Fans of the Eagles Need to Hear Kelly Clarkson's Smooth "New York Minute" Cover
She totally made the tune her own!
Kelly Clarkson did one of the musical greats justice yet again.
Recently on The Kelly Clarkson Show, Clarkson covered the 1989 tune "New York Minute," which is a solo song from the Eagles front-man, Don Henley.
The performance started out with some twinkling piano chords while Clarkson crooned with confidence. She sang the track's introspective story with determination, performing with grit as her voice soared (naturally). The intense drums kicked in for the chorus as Clarkson beautifully harmonized some high notes with her backup singer.

A song off Henley's album, The End of Innocence, "New York Minute" reached the number-48 position on the Billboard charts in 1990. Although it's a solo song by Henley, the tune is frequently performed by the Eagles in concert.

"New York Minute" by Don Henley lyrics
Harry got up, dressed all in black
Went down to the station, and he never came back
They found his clothing scattered somewhere down the track
And he won't be down on Wall Street in the morning
He had a home, love of a girl
But men get lost sometimes as years unfurl
One day, he crossed some line, and he was too much in this world
But I guess it doesn't matter anymore
In a New York minute, everything can change
In a New York minute, things can get pretty strange
In a New York minute, everything can change
In a New York minute
Lying here in the darkness, I hear the sirens wail
Somebody going to emergency, somebody's going to jail
You find somebody to love in this world, you better hang on tooth and nail
The wolf is always at the door
In a New York minute, everything can change
In a New York minute, things can get a little strange
In a New York minute, everything can change
In a New York minute
And in these days, darkness falls early
And people rush home to the ones they love
You'd better take a fool's advice and take care of your own
One day they're here, next day they're gone
Pulled my coat around my shoulders, took a walk down through the park
Leaves were falling around me, groaning city in the gathering dark
On some solitary rock, a desperate lover left his mark
"Baby, I've changed, please come back"
What the head makes cloudy, the heart makes very clear
I know the days were so much brighter in the time when she was here
I know that somebody somewhere can make these dark clouds disappear
But until that day, I have to believe, I believe, I believe
In a New York minute, everything can change
In a New York minute, you can get out of the rain
In a New York minute, everything can change
In a New York, New York minute
In a New York minute, everything can change
In a New York minute, you can get out of the rain
In a New York minute, everything can change
In a New York minute, everything can change
In a New York minute, you can get out of the rain
In a New York minute, everything can change
