NASHVILLE, TN - OCTOBER 16: Glen Frey and Don Henley of the Eagles perform during "History Of The Eagles Live In Concert" at the Bridgestone Arena on October 16, 2013 in Nashville, Tennessee.

Glenn Frey would’ve turned 69 today (November 6.)  The prolific songwriter left us all too soon this year, but we’ll always fondly look back on Frey’s career thanks to these incredible, time-tested tracks.

Frey and Don Henley were both inducted into the Songwriters Hall of Fame in 2000, and after listening to these six tracks, it’s understandable why.
