When you look back at the many songs written and performed by the Eagles, “One of These Nights” is one of my favorites. Released in 1975, it was their fourth album produced in the studio and was the album responsible for making them into superstars at the international level. It was also the first album to hit number one – the first of four consecutive number one albums.
“One of These Nights,” the title track, was the first single released from the album and it hit number one on the charts. It’s also the Eagles song that Frey has said is his favorite. The second song from the album that was released as a single was “Lying Eyes.” I scooted up to number two on the music charts and was a Grammy winner.
The final single that was released was “Take It to the Limit,” written by Fray, Henley, and also Meisner, with Meisner singing lead vocals. The song made it to number four on the charts and was certified gold – the first Eagles single to be designated as such. The Eagles supported the album with an extensive worldwide tour and the album was nominated for an Album of the Year Grammy award, although it did not win.
The Eagles were prolific songwriters and you can see a list of songs by the Eagles at SongLists.net. In fact, the Eagles songs list contains over 90 songs and and\or performed by this band.
