Missin' Twenty Grand is the debut studio album by the American singer and songwriter David Lasley, released in 1982 on EMI Records.

Thematically, the album centers around longing for his days singing at The 20 Grand, a Detroit club where he made appearances with his group The Utopias.

[6][7][8][9] Holden called it one "of the year's most impressive debut albums"..."superbly crafted, organically conceived" and "accessible mainstream pop.

"[1] "The blue-eyed soul crooner from the Motor City...pours out his feelings with a tenderness and warmth that recalls the early Chi-Lites and Raindrops"..."falsetto intonations spiced with playfulness, amity and sheer joy.

"[12] "Personal and sensitive songs"  Lasley's unique falsetto vocal style works well on both pop and r&b accented tunes"... “A white boy's homage to Motown, a between-the-lines gay romance, the last of a dying breed of singer-songwriters.”[9] Musicians Technical personnel
