The Eagles pay tribute to 'brother and friend' J. D. Souther following his death aged 78
The Eagles have paid tribute to their 'brother and collaborator' J.D. Souther following his death aged 78.
The Detroit-born musical artist, who wrote country-rock songs for popular acts including the Hotel California hitmakers and Linda Ronstadt, passed away at his New Mexico home, a rep for the Eagles told the Los Angeles Times this week. Ronstadt's band would add future Eagles members Henley, guitar player Bernie Leadon and bassist Randy Meisner, with the quarter breaking off and forming the group. Souther began performing in 1973 in the Souther-Hillman-Furay Band with The Byrds' Chris Hillman and Buffalo Springfield's Richie Furay, which released a duo of country-rock records: their self-titled 1974 debut album and 1975's Trouble in Paradise.
