Question
Who is Steven Emspack who is credited of co-writing the song "Somebody" with Steven Tyler on the Aerosmith debut album ?

Answer
Chrys,

Sorry my response is a bit delayed but it took me a while to find the answer. I managed to find the answer in Aerosmith's autobiography.

Steve Emsback was Aerosmith's first roadie. He was also a member of "William Proud," a band that Steven Tyler was also in before Aerosmith formed. The song "Somebody" grew out of a lick that Emsback used to play during his days in "William Proud."

Thanks for the question.

I can answer most questions about Aerosmith, including things like their albums, shows they`ve done, information about the band members, songs, etc.

Experience

A lot of experience. I've read books and have followed the band for 13 years now, ever since I was little. I thoroughly know their music, music videos, personal information about the members, the band's history, live shows they've done, and their songs. I've also attended two of their live shows.
