Who is Marshall Crenshaw?

Marshall Howard Crenshaw is an American singer, songwriter and guitarist best known for his song "Someday, Someway", a classic Top 40 hit in 1982.

Crenshaw's music has roots in classic soul music, British Invasion songcraft, Burt Bacharach and Buddy Holly -- the latter to whom Crenshaw was often compared in the early days of his career, and whom he portrayed in the 1987 film La Bamba. Crenshaw is also a noted guitarist who uses offbeat chord progressions and concise solos.
