I gave it a thumbs up because it was a good performance and I respect that. But it doesn't change my attitude towards him as a person. I still think he comes across as one of the biggest jerks in the music business.
Glenn Frye once remarked when asked during the ladder portion of the Eagles run through the 70s why he doesn't sing more and he replied very matter of fact, because we have Don Henley...
And when Felder said he wanted to sing Hotel California that he co-wrote, Henley reportedly said, “ you don’t hear me asking to play lead on Life in the Fast Lane.” Important to stay in your lane.
@@timfranczyk3293 cowrote? Felder pretty much wrote a large majority of it. Henley/Frey were always screwing him over, hence him not wanting to put up with their bullshit and not partaking in most of the reunion tours.
@@timfranczyk3293and then when he asked to sing Victim Of Love and even had recorded the vocals. Henley went and recorded over his vocal. Mind you Felder wrote the song. The amount of disrespect to the best member of the eagles is insane
Don Henley said he heard Charles Brown singing this as a kid in Texas when they boosted the radio tower at night. When the Eagles stalled doing the Long Run album, they cut this single in 1978
2024 and Don still does the best performance of this song every time!! Great sound engineers in Howard's studio as well!! Cheers and Merry Christmas!!!
I love Don Henley! He does an amazing job with this song and his rendition is so close to Charles Brown but is totally his at the same time. He is my favorite of the band Eagles and I love his solo songs as well. “Please Come Home for Christmas” is my favorite secular Christmas song and Mr. Henley nails it. ❤️
ABSOLUTELY! My thinking as well, but the chords are SO different. I play at guitar, and this one is easy compared to "Oh, Darlin' " But still, I am always struck by this was done BEFORE the other (1960 vs 1969). Still, ya gotta wonder...the productions are similar, but this is a standard blues format even though the chords are more sophisticated than the 1-4-5 straight blues. Both songs are classics, IMO, and I love them both!
Every song he sings comes from the heart.
100 %
You mean from the heart of the matter

One of their best recordings ever!!....but I still can't help hearing 'Oh Darlin' every time I hear it!!;-)
ABSOLUTELY! My thinking as well, but the chords are SO different.
