On this day May 28, 1982, Glenn Frey released his debut solo album No Fun Aloud, launching his career outside of the Eagles with a smooth mix of rock, pop, and soul influenced tracks. The album showcased Frey’s laid back vocal style and songwriting skills that had already earned him fame as a founding member of one of the most successful bands of the 1970s.
No Fun Aloud featured radio hits like The One You Love and I Found Somebody, and it reached number 32 on the Billboard charts. The album’s polished production and catchy melodies helped Glenn Frey establish himself as a solid solo artist during the early 80s.
