JSngry Posted January 4, 2014 Report Share Posted January 4, 2014 I must admit that I did not fully appreciate the Everly's artistry until I began to play in cover bands. Just hearing in the flesh how their lines hooked up, regardless of the competency of the attempters was an ongoing revelation. Sometimes, in fact, the people who tried and got it wrong were an even bigger revelation than those who got it right, especially those who were getting ti wrong but thought they were getting it right. It was like, yeah, that's easier, and in theory not wrong, but definitely not right. Anyway, RIP, and sincere thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GA Russell Posted January 4, 2014 Report Share Posted January 4, 2014 RIP. I went to a party at a convention in Las Vegas about 1985 in which the Everly Brothers performed. They were great! A buddy of mine allowed me to dance to Dream, Dream, Dream with his wife (who was gorgeous!) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stereojack Posted January 4, 2014 Report Share Posted January 4, 2014 I have been a big fan ever since I first heard them as a kid in 1957. Phil's harmony parts were beautiful, a lesson in how to sing harmony.RIP, Phil, and thanks for all the wonderful music. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kinuta Posted January 4, 2014 Report Share Posted January 4, 2014 I was 10 or 11 when I first heard Bye Bye Love. Their singles had an enormous influence on forming my musical tastes,and those of a whole generation of young British kids. RIP and thanks for all the wonderful songs.

paul secor Posted January 4, 2014 Report Share Posted January 4, 2014 I loved the Everly Brothers singing back in the 50's when they began. Back then, I didn't know anything about their background and that they were a continuation of the "brother duets" in country music. As I heard and learned more, I came to appreciate their music much more than I did when I was young. Thanks, Mr. Everly. You (and Don - I can't separate the sound of the two of you) meant a lot to many, many people. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

danasgoodstuff Posted January 14, 2014 Report Share Posted January 14, 2014 Phil & Don had a blend that was, IMHO, just exquisite. Songs Our Daddy Taught Us is one of my favorite things, ever. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sgcim Posted January 15, 2014 Report Share Posted January 15, 2014 RIP, Phil. They played a live concert on the radio in tribute, and I was surprised to hear what great musicians they used and featured at their concerts. This one had the great Buddy Emmons(!) and Albert Collins. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
