Though he lacked any major chart hits and never achieved blockbuster albums sales, John David "J.D." Souther was one of the key figures of the 1970s Los Angeles country-rock movement. He was part of the duo Longbranch Pennywhistle with future Eagle Glenn Frye, and later a member of the Souther-Hillman-Furay Band, a supergroup put together by David Geffen. Souther's songs had a mellow, country twang and classic pop sensibility that made him a go-to songwriter for the likes of Linda Ronstadt, Bonnie Raitt, and the Eagles themselves. Though Souther had more of an impact as a behind-the-scenes player, he released several solo albums in his own right, and was planning a new release as late as 2007.
