Background and career
Chuck Loeb was born Dec. 7 1955 in Nyack, New York, in the New York City region, where he was first introduced to music. He originally came from a musical background of pop and rock rather than jazz, listening to 1960s rock acts such as Jimi Hendrix, Eric Clapton, Cream, Led Zeppelin, The Beatles, The Rolling Stones and Bob Dylan. According to a 2005 JazzTimes article, the first song he learned on the guitar was Bob Dylan's Like a Rolling Stone which he would later play at a guest appearance with Dylan himself. It was until he was 16 years old that he discovered jazz and learning about artists such as Wes Montgomery, George Benson, John McLaughlin and Pat Martino. It was then that Loeb chose to become musician and "never thought of doing anything else".

Don't Let Me Be Lonely Tonight
by: Chuck LoebDo me wrong, do me right
Tell me lies, but hold me tight
Save your good-byes for the morning light
But don't let me be lonely tonight
Say good-bye and say hello
Sure 'nough good to see you
But it's time to go
Don't say yes, but please
Don't say no
I don't want to be lonely tonight
Go away then, damn you
Go on and do as you please
You ain't gonna see me getting down on my knees
I'm undecided and your heart's been divided
You've been turning my world upside down
Do me wrong, do me right
Go on and tell me lies, but hold me tight
Save your good-byes for the morning light
