JD Souther, a songwriter whose collaborations with The Eagles, Linda Ronstadt and James Taylor helped define the Laurel Canyon-Southern California country-tinged rock sound of the 1970s, has died.
He was 78. According to a message posted last night on his official website, Souther died peacefully at his home in New Mexico.
Neither a cause nor a date of death was given. Born John David Souther – he went by JD, sans periods, throughout nearly all of his professional career – Souther was born in Detroit, raised in Amarillo, Texas, and moved to Los Angeles in the late 1960s, where he soon, and fortuitously, formed a band called Longbranch Pennywhistle with musician-songwriter Glenn Frey.
The two would continue their songwriting collaboration even after Frey went on to cofound The Eagles, one of the most successful rock bands in history.
