Biography
Los Angeles, United States (1966 – present)
Browne was born in Heidelberg, Germany (his father was an American serviceman stationed in Germany), but moved to the Highland Park district of Los Angeles, California at an early age and began singing folk music locally. In 1966, his career began by joining The Nitty Gritty Dirt Band.
A precociously-talented songwriter, Browne signed a publishing contract with Nina Music, and his songs have been performed by Tom Rush, the Eagles, Nico, Linda Ronstadt, the Byrds and Steve Noonan, among others.
After moving to Greenwich Village, New York, Browne worked, for a brief period, in Tim Buckley’s back-up band and on Nico’s Chelsea Girl. This album includes two of Jackson’s songs and the pair were reputedly lovers for awhile. After leaving New York City, Browne formed a folk band with Ned Doheny and Jack Wilce.
In 1971, Browne signed with Asylum Records and released Jackson Browne (1972), which included “Doctor My Eyes”, a major hit and later coverec by the Jackson Five . He didn’t sustain pop success, though, and his next album, For Everyman (1973), while considered of high quality, was a commercial failure.
Late for the Sky (1974) established a significant audience for Browne, and fans and critics often consider this Browne’s best album.

I don't know what this guy eats or drinks, but he's barely aged a day since the early 70's. He even has the same haircut he did back then.

Even if he never released another song, "Running on Empty" would still be a timeless classic making him a pure legend. In reality, he's done so much great things.
