You came along and changed my life Glenn!!
I agree that they all have great voices. However, as this thread is about Glenn's voice here are a couple more of my favourite moments:
I'm Getting Old Before My Time - 'my bones just creak'. This should be the opposite of sexy but it's about the sexiest piece of singing I can think of.
I Wanna Be Around - 'like you, LIKE YOU, broke mine'! Sigh.
Here's To Life - all of it but especially 'to dreamers & their dreams' & 'every joy it brings'.
Route 66 - the casual, cool way he sings the title. It's more intense live but wow, it works.
Same Girl - all of it, especially 'a few more nights on the street, that's all'.
I'm glad I am not the only one. Live, it was just beyond moving.
From the Eagles I should mention the entire Grammy winning performances of Lyin' Eyes & Heartache Tonight.
There are many others. As I said I could write about this all day. The man has been my favourite singer since 1977 & I can never do him sufficient justice.
Great choices, FP! I agree with all of them, esp "Same Girl" & the lines in "Here's To Life"!
I particularly like the way he gets into the "Beat around the bushes" verse of Heartache Tonight. Also can't forget "it's a gir,l my Lord, in a flatbed Ford slowin' down to take a look at me".
I can see I have to delve deeper into the Eagles/Frey catalog, seeing all these lists.
Just have to add I love his voice and phrasing on "Ol' 55." "The cars are all passing me, the trucks are all flashing me; I'm headed home from your place"--just the way he splits the syllables of "place"--the emotion as it leads into the chorus. The same when "...pulled away slowly, feeling so ho-ly"--just his phrasing and breathing in "slowly" and "holy"--it's strong, but not forced or two much. And even in the harmony at the end, when he adds "Yes it is..." Nice emphasis.
He doesn't oversing it, knowing the power is in the song's structure and lyrics--just the perfect tone and slight melancholy in his voice.
I loved after hours off his new CD. The whole song is beautiful but this section makes me melt
When I see the quiet street
I always think of her
Not the way she is now
But the way that she was then
Sometimes you can't go back again
You know you have some delicious bugs here about on the Mississippi... Extra Protein thank you very much!!!!-Don Henley- At the St. Louis, MO concert June 2010.
You already know I'm going to completely agree with you on all of them, but especially this one!
The opening note of The Good Life, where he goes from vibrato to 'straight' is pretty incredible, too.
I think my favorite song to listen to purely for his voice with the Eagles is What Do I Do With My Heart. Maybe because to me it's the best of his voice and the best of Don's voice.
