Sammy Hagar, From Colton, California, was popular in the early- mid 1980's for fast paced, guitar-driven, hard rock with a masculine, lets-go-party attitude, joined the band Van Halen as lead vocalist after David Lee Roth's departure from the group. (Before joining Van Halen he sang lead vocals in Ronnie Montrose's classic rock band Montrose, and had some single output, notably his release, "I Can't Drive 55".) As much as it was public surprise when Hagar joined the band, so it was when he left.

Eagles Fly -- Sammy Hagar
This song was originally on the album "I Never Said Goodbye", but this is the version he does live on an acoustic guitar. You can hear this version on the Jump Live single, the Van Halen: Right Here, Right Now video, or the Balance World Tour show (if you saw it on Pay-Per-View).

GC Sunday morning, nine A.M. I saw fire in the sky I felt my heart pound in my chest I heard an eagle cry
