Glenn Frey is certainly most famous for being a founding member of California rock group The Eagles, but his career started long before that, and continues long after. When Frey was a teenager in Detroit, he played with a number of groups and worked with a number of musicians including Bob Seger. In fact Frey played guitar on Seger’s Ramblin Gamblin Man in 1968. His influence and friendship would be a lifelong part of Glenn Frey’s life. In ’68 Frey’s Girlfriend, also a musician, moved to California and Frey soon followed. There he met J.D. Souther, and Jackson Browne (they all lived in the same building). Eventually through these connections he met up with Don Henley and the Eagles were born.
