Bernie Leadon, a founding member of the Eagles, turns 79 today, and his influence remains an important part of the band's early history.
Before joining the Eagles, Leadon had already built an impressive musical résumé. He was a member of influential country-rock groups, including the Flying Burrito Brothers and Dillard & Clark, two acts that helped pave the way for the genre's rise in the late 1960s and early 1970s.
Leadon's musical fingerprints can be heard throughout the band's earliest work. He contributed to the Eagles' self-titled debut album, which included hits like "Take It Easy" and "Witchy Woman," and played a major role on follow-up albums including Desperado, On the Border and One of These Nights.
Although Leadon left the band in 1975 after four albums, his impact on the Eagles' foundation remained clear. He was replaced by guitarist Joe Walsh, helping usher in a harder-edged sound as the group moved toward the massive success of albums like Hotel California.
