Stumbled upon this recollection of the origin of one of the greatest rock songs of all time from co-writer Don Felder. An even deeper recounting is here.

On this Music Friday, we offer a number of takes on the classic:

A live version of the original before the band shattered.

This version from Al B. Sure.

As if Johnny Cash sang it.

A Metal version by Violet Orlandi.

A Reggae version by Moonraisers.

And then, this rendition by a 6-year old.
