The Everly Brothers made some great music. My favorite is “Walk Right Back”.

The first song I remember from them was TEMPTATION. I have not heard that song by them since. All the other songs, yes, but not TEMPTATION. Not even on the oldies stations.

It was my favorite song by them.

Sad news. The Everlys were making hits before I was born, but “Walk Right Back” is somewhere in my personal Top 20 of all time.

Not only is a music legend gone, but so is the great music of that era. I loved every one of their songs. RIP Phil.

Memorable music to dream by...they were heavenly to listen to. I am so happy to have been a teenager during the mid 50s to 1960. Sweet memories of sweeter people, places and things.

Sad news. I always loved listening to the Everlys. Saw them live around he late 80s. They still sounded great then and had produced a couple of great albums in the 80s as well.

I went to Christchurch, NZ, US Navy base in 1963, and the enlisted men’s club was called the “Bird Dog.” Was said to be because Kiwi girls often came to the club with one sailor, then left with another. About the year 2000, I met a girl from Christchurch who told me the “Bird Dog” club was still operational.

I have been a huge Everly fan since I was 12. My first real teenage crush was on Phil Everly and later, before they retired, I worked for them for several years. This is a huge part of my teen and early adult years gone.

Before I became a Christian, Rock and Roll was my god and Phil Everly was my messiah. May God grant him rest.

It’s truly bye, bye love. It was 1958. I was 7 and my brother was 12. Someone had gotten my sisters a record player that included one 45 rpm record. It was WAKE UP, LITTLE SUZY. My brother and I learned to harmonize listening to that record over and over until we wore it out. We really could harmonize just like them. And we did until the day my brother died.

As the great ones die, they’ll never be replaced.

Heavenly harmonies, but what also struck me was their diction. You could understand every ...single ...word they sang.

My fav? Walk Right Back.

RIP, and thanks for you service.
