RIP - great music …

[JonPreston]

I grew up with their music and felt badly when they broke up.

[DocRock]

I grew up where they were from in west KY. Very sad news.

[Mark17]

The Everly brothers. Great musicians. RIP.

[Tupelo]

The Everly Brothers made some great music together.
Like many great groups, the sum was better than the parts.

[duckman]

RIP Don. Enjoyed your music.

[Manic_Episode]

My Favorite song in all of life is Gone Gone Gone by Crow, an Everly Brothers song.

RIP

Listen to “Wake up little Suzie,” and you get an idea of how morality has changed since the 1950’s.

RIP.. I had the good fortune as a kid to be in the Ryman Auditorium in the summer of 57 when the Everly Brothers made their debut at the Grand Ole Opry.. great memory

[daku]

Had a chance to see the Everly Brothers twice after the mid 80’s reunion. First show was over orchestrated with synthesizers but about a year later they played it old style with Albert Lee on guitar , a stand up bass player and a lap steel player, man it was fantastic.

The Everly Brothers: "Cathy's Clown" The Everly Brothers: "(Till) I kissed You" The Everly Brothers: "All I Have to Do Is Dream"

I was born in 1952 and remember seeing them on TV as a kid . Always dug them . Their harmonies a big influence on The Beatles and others . R.I.P. Don . Wish I could go back to 1950’s America ...

[Poser]

Phil and Don are legends. Their close harmony was the blueprint for many to follow including the Beach Boys and the Beatles. They were my boyhood faves along with Screamin’ Jay Hawkins, The Kingston Trio and Dion Demucci (Plus the Penguins, The Platters and a host of Doo-Wop groups).

RIP

[P.O.E.]

RIP - one of my folks’ favorites, and thus became one of mine, too.

[fidelis]

I was just listening to a bunch of their songs a couple of evenings ago. May he and Phil Rest In Peace.

Let it Be Me - Everly Brothers

[Gay State Conservative]

They did some great,great stuff.

[Sans-Culotte]

I was a fan. Wife and I saw them live in the late 80s or early 90s. Still sounded great then.

[Paleo Pete]

What a shame.

The first songs I ever learned to sing were with one of my 2 uncles who taught me to play guitar, and Everly Brothers songs were what they chose.

Ebony Eyes, All I Have To Do is Dream, and so forth, were the first couple of songs I ever learned, and I had to learn harmony parts, not lead vocals. I’m finally comfortable singing lead vocals, but for 20 years I preferred to be doing a harmony part because of my beginnings with harmonies on Everly Brothers songs. In my head I still switch to high harmony in the chorus of Dream...

Didn’t even know he was still alive, sad to see him gone. First round of Rock and Roll Hall of Fame too...wow...

[dfwgator]

Their influence on the early Beatles is undeniable.
