Glenn Lewis Frey, born on November 6, 1948, in Detroit, Michigan, was a renowned American musician, singer, songwriter, and actor. He was a founding member of the Eagles, a band that significantly impacted rock music. Frey was the co-lead singer and frontman of the Eagles, sharing these roles with Don Henley.

He achieved several Top 40 hits, including "The One You Love," "Smuggler's Blues," and "The Heat Is On."
