    LOS ANGELES -

    John David 鈥淛D鈥 Souther, a prolific songwriter and musician who helped shape the country-rock sound that took root in Southern California in the 1970s with his collaborations with the Eagles and Linda Ronstadt, has died at the age of 78.

    Souther, who collaborated on some of the Eagles' biggest hits, such as 鈥淏est of My Love," 鈥淛ames Dean,鈥 "New Kid in Town," and 鈥淗eartache Tonight,鈥 died Tuesday at his home in New Mexico, according to an announcement on his website.

    He also collaborated with James Taylor, Bob Seger, Bonnie Raitt and many more, and also found success as a solo artist. He was about to start a tour with Karla Bonoff on Sept. 24 in Phoenix, now cancelled.

    When he was inducted into the Songwriters Hall of Fame in 2013, Souther was described as 鈥渁 principal architect of the Southern California sound and a major influence on a generation of songwriters.鈥

    Souther was born in Detroit and grew up in Amarillo, Texas. He moved to Los Angeles in the late 1960s, where he met Glenn Frey, a founding member and guitarist of the Eagles. The two began a longtime partnership, starting with a band called Longbranch Pennywhistle.

    鈥淥ur first year together will always seem like yesterday to me,鈥 Souther said in a statement after Frey died in 2016. 鈥淗is amazing capacity for the big joke and that brilliant groove that lived inside him are with me, even now, in this loss and sorrow. ... The music and the love are indestructible.鈥

    Souther described his start with Frey at The Troubadadour, the popular West Hollywood music club, as 鈥渢he best study in songwriting I can imagine.鈥

    鈥淪o many great songwriters came through 鈥 Laura Nyro, Kris Kristofferson, Randy Newman, Elton John, James Taylor, Tim Hardin, Carole King, Rick Nelson, Joni Mitchell, Neil Young, Waylon Jennings, Tim Buckley, Gordon Lightfoot, Taj Mahal and more,鈥 he said in a statement on his website. "It seems impossible now to imagine that much music in a year and a half or so, but that was my life and the Troubadour was our university.

    "It鈥檚 also where I met Linda Ronstadt and where Don Henley and Glenn Frey met to form this little country rock band called Eagles that would go on to make musical history,鈥 Souther wrote.

    On his own, Souther recorded his self-titled debut in 1972 before forming The Souther-Hillman-Furay Band with former Byrds member Chris Hillman and Poco鈥檚 Richie Furay. A second solo effort in 1976, Black Rose, included a duet with Ronstadt, his one-time girlfriend, 鈥淚f You Have Crying Eyes.鈥 Other duets he had recorded with her include 鈥淧risoner in Disguise,鈥 鈥淪ometimes You Can鈥檛 Win鈥 and 鈥淗earts Against the Wind,鈥 the latter featured in the 1980 film 鈥淯rban Cowboy.鈥

    His biggest hit as a solo artist was 鈥淵ou鈥檙e Only Lonely,鈥 from the 1979 album of the same name.

    Other songs he wrote include 鈥淩un Like a Thief,鈥 for Bonnie Raitt, and 鈥淔aithless Love鈥 and 鈥淲hite Rhythm and Blues" for Ronstadt. He collaborated with James Taylor on 鈥淗er Town Too."

    Among the artists he worked with as a singer were Don Henley, Christopher Cross, Dan Fogelberg and Roy Orbison.

    He appeared as an actor on television in 鈥渢hirtysomething,鈥 鈥淣ashville鈥 and 鈥淧urgatory鈥 and in the films 鈥淧ostcards from the Edge,鈥 鈥淢y Girl 2,鈥 and 鈥淒eadline.鈥
