Kelly Clarkson's Powerful Cover of Eagles' 'Desperado' Leaves Fans Aching
Kelly Clarkson performed a cover of the Eagles' song "Desperado" on her latest Kellyoke session, paying homage to the band's iconic track about lone-wolfery. The song, recorded for the Eagles' second album, became one of their best-known hits, with Don Henley crediting Linda Rondstadt's cover for its popularity. The composition marked the beginning of Henley's songwriting partnership with Glenn Frey. In a Seinfeld episode, the character Elaine dates a man who becomes transfixed when the song plays. Although unrelated, Rihanna also has a song called "Desperado" on her album "Anti."
