One of These Nights (Eagles song)
"One of These Nights" is a song by the American rock band Eagles, written by Don Henley and Glenn Frey. The title track from their 1975 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 on the refrain. The song features a guitar solo by Don Felder that is "composed of blues-based licks and sustained string bends using an unusually meaty distortion tone."[5]

Reception
Billboard praised the "strong harmonies" and said that "One of These Nights" was similar to the Eagles' earlier song "Witchy Woman" at times.[11] Cash Box said it had "a fresh, relaxed sound which should catapult the group to the top."[12] Ultimate Classic Rock critic Sterling Whitaker rated it as the Eagles 6th most underrated song, praising Don Felder's "blazing" electric guitar solo.[13]
