Born into a musical family in Peoria, Illinois on August 13, 1951, Dan Fogelberg epitomized the term ‘singer-songwriter’ during the 1970s. After being discovered and represented by music mogul Irving Azoff, his string of successes began with his platinum 1972 debut album, Home Free, and continued on up until his commercial peak in 1981’s The Innocent Age which included a number of his biggest hits such as “Leader of the Band,” “Same Old Lang Syne,” and “Hard to Say.”

Fogelberg released new music up until the time he lost his fight with prostate cancer, in 2007.
