Browne was born in Heidelberg, Germany shortly after World War II, because his father was stationed there, working on “Stars and Stripes.” He had begun singing folk songs at local venues by the time he was a teenager and went on to work as a songwriter for other artists after graduating high school. He didn’t release his own album until six years later, but he hit the top ten chart almost immediately with “Doctor My Eyes.” Throughout his career, he’s sold over eighteen million albums and has been called one of the greatest songwriters of all time.
