Don Henley is best known for his role as co-founder of The Eagles. During the span of their 10 year career, the band met enormous international success and sold more than 80 million albums worldwide. At the time of their 1981 break-up, they had four No. 1 albums, five No. 1 singles, and four Grammys to their credit. Though Don Henley was the band's drummer, he co-wrote all 10 of the group's top 10 hits and sang lead on many of them.
With a 1972 debut album boasting two top 20 singles -- "Take It Easy," co-written by Glenn Frey and Jackson Browne and "Witchy Woman," penned by Don Henley and Bernie Leadon - The Eagles soared from the start. Though Frey and Henley had written no songs together on their first album, by the time of 1973's follow-up "Desperado," they began a fruitful songwriting partnership that lasted for the duration of the group.
With 1984's double-platinum "Building The Perfect Beast," Henley's solo career markedly heated up. "The Boys Of Summer," the album's opening track, was a brilliant single which, with its memorable lyrics about a Cadillac bearing a "Deadhead" sticker and Henley's refrain, "Don't look back, you can never look back," conveyed a new maturity that has suited Don Henley well and helped take him into the '90s perceived as a relevant artist. Three additional top 40 hits, including the top 10 "All She Wants To Do Is Dance," kept the album high in the charts well over a year.
Henley's third solo album, 1989's "The End of Innocence," reached No. 8, went triple-platinum and perhaps most amazingly - enjoyed a marathon stay on the charts of 148 weeks.
Henley reunited with the Eagles in 1994, embarking on a worldwide tour. The group released a live album culled from an appearance on MTV Unplugged called Hell Freezes Over; the record also featured a handful of new studio tracks. Hell Freezes Over was a major success, selling over five million copies by the summer of 1995. However, the group decided not to pursue any more projects together and Henley continued working on his fourth solo album, finally issued in mid-2000 under the title Inside Job. ~ Stephen Thomas Erlewine, All Music Guide
