“I Wish You Peace” was written by Bernie Leadon and his then-girlfriend Patti Davis, daughter of Republican then- Governor of California Ronald Reagan. The CD releases of radio series transmitted in 20 used another version arranged by Philip Pope, and recorded by a tribute band The Illegal Eagles, and the 2005 film used a version by Joby Talbot. The TV adaptation of the series, and also an additional version released on LP record, used an arrangement by Tim Souster. The original version from One of These Nights was used for all original transmissions of all five radio series, and a further version was used for the sixth. "Journey of the Sorcerer" was used subsequently for the television series in 1981 (albeit re-recorded), the sequel radio series produced by Above the Title Productions for the BBC in 20, and (re-recorded once again) for the film produced by Disney/ Touchstone in 2005. Adams said he had wanted something that sounded "sci-fi" while at the same time suggestive of a traveller, so this banjo-based instrumental struck him as ideal. " Journey of the Sorcerer" was used as the theme music for Douglas Adams' The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy radio series produced by the BBC in 19. " One of These Nights", " Lyin' Eyes", and " Take It to the Limit" were released as singles. Of the nine Eagles songs to feature Randy Meisner singing solo, this is the only song of his to be released as a single. 'You sing this, you sing it better,' that kind of thing." Randy Meisner sings lead on two songs, one of which, " Take it to the Limit", a composition he co-wrote with Frey and Henley, was released as the third single from the album. If I began to do more than he did, it was because if someone had a strong suit he would play that card. Henley later said: " was generous in that respect. Leadon would leave the band in late 1975, after the album was released.įrey also began to sing less as a lead singer starting with this album, singing solo lead on only one song ("Lyin' Eyes") and sharing lead vocals with Henley on another ("After the Thrill Is Gone"). He was unhappy with the more rock direction of the band that Frey preferred, at one time walking out of a meeting to discuss which take to use after the recording of a rock track. He wrote three of the nine songs, none of which was released as a single. However, Leadon was becoming increasingly unhappy during the making of the album. He added: "We thought, "Well, how can we write something with that flavor, with that kind of beat, and still have the dangerous guitars?” We wanted to capture the spirit of the times." įrey said that " One of These Nights was the most fluid and 'painless' album ever made", and thought that the quality of the songs he wrote with Henley had improved dramatically. In an interview with Cameron Crowe, Henley joked that it was their "satanic country-rock period" because "it was a dark time, both politically and musically" in America, referring to the turmoil in Washington and disco music starting to take off. Many of the songs were written while Frey and Henley were sharing a house in Beverly Hills, including " One of These Nights", " Lyin' Eyes", " Take It to the Limit" and "After the Thrill Is Gone". Glenn Frey and Don Henley wrote four of the nine songs by themselves, and they also collaborated with other members of the band on three other songs. The Eagles began working on their fourth album in late 1974. ![]() They went on a worldwide tour to promote the album. The album was the band's commercial breakthrough, transforming them into international superstars. The seventh track, "Visions", is the only Eagles song on which lead guitarist Don Felder sang the lead vocals, despite his desire to write and sing more songs. Leadon left the band after the One of These Nights tour due to his dissatisfaction with their shift from country towards a more mainstream rock sound, and was replaced by Joe Walsh. One of These Nights is the last Eagles album to feature the original lineup of Randy Meisner, Glenn Frey, Don Henley, and Bernie Leadon (along with then-new member Don Felder). A single from the album, "Lyin' Eyes", was also nominated for Record of the Year, and won the Eagles' first Grammy for Best Pop Performance by a Duo or Group with Vocals. The album sold four million copies and was nominated for Grammy Album of the Year. ![]() Its title song is the group's second number one single on the Billboard Hot 100. In July that year, the record became the Eagles' first number one album on Billboard 's album chart, yielding three Top 10 singles: " One of These Nights", " Lyin' Eyes" and " Take It to the Limit". One of These Nights is the fourth studio album by American rock band the Eagles, released on June 10, 1975.
