America's Gerry Beckley says that ultimately it was the variety of Don Henley and Glen Frey trading off lead vocals that captured the public's attention: [ Click to listen if you have a backstage pass] "We were in the same office with those guys at the start, and I remember after 'Take It Easy' there was some debate -- not everybody was sure that 'Witchy Woman' was the way to go, because it was Don singing.
