August 2, 1975 –
The eponymously named title track from their One of These Nights album, became the Eagles second single to top the Billboard Hot 100 chart, after Best Of My Love, on this date.
Glenn Frey cited this as an example of how he and Don Henley clicked as songwriters. “I’d go over to the piano and say, ‘Hey, what do you think of this?‘ he told Tavis Smiley. “I’d play something, and he’d go, ‘Yeah, I like that, I like that.’ Maybe just get up and start singing. That’s the way we wrote ‘One of These Nights.’ I just went over to the piano and I started playing this little minor descending progression, and he comes over and goes, (singing) ‘One of these nights.’ I go, yeah, yeah.“
