Yes indeed! He sure had the whole package The Voice The Looks The Talent. Maybe he was just too nice for the music business. God he could sing! I also love Daughter of the Sky!
As a bass player and high harmony singer Randy was an inspiration to me ever since I first heard him in Rick Nelson's Stone Canyon Band and then through Poco ,The Eagles and his solo career . RIP Randy and thanks for your contribution to the soundtrack of my life.
They seemed to be missing the a-hole gene that Henley and Frey had in excess. Nice guys didn’t stand a chance in that band. I wonder if Vince Gill struggles being an Eagle? 😁
In Timothy's brief acceptance speech at the RnR Hall of Fame, he made a point to speak about Randy, who was standing behind him. Timothy showed us once again that he's a class act.
No, what is sad is that he was pushed by someone to the point of wanting to leave. The Eagles all sounded so good together. Randy was a big part of that sound. He looks, in this video, like he is relaxed and enjoying himself.
"Take It To The Limit" is one of my favorite Eagles Songs. This 1980/'81 hit I bought the 45. December '80-January of '81. I didn't realize he was a member of The Eagles back then. I was too young.
This live video is a gem. We get to see and hear Randy singing this lovely song of his, hear the harmonies and watch him looking relaxed and quite happy. Makes me feel very happy for him. ❤
Gosh I wish they would release his last two albums as a tribute! I know there lots of us who would pay a lot money to add them to our collection! RIP Randy we will never forget you! 🙏
They are all just really enjoying themselves so much here and it's so good to see Randy in the middle of that ! He absolutely deserved it ! R. I. P Randy . Best wishes to all from Cambridge , England
God Bless you Randy. Your troubles on this earth are over. "Some souls are just too beautiful for this world." I will never forget your wonderful voice and masterful talent. My heart is broken.❤
Such a great song!! In March 1981, I saw him with this same group at the old Golden Bear in Huntington Beach, CA, on tour in support of this album. One of the best shows I've ever seen, they were very tight, and sounded amazing, just like the records, I'll never forget it.

He was the most attractive man in the group. Probably made the rest very jealous. Gosh, he had it all. Wish they would have pulled together and helped him with his addictions. Fine talent off the grid too long.
To Randy,You are absolutely the best member from the Eagles, period.Because you are a good human being!!!!You were and still are the best to me!!!Hope to see you down the road.
He sang “Take it to the limit” “Try and love again” which where huge hits for The Eagles, but what is overlooked is his high harmony’s on all the songs is what really made those catchy choruses from The Eagles sooo good.

On this day in 1980 {December 5th} Randy Meisner performed "Hearts On Fire" on the NBC-TV late-night musical variety program, 'The Midnight Special'...

And on the same 'Special' show, in duet with Kim Carnes, Randy also performed "Deep Inside My Heart", at the time the song was in it's first of two weeks at #22 on Billboard's Top 100, that was also it's peak position on the chart, and it spent sixteen weeks on the Top 100... "Deep Inside My Heart" reached #12 on the Canadian RPM Singles chart... He had one other Top 100 record, "Never Been In Love", it peaked at #28 {for 3 weeks} on September 12th, 1982...

'So sorry to read about Randy's wife's death. (Loaded gun went off in their home.) And, today is Randy's birthday. He's been having some big struggles lately. Leadon/Meisner era will always be my favourite Eagles era.
This was a nice find! Randy Meisner doing a solo album. Watched the Eagles doc from 2012 last night and was stunned by how Henley and Frey came across very egotistically and Randy has be be the sweetest and most laid back guy in the band. The history of the band sheds a whole new light on the members. I'm sorry Randy left so soon after Hotel California. His voice was priceless.
i got the vibe that Randy was not comfortable singing many of the songs they wrote that only Randy's amazing voice could pull off. Dont be so hard on Don and Glenn, they were the business guys in the band, someone has to be after all. Joe see totally fine to let them deal with all the business parts of the band. so did Tim. And Randy seem happy with all that too but the part about him not wanting to sing more songs that only Randy could sing........I think that was a compliment to Randys craft actually and Randy lacked the confidence in his own craft....Which is actually sad to look back what 40yrs later.......I love Randy...but i think he stood in his own way.....
Donna Da Music Lover Fanatic I don't know quite hard to reply. I was not there but honestly they were "the business guys in the band" and sure still are. I am guessing The Eagles had managers, accountants to deal with that stuff. They started out 4 guys sitting on stools and ended up this massive, money making machine. At what point could poor Randy Meisner walk away? When he did, he had to, his sanity depended on it. His fellow band members had become bloated egotists with dollar signs in their eyes.
una mckillen I don't recall ever hearing Randy referring to himself as a victim of Don and Glenn but seems everyone wants to label him as a victim.. Randy would not have achieved the success he did without Don and Glenn....i don't think Randy had what it takes to achieve that success on his own. If he had the ability then why didn't he get it after leaving the band? Have we sunken so far in American society that when we cant label our selves a victims, now we go looking for more people to call victims when that person has never said they were a victim? I have never heard Randy say he is a victim here...Never...I don't think it is anyone's place to label him victim especially if he is not calling himself victim.
Donna Da Music Lover Fanatic Did I label him a victim? No. I did not. I am not American anyway and I am not looking for possible litigants. I just liked Randy and thought he was badly treated by his fellow band members. I still think that although I appreciate he moved on. For that I am pleased. I think the success thing is more complex than you give it credit for. The Eagles started out as 4 folky guys sitting on stools. Randy was a core of that. Then they moved on: rock Gods inc. At that point Randy left, Bernie had already gone. The Eagles moved on to mega-success at mega-stadiums in a different world. Randy would not have called himself a victim but he was certainly left behind by the guys whose fame he helped make. His personal success after the band? that is a different question. He sang heart-breaking, lonely, on the road songs like the early Eagles but maybe the world had, as had The Eagles themselves, moved on from songs like that.

