Remembering The Eagles Glenn Frey

The Truth About Glenn Frey (1948 - 2016) Glenn Frey Life Story
With a voice as smooth as California cool and a songwriting prowess that defined a generation, Glenn Frey wasn't just a frontman – he was the driving force behind the Eagles' meteoric rise. From the sun-drenched harmonies of "Hotel California" to the laid-back swagger of "Take It Easy," Frey's music became the soundtrack for countless road trips and heartfelt moments, leaving an undeniable mark on the landscape of American rock.

Glenn Frey a successful actor and solo performer, leaves a huge legacy above all in his body of work with the Eagles. One of the most successful bands of all time, they defined a particular strain of melodic, sophisticated American rock in the 1970s. “Glenn was the man who started it all,” wrote the band’s drummer and vocalist Don Henley, whose partnership with Glenn Frey was at the core of the Eagles’ success. “He was the spark plug, the man with the plan.”

As the Eagles developed from the country-rock sound of their 1972 debut album, Eagles, through a stream of bestsellers that included One of These Nights (1975), Hotel California (1976) and The Long Run (1979), Frey was prominent as guitarist and vocalist, and as co-writer on their most memorable songs.

Their first single and breakthrough hit, Take It Easy, was co-written by Frey and Jackson Browne, and he subsequently contributed to the US No 1 hits Best of My Love, One of These Nights, New Kid in Town, Hotel California and Heartache Tonight. The songs Tequila Sunrise, Desperado, Lyin’ Eyes and The Long Run also carried the Frey writing imprint.

In sales terms, the Eagles set benchmarks that will almost certainly never be matched. The 1976 compilation Their Greatest Hits (1971-1975) is said to have been the bestselling album of the 20th century, with more than 40m copies sold. Their most successful non-compilation disc, Hotel California, sold 32m worldwide. The Long Run, their swansong before a 14-year hiatus, was deemed dull and disappointing by critics but still managed to shift 7m copies, reach the top of the album charts and produce three Top 10 singles.

The Eagles came to be regarded as the quintessential California band, but only their bass player Timothy Schmit, who replaced Randy Meisner in 1977, was a native of the Golden State. Frey was born in Detroit, Michigan, the son of Edward, a car factory worker, and Nellie, and grew up in the suburb of Royal Oak. His mother insisted he take piano lessons, but when the Beatles exploded over America, he switched to guitar. He played with such local bands as the Subterraneans and the Four of Us, and in 1967 formed the Mushrooms.
