In 2021, he entered the Canadian Songwriters Hall of Fame for co-writing the enduring disco hit, “It’s Raining Men,” which he penned alongside Paul Jabara. At the 2002 Grammy ceremony, he won best country instrumental performance for playing on Earl Scruggs’ “Foggy Mountain Breakdown.” At the Emmys, he was nominated twice for outstanding achievement in musical direction, both for his work on Late Night With David Letterman, in 1989 and 1992.
