Walter Becker

remarkable producer..and an elegant guitar player..

Eversince I was 2 years old I've been listening to Steely Dan and those guitar riffs of Walter Becker. This really hurts big time for me. Besides my father's death the passing of Walter left a void in my heart that may never be replaced. I will definitely miss him without a doubt. Rest well WCB.

May there be a new generation of rock and roll fans who will keep the memory as well as admiration of Steely Dan's music alive while reeling in the years and stowing away the time!

A musical giant...One half of the greatest songwriting team in Rock and Roll history.
They wrote the music of my life. Rest in peace Walter...I wonder if you'll run into that "Junky Girl" you wrote about?

My heart is broken. I so love him and his music. I wish I could have known Walter personally, but, his music alone is a gift. I am so sorry for Walter's family, loved ones and the world. Thank you, Delia, for your lovely words and the explanation of his struggle. So glad it was a peaceful transition and he was surrounded by those that mattered the most. Peace and love to all.

To the family & friends of Walter: Obviously, he is missed and has been a huge influence on so many artists. I wish you peace and blessings. Thank you for sharing him with the world.

Walter Becker was the BEST.
I listen to your music since I was 10
Now I am 57 and I am in love with it.
Thank you Walter !

Thank you Walter for the wonderful music the story of my life is in those songs you produced with Donald. They help me through life in general and are great as my go to place, my rock.You are sorely missed, my condolences to your family and the rest of the band.

Didn't fully appreciate and have an admiration for the music of Steely Dan until the year of 1993. As a pre-teen, I'd hear "Reeling in the Years", but had a preference for R and B music. I was assigned to a promotions company through a temporary service in Miami, Florida in 1993. My genre of music is Christian Contemporary/Gospel. However, as my favorite melodic instruments are piano, keyboard, saxophone, trumpet, and bass guitar I was fascinated with the time changes and jazz undertones...
