Slower Dancing Songs: The One You Love

Tweet

This morning provided a good laugh for me. We had some rain move through the city; however, watching it on the radar, it was like the eastern side of the city had a restraining order against the rain! I live on the rain side. Let’s kick off a new week with another song for @rebelann who’s getting a break from the rockin’ tunes this month (and we’ll make up for it next month ). The One You Love - Glenn Frey Huh? This is the same guy who sang “Take It Easy”? Yep, it sure is. This was Glenn Frey’s solo debut single, showing that he was running away from the Eagles’ sound. (Actually, Don Henley did, too, with synth-driven hits from his debut solo album like “Johnny Can’t Read” and “Dirty Laundry.”) Frey grew up in Detroit and on the Motown sound, and he didn’t get to show that off very much in the Eagles. While no one will ever mistake this for Boz Scaggs or Robert Palmer (two singers who excelled in blue-eyed soul), it was a good ballad to bring Frey’s “other side” to light after the Eagles broke up. And look who’s back! Jack Tempchin, who wrote (and sang lead on) the teaser song (“Slow Dancing”) co-wrote this one as well! The One You Love Written by Glenn Frey and Jack Tempchin Recorded by Glenn Frey From No Fun Aloud, 1982 I heard you on the phone:
