<Tr> <Td> "Lyin' Eyes" (1975) </Td> <Td> "Take It to the Limit" (1975) </Td> <Td> "New Kid in Town" (1976) </Td> </Tr> <P> "Take It to the Limit" is a song by the Eagles from their fourth album One of These Nights from which it was issued as the third single on November 15, 1975 . It reached No. 4 on the U.S. Billboard Hot 100 and was also the Eagles' greatest success to that point in the UK, going to No. 12 on the charts . Billboard ranked it as the No. 25 song for 1976 . </P> <P> The song was written by Eagles' members Randy Meisner, Don Henley and Glenn Frey . Meisner, who sang lead on it, says the song began as his solo composition . As it remained unfinished when time came for the One of These Nights album to be recorded, Henley and Frey assisted Meisner in completing it . Meisner's performance of the song was popular with the audience in Eagles' concerts, but disputes over his reluctance to perform it would also directly lead to Meisner's departure from the band . </P> <P> According to Meisner, he wrote the first few lines of the song one night while playing an acoustic guitar after returning from the Troubadour; however he was not able to finish the song by the time they were close to recording it, and Frey and Henley then helped him with the lyrics . Meisner later said of how he would usually write songs with the Eagles: "I'd get a verse or two, and I'm done, and they would help fill in the blanks" </P>
