Just read this...what a damn shame...
This is the seventh or eighth artist to pass in two weeks...
I am sure there have been others that we are just not aware of. I loved Glenn Frey and the Eagles music, especially in the 70's through the early 80's. This is a bummer.
I agreeQuote:

His collaboration with Don Henley rivals the work of Lennon/McCartney for me. I highly recommend any NetFlix users to watch "History of the Eagles".
I was shocked too. I didn't know he was sick. I heard it on the radio a couple hours ago. The station suddenly stopped for "Breaking News". I thought it was gonna be some political news or something, but they announced this about Glenn. I remember hearing the Eagles stuff on the radio during my college undergraduate years.
But, not right now. And, when you do watch it, you'll understand why now is not the time to be promotin' that doc.Quote:

When I was at Motown, Glen was a young singer/writer that would call me constantly trying to get something started. He came up to my office once and played me a few songs. In all honesty, I don't remember why I didn't like them or thought that they wouldn't work at Motown. I finally advised him to go to California and get in a band. I guess my advice worked.. I am so sorry to hear of his passing.
It's cool that he wanted to be with Motown.
Being that he was a Detroit native, I'm not surprised he wanted to join Hitsville. :)
