Eagles – One of These Nights (Live 1977)

Written by Glenn Frey and Don Henley, this song was inspired by the soul music Frey was listening to when he started writing it on the piano. Artists like B.B. King and Al Green were a big influence on many songs on the album.

Billboard praised the “strong harmonies” and said that “One of These Nights” was similar to the Eagles’ earlier song “Witchy Woman” at times. Cash Box said it had “a fresh, relaxed sound which should catapult the group to the top.” Ultimate Classic Rock critic Sterling Whitaker rated it as the Eagles 6th most underrated song, praising Don Felder’s “blazing” electric guitar solo.
