Don't forget J.D.Souther. And for my money, run don't walk to your nearest CD shop or dial up Amazon or whatever internet shop you use and get this album: BLACK ROSE.. A masterpiece of songwriting and production. Musta cost a fortune to record with all the personnel involved. He even has Stanley Clarke doing a gorgeous acoustic bass accompaniment on Silver Blue which just gives me chills.
And here's a great piece of trivia. He used to share a place with Glenn Frey (they are both from Detroit, but met in LA). And living downstairs was a young Jackson Browne.
And, add to the list of coolest song ever written has gotta be Faithless Love.
