Big Wha-Koo were a Los Angeles, California-based soft rock ensemble formed in 1975 under the leadership of singer, songwriter and guitarist Danny Douma. Douma assembled an entourage of veteran musicians that included David Palmer, who had sung lead vocals on two tracks of Steely Dan’s debut album Can’t Buy a Thrill, Nick Van Maarth, from Buddy Holly’s backup band, The Crickets, Don Francisco, formerly of Crowfoot and Atlee and British blues man Andy Silvester, formerly of Savoy Brown. L.A.-based session musician Reinie Press, bass player on many of Neil Diamond’s most successful recordings, contributed bass and saxophone on two tracks on the band’s 1977 debut album, The Big Wha-Koo for ABC Records. Lee Ritenour also was featured playing guitar on the songs “Whiskey Voices” and “Amnesty”.
After the release of the first album the band shortened their name to Wha-Koo.
None of the bands 3 albums have been reissued on cd, and at least the 2 first albums most likely never will get a prober reissue as the masters probably was lost in 2009 in the Universal fire.
