck Smith, who goes by the stage name Stray Deuce, is one of those artists. He's been in the music industry for decades and has played with some of the best musicians in the business.

"One of Motown's biggest artists, Diana Ross, recorded a song Smith had co-written with Donald Dunn as the title track to her 1977 album 'Baby It's Me.' Smith played guitar on the track, which also featured some legendary players, including David Foster, Ray Parker, Jr., Jeff Porcaro and Lee Ritenour. "In this interview, we talk about Smith's career and influences." - Robert Neil Robert Neil recommends the following Stray Deuce songs: "Billie Sings" "Bluebell Marie" "Him" "The Real Skunk Funk"
