-== Early life and career ==
-Richard Marc Dufay was born in [[Paris]], France.<ref>https://www.allmusic.com/artist/rick-dufay-mn0001526089/biography</ref>
-Before joining Aerosmith, Dufay released an album called ''Tender Loving Abuse'',<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.rickdufay.com/|title=Rick Dufay - song writer, guitar player|website=Rickdufay.com|access-date=23 April 2018}}</ref> produced by Aerosmith producer [[Jack Douglas (record producer)|Jack Douglas]]. It was Douglas who recommended Dufay to [[Steven Tyler]] as Whitford's replacement.<ref>{{Cite web |url=http://www.reocities.com/rfmd2k/dufayint.html |title=Archived copy |access-date=2010-10-11 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20101024110252/http://www.reocities.com/rfmd2k/dufayint.html |archive-date=2010-10-24 |url-status=dead }}</ref> He joined the band after the completion of Aerosmith's 1982 album ''[[Rock in a Hard Place]]''<ref>[https://archive.is/20120910210444/http://www.roadrunnerrecords.com/blabbermouth.net/news.aspx?mode=Article&newsitemID=58668 Profile], Blabbermouth.net; accessed April 22, 2018.</ref> as well being seen in the video for "[[Lightning Strikes (Aerosmith song)|Lightning Strikes]]".{{cn|date=April 2018}}
-Dufay was apparently a stabilizing force for the band on the road, describing himself in ''[[Behind The Music|Behind The Music: Aerosmith]]'' as caring for Tyler during his lowest points of addiction and depression, and suggesting to Tyler that he reunite with Whitford and [[Joe Perry (musician)|Joe Perry]]. Perry thanked Dufay for "committing career suicide" during Aerosmith's [[Rock and Roll Hall of Fame]] acceptance speech in 2001.{{Citation needed|date=October 2010}}

-On the Aerosmith release ''[[Music from Another Dimension!]]'', Dufay plays on the song "Shakey Ground", which is a cover of The Temptations from 1975.
