Here is the biography of Donnie Dacus:
Donnie Dacus was born on October 12, 1951, in Galena Park, Texas. He is a guitarist and songwriter known for his work with Stephen Stills in the early 1970s and his stint with the jazz-rock group Chicago from 1978 to 1980. Dacus' music career began in his teenage years with a band called The Shux, and he later played with the Yellow Payges and Crosby, Stills, and Nash.
Dacus joined Chicago in 1978 after the death of guitarist Terry Kath, and his debut with the band, "Hot Streets," went top-12 and platinum. However, his tenure with Chicago was marked by controversy and mixed reviews, with some fans and critics feeling that he couldn't replace Kath's unique style and sound.
Dacus was eventually fired from Chicago after the Christmas tour of 1979, and he has remained relatively quiet about his time with the band. He has since worked with other artists, including Badfinger and David Letterman's band, and has made appearances on Broadway. Despite his relatively scarce appearances in recent years, Dacus remains a notable figure in the music industry, known for his work with some of the biggest names in rock music.
