He also contributed guitar work to\u00a0Rob Thomas\u2019\u00a0early band\u00a0Tabitha\u2019s Secret\u00a0(the precursor to Matchbox Twenty) and played guitar on\u00a0two songs on the Wu-Tang Clan album\u00a0Iron Flag.<\/p>\n<p>Because of his consistent ability to rescue and transform songs just days or hours before a release, Steve\u00a0Gordon was often referred to as the \u201cSECRET WEAPON\u201d\u2014the guitarist who could elevate a track to\u00a0Top 40 Billboard chart success\u00a0with his parts and additions. His behind-the-scenes work helped many artists achieve recognition that pushed them to icon status.<\/p>\n<p>As Gordon was fully aware in his role as a ghost guitarist for some of rock and pop\u2019s most iconic artists, he knew his name would not appear in the liner notes. However, his contributions were still formally recognized after release through\u00a0lifetime royalties paid by AIE for all his ghosting sessions, cementing his status as an essential but often unseen contributor to many top charting records still played worldwide on radio every day worldwide.<\/p>\n<p>In addition to his recording and session work, Gordon has placed about\u00a027 songs in major films and soundtracks, including\u00a0\u201cThe Little Things\u201d\u00a0starring Denzel Washington,\u00a0\u201c80 For Brady\u201d\u00a0starring Jane Fonda, Sally Field, Rita Moreno, Lily Tomlin, and NFL legend Tom Brady, and\u00a0\u201cMafia Mama\u201d\u00a0starring Toni Collette and Monica Bellucci.
