Eagles - I Can't Tell You Why (1979)

 February 23, 1980 - 41 Years Ago Today: Eagles had the Hot Shot Debut at No. 60 on the Billboard Hot 100 Chart with their single, "I Can't Tell You Why." This ballad was written by Glenn Frey, Don Henley & Timothy B. Schmidt and became their third and final Top Ten single and also the final single from their sixth and final studio album until 2007's "Long Road Out Of Eden." Like its two preceding singles from the album, "I Can't Tell You Why," peaked inside the Top Ten at No. 8 on April 19, 1980 and the title was prophetic considering this ultra successful band was on the verge of their breakup just five months later. Founders Don Henley and Glenn Frey along with the other members of the group set out for solo careers of their own. Henley received the most acclaim and the most hit albums and singles. They began one decade earlier as Linda Ronstadt's band and ended up becoming one of the world's most successful groups of all time. Their 1976 compilation album, "Eagles - Their Greatest Hits: 1971/1975" was the best-selling album of the 20th century in the United States, and it stayed the best-selling album in the U.S. for some years until it was surpassed by Michael Jackson's "Thriller" after the artist's death in 2009. In August 2018, it regained the title of the U.S.'s biggest-selling album, with a 38× Platinum certification by the Recording Industry Association of America. Eagles were inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1998. Please click the following link to view the accompanying video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jTejseilE-Y
