What is Donnie Dacus' Net Worth?
Donnie Dacus is an American musician, actor, writer, and producer who has a net worth of $1 million. Donnie Dacus was born in Pasadena, Texas, and began playing guitar long before his 13th birthday. Soon after, he was teaching others how to play and formed his own local band, The Chantels. They became The Shux and won Dallas' Battle of the Bands. In 1968, The Yellow Payges spotted Dacus during a Buffalo Springfield and The Beach Boys concert. Since then, Dacus has worked with dozens of artists, contributing to multi-platinum albums.
His associated acts include Billy Joel, Chicago, Bonnie Bramlett, Boz Scaggs, Neil Young, John Lennon, REO Speedwagon, Crosby, Stills, & Nash, Elton John, Mac Davis, Deep Purple, Orleans, and Rick James. He sings back up on Joel's hit song "My Life". Dacus was part of the Chicago album "Hot Streets", which climbed to number 12 on the charts and was certified platinum, though he was released from the group in 1979. A few years later, he joined the band Badfinger in the early '80s. Dacus starred alongside Beverly D'Angelo and Annie Golden in Milos Forman's "Hair", which was nominated for two Golden Globe Awards and premiered at the 1979 Cannes Film Festival.
