Biography of Dan FogelbergPhoenix’s follow-up The Innocent Age (1981) also went double platinum on the strength of the singles “Same Old Lang Syne” (#9 pop, #8 adult contemporary), “Hard To Say” (#7 pop, #2 adult contemporary), “Leader Of The Band” (#9 pop, #1 adult contemporary) and “Run For The Roses” (#18 pop, #3 adult contemporary). Despite The Innocent Age‘s other singles faring relatively better on the charts than “Leader Of The Band,” that song grew to be more enduring each passing year. It was probably because Fogelberg wrote this as a touching tribute to his father who as above mentioned was a high school band director, the “leader of the band.” In 1982, Dan Fogelberg released his first-ever Greatest Hits compilation, which became one of his best-selling efforts. It sold three million copies and was certified multi-platinum. Greatest Hits also featured two new songs “Missing You” (#23 pop, #6 adult contemporary) and “Make Love Stay” (#29 pop, #1 adult con
Starting out in local bands playing rock and roll, Fogelberg found his passion on acoustic guitar. He left his studies at the University of Illinois and headed for the West Coast, finding inspiration during a week in Colorado before moving on and securing a recording contract. For his second release, Souvenirs, Fogelberg enlisted producer Joe Walsh, who had recently recorded at Caribou Ranch near Nederland, and “Part of the Plan” went to the top of the charts. While touring through Colorado in the mid-1970s, Fogelberg bought a house from Chris Hillman, situated 9,000 feet up in the Rocky Mountains. His time there resulted in the songs on Nether Lands, a platinum seller. He recorded part of his next venture, Phoenix, in Colorado, and the songs “Heart Hotels” and “Longer” were pop hits. The Innocent Age, released in October 1981, was Fogelberg’s critical and commercial peak. The double album included four of his biggest hits: “Same Old Lang Syne,” “Hard to Say,” “Leader of the Band” and “Run for the Roses.” He drew inspiration for The Innocent Age from Thomas Wolfe’s novel Of Time Copyright ©bernate.pages.dev 2025 | ||||||
