Initially fronted by Don Henley, Glenn Frey, Randy Meisner and Bernie Leadon, Eagles became one of America's best-known bands, playing such classic hits as "Witchy Woman," "One of These Nights," "Desperado," and "Hotel California". Formerly session players and sidemen for Linda Ronstadt, they began to take shape in Los Angeles in 1971 and are considered the epitome of Southern California country-flavored rock. The Eagles have sold over 120 million albums worldwide and are the 5th highest selling musical act in U.S. history.
