Fogelberg foi um componente chave da idade de ouro do cantor confessional e compositor, juntando-se os gostos de James Taylor, Carole King, Jackson Browne e mais foco na transformação de música pop do interior após a explosão dos anos 60 do comentário social. Ele tinha começado como um roqueiro em bandas em torno de sua cidade natal de Peoria, Illinois, mas iniciou sua carreira solo, enquanto freqüentava a Universidade de Illinois.
