Souther was born in Detroit, Michigan, and raised in Amarillo, Texas. In the ’60s, he moved to Los Angeles and began collaborating with Glenn Frey; the pair briefly formed the duo Longbranch Pennywhistle and released one eponymous album in 1970. However, they went on to continue a fruitful partnership. Souther helped write Eagles hits including “Best of My Love,” “James Dean,” “New Kid In Town,” “Doolin-Dalton,” and “Heartache Tonight.”
