"Leader of the Band" is a song written by Dan Fogelberg from his 1981 album ''The Innocent Age''. The song was written as a tribute to his father, Lawrence Fogelberg, a musician and the leader of a band, who was still alive at the time the song was released.〔 〕 Lawrence died in August 1982. Released as a single at the end of 1981, the tribute peaked at number 9 on the ''Billboard'' Hot 100 chart〔Whitburn, Joel (1996)〕 in March 1982.〔http://books.google.com/books?id=SCQEAAAAMBAJ&printsec=frontcover&lr=#v=onepage&q&f=false ''The Billboard Book of Top 40 Hits'', 6th Edition (Billboard Publications)〕 It became Fogelberg's second #1 song on the ''Billboard'' Adult Contemporary chart, following his 1980 hit "Longer".〔Hyatt, Wesley (1999).
