The hit was included on the band’s 1974 album, On the Border. The first of five chart-toppers, “The Best of My Love” also topped the Easy Listening (Adult Contemporary) chart in February 1975, spending one week at the No. 1 spot on both charts.
In a biography of the band written by Marc Eliot, To the Limit: The Untold Story of the Eagles, Eliot writes that Henley was feeling "a lot of guilt and remorse" over a low-profile breakup with Suzannah Martin when he wrote the song. A sleeper succes, the single peaked due to audience demand and radio play fueling its popularity.
The group officially broke up in 1980, following their final concert in July 1980. Reports revealed inner fighting and tension among the members, Don Henley famously stating they’d get back together “when hell freezes over.”
These days, the guys are celebrating their farewell Long Goodbye Tour. Extending dates through May, the band announced a third leg hitting Atlanta’s Truist Park on May 5, Nashville’s FirstBank Stadium at Vanderbilt University on May 9, and Arlington, Texas’ Globe Life Field on May 16. Special guest Tedeschi Trucks Band will join the band for all “Act III” shows, per Billboard.
