eads, “The Eagles lived <strong>and</strong> recorded their music<br />
here in the early 1970s.” It is a direct, unpoetic<br />
statement, but when the subject is one of the<br />
most successful b<strong>and</strong>s of all time, a b<strong>and</strong> whose<br />
reputation precedes them by far, there is little else<br />
to say. The Eagles spent time in this house <strong>and</strong> on<br />
the beaches below, co-writing songs with<br />
musician Jack Tempchin, including “Already<br />
Gone” <strong>and</strong> “Somebody.” But Tempchin, who has<br />
long resided in <strong>Encinitas</strong>, is perhaps best known<br />
for providing the Eagles with one of their most<br />
enduring hits, “Peaceful Easy Feeling.”<br />
In 1980, the group disb<strong>and</strong>ed <strong>and</strong> went their<br />
separate ways. Joe Walsh, Don Hendley <strong>and</strong><br />
Glen Frey all had very successful solo carrers.<br />
In 1994, they formally reunited for the “Hell<br />
Freezes Over” tour. Frey commented at their first<br />
live performance, “For the record, we never broke<br />
up. We just took a fourteen year vacation.”<br />
The Eagles have been nominated for eighteen<br />
Grammy Awards, which resulted in six wins<br />
since 1973, including Record of the Year for<br />
“Hotel California” in 1978.. They were inducted<br />
into the Rock <strong>and</strong> Roll Hall of Fame in 1988,<br />
<strong>and</strong> into the Vocal Group Hall of Fame in 2001.<br />
Sadly, on January 18, 2016, founding b<strong>and</strong><br />
member, Glenn Frey, from Detroit, Michigan,<br />
passed away at the age of 67 from complications<br />
of rheumatoid arthritis <strong>and</strong> pneumonia. Frey<br />
wrote or co-wrote (often with drummer Don<br />
Henley) many of the group’s songs <strong>and</strong> sang the<br />
lead vocals on a number of Eagles hits including<br />
“Take It Easy”, “Peaceful Easy Feeling”, “Already<br />
Gone”, “Tequila Sunrise”, “Lyin’ Eyes”, “New Kid in<br />
Town”, “Heartache Tonight” <strong>and</strong> “How Long”.<br />
The current members of The Eagles are Don<br />
Henley on lead <strong>and</strong> backing vocals, drums,<br />
percussion, rhythm guitar; Joe Walsh on lead<br />
<strong>and</strong> rhythm guitars, backing <strong>and</strong> lead vocals,<br />
keyboards; Timothy B. Schmit on bass guitar,<br />
backing <strong>and</strong> lead vocals, harmonica; Deacon<br />
Frey on rhythm <strong>and</strong> lead guitars, lead <strong>and</strong><br />
backing vocals; <strong>and</strong> Vince Gill on rhythm <strong>and</strong><br />
lead guitars, backing <strong>and</strong> lead vocals.<br />
