Remembering J D Souther
 |
It was lead by J D Souther, the songwriters Hall of Fame inductee who had hit collaborations with Bonnie Raitt, James Taylor, Dan Fogleberg, Don Henley, Christopher Cross, the Eagles, Roy Orbison, and Linda Ronstadt.
I'd like to state here that I'm not a fan of 'hits' as it were.
I prefer "non-hit" versions of standards and music you don't encounter in some dull and commonplace top 40 survey.
I reject the entire notion of musical "good hits" because I don't feel there is any such thing.
Patooey !
John David Souther was born November 2, 1945 and passed September 17, 2024.
He was on the crux of an imminent tour with Karla Bonoff on September 24 in Phoenix, when he passed peacefully at home in New Mexico.
He had a brief acting career and appeared on TV and in movies.
His was a long and productive life with recognition and admiration by his fans and that of other performers with whom he collaborated.
Rest in Peace.
