DEF: Glenn Frey “The Heat Is On”

After the Eagles broke up, Detroit-born band member Glenn Frey went on to pursue a solo career that would lead him to seven Top 40 hits on Billboard‘s Hot 100 chart. The biggest of those hits were “The Heat Is On” and “You Belong To The City,” both of which peaked at number 2.

Exactly 30 years ago, “The Heat Is On,” which comes from the film Beverly Hills Cop, climbed into the number 2 spot for a one-week stay. Today, Glenn Frey’s “The Heat Is On” is the Daily Eighties Flashback.
