Members Stackabones Posted February 15, 2010 Members Share Posted February 15, 2010 Just 57. RIP. Fieger formed The Knack in Los Angeles 1978, and the group quickly became a staple of Sunset Strip rock clubs. A year later he co-wrote and sang lead vocals on "My Sharona." Fieger said the song, with its pounding drums and exuberant vocals, was inspired by a girlfriend of four years.

Members Chicken Monkey Posted February 15, 2010 Members Share Posted February 15, 2010 Okay, maybe that was in poor taste, if only tangentially connected to the deceased in question. Back on topic: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moderators Lee Knight Posted February 15, 2010 Moderators Share Posted February 15, 2010 I met Sharrona in 1980. She was hot. I was opening for LA New Wave Pop band 20/20 and hanging out with them after. I walked up to a little hot thing and introduced myself. She said her name was Sharrona. I oh so cleverly said, "Hey... like the song!" She said, "That's me. Doug's my ex." She was interested in the singer for 20/20. Not me. Shame. I really liked all of that first album. The band was very good. Fieger had a smirky, in your face persona in the press. Not a bad boy but more a naughty boy. RIP Doug Fieger. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Main Offender Posted February 16, 2010 Members Share Posted February 16, 2010 One of my favorite songwriters, with an overlooked catalog of great pop/rock songs because of one (still deservedly) huge hit....RIP Doug. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
