Wow! He co-wrote many songs with Eagles.
I loved his solo song "You're Only Lonely" (which should have been an Eagles song)
RIP

Great songwriter who I mistakenly thought was one of the Eagles. Thanks for the music.

Gone from this ...
Very sad, JD influenced so many without us even knowing it!
RIP.
RIP.
My all-time favorite songs by J.D. Souther are...
You're Only Lonely (#7 AT40 1979)
Her Town Too (#11 AT40 1981) with James Taylor
Best of My Love (#1 AT40 1975) New Kid in Town (#1 AT40 1977) & Heartache Tonight (#1 AT40 1979) by the Eagles.
PS-"You're Only Lonely" sounds like a sequel to "Only the Lonely" by Roy Orbison.

Yeah put "You're Only Lonely" on "The Long Run", what a monster album it would have been.
