May 1, 1972 –
The Eagles’ first single, Take It Easy, written by Jackson Browne and Glenn Frey, was released on this date.
The Eagles played this live long before they recorded it. It was one of the songs they played when they were doing four sets a night at a club in Aspen, Colorado. By the time they recorded it, the song had more of a country feel.
