<P> David Palmer is an American vocalist and songwriter, best known as a former member of Steely Dan and as the lyricist of the Carole King number two hit, "Jazzman". </P> <P> Palmer grew up in the New Jersey communities of Warren Township and Watchung and attended Watchung Hills Regional High School . His first band was the Myddle Class, formed in 1964 under the initial name The King Bees while members were still in high school . As the Myddle Class, the band performed at such clubs as the Night Owl in Greenwich Village, and released several 45s on the Tomorrow Records imprint before disbanding in 1969 . Palmer next formed the Quinaimes Band with several Myddle Class members, which recorded an album for Elektra Records before disbanding shortly thereafter . </P> <P> At the insistence of ABC Records executives, Palmer joined Steely Dan in an early incarnation in 1972 . He sang lead on two tracks on their debut album, Can't Buy A Thrill--"Dirty Work" and "Brooklyn (Owes the Charmer Under Me)"--as well as doubling parts of Donald Fagen's vocals on "Reelin' in the Years", "Only a Fool Would Say That", and "Change of the Guard" to reach the high notes . He also sang lead on most of Steely Dan's songs when performed live in their early concerts as a result of Fagen's lack of live vocal power at this point . Fagen eventually took over as lead vocalist and Palmer left the band, although he did contribute backing vocals on the band's subsequent release, Countdown to Ecstasy . </P> <P> After his exit from Steely Dan, Palmer worked with a number of songwriters, including Carole King in the composition of "Jazzman". He later formed the band Wha - Koo with Danny Douma . Wha - Koo released three albums, The Big Wha - Koo in 1977, Berkshire in 1978 and Fragile Line in 1979 . He also contributed the song "Silhouette" to the 1985 film Teen Wolf . </P>
