'Desperado'
In 1972, the album Eagles proved highly successful, making the band one of the most successful purveyors of country rock even so early in their career. Now, in 1973, they faced the daunting task of following up that hit record, with the album Desperado coming out in April.

Horizon by Carpenters (1975)
HORIZON (Morning opens quietly, a shadow vision over me) Carpenters were the most popular sibling duo of the 1970s. In the US they achieved 16 consecutive Top 20 hit from 1970 to 1976. They were considered a sure bet by record producers and songwriters always submitted their songs to Carpenters first. Several songs that Carpenters recorded first but did not release as a single such as "Can't Smile Without You" and "I Just Fall In Love Again" went on to become hits for other pop contemporaries.

'Eagles'
The original Eagles, Glenn Frey, Don Henley, Bernie Leadon and Randy Meisner, each came from diverse backgrounds before performing together for the first time as Linda Ronstadt's backing band at Disneyland in 1971. The two relatively inexperienced Eagles destined to be the group leaders were Glenn Frey, born and raised in Detroit, Michigan and Don Henley, from Linden Texas. Both say their lives were changed by seeing The Beatles on the Ed Sullivan Show in 1964, as so many American musicians have.

Eddie Has Left The Building
Encountering Meatloaf in The Rocky Horror Picture Show The first time I had an encounter with Michael Lee Aday (born Marvin Lee Aday; September 27, 1947 – Left This Mortal Plane January 20, 2022), was watching the excellent musical Richard O’ Brien’s “The Rocky Horror Picture Show” featuring Tim Curry as the sweet transvestite Dr. Frank-N-Furter - A Scientist and Meatloaf as Eddie, an Ex Delivery Boy on a Motorcycle with only half a brain who met his comeuppance with a pick axe.
