Let's make this birthday one to remember.

78 years old (Born on July 19, 1947)

Happy Birthday, Bernie Leadon! From your soaring guitar riffs in "Take It Easy" to the timeless banjo picking on "Journey of the Sorcerer," you've always been our favorite Eagle who knew how to fly high without ruffling too many feathers. Your musical genius helped shape one of rock's greatest bands—proving once and for all that Eagles really do soar above the rest.

Here's hoping your birthday is filled with more harmony than a classic Eagles chorus and fewer hotel check-ins than Hotel California. Keep rocking, Bernie—we're still singing along decades later, grateful you never took it easy!
