45 years ago, the Eagles released “Take It Easy” their very first single. Co-written by Glenn Frey and produced by Glyn Johns, features Glenn Frey on lead vocals, with both Randy Meisner and Don Henley providing harmonies for the second verse. Bernie Leadon offers up harmony vocals as well, but his most notable contributions to the song are with his lead guitar and double-time banjo playing. It all added up to a hit for the band, with the song climbing all the way to #12 on the Billboard Hot 100

Last month, an Eagles album from the 1970s — "Their Greatest Hits (1971–1975)" — was certified quadruple diamond, the first to sell more than 40 million copies, cementing its place as the best-selling album of all time. "'Greatest Hits' is kind of a misnomer,” the band's co-founder, Don Henley, told Tracy Smith. “It should just be called their best songs because every song on that album was not a great hit.” https://cbsn.ws/4r7mhfy | CBS Sunday Morning
