Paul Dean >
I first encountered Paul Dean in the summer of 1969 in Edmonton, at the Orange County Pop Festival.  We didn't meet on that occasion (I was just a member of the audience), but I remember being blown away by Paul and his band "Fox", which included Brian Newcombe on bass and Billy McBeth on drums. They were awesome.

In 1971 Paul left "Fox" to join "Scrubbaloe Caine", whose line-up included future Prism vocalist Henry Small.  A few years later, in1979, Paul formed his most successful band, "Loverboy", with vocalist Mike Reno.

During the course of their career Loverboy recorded two songs co-written by Bryan Adams and myself:  Jump and Dangerous

Paul and Bryan and I co-wrote "Win Some Lose Some" on Bryan's first album.
