"
One of These Nights" is a song written by
Don Henley and
Glenn Frey and recorded by the American rock band the
Eagles. The title track from their
One of These Nights album, the song became their second single to top the
Billboard Hot 100 chart after "
Best of My Love" and also helped propel the album to number one. The single version was shortened from the album version of the song, removing most of the song's intro and most of its fade-out, as well. Henley is lead vocalist on the verses, while
Randy Meisner sings high harmony (not lead) on the refrain. It also features a guitar solo from
Don Felder "composed of blues-based licks and sustained string bends using an unusually meaty distortion tone."
