Life and career

Daniel Grayling "Dan" Fogelberg (August 13, 1951 – December 16, 2007) was an American musician, songwriter, composer, and multi-instrumentalist whose music was inspired by sources as diverse as folk, pop, rock, classical, jazz, and bluegrass. He is best known for his early 1980s hits, including "Longer" (1980), "Leader of the Band" (1981), and "Same Old Lang Syne" (1981).

Fogelberg's second effort was much more successful – the 1974 Joe Walsh-produced album ‘Souvenirs’. The song "Part of the Plan" became Fogelberg's first hit. After Souvenirs, he released a string of gold and platinum albums, including ‘Captured Angel’ (1975) and ‘Nether Lands’ (1977). His 1978 ‘Twin Sons of Different Mothers’ was the first of two collaborations with jazz flautist Tim Weisberg, which found commercial success with songs such as "The Power of Gold". ‘Phoenix’, from 1979, reached the Top 10, with "Longer" becoming a #2 pop hit (and wedding standard) in 1980. The track peaked at #59 on the UK Singles Chart – his sole entry on that chart.The album reached #42 on the UK Albums Chart, likewise his only entry there. It was followed by a Top 20 hit "Heart Hotels".

‘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 and the River. A 1982 greatest hits album contained two new songs, both of which were released as singles: "Missing You" and "Make Love Stay." In 1984, he released the album ‘Windows and Walls’, containing the singles "The Language of Love" and "Believe in Me."

Fogelberg released ‘High Country Snows’ in 1985. Recorded in Nashville, it showcased his and some of the industry's best talent in bluegrass. Vince Gill, Ricky Skaggs, Doc Watson, Jerry Douglas, David Grisman, Chris Hillman, and Herb Pedersen contributed to the record. In a world he defined as "life in the fast lane," Fogelberg described the music as "life in the off-ramp." In late 1985, he switched gears and took to the road with a group of musician friends, including Joe Vitale and Rick Rosas, playing blues in small clubs throughout Colorado as Frankie and the Aliens, covering songs by Cream and Muddy Waters, among others. 1987 heralded a return to rock with ‘Exiles’, an album that contained "What You're Doing," a throwback to the old Stax Records sound made famous in Memphis during the 1960s. While touring in New England early in 1988, he came across an issue of Nine-O-One Network Magazine which was published in Memphis, and he called the publisher, James L. Dickinson, aka James Luther Dickinson, Jim Dickinson, producer, keyboardist for Rolling Stones, et al., and an interview resulted that landed him on the cover of the April 1988 issue. Known for his many relationship songs, he confessed that he hadn't had a lot of relationships and wrote his songs based on his observations of other people's relationships. ‘The Wild Places’, an album whose theme was the preservation of nature, was released in 1990 followed by a tour. His live "Greetings From The West" album was released in 1991.

‘River of Souls’, released in 1993, was Fogelberg's last studio album for Sony Records. In 1997, the box set Portrait encompassed his career with four discs, each highlighting a different facet of his music: "Ballads," "Rock and Roll," "Tales and Travels," and "Hits." In 1999, he released a Christmas album, ‘The First Christmas Morning’, and in 2003, ‘Full Circle’ showcased a return to the folk-influenced 1970s soft rock style of music.

Collection ‘The Essential Dan Fogelberg’ was released in June 2003.

In May 2004, Fogelberg was diagnosed with advanced prostate cancer.After undergoing therapy, he achieved a partial remission. On August 13, 2005, his 54th birthday, he announced the success of his cancer treatments. He said that he had no immediate plans to return to making music but was keeping his options open. However, his cancer returned, and on December 16, 2007, Fogelberg died at the age of 56 at his home in Deer Isle, Maine.

Album ’Collections’ was released in March 2007.

Album ‘Playlist: The Very Best Of Dan Fogelberg’ and ‘Love In Time’ was released in 2009.

A group of Fogelberg fans raised funds to create a permanent memorial. The memorial garden, placed in Riverfront Park, was dedicated in a ceremony on August 28, 2010.
