The Eagles are an American rock band formed in Los Angeles in 1971. With five number-one singles, six number-one albums, six Grammy Awards, and five American Music Awards, the Eagles were one of the most successful musical acts of the 1970s. Founding members Glenn Frey, Don Henley, Bernie Leadon and Randy Meisner, were recruited by Linda Ronstadt as band members, some touring with her, and all playing on her third solo album, before venturing out on their own on David Geffen's new Asylum Records label.Their debut Eagles in 1972 spawned three top 40 singles: "Take It Easy", "Witchy Woman", and "Peaceful Easy Feeling". 1973's follow up Desperado only charted at number 41 in the US, although "Desperado" and "Tequila Sunrise" became two of the band's most popular tracks. In 1974 guitarist Don Felder joined, and On the Border produced the top-40 hit "Already Gone" and the Eagles' first number-one song, "Best of My Love". In 1975, guitarist and vocalist Joe Walsh replaced Leadon, and One of These Nights included number-one hit "One of These Nights", and top-ten songs "Lyin' Eyes", and "Take It to the Limit".
