The Eagles were originally Linda Ronstadt’s backup band and had their first major hit with the first song on their first album in 1972 (“Take it Easy,” from their debut album, simply titled “Eagles.”) They went on to masterfully craft songs that have sold over 100 million albums. In fact, their 1976 “Greatest Hits” volume was the first LP ever certified platinum, and has sold 29 million copies to date. The band broke up in 1980, and multiple members pursued solo careers. They reunited in 1994 and toured throughout the 1990s and 2000s. Sadly, founding member Glen Frey passed away in 2016.
