Best of My Love (Eagles song)
"Best of My Love" is a song written by Don Henley, Glenn Frey, and J.D. Souther. It was originally recorded by the Eagles (with Henley singing lead vocals), and included on their 1974 album ''On the Border''. The band's first ''Billboard'' Hot 100 number 1 single in March 1975, the song also topped the easy listening (adult contemporary) chart for one week a month earlier. ''Billboard'' ranked it as the number 12 song for 1975.〔Billboard Year-End Hot 100 singles of 1975〕
==Background==
In 2009 J.D. Souther would recall of "Best of My Love": "Glenn found the tune; the tune I think came from a Fred Neil 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."〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Acoustic Strom Interviews - J.D. Souther )〕 Musically, Glenn Frey recalled: "I was playing acoustic guitar one afternoon in Laurel Canyon, and I was trying to figure out a tuning that Joni Mitchell 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.'"〔http://www.glennfreyonline.com/eagles/verybest/linernotes.htm〕 The Eagles had begun working on ''On the Border'' at Olympic Studios in London with producer Glyn Johns who had helmed their ''Eagles'' debut album and the follow-up ''Desperado'' album. Despite the success of their debut album the Eagles had taken umbrage at Johns' predilection for country rock toning down their own rockabilly aspirations: the Eagles' dissatisfaction with Johns was reinforced by the similarly honed ''Desperado'' album which was a comparative failure, and after six weeks in London - which yielded "Best of My Love" and one other usable track: "You Never Cry Like a Lover" - the Eagles discontinued working with Johns spending eight weeks touring in Europe and the USA and then completing the recording of ''On the Border'' at the Record Plant in their hometown of Los Angeles with Bill Szymczyk producing.
The release of the Eagles' "Best of My Love" as a single has been attributed to the track's airplay at WKMI-AM in Kalamazoo MI, where radio dj Jim Higgs - also station music & program director - began playing the track off its parent album ''On the Border'' soon after that album's release in the spring of 1974, favoring "Best of My Love" over the official single releases "Already Gone" and "James Dean". Advised by Higgs of the strong positive response of WKMI's listeners to "Best of My Love", Asylum Records gave the track a limited single release of 1000 copies available only in the Kalamazoo area, with reaction to this test-release securing the full release of "Best of My Love" as a single on November 5, 1974.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Kalamazoo DJ to meet the Eagles almost 4 decades after helping band get #1 hit )〕
