Don Henley stated in the notes written in the booklet to Eagles’ 2003 “The Very Best Of” compilation, that “Desperado” was a piece of a song that he had written in 1968. He said, “It was called something else, but it was the same melody, same chords. I think it had something to do with Astrology .”
While this is one of the Eagles’ signature songs, it was never released as a single. “Desperado” was voted #494 in the Rolling Stone’s 500 Greatest Songs of All Time.
