(1972)"Doctor My Eyes" is a 1972 song written and performed by Jackson Browne and included on his debut album Jackson Browne. Featuring a combination of an upbeat piano riff coupled, somewhat ironically, with lyric about feeling world-weary, the song was a surprise hit, reaching number 8 on the Billboard Hot 100 in spring 1972. Browne would not see the Top 10 again until 1982's soundtrack hit "Somebody's Baby".[1] "Doctor My Eyes" became a concert mainstay for Browne, and was included on both his later compilation albums.
Jesse Ed Davis played the guitar fills and solo, while David Crosby sang backing vocals.[2]
