Glenn Frey, founding member of The Eagles is no longer with us, and we’re taking a look back at a few of our favorite songs from Glenn.
“Smugglers Blues” was a monster hit for Glenn in 1984 was a song that was co-written by Glenn, and inspired a Miami Vice episode featuring both the song and Glenn in his first acting gig. The song won an MTV Award in 1985, and is considered by many to be the signature song from Glenn Frey.
“You Belong to the City” was another Glenn Frey smash that found its way to the popular ‘Miami Vice’ TV series, giving drama to the scene.
“Desperado” is an early Glenn Frey-Don Henley composition that crossed over to Country, and has been covered countless times by many groups. The song earned a great deal of airplay on radio stations of all formats, and was never released as a single.
