Trivia: What rock band started out as Linda Ronstadt’s backing band?
Journey
The Eagles
Heart
Fleetwood Mac
The correct answer is The Eagles
So why is this answer correct? : One of the best-selling rock bands of all time might never have formed if not for the efforts of singer Linda Ronstadt, who brought Don Henley and Glenn Frey together to play in her band in 1971, shortly before the duo formed the Eagles. Henley and Frey quickly connected through their musical talents. The first song they co-wrote was “Desperado,” the title track to their 1973 sophomore album. The track became a hit and a rock classic when Ronstadt (a music legend in her own right) when she recorded her cover that same year.
