This is another one of my favorite Eagles songs! <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7VDuTGJ_ZQI" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Eagles - The Best of My Love (Live 1977) (Official Video) [4K]</a> "Best of My Love" is a <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Song" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);">song</a> written by <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Don_Henley" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);">Don Henley</a>, <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glenn_Frey" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);">Glenn Frey</a>, and <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/JD_Souther" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);">JD Souther</a>. It was originally recorded by the <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eagles_(band)" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);">Eagles</a> (with Henley singing lead vocals), and included on their 1974 album <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/On_the_Border" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" style="color: rgb(32, 33, 34);">On the Border</a>. Billboard ranked it as the number 12 song for 1975." <img src="https://th.bing.com/th/id/R.d6ee88a65aff35dadc27809e5a21c00b?rik=k1agO1UqNpN6FA&riu=http%3a%2f%2fwww.eaglesonlinecentral.com%2fimages%2feaglesLRTBJapan02.jpg&ehk=ghmHDvfvGGvHXAYyxrgwtlVJdGbM%2f4K2ys6mHS95X3w%3d&risl=&pid=ImgRaw&r=0" alt="Eagles Photos - 1978-1980"> "In 2009, JD Souther said of the writing of "Best of My Love": "Glenn found the tune; the tune I think came from a <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fred_Neil" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);">Fred Neil</a> record... We were working on that album (On the Border) and came to London. The three of us were writing it and were on deadline to get it finished. I don't know where we got the inspiration." <img src="https://www.eaglesonlinecentral.com/images/eagleschillin77.jpg" alt="Eagles - 1976-1977"> "Glenn Frey recalled: "I was playing acoustic guitar one afternoon in <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Laurel_Canyon,_Los_Angeles" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);">Laurel Canyon</a>, and I was trying to figure out a tuning that <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joni_Mitchell" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);">Joni Mitchell</a> had shown me a couple of days earlier. I got lost and ended up with the guitar tuning for what would later turn out to be 'The Best of My Love." According to Henley, most of the lyrics were written while in a booth in <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dan_Tana" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);">Dan Tana</a>'s Restaurant close to the <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Troubadour_(West_Hollywood,_California)" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);">Troubadour</a>." "The lyrics were inspired in part by Henley's break up with his then-girlfriend Suzannah Martin."<img src="https://singsnap-cdn.nyc3.digitaloceanspaces.com/message-board/threads/VTHN/145814fc1a_RDDH_media.gif">JOIN US IN THE: ROCKER & METALHEAD HAVEN CLUB TODAY!!<a href="https://www.singsnap.com/#/d/message-board/topics/162989" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" style="color: rgb(0, 102, 204);"><img src="https://singsnap-cdn.nyc3.digitaloceanspaces.com/message-board/threads/LANK/25415a44d8_71QD_media.gif"></a>Click on the Banner to Enter the Club and post your Rock Songs Today!!
