He was the voice and multi-instrumentalist behind songs like "Leader of the Band," "The Power of Gold" and "Same Old Lang Syne." His career in folk and soft rock music, which channeled a likeliness to Jackson Browne and James Taylor, included the classic 1977 album Nether Lands ("Dancing Shoes," "Phoenix," and "Longer".) But on Sunday, singer/songwriter Dan Fogelberg lost his battle with prosta...

It took me over 20 years to decide how I felt about 1970's soft rock.It was the natural environment for a child born in 1976, and it's forever tied to drives through the fading central New Jersey countryside, sunsets bleeding in to the orange vinyl seats of a 1974 Volvo 164.But it was also tied to the limited, agoraphobic record collection. It was a denial of the true (emotional) violence and p...

I was cruising through SongFacts, when I saw a Music News item that stopped me cold. Dan Fogelberg succumbed to Cancer at age 56. He's not a cool Indie sort, or a great musical pioneer, but I'll miss him. It's time to play old Dan's records, so I'll put on this dedication to his father in song.

I've never been a big Fogelberg fan. His music, after falling off of the pop charts seemed to wiggle into elevator music and that annoying music you get when you are on hold forever because you need to talk to customer service.... His hits went on to become huge in MUZAK playlists, but not my playlists. Snooze snooze snooze I say.I moved to Peoria a couple of years ago and heard he was from he...
