Fergie Frederiksen has also enjoyed a long, prosperous and highly varied career in music; Tom Demalon of Allmusic has written of him: “If a music fan was desiring to create a game similar to the one based upon actor Kevin Bacon and his seemingly endless ties to other actors, singer Fergie Frederiksen might find himself to be a suitable candidate.”
