EB 84 by The Everly Brothers, was the group's first album after their 70s split and spawned the hit single On The Wings Of A Nightingale. After success in the 60s and early 70s, the Everly Brothers decided to take time off from performing, announcing their final performance together would be on July 14, 1973, at Knott's Berry Farm in California. Unfortunately, high tensions between the two began to surface during the show until Phil smashed his guitar and stormed off the stage, while Don finished the show, ending their collaboration. Reportedly, they did not speak to each other for almost a decade, except at their father's funeral in 1975. The brothers got back together in 1983 at the Royal Albert Hall in London. This concert spawned a well-received live LP and video. The brothers then returned to the studio together, resulting in the album EB '84,. The lead single On the Wings of a Nightingale, written by Paul McCartney, was a qualified success (Top 10 adult contemporary) and returned them to the Billboard Hot 100 (for their last appearance) and UK chart. The video of On the Wings of a Nightingale portrays the brothers rescuing a classic car from a junk yard, restoring it (in 35 seconds!), then taking it out for a spin. It is the most popular and recognizable of the duo's songs recorded since 1980.
