Donald Hugh " Don " Henley (born July 22, 1947, in Gilmer, Texas) is an
American rock singer, songwriter and drummer, best known as a founding
member of the Eagles before launching a successful Grammy Award-winning
solo career. In 2008, he was ranked the 87th greatest singer of all time by
Rolling Stone magazine.
Henley has also played a founding role in several environmental and political
causes, most notably the Walden Woods Project. Since 1994, he has divided
his musical activities between the Eagles and his solo career.
Following the breakup of the Eagles, Henley embarked on a productive solo
career, the most commercially successful of any of the Eagles. His first solo
release, 1982's I Can't Stand Still, was a moderate seller. The single "Dirty
Laundry", a denunciation of tabloid media, received the most airplay. Henley
and his erstwhile lover, Stevie Nicks, would duet on her Billboard Hot 100 No.
6 hit "Leather and Lace" that same year. Henley contributed "Love Rules" to
the Fast Times at Ridgemont High soundtrack.
This was followed in 1984 by Building the Perfect Beast, which featured
layered synthesizers and was a marked departure from the Eagles'
country-rock sound. A single release, "The Boys of Summer", reached No. 5
on the Billboard Hot 100. The song's haunting rhythms and lyrics of loss and
aging, capped by seeing "a Deadhead sticker on a Cadillac," immediately
connected with a certain age group. The music video for the song was a
striking, evocative, black-and-white, French New Wave-influenced montage
directed by Jean-Baptiste Mondino that won several MTV Video Music Awards
including Best Video of the Year. Henley also won the Grammy Award for Best
Male Rock Vocal Performance for the song. Several other songs on the
album, "All She Wants to Do Is Dance" (No. 9 on Hot 100), "Not Enough Love
in the World" (#34) and "Sunset Grill" (#22) also received considerable
airplay.
Henley's next album, 1989's The End of the Innocence, was even more
successful. The song "The End of the Innocence", a collaboration with Bruce
Hornsby, is a melancholy, piano-driven tale of finding bits of happiness in a
corrupt world, and reached No. 8 as a single. The hit follow-up, "The Heart of
the Matter", is an emotive chance remembrance of a lost love. Both songs
use the effective technique of varying the words in the chorus each time it is
sung, to advance the song's narrative. The album's "The Last Worthless
Evening" and "New York Minute" were among other songs that gained radio
airplay. Henley again won the Best Male Rock Vocal Performance Grammy for
the album.
