  • Walter Egan is an American rock musician, best known for his 1978 #8 (and gold) hit single "Magnet and Steel" from his album Not Shy, produced by Lindsey Buckingham and Richard Dashut of Fleetwood Mac fame. Buckingham also co-produced Egan's first album Fundamental Roll with Stevie Nicks. "Magnet and Steel," inspired by Nicks, was featured in the 1997 film Boogie Nights. Egan also wrote "Hearts on Fire," which was covered by Gram Parsons on his album Grievous Angel, and "Hot Summer Nights", which was the first hit for the band Night, which included such session musicians as Nicky Hopkins (who played piano with Egan on later albums) and Robbie McIntosh. Egan scored minor hits with his own version of "Hot Summer Nights", as well as "Only the Lucky" and "Fool Moon Fire". Egan later toured as a member of a latter-day version of Spirit, as well as having been a full member of both "The Brooklyn Cowboys" and "The Malibooz" Egan once appeared as a contestant on the popular television game show Jeopardy! During his introduction segment, Egan identified himself as a singer and songwriter. Alex Trebek asked him if we would know any of his songs, at which point he sang the main hook from "Magnet and Steel. " Unfortunately, Egan was not the champion that day. He currently resides in Franklin, TN, where he is a substitute teacher at Centennial High School. Egan continues to write, record and tour into the new millennium. One notable show was in Hollywood, Florida, in August 2009. Billed as a survivor, Egan debuted 2 new songs. Egan is listed as co writer on the new Eminem hit "We Made You". That song's producer, Dr Dre, believed he was inspired by the bassline from (and used samples of) "Hot Summer Nights"
