James Dean (song) - 1 reference result
"James Dean" is a song written by Don Henley, Glenn Frey, Jackson Browne, and J.D. Souther, and recorded by the American rock band Eagles for their 1974 album On the Border. It was the second single released from this album.
The song is about American actor and cultural icon James Dean (1931-1955). He starred in such films as Rebel Without a Cause, Giant and East of Eden before his tragic death in 1955. The lyrics, "too fast to live, too young to die" reflect his mischievous and dangerous lifestyle.
The B-side "Good Day in Hell" is notable for being the first Eagles track recorded with Don Felder, who joined the band midway through the sessions for the album.
