 Rushton Moreve

November 6, 1943 – July 1, 1981

Born John Rushton Morey, Rushton Moreve joined Steppenwolf in 1967 as the band's original bassist after previously performing with John Kay and Goldy McJohn in the Sparrows. He appeared on the albums Steppenwolf, The Second, At Your Birthday Party, and Early Steppenwolf. His bass playing helped support songs including "Born to Be Wild," "Magic Carpet Ride," "Rock Me," and "It's Never Too Late" during the band's formative years.

Moreve left Steppenwolf in 1969 following disagreements over touring and the band's direction. He later worked with several lesser-known groups and made only occasional returns to recording, remaining largely out of the public eye for the rest of his career.

His work on Steppenwolf's earliest recordings secured his place in the history of hard rock and helped establish the foundation for one of the genre's most influential bands.

Glenn Frey

November 6, 1948 – January 18, 2016

Glenn Frey co-founded the Eagles in 1971 after working as a singer, guitarist, songwriter, and session player in the Los Angeles music scene. As one of the band's principal songwriters and lead singers, he helped shape albums such as Eagles, Desperado, On the Border, One of These Nights, Hotel California, and The Long Run. He co-wrote many of the group's best-known songs, including "Take It Easy," "Peaceful Easy Feeling," "Tequila Sunrise," "Lyin' Eyes," "New Kid in Town," and "Heartache Tonight."

After the Eagles disbanded in 1980, Frey launched a successful solo career with albums including No Fun Aloud, The Allnighter, and Soul Searchin'. His solo hits included "The Heat Is On," "Smuggler's Blues," "You Belong to the City," and "True Love." He reunited with the Eagles in 1994 and remained an important creative force in the band through its later tours and recordings.

Frey's songwriting, vocals, and guitar work helped establish the Eagles as one of the defining American rock bands of the 1970s, while his solo recordings extended his success well beyond the group's original run.
