Born in Detroit, Michigan, November 6, 1948. Unlike Henley, he had grown up in a much different surrounding of the city. He was trying his hand at a solo career and finally landed a chance to play for David Geffen, then manager of Joni Mitchell and Crosby, Stills,Nash & Young. Geffen discouraged the solo attempt by Frey and encouraged him to join a band. Frey lucked out, and got a job with Linda Ronstadt. The band was in need of drummer and this is where Frey hooked up with Henley! Amazing huh? The two made quite a pair and on their very first night playing on the Ronstadt tour, they agreed to start their own band. Geffen would be their manager. It wasn't easy for them in the beginning. Even ending up sharing a room with Jackson Browne, who co-wrote many songs with the Eagles. "Take It Easy" was their first song written by Browne and Frey.
