Paul Pena



Paul Pena (January 26, 1950, Hyannis, Massachusetts – October 1, 2005, San Francisco) was an American singer, songwriter and guitarist.

His music touched on Delta blues, jazz, morna, flamenco, folk, rock and roll and Tuvan throat-singing. Pena is probably best known for writing the song "Jet Airliner," a major 1977 hit for the Steve Miller Band and a staple of classic rock radio, and for appearing in the 1999 documentary film Genghis Blues.
