I've always said Prince is one of the most under-rated guitarists of all time. George Harrison is the other.

Actually he co-wrote it with Glenn Frey.
Jackson co-wrote quite a few things with the Eagle in the early days. He also worked a lot with J.D. Souther, who co-wrote with the Eagles as well.

This year's class was a big nod to the under-rated singer/songwriters and musicians. ZZ Top also fits into that bill. So much is made of the beards, cars and girls, that we forget that Billy Gibbons can play a mean guitar.
