Eagles and Linda Ronstadt. Two of music’s biggest acts on the cusp of stardom. The rising stars were all in their mid-twenties when she said to a member of her backup band in 1971, “Hey, Glenn [Frey], you’ve got to meet my friend Bernie Leadon. You guys would probably like to play with each other,” she told Best Classic Bands’ editor Jeff Tamarkin in a 2013 interview. “[My producer] John Boylan was saying, ‘Hey, you’ve got to meet Randy Meisner. He’d be good to play in the band on bass.’ Then the minute that Glenn Frey and Don Henley were rooming together they started playing songs. I said, ‘Hey, those are good songs. Keep writing!’ We didn’t think these guys were going to be stars but I knew they were going to have a hit when I heard ‘Witchy Woman.’ I was living with J.D. Souther and they came over to our house to rehearse. We went out just to give them some space and went to the movies for a couple of hours and when we came back, they had worked out ‘Witchy Woman.’ It was a small room and they had been singing for hours in that room and tuning their voices into it and tuning their voices into each other. It was a four-part harmony song and it just exploded out of that room. I went, ‘Oh, my God, that’s a hit for sure.’
