The man has brought so much joy to the world that the world smiled back. Jack Tempchin has been selected into the Songwriters Hall of Fame!

"I'm flabbergasted," said the lifelong San Diego resident, who is best known for writing the Eagles' hit "Peaceful, Easy, Feeling" and co-writing another Eagles' classic, "Already Gone". "I thought it was a billion to one. I had no idea I had a chance to win, after seeing all the people who are in the Hall of Fame and the people who were nominated just for this year. I can't believe it! For one thing, I'm going to get to meet these people (at the induction ceremony) and that will be fantastic. I'm absolutely thrilled just being on the same list as them"
