Dean Friedman was born in Hackensack, New Jersey in 1946. He sang in a folk group while attending the University of Pennsylvania, and his debut album 'Well, Well, Said the Rocking Chair' came out in 1977.
That album included 'No One Knows,' which became his most recognizable song. He also wrote '(I Am In Love With The) McDonald's Girl' and 'Ariel,' songs that share his particular blend of wry observation and melodic pop.
Friedman's discography includes albums like 'Listen' from 1978 and 'The Elephant in the Room' from 2000. He continued writing and recording, putting out 'Squirrels' as recently as 2016.
Keep it compact: a lyric you come back to, a live memory, or the part of the catalog you would point someone toward first.