Yes indeed! He sure had the whole package The Voice The Looks The Talent. Maybe he was just too nice for the music business. God he could sing! I also love Daughter of the Sky!
Actually, I think he did realize how great he was. He was just a nice guy in a dog-eat-dog business.

I am sad now.@@ShEDDiNgmYSkiN

Rest in peace, Mr. Meisner. Thank you for this great tune and all the others.
What a great song from an amazing artist.
the Heart of the Eagles band & deserved better, they died after he was kicked out unfairly by Glen Frey
had the best vocal range & harmonies too
No Eagles left.

RIP Randy Meisner. All the songs you have sung with got a deeper quality, and your bassline was fabulous❤
I am sad now.
RIP to one of the most amazing voices.

They seemed to be missing the a-hole gene that Henley and Frey had in excess. Nice guys didn’t stand a chance in that band. I wonder if Vince Gill struggles being an Eagle? 😁

R.I.P. Randy Meisner. You were a great musician with a great voice, and lived a good, long, full life.
RIP Randy. Take it to the limit one last time.

@DiegoRamirez-zc7fs well no shit!! Thanks captain obvious!

Thank You for 50 years of Great Music!
RIP Randy ❤
RIP Mr Meisner your music will live forever! Thanks for healing my soul at difficult times in life!
One of my favorite songs of all time - he really was too sweet and nice for the cutthroat Eagles and music business. We will miss you, Randy.
Randy was the unsung hero of the Eagles. Try and love again is one of my absolute favorites.
Mine too.
mine as well, Randy is amazing.
👍👍👍👍👍💯
He wrote those songs.
Take it tro the limit is one of my favorite Eagles songs
No, what is sad is that he was pushed by someone to the point of wanting to leave. The Eagles all sounded so good together. Randy was a big part of that sound. He looks, in this video, like he is relaxed and enjoying himself.
He was the heart of that band. Easygoing, talented, underestimated. My favorite 🦅.
I know that hurt him terribly 😢 Rest in peace Randy.❤
"Take It To The Limit" is one of my favorite Eagles Songs. This 1980/'81 hit I bought the 45. December '80-January of '81. I didn't realize he was a member of The Eagles back then. I was too young.
Yep Glen Frey was an asshole, a talented asshole, but an asshole
❤completely agree. Every one of those other Eagles members couldn't hold a candle to Randy's vocals. Pure jealousy on their part
Rest In Peace Brother .. your voice will echo into the centuries
This live video is a gem. We get to see and hear Randy singing this lovely song of his, hear the harmonies and watch him looking relaxed and quite happy. Makes me feel very happy for him. ❤
Rest In Peace dear Randy and fly free happy forever :(

On this day in 1980 {December 5th} Randy Meisner performed "Hearts On Fire" on the NBC-TV late-night musical variety program, 'The Midnight Special'...
One month later on January 19th, 1981 the song entered Billboard's Top 100 chart at position #65, seven weeks later it would peak at #19 {for 3 weeks} and it stayed on the Top 100 for fifteen weeks...
And on the same 'Special' show, in duet with Kim Carnes, Randy also performed "Deep Inside My Heart", at the time the song was in it's first of two weeks at #22 on Billboard's Top 100, that was also it's peak position on the chart, and it spent sixteen weeks on the Top 100...
"Deep Inside My Heart" reached #12 on the Canadian RPM Singles chart...
He had one other Top 100 record, "Never Been In Love", it peaked at #28 {for 3 weeks} on September 12th, 1982...
Randy Herman Meisner will celebrate his 72nd birthday come next March 8th {2018}...
