No ego trip here, like Henley & Frey, as much as I adore their music. Souther is as much a part of that band as any member of The Eagles ever were, and his contributions, particulary "New Kid In Town" and "The Last Resort" were just...I ain't got the words.
+Angela M And rightly so, Angela. He certinly earned it in the business. Soft-spoken, hard-working, understated, and underrated. Nice to see someone else actually "gets it."
Angela M You are so right! I just learned this guy's name, but I've adored his music since the 70s. What a great, brilliantly creative, respectable and humble man. JD, you won my heart.
J.D. Souther one of America's greatest songwriters. He is as much a part of the "California Sound" or "Laurel Canyon Sound" as anybody else. I lived in Hollywood for several years back in the early 1980's and passed by Musso & Franks on Hollywood Blvd. hundreds of times. After seeing this interview I wonder if J.D. was in there writing. Love the Hollywood Hills as much as he seems to. So many times during those early days when things weren't "going well" I though about returning to my hometown in the S.F. bay area. However, I looked at the Hollywood sign, felt the warm L.A. sun and said NO, gotta hang on. I did hang on and L.A. is still my home for over 35 years.
'Glen Frey was my roommate and Geffen said "Hey...get a band together." ;wow.... JD Souther...beyond beyond. Can't wait to see Alpha Go beat JD Souther in songwriting before I die. NOW - That will be one sweet day!
One of TV advertisements should have a clip of 3 Japanese girls singing "When Your Only Lonely" by J.D. Souther It would be a smash - Please check it out - Remember Marji suggested it. So very cute.
RIP, JD, & thanks for all your music, songs & performanced~

When ever the Eagles get interview they always mention how important JD was to their career along with Linda Ronstadt
Wonderful song writer
I met him last year in Nashville, and he's a nice guy.
I'm a fan JD, and always have been. Keep on rockin bro!
Love J D Souther.......have immense respect for him.

Laurel Canyon: LSD, CIA, Satanism...
Amazing song writer. I love 'Faithless Love' New Kid in Town' Doolin Dalton'. So many great songs.
I love JD Souther keep on trucking God bless
i love the Hollywood hills too ..wonderful area. nice memories.
❤ great music!
S.H.E from Taiwan !!!!
awoke to the sad news that JD had passed. So many of the greatest songs of the 70s, Eagles, Ronstadt, were his. RIP to one of SoCal's greats.
One great singer/songwriter.
Prisoner in Disguise and Silver Blue. Still love your tunes.
RIP JD 😓💔🕊️
Now I'm hipped. Thanks.
Love him.....
Bravo J D desde Argentina julio de 2022
Super Talented
The Eagles as a group sound like him period. Without this guy there would be no Eagles as we know the band. Thats a fact.
'Glen Frey was my roommate and Geffen said "Hey...get a band together." ;wow.... JD Souther...beyond beyond. Can't wait to see Alpha Go beat JD Souther in songwriting before I die. NOW - That will be one sweet day!
Just Awesome 🌲❤️🌲
Southern is fantastic!!! I’m embarrassed I don’t know much about him.
He is in the SONG WRITERS HALL OF FAME.
And certainly belongs there.
It's S.H.E
Playing some Chuck Taylors. Can't help how cool he is, can he?

A CLASS ACT......
oved lindacand her singing
Don't forget Karla Bonoff
Dude looks A LOT like Clint Eastwoo here, huh??!
gretchen mreminting I was thinking the exact same thing! Like in "Dirty Harry"...
gretchen mreminting sexy as hell
I'm agree his still looks handsome
Favorite "California" songwriter? Uh...how about FAVORITE ALL TIME SONGWRITER? ! JD Souther was THE VERY BEST!! He was The Eagles!
s.h.e😍
just like that thath man jas now
Cor!
Wow miss Steve Edwards on ch 11 news. Stopped watching ch 11 after he left.
Souther should have been asked to play Bobby Lee in "Gettysburg" instead of Martin Sheen. A little makeup ... he would have been perfect.
Notice the two girls offstage not paying any attention. They look good but have no substance.
La verdad tendrían que pasarlo en castellano !!?!
Is J.D. married? I heard "Yes" but they haven't released her name - go figure"
