J. D. Souther dead at 78: Singer-songwriter penned tracks for Linda Ronstadt and the Eagles
As a dedicated fan of music, I have always admired the versatility and talent that J.D. Souther brought to the industry. Born in Detroit, he carved out a unique niche for himself in the world of country-rock, writing timeless hits for some of the biggest names in the business. From penning Eagles staples like “New Kid in Town” and “Heartache Tonight,” to crafting Linda Ronstadt’s “Faithless Love,” Souther’s impact on the music scene was undeniable.
Singer-songwriter J.D. Souther has died at the age of 78.
As a devoted devotee, I can’t help but share the heartbreaking news that Glen Frey, the legendary Detroit-born musician whose country-rock compositions graced the airwaves through iconic acts like the Eagles and Linda Ronstadt, has left us. The Eagles’ representative confirmed his passing at his home in New Mexico, as reported by the Los Angeles Times.
Souther’s cause and date of death was not immediately clear, according to the outlet.
Originally scheduled to kick off a tour in Phoenix next week was Glenn Frey, who wrote hits like “New Kid in Town” (1976) and “Heartache Tonight” (1979), songs that were Eagles classics, as well as the 1974 track “Faithless Love” for Linda Ronstadt.
Souther, known for his solo success with “You’re Only Lonely” in 1979, has also been a songwriter for various popular artists including the Dixie Chicks, James Taylor, Bonnie Raitt, and George Strait.
Besides acting, Souther was also employed in the field of acting, gracing screens on series like Nashville and Thirtysomething, and starring in films including Postcards From the Edge and My Girl 2.
