Editor's note

Dan Fogelberg, the soft rock storyteller from Peoria.

His songs like 'Same Old Lang Syne' and 'Part Of The Plan' defined a radio era.

For a quick sense of him, listen to 'Part Of The Plan' and 'Same Old Lang Syne.' They're the ones you probably half-remember from the car radio.

Fogelberg wrote songs that felt like quiet conversations, often about relationships and reflection. 'Part Of The Plan' became a soft rock staple, and 'Same Old Lang Syne' turned a chance encounter into a holiday radio fixture. He worked with players like Joe Walsh and Randy Meisner, but kept the focus on straightforward, personal storytelling.

He started with 'Home Free' in 1972, then found his voice on albums like 'Souvenirs' and 'The Innocent Age.' Through the 70s and 80s, he recorded steadily, from 'Captured Angel' to 'Nether Lands,' before returning with 'Full Circle' in 2006.
