Don Henley

Don Henley was born July 22nd, 1947 in Gilmer, Texas.  Out of all of the Eagles, Don Henley had the most successful solo career. After the group broke up, Henley released his first solo album, I Can’t Stand Still. Although it wasn’t as successful as an Eagles record, the album performed respectably, launching the number three single “Dirty Laundry” and going gold. Building The Perfect Beast followed two years later and established Henley as a solo star in his own right. Featuring the Top Ten hits “Boys of Summer” and “All She Wants to Do Is Dance,” as well as the Top 40 singles “Not Enough Love in the World” and “Sunset Grill,” the album sold over two million copies and stayed on the charts for over a year. Henley’s third album, 1989’s The End of The Innocence, was his most ambitious record yet, as well as his most commercially successful.  What year did the Eagles break up?

A)  1980

B)  1981

C) 1982
