The Eagles spent more years disbanded than they have together as a band, but the body of work they produced from 1971-1980 and the tours they have staged since getting back together in 1994 have kept them one of America's most prominent bands. In addition to QBing the Eagles, Don Henley has 5 solo albums to his credit. The drummer/guitarist/vocalist/producer was born on this day in 1947 in Gilmor, Texas.
