Great review! I thought this may interest you from the Steely Dan website:
"Since Fagen was uncomfortable as the lead singer, they also decided to sign up vocalist David Palmer as the front man. Since Palmer's vocal style didn't convey the attitude that Becker and Fagen wanted for most of the songs, and they also needed to finish the album, Donald reluctantly sang lead vocals on all but three songs on their debut album, which they named "Can't Buy A Thrill.""
Luckily Donald Fagen found the confidence in his singing voice and David Palmer left the group.
