Dennis Dunaway

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Dennis Dunaway (born December 9, 1948 in Cottage Grove, Oregon) was the bassist for the Alice Cooper group from 1969-1975. He co-wrote such hits as "Eighteen" and "School's Out".

Dunaway's bass playing displayed varying influences including Latin ("Below Your Means") and Jazzy Blues ("Crazy Little Child", "Blue Turk") along with many other genres. He incorporated all of these musical styles to help create a sound that could support the theatrical performance of the "on-stage" Alice Cooper persona.

In September 2006, The Dennis Dunaway Project released their debut album available exclusively via their website and at shows Bones from the Yard
