About Gene Dunlap & The Ridgeways
born in Detroit, Michigan, U.S.A. Gene began to play the drums from the age of four although his first job was in a music store. While still at school he met Earl Klugh with whom he formed a group. By the mid-70's Gene was playing drums for Earl professionally, Earl also helping to secure Gene a solo recording deal with Capitol in the early 80's. His three albums were 'It's Just The Way I Feel' (1981), including 'Before You Break My Heart' (ably assisted vocally by the Ridgeway Sisters), 'Party In Me' (1982) and 'Tired Of Being A Nice Guy' (1983) including the excellent 'Take Back My Love'.
