You Won’t Believe What This Country Legend Pulled off With the Eagles Classic “Take It Easy”! Picture This: Niall Horan, John Legend, and Gwen Stefani All Joining in on the Magic. It’s a Collaboration That’ll Blow Your Mind!

You’d think that Gwen Stefani, John Legend, and Niall Horan together on stage would be enough vocal power for a show, but The Voice had to up the ante by bringing in country music icon Reba McEntire. When you hear what she did to the Eagles classic “Take It Easy,” you might just be blown away—she made it sound like the song was written especially for her!

It was quite the treat to hear Horan and Legend open the 1972 hit—country rock isn’t exactly their thing, but they killed it! Stefani is wed to Blake Shelton, and judging from the way she sounds when she croons on a country song, all of their duets must have paid off. The big moment, of course, was when McEntire finally took the lead vocal. She then brought the house down with the other three stars when they sang the chorus together.

Observing how much fun everyone was having was another fantastic aspect of the show. The four stars were undoubtedly aware that they were in a unique moment and were utilizing it to the fullest. Given that the four singers have such diverse musical backgrounds, it was also fascinating to hear how well they gelled as a vocal group. On September 23, 2023, the video was uploaded to YouTube, where it quickly gained popularity with 3.6 million views.

At-home viewers expressed their enjoyment of the live collaboration by leaving comments like, “Niall and Reba, who knew they would sound so good together! I adore this partnership so much! and “I wish there was a way to count how many times I’ve watched this video; it’s a perfect example of pure musical chemistry with a well-known song.” A truly outstanding performance. Earlier this year, Reba and Legend collaborated once more to perform Jackie DeShannon’s “Put a Little Love in Your Heart” on The Voice.

“Take It Easy,” co-written by Eagles frontman Glenn Frey and Jackson Browne, was released as the group’s first single on May 1, 1972. “Take It Easy,” which featured lead vocals by Frey, was the first song on the Eagles’ self-titled debut album.

One of the Eagles’ signature songs in the years since, the single peaked at number 12 on the Billboard Hot 100. Additionally, it has appeared on every live album and compilation they have released.
