...excellent, high clear choices. Randy Meisner had a wonderful voice too.
In fact, one of the things that caused the rift between him and Frey/Henley was his reluctance to sing lead live, especially "Take It To The Limit". They froze him out; he told them buh-bye.
Then, they got Schmidt who is the same guy that replaced him when he left Poco.
It was like Poco was a farm team for The Eagles.
