message: The opening lines states that The Eagles version is the definitive version and recieves significant airplay.
In my doing some research on this song and it's various versions, several questions are raised, not least are:
1. What defines a definitive version a song:  The songwriters approval, radio airplay (as implied by the opening remarks about airplay), listener approval, critcal reception, sales, an article writer's assertion?
All of these may be in-play to varying degrees, but without clarification as to what is and defines a definitive version and supporting clear evidence, a statement of opinion can be read as a statement of fact. Thus without defining the terms and criteria of the assertion, (which may turn out to be fact), writing that x song is the definitive version is potentially misleading.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by James98926 (talk • contribs) 16:29, 28 July 2008 (UTC)

message: I'm restoring the "bluegrass music|bluegrassy" and "Southern gospel|gospel" as pipelinks in the quote from Steve Young in the Eagles' version section. I'm aware MOS states "Items within quotations should not generally be linked": however this is not an absolute negative stance on links within quotations & in this specific instance I'd opine there's nothing specious in linking to the articles about the music styles Young cites. Also MOS does not advocate deletion of links in quotations without provision of another route to the information, stating: "Instead, consider placing the relevant links in the surrounding text or in the 'See also' section of the article". Therefore some provision for linking to "bluegrass music" and "Southern gospel" should be provided: the editor who dropped the links evidently did not give the requested consideration to alternatives & on my giving these alternatives consideration I conclude that placing links in the surrounding text or in a "See also" section would just make for an awkward read, & that in this specific instance links within a quotation are reasonable. --Cherrylimerickey (talk) 19:11, 18 May 2013 (UTC)
