"Part Of Me, Part Of You" by Glenn Frey (RIP)

2016 is shaping up to be the year the music died. Yet another legend in the rock world passed away today: Glenn Frey. Frey was a founding member of The Eagles, but also had a very successful solo career throughout the 80s following the band's break up.

Frey's first solo hit was "I Found Somebody", which reached #31 in 1982. Bigger hits like "The Heat Is On" (#2), "Smuggler's Blues" (#12), and "You Belong To The City" (#2) would follow, the latter two being featured on the hit TV show, Miami Vice.

Frey's solo career was running out of steam by the 90s, but I always thought one of his best songs was "Part Of Me, Part Of You", which surprisingly only reached #55 in 1991. This song, which sounds most like an Eagles tune, was featured in the movie, Thelma & Louise.
