The Eagles named their 1975 album One of These Nights after this song, and it's the sound of the band slinking over to the after-hours side of town. Don Henley and Glenn Frey wrote it, and Henley sings the verses from behind his drum kit with a slow-burning ache, while Randy Meisner's high harmony soars over the refrain and his bass locks into a sultry, almost R&B groove. Frey plays piano and guitar, Bernie Leadon adds guitar, and Don Felder tears off a bluesy solo soaked in thick, heavy distortion, all bends and sustain. Bill Szymczyk produced it for Asylum.

Following "Best of My Love", it gave them a second trip to the summit of the Billboard Hot 100, in an edit that chopped most of the intro and the fade, and it helped carry the album to number one as well.
