While in college, Chevy Chase played drums in a 3-man band called Leather Canary. Seeing no future in it, he quit and went off to become a globally successful comedian and actor.
The remaining members of the band decided to keep going as a duo (with occasional help from back up studio musicians), and changed their name to Steely Dan. The rest is rock music history!
