+Angela M And rightly so, Angela. He certinly earned it in the business. Soft-spoken, hard-working, understated, and underrated. Nice to see someone else actually "gets it."
Angela M You are so right! I just learned this guy's name, but I've adored his music since the 70s. What a great, brilliantly creative, respectable and humble man. JD, you won my heart.
No ego trip here, like Henley & Frey, as much as I adore their music. Souther is as much a part of that band as any member of The Eagles ever were, and his contributions, particulary "New Kid In Town" and "The Last Resort" were just...I ain't got the words.
J.D. Souther one of America's greatest songwriters. He is as much a part of the "California Sound" or "Laurel Canyon Sound" as anybody else. I lived in Hollywood for several years back in the early 1980's and passed by Musso & Franks on Hollywood Blvd. hundreds of times. After seeing this interview I wonder if J.D. was in there writing. Love the Hollywood Hills as much as he seems to. So many times during those early days when things weren't "going well" I though about returning to my hometown in the S.F. bay area. However, I looked at the Hollywood sign, felt the warm L.A. sun and said NO, gotta hang on. I did hang on and L.A. is still my home for over 35 years.
'Glen Frey was my roommate and Geffen said "Hey...get a band together." ;wow.... JD Souther...beyond beyond. Can't wait to see Alpha Go beat JD Souther in songwriting before I die. NOW - That will be one sweet day!
One of TV advertisements should have a clip of 3 Japanese girls singing "When Your Only Lonely" by J.D. Souther It would be a smash - Please check it out - Remember Marji suggested it. So very cute.
RIP, JD, & thanks for all your music, songs & performanced~
His writing and singing is definitely one of the best!!

When ever the Eagles get interview they always mention how important JD was to their career along with Linda Ronstadt
I met him last year in Nashville, and he's a nice guy.
I love JD Souther keep on trucking God bless

Laurel Canyon: LSD, CIA, Satanism...
i love the Hollywood hills too ..wonderful area. nice memories.
One great singer/songwriter.
S.H.E from Taiwan !!!!
Bravo J D desde Argentina julio de 2022
awoke to the sad news that JD had passed. So many of the greatest songs of the 70s, Eagles, Ronstadt, were his. RIP to one of SoCal's greats.
Love him.....
❤ great music!
Prisoner in Disguise and Silver Blue. Still love your tunes.

RIP JD 😓💔🕊️
The Eagles as a group sound like him period. Without this guy there would be no Eagles as we know the band. Thats a fact.
Now I'm hipped. Thanks.
Super Talented
Just Awesome 🌲❤️🌲
Southern is fantastic!!! I’m embarrassed I don’t know much about him.
Playing some Chuck Taylors. Can't help how cool he is, can he?
He is in the SONG WRITERS HALL OF FAME.
And certainly belongs there.
It's S.H.E

Dude looks A LOT like Clint Eastwoo here, huh??!
gretchen mreminting I was thinking the exact same thing! Like in "Dirty Harry"...
gretchen mreminting sexy as hell
I'm agree his still looks handsome
La verdad tendrían que pasarlo en castellano !!?!
just like that thath man jas now
Cor!
Favorite "California" songwriter? Uh...how about FAVORITE ALL TIME SONGWRITER? ! JD Souther was THE VERY BEST!! He was The Eagles!
Wow miss Steve Edwards on ch 11 news. Stopped watching ch 11 after he left.
Notice the two girls offstage not paying any attention. They look good but have no substance.
Souther should have been asked to play Bobby Lee in "Gettysburg" instead of Martin Sheen. A little makeup ... he would have been perfect.
Is J.D. married? I heard "Yes" but they haven't released her name - go figure"
