Randy Meisner made his singing debute in the band "Drivin' Dynamics" with a song 
called "You Send Me" at the age of 16 at home in Nebraska. A couple of years later 
he joined a group called "The Survivors", followed them to California where he 
eventually left and started playing with the country oriented group "Poco", famous 
for their live performances.

His work with "Poco" ended abruptly and he moved on, made some session work 
for other artists and played in the "Stone Canyon Band" with Rick Nelson. At this time 
he also started backing up Linda Ronstadt together with Bernie Leadon and songwriters 
Don Henley and Glenn Frey. Soon thereafter the four of them started their own band, 
"The Eagles" in 1972.

Randy's bass playing and high voice were important ingredients for the band so 
famous for its harmonies, and his songwriting contributions are considerable. Songs 
like "Take The Devil", "Tryin'" and "Take It To The Limit" are a few of his treasures.

In 1977 he decided to leave and returned home to Nebraska where he eventually went 
on with his carreer with the album "Bad Man" and he also had a few single hits with 
the songs "Deep Inside My Heart" and "Hearts On Fire".

Over the years he too played as a guest on other artisit's records. Dan Fogelberg, 
Richie Furay, Bob Welsh and Joe Walsh just to mention a few.

1989 Randy was reunited with "Poco" with whom he recorded an album called 
"Legacy". Ten
years later he played with his former bandmates from The Eagles 
at their induction to Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.

Lately he has been active and played with "World Classic Rockers".

Randy has one of Rock music's best voices. 

Let's hope it won't be long until we get to hear something new from him soon!
