Leader of the band

Dan Fogelberg, the mellow pop singer/lyricist most memorable for his popular era during the mid 70s to early 80s has died after a long battle with prostate cancer. He was only 56.



My favorite D.F. songs were from his earliest "Phoenix" era. More progressive than the ballads and folksy stuff in later years, but all of his work is known for engaging storylines. He'll be missed, but his work lives on.

I saw Dan Fogelberg five times in concert. He put on an amazing show, equally adept at guitar and keyboard; a true one man show.

My favorite Fogelberg song? Part of the Plan.

There is no Eden or
Heavenly gates
That you're gonna make it to
One day
But all of the answers you seek
Can be found
In the dreams that you dream
On the way.
