Together with Glenn Frey, original Eagle Don Henley co-wrote and sang many of the band's biggest hits, including Hotel California, Desperado and Life in the Fast Lane, helping turn the pair into one of rock's most successful and wealthiest songwriting partnerships.

The drummer and vocalist also enjoyed a massively successful solo career after the 1980 breakup, with hits like Dirty Laundry and The Boys of Summer, not to mention top-five duets with Stevie Nicks and Patty Smyth. Following Frey's passing, Henley became the Eagles' sole remaining founding member.
