Who wrote the song Desperado?

Question

Sung by the Eagles

Answer 1

Don Henley and Glenn Frey

Answer 2

Desperado was indeed co-written by Don Henley and Glenn Frey, and appeared on the album of the same name, which was released in April of 1973, as a follow-up to The Eagles' debut release.

The Desperado album wasn't much of a hit out of the gate - in fact, the song Desperado hardly received any airplay until 1976, when the band included the song on their Eagles' Their Greatest Hits 1971-1975 album. By that time, the song had already been covered by Linda Ronstadt and Karen Carpenter.

Other notable covers include Johnny Rodriguez, Kenny Rogers, Clint Black, Johnny Cash and Westlife.

But, like many of the Eagles' biggest hits, Desperado was originally a Henley-Frey creation.
