Actually... Dan Fogelberg did NOT define the sound
of the 70’s. One of the reasons he was so popular
was because his music was ... well, it was MUSICAL.
I don’t even think DF ever used a back beat, an open
high hat or a synthesizers. With me, he ranks up there
in the top three along with Kenny Rankin and ... er...
yes, Barry Manilow.

I only repeat what the news tells me, Jo.

Actually, I saw Dan in concert in 2003 on the advice of a good friend, and while I knew of his early 'soft rock' work, some of the things he played at that concert was pure Rock n Rool .. which yes, included a 'back-beat'!

Dan was playing some blues riffs on electric guitar which were straight out of the Eric Clapton encylopedia of lead guitar, and playing them well too! I was mightily impressed, being a straightforward Rock n Rool'er myself :)

Cheers,

Dan had the sound to endear him to the hearts of millions of fans!

Dan could sound wonderful with nothing more than his guitar or his piano and his beautiful voice...AND his wonderful words!

Dan will always be #1 with me and I’m sure I am not alone in this!

It breaks my heart to know there will be no more music from this wonderful man...no more beautiful songs.

I will always cherish what he HAS given to us.
