http://www.sfgate.com/entertainment/article/Arizona-city-made-famous-by-Eagles-song-6770970.phpBut it still had one thing going for it: Everybody wanted to stand on a corner in the small city after hearing Glenn Frey and the Eagles make it sound so cool in "Take It Easy."
Locals capitalized on the lyrics with an annual festival and park featuring a statue and mural commemorating the 1972 song....
Winslow residents staged a memorial service Tuesday night that featured Eagles songs and dancing in the park near the statue.

Celebrate whatever you want, Winslow. But don't forget about Jackson.

And you are completely wrong about the Eagles origin, watch "The History of the Eagles" for the story.
The were back up musicians who formed their own band. Not a Supergroup by anyone's definition.
