Who sings the lead on ‘Take It To The Limit’ by Eagles?

Randy Meisner sings lead on the Eagles’ ‘Take It To The Limit’, a role that can be easy to miss amid the band’s better-known voices, Don Henley and Glenn Frey. The song matters as an example of how Meisner’s voice helped shape the group’s sound and its blend of rock, folk and country.

Meisner co-wrote the 1975 track with Henley and Frey, and had already sung lead on ‘Take the Devil’ and ‘Tryin’’ as well as contributed high harmonies. The article links the song’s theme of persevering through the demands of life and work to Meisner’s eventual departure from the Eagles in 1977; he described the lyric as a call to keep trying “one more time”.
