Rowe has won the Pacific Coast and Fullerton Vocal Jazz awards for outstanding jazz performance. The Darryl Rowe Trio was featured at the 1992 Monterey Jazz festival.

"How Long" Ace (UK) Producer John Anthony Track 3 on Five-a-Side Mar. 1975 ‘How Long’, the most popular track off of Five-a-side, was first released as a single, peaking at #3 on the Billboard Hot 100 on May 30th, 1975. “How Long” by Ace (UK) was written by Paul Carrack. The track is typically assumed to be about cheating, however, the track was originally written by the group’s lead singer Paul Carrack, after learning Ace’s bassist Terry Comer was working with The Sutherland Brothers, a Scottish soft rock duo of the time. Alternative Song: If you are instead looking for the 1928 jazz standard "How Long Has This Been Going On?" written by ⁠George and Ira Gershwin (performed by artists like ⁠Ella Fitzgerald and ⁠Judy Garland), the opening lyrics are: I could cry salty tears, Where have I been all these years? Little wow, tell me now, how long has this been goin' on? Would you like more information about the meaning behind the lyrics or the history of either track?https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/How_Lon... “How Long Has This Been Going On?” is a song composed by George Gershwin, with lyrics by Ira Gershwin, for the musical Funny Face in 1927.[1] History The song was published in 1927 by the New World Music Corporation (plate N.W. 59-4) with Smarty, the early title of Funny Face, on the cover.[2] In the tryouts for the show, which opened in Philadelphia on 11 October 1927, it was a duet for the characters of Peter (Stanley Ridges) and Frankie (Adele Astaire).[3] According to Ira Gershwin in his book Lyrics on Several Occasions, after the premiere of Funny Face in Philadelphia he received a call from the then professional manager of Shapiro, Bernstein and Co. asking him to remove the song. When Gershwin asked why, the manager replied that the song “[d]oesn't mean anything ... Well, we've bought a song with the same title and we're about to publish it. Yours doesn't get you anywhere, so how about taking it out of the show?” The song was dropped, as Ira Gershwin wrote: “Well, he had his wish. A couple of weeks later on the road (either in Atlantic City or Washington) 'How Long...' was out, replaced by 'He Loves and She Loves' (not as good a song as the former, but one that managed to get over).” “He Loves and She Loves” remained in Funny Face throughout its Broadway run.[4] "How Long" Ace (UK) Producer John Anthony Track 3 on Five-a-Side Mar. 1975 How Long Lyrics [Chorus] How long has this been going on?

How long has this been going on? [Instrumental Break] [Verse 2] Oh, your friends with their fancy persuasion Don't admit that it's part of a scheme But I can't help but have my suspicion 'Cause I ain't quite as dumb as I seem Oh, you said you was never intending To break up our scene in this way But there ain't any use in pretending It could happen to us any day [Outro] And how long has this been going on?
