Dan Navarro Live on Game Changers With Vicki Abelson 

They say you can never go home- they didn’t have their old pal Dan Navarro on their show––took me right back to shared memories with Chloris Leachman in the living room, the Mets winning a 2015 playoff game at Dodger Stadium (unlike today), seeing Lori Lieberman at The Grammy Museum, Mike Finnegan at The Levitt Pavilion, NAMM hangs, my book launch, a 12 Step meeting, good food, a few of these here shows before and during the pandemic…  It’s always warm and comfy as if no time has passed. 

We touched on Dan’s early days, his creative parents, his famous cousin, Dave, a horrific family tragedy,  starting out on horns, finding his voice, literally, writing songs, being a singing waiter at The Great American Food & Beverage Company, with a host of others who found success, including  Eric Lowen, who would become his partner, and begin their relationship co-writing the iconic, We Belong, and selling it to Pat Benetar, before it came to have a life of its own, putting out 12 albums, touring for decades, also writing for the Bangles and others, before Lowen’s untimely death. Dan, through it all, also voiced TV shows, including The Family Guy and American Dad, still to this day, as well as over 100 commercials, sang in the films Happy Feet, two Ice Age pictures, Rio, The Lorax, to name just some. The secret to his success? Go for it. Persistence. The only answer is “Yes.” It’s worked pretty well for him. Dan told innumerable stories to exemplify his point. 

A man of service, Dan has served as SAG-AFTRA’s National Vice President of Recording Artists/Singers, and is still on the board, he is a Trustee of the AFM & SAG-AFTRA Intellectual Property Rights Distribution Fund, is a member of the Mechanical Licensing Collective’s Unclaimed Royalties Oversight Committee, and is on the board of the Artists rights alliance, and recently spoke before the House Judiciary Committee on AI, where, in solution, he has been quoted requesting, the 3 Cs: Consent, Credit, Compensation. 

Dan treated us to a passionate We Belong, and a gorgeous Rose In the WIndow, his collaboration with the late Preston Sturges from his latest album, Horizon Line. 

This time with Dan was heartwarming and soul-filling and will stay with me for a long time to come. Being in Dan’s good company is always inspiring, always fun, even if we are in the midst of our Mets/Dodgers rivalry. Go Mets!

Replay here:

Today, Live! Dan Navarro’s written, recorded, toured nationally, sung, and acted his way through a rich and varied career, including writing Pat Benatar’s monster hit, We Belong. Dan’s also written for The Bangles, Dave Edmunds,  Dionne Warwick, The Temptations, and many more. He released twelve albums with Lowen & Navarro; has sung in films such as Happy Feet, two Ice Age pictures, Rio, The Lorax, many TV shows, and hundreds of commercials; was an actor in the animated feature The Book of Life, a regular on Family Guy and American Dad, and in the hit video game Fallout 4. Solo since Eric Lowen’s retirement in 2009 and subsequent passing in 2012, Dan tours constantly… the man is busy! During the Covid lockdown, Dan launched his Songs From the CoronaZone live stream series, running almost daily for much of the run of over 250 2-hour+ live streams in 13 months. Dan’s first studio solo album, Shed My Skin, was produced by The Immediate Family’s, Steve Postell, his most recent, Horizon Line, was produced by Grammy-winning producer, Jim Scott, and there was also All Wood and Led with James Lee Stanley. 

An activist, Dan served as SAG-AFTRA’s National Vice President of Recording Artists/Singers, and is still on the board, is a Trustee of the AFM & SAG-AFTRA Intellectual Property Rights Distribution Fund, is a member of the Mechanical Licensing Collective’s Unclaimed Royalties Oversight Committee, and is on the board of the Artists rights alliance. I’m exhausted just writing that. 

A fabulous friend it’s been too long since we’ve caught up. So looking forward! Even if we’re in the midst of our Mets/Dodgers rivalry. Go Mets!
