Glenn Lewis Frey (born November 6, 1948 in Detroit, Michigan is an American <br />
musician, singer, songwriter, and actor, best known as one of the founding <br />
members of the rock band The Eagles.<br />
<br />
Early life<br />
<br />
Growing up in Royal Oak, Michigan, Frey became part of the mid-1960s <br />
Detroit rock scene. One of his earliest bands was called the Mushrooms and <br />
included fellow Dondero High School students Doug Roberts (later replaced <br />
by Lenny Mintz) on drums, Doug Gunsch and Bill Barnes on guitar and Jeff <br />
Hodge on bass.<br />
<br />
His first professional recording experience was performing acoustic guitar and <br />
background vocals on Bob Seger's Ramblin' Gamblin' Man in 1968. Frey and <br />
Seger would remain friends and occasional songwriting partners in later <br />
years.<br />
<br />
Frey then moved to Los Angeles to follow a girlfriend who was an aspiring <br />
singer. His first recording as a musical writer was while fronting Longbranch <br />
Pennywhistle, a duo with J.D. Souther, in 1969. Frey also met Jackson <br />
Browne there, with whom he would also write songs. The three shared an <br />
apartment for a short time.<br />
<br />
<br />
Tenure with the Eagles<br />
<br />
After a stint in 1971 backing Linda Ronstadt, Frey helped form the Eagles, <br />
playing guitar and keyboards. Frey wrote or co-wrote (often with Don <br />
Henley) many of the group's songs, and sang lead vocal on a number of <br />
Eagles hits including "Take It Easy", "Peaceful Easy Feeling", "Already Gone", <br />
"Tequila Sunrise", "Lyin' Eyes", "New Kid in Town", "Heartache Tonight", and <br />
"How Long".<br />
<br />
The Eagles broke up in 1980 and reunited in 1994, when they released an <br />
album mixing both live tracks and four new songs, Hell Freezes Over.<br />
<br />
2007 saw the release of the Eagles' album Long Road Out of Eden.<br />
<br />
<br />
Solo career<br />
<br />
After the Eagles disbanded, Frey found solo success in the 1980s, especially <br />
with two #2 hits: the soundtrack songs "The Heat Is On" (from Beverly Hills <br />
Cop) and "You Belong to the City" (from the television series Miami Vice, the <br />
soundtrack to which stayed on top of the U.S. album charts for 11 weeks in <br />
1985). His other contribution to the soundtrack, "Smuggler's Blues", hit #12 <br />
on the Hot 100. Frey also contributed the song "Flip City" to the <br />
Ghostbusters II soundtrack, and "Part of Me, Part of You" to the soundtrack <br />
for Thelma and Louise.<br />
<br />
During his solo career he had 12 songs in the U.S. Top One Hundred. Eleven <br />
of those were written with Jack Tempchin who also wrote Peaceful Easy <br />
Feeling.<br />
<br />
In the late 1990s, Frey founded a record company with attorney Peter Lopez <br />
called Mission Records.<br />
<br />
Acting career<br />
<br />
As an actor on television, Frey guest starred on Miami Vice in an episode <br />
inspired by his hit song "Smuggler's Blues" and had a starring role in the "Dead <br />
Dog Arc" of Wiseguy. He was also the star of the short-lived South of <br />
Sunset, which was canceled after one episode. In the late-1990s, he guest <br />
starred on Nash Bridges as a policeman whose teenage daughter had run <br />
amok and gone on a crime spree with her sociopath boyfriend. In 2002, he <br />
appeared on HBO's Arli$$, playing a political candidate who double-crosses <br />
Arliss and must pay a high price for it.<br />
<br />
Frey's first foray into film was his starring role in Let's Get Harry, a 1986 film <br />
about a group of plumbers who travel down to Colombia to rescue a friend <br />
from a drug lord. Frey's next film appearance was a smaller role in Cameron <br />
Crowe's third film, Jerry Maguire. Frey played the frugal owner of the Arizona <br />
Cardinals football team who, in the film's climax, finally agrees to pay Cuba <br />
Gooding's character, wide receiver Rod Tidwell, a large professional contract.<br />
<br />
Commercial endorsements<br />
<br />
Frey appeared in or wrote music for a few advertisement campaigns in the <br />
mid-to-late 1980s and early 1990s. This move was somewhat controversial <br />
within the music industry; Neil Young was especially vocal in his criticism of <br />
Frey.<br />
<br />
Frey's first appearance as an actor in a commercial was for Pepsi with Miami <br />
Vice star Don Johnson. Another notable commercial campaign was the "Hard <br />
Rock in the 70s, Rock Hard in the 80s" gym campaign of 1988, which featured <br />
a photograph of a newly physically toned Frey contrasted with the famous <br />
Hotel California insert photograph. He even did a picture spread in Rolling <br />
Stone modeling ski wear, and a spread in Penthouse modeling sweaters.<br />
<br />
Frey also contributed music for several commercials, with his jingle for <br />
Canada Dry ginger ale evolving into the obscure Japanese Strange Weather <br />
bonus track "Ain't It Love".<br />
<br />
References in pop culture<br />
<br />
Cameron Crowe, who interviewed the Eagles on the road when he was a <br />
teenager, has stated that the character of Russell, the lead guitar player <br />
from his film Almost Famous, was based primarily upon Glenn Frey. The <br />
instruction Russell gives to Crowe's autobiographical young critic William <br />
Miller, to "Just make us look cool," was apparently a direct quote from Frey.<br />
<br />
In the television show Corner Gas, in the episode "Hook, Line and Sinker", the <br />
characters are putting up a sign outside the gas station. Brent says he was <br />
careful in choosing letters that could not be rearranged to spell something <br />
crazy. Wanda asks what it is. Brent says "Come for the oil change, stay for <br />
the grease." and soon after, Wanda says "Choose Glenn Frey for a menage <br />
à trois."<br />
<br />
There is a Saturday Night Live short, called The H(eat) Is O(n), by Adam <br />
McKay, in which a character named Wes, played by Ben Stiller has a one <br />
night stand with Glenn Frey (played by Will Ferrell). Over the course of the <br />
evening, Glenn reveals his penchant for aggressive sex play, leaving Wes <br />
very upset.<br />
<br />
The Randy Stonehill song Teen King is about Glenn Frey's experiences as a <br />
rock star.<br />
<br />
Trivia<br />
<br />
The popular track "The Heat Is On" (from Beverly Hills Cop) was ranked 784th <br />
out of 2006 songs by voting featured in the Triple M Essential 2006 <br />
Countdown. <br />
'The Heat is On' is Ottawa Senators star forward Dany Heatley's goal song. <br />
'The Heat is On' is the song played when the Omaha Lancers junior hockey <br />
team scores, and 'Partytown' is played at Waterloo Black Hawks games when <br />
the home team scores. Both teams play in the United States Hockey League. <br />
During the mid-to-late 80s, it was also played at New York Mets home games <br />
following a home run by a Mets player. <br />
Monday through Friday, KSHE95 in St. Louis, MO plays "Partytown" at 10:00 <br />
AM CST with Todd Rundgren's "Bang the Drum All Day" following right after. <br />
