What happened today in Music History... 

April 3
 

1971 – On this day, Paul McCartney's single "Another Day" peaked at No. 2 in the UK and became a major international hit. It was his first solo single following The Beatles' breakup, showing his knack for everyday storytelling and gentle melodic hooks.

1975 – Steve Miller Band recorded "Fly Like an Eagle", which would go on to become one of their signature hits. The track blended spacey synths, blues-rock guitar, and socially conscious lyrics, embodying the spirit of mid-70s rock.

1982 – Billy Joel's single "Pressure" entered the Top 10 on the Billboard Hot 100. The song, driven by a pulsing synthesizer riff, reflected the stress and expectations of modern life and was a highlight of his The Nylon Curtain album.

1989 – The Bangles, known for hits like "Manic Monday" and "Walk Like an Egyptian," announced they were disbanding after internal tensions and burnout. The band would reunite a decade later, but their breakup marked the end of a defining chapter in 80s pop-rock.
