Los Eagles surgieron en una época donde el rock y la música country experimentaban una simbiosis única. La banda se formó en 1971 en Los Ángeles, California, cuando Glenn Frey, Don Henley, Bernie Leadon y Randy Meisner unieron fuerzas. Los cuatro músicos se habían conocido mientras tocaban como banda de respaldo para Linda Ronstadt. Las afinidades musicales y personales les llevaron a forjar su propio camino, creando un sonido que resonaría profundamente en la cultura estadounidense.
Su álbum debut, Eagles, se lanzó en 1972 y pronto demostró ser un éxito rotundo. Sencillos como "Take It Easy" y "Witchy Woman" ayudaron a definir el sonido de la banda, una mezcla perfecta de armonías vocales y guitarra elegante. Este disco los estableció como una fuerza a tener en cuenta en la escena del rock & roll.
El siguiente álbum, Desperado (1973), reforzó aún más su reputación e introdujo el tema recurrente de los forajidos del Viejo Oeste. Aunque inicialmente no fue tan exitoso como su anterior trabajo, canciones como "Desperado" se convirtieron en clásicos con el tiempo.
On the Border (1974) y One of These Nights (1975) continuaron su racha de éxitos. Fue también en esta época cuando Joe Walsh reemplazó a Leadon, añadiendo un nuevo matiz al sonido de la banda. Estas modificaciones no afectaron negativamente al grupo; en cambio, lograron

I came home to an empty house
And I found your little note
\"Don't wait up for me tonight\"
And that was all she wrote
Do you think I don't know that you're out on the town
With all of your high-rollin' friends?
What do you do when you come up empty?
Where do you go when the party ends?
And you were just too busy being fabulous
Too busy to think about us
I don't know what you were dreaming of
Somehow you forgot about love
And you were just too busy being fabulous, uh-huh
A little time in the country
A day or two to slow down
A bottle of wine and a walk in the moonlight
Maybe some foolin' around
But you think time is just a magazine
And money's just a thrill
I've waited so long for you to change your way of livin'
Now I realize that you never will
'Cause you were just too busy being fabulous
Too busy to think about us
Lookin' for something you'll never find
You'll never know what you left behind
'Cause you were just too busy being fabulous, uh-huh
You tell a joke and everybody's laughin'
That's something you know how to do
You've always been the life of the party
But now my baby, the joke is on you
'Cause you were just too busy being fabulous
Too busy to think about us
Running after something that never comes
What in the world are you runnin' from?
And you were just too busy being fabulous
Too busy to think about us
To drink the wine from your winner's cup
To notice the children were growin' up
And you were just too busy being fabulous
Too busy, too busy
Too busy
Aw, baby
