JD is such a classic! Talented songwriter. This song makes me wish I could go back to the early 70's for one Friday night and hang out at the Troubadour bar - what a cool time that must have been.
The '70's produced the most fantastic singer-songwriters ever. Souther, Jackson Browne, James Taylor, John Denver, Frey/Henley, Harry Nielsson, Bernie Leadon, too many to name. I was blessed to have been young in that era. Did Linda Ronstadt write her own songs? I think a lot of them. Such talent and beautiful songs. Loved the California music of that day
You might be surprised how many songs Warren Zevon wrote for people like Linda Ronstadt. Like Prince and Souther, he had such an overflow of brilliance, there was plenty to go around.
Great version of a great song. I had never heard of this one until about a month ago when I found it while looking for the Eagles version To answer Rick Sanchez, I've never heard of the Eagles performing this live especially since they got back together in the 90's. They might have played it for "The Long Run" tour. I always thought it was a great song to say goodbye with, being the last song, second side of their apparently last album. Across the 70's they had gone from country rock to urban rock with flavors in between but they went back to their roots with this one. I always liked this song. It surprises me when other Eagles fans don't know the lyrics or even recall it vaguely.
The unofficial 6th member of the Eagles!!! 😀 last song off "The Long Run" album dubbed The Long one because it was taking a long time to record...The band's darkest period throughout. This song is beautiful...RIP Glenn Frey...Thank you my friend for the memories...(Dan Tanas and the Troubadour)...
Just rediscovered J.D. a couple of weeks ago and listen to his "You're Only Lonely" CD constantly! Have all his available CDs I think and he is one performer who still sounds great!
@jt08rules Certainly agree with your comment, J.D. Souther is about the music, the Eagles traded in their blue jeans for Armani suits, you'd think they'd had made enough money by now,banning their music here because of copyright,whats all that about,? have definately forgotten where they came from and what they were about.Don Felder,and Bernie Leadon arnt missing anything,!
@glenn1411 I have the four CDs I was able to find by JD Souther: You're Only Lonely, Black Rose, Home by Dawn and his latest "If The World Was You". Have listened to them all several times but the "You're Only Lonely" CD remains my favorite at this point in time. I love the harmony of Phil Everly with JD on "White Rhythm and Blues" . The duet with James Taylor (who I remember as "Sweet Baby James" so you can tell I am an old lady!) Gotta love youtube for so many great songs for us all!
@justpeachy57 Buy his early seventies album BLACK ROSE its one of the BEST ones,,,you might just have discoverd J.D. as a solo artist but you will have heard many of the great songs he composed,he co-wrote lots of Eagles Songs, and had some memorable duets with people like Linda Ronstadt,and Karla Bonoff a superb performer and Singer.
Nice...why can't I find an Eagles version???. What is this about money??? Ok if it its fuck you all...I know this song an I'll steal it forever fuckers...You don't want to share one of the best songs you've ever written???...Okay...Love you my friend..but I'd buy but I'd share as well...

I was in California at that time - I don't think Linda wrote her songs. J.D. wrote some, I know.

Karla Bonoff wrote many of Linda's songs. :)

One of my favorite singer-songwriters. Thanks for posting this!

Thanks. I didn't know that, but I still admire him as a great country-rock artist. He wrote "How Long" for the Eagles, their last hit song.
It was co-written by Don Henley, Glen Frey, Joe Walsh, and J.D Souther. They collaborated on some awesome songs back in the day!
Going to see him in Dallas this week...so excited. His songs touch the heart. Great songwriter.
RIP JD 🙏❤️

Excellent. JD sounds great and he is a quality songwriter
This song had to be written for Thomas and me. This is the first time I've heard it, but I can't help but dedicate to Thomas wherever you are.

Sir you are one of those heroes that make me feel so happy everyday... thanks for being you...God i feel so happy .....thanks
Unsung hero..; Yes, he is, J. D. Souther.
あまりに急な話で、心の整理がつかず、悲しませてももらえないのが辛い
Too bad the sax part wasn't there in the end...that was the icing on the cake.

Old but good,,,, one of the members of the EAGLES *** Don Henley and he were a great part of this group !
So awesome!
Beautiful. Wow.

God was J.D. eever so good, always in the back, never really recognized. I think he just wanted it that way.................
It is autumn in Seoul, 2019.

@justpeachy57
Since you're a fan (like me), wondered whether you knew the Souther, Hillman, Furay Band material. I have the 2 CD's and could share.
