Which Eagles song was written by Jack Tempchin and Robb Strandlund?

“Already Gone” was written by Jack Tempchin and Robb Strandlund and recorded by the Eagles.

The song came from outside the band’s core songwriting partnership. Tempchin later sent Glenn Frey a tape of the composition, and the Eagles adapted it for their third studio album, On the Border. Tempchin had already written “Peaceful Easy Feeling,” another important early Eagles song.

The Eagles recorded “Already Gone” after moving their sessions back from London to Los Angeles and changing producers from Glyn Johns to Bill Szymczyk. Frey sang lead and played guitar, while Don Felder supplied a prominent electric-guitar solo. The band released the track as the album’s first single in April 1974.

The single reached No. 32 on the Billboard Hot 100 and became a durable live and compilation favorite. It is easy to confuse its writers with Eagles members because the band’s performance became so closely associated with the song, but neither Tempchin nor Strandlund was a member of the Eagles.
