Heartache Tonight- Don Henley and Glenn Frey wrote this song with Bob Seger and J.D. Souther. Seger helped get the 19 year-old Frey started in the music business. The "Unofficial Eagle", Souther was the first person Glenn Frey met when he moved to Los Angeles in the late 1960's.

Beatlemania - The true beginning of Beatlemania began on February 9, 1964 when they appeared on the Ed Sullivan Show. This is when millions of Americans saw the Beatles live for the first time. During the show, they sang All My Loving, She Loves You, Till There Was You and This Boy.

In 1972 David Bowe offered a song he had written to a band whose first four albums had failed miserably. Mott the Hoople was named after a novel by a 1960’s cult writer named Willard Manus. Despite the talents of Ian Hunter and Mick Ralphs the band had little commercial or artistic success up to that point. With the release of the album “All the Young Dudes” and the Bowe penned single of the same name that all changed. Interestingly enough Bowe had previously offered his hit “Suffragette City” to band only to be turned down. Ralphs of course went on to a stellar career with the band Bad Company. “All the Young Dudes” was named one of the top 500 albums of all time by the editors of Rolling Stone magazine in 2003.
