UMP sign Glenn Frey to exclusive publishing deal

Universal Music Publishing Group has signed six-time Grammy winner, Rock and Roll Hall of Fame member and Songwriter Hall of Fame inductee Glenn Frey to an exclusive, worldwide publishing agreement (excluding US).

As one of the founding members and main songwriters of the Eagles, Glenn Frey’s songwriting proved essential to the signature sound that won the Eagles six Grammys and made them the best-selling band of the 1970's.

Before disbanding in 1980, they found consistent success with each album they released throughout the decade, including 'Eagles' (1972), 'Desperado' (1973), 'On the Border' (1974), 'One of These Nights' (1975), 'Hotel California' (1976), and 'The Long Run' (1979). Frey penned some of their  most celebrated songs, including classics like ‘Desperado’, ‘Tequila Sunrise’, ‘Best of My Love’, ‘One of These Nights’, ‘Lyin’ Eyes’, ‘Take It to the Limit’, ‘Hotel California’ and ‘Life in the Fast Lane’.

After the Eagles’ unparalleled achievements throughout the 1970s, Frey went on to enjoy a fruitful solo career in the 1980s and beyond, releasing a string of well-received albums and scoring hits with his originals ‘You Belong to the City’ and ‘Smuggler’s Blues’.  Frey and the rest of the Eagles later regrouped and released Long Road Out of Eden in 2007, which topped the charts in several countries around the world.
