JD Souther - You're Only Lonely

Welcome to another edition of Seventies Saturday. This weekend we wish a very happy sixty-seventh birthday to American musician, singer/songwriter and actor JD (John David) Souther.

Born in Detroit, Michigan, and raised in Amarillo, Texas, he moved to Los Angeles, California, in the late 1960’s where he became roommates with Glenn Frey (of the Eagles) and lived upstairs from Jackson Browne. After his first solo record in 1972, he joined with Chris Hillman and Richie Furay to form the aptly-named group Souther Hillman Furay Band. He wrote many hits for the Eagles and Linda Ronstadt.
