2012 NAMM: Phil Everly Interview

www.vintagerock... - The legendary Phil Everly Talks with Vintage Rock's Junkman at 2012 NAMM. Janaury 20, 2012. Anaheim, CA. Filmed and edited by Alex Jacard.

[@mysticmaverick1]

Humble. I talked with him and he was sweet, honest, kind and trusting. When asked if he wanted his son to be a singer, he said he wanted to teach him how to be a man.

[@Majak361]

Yeah, I’ve heard that story before because of Jason wanted to become a singer and songwriter but for phil everly because he just said was that no that he try to make him a man and nothing going to do whatever he wants and if I’m meeting him there if he still alive today that’s OK cool.

[@funguy4utube]

What a fine fellow he was … humility is so refreshing !

[@theresabollman8061]

From what I've read, he had that in spades. Erin Everly, his niece, said he was the sweetest, kindness happiest person. What an amazing legacy.

[@funguy4utube]

You want him to live forever ya know .. I bet Ricky Nelson was like that too ..

[@sammccue500]

Indeed. One of the kindest, most generous souls to ever grace our planet. A true "country gentleman." I was fortunate enough to play with him and Donald for several years, on the road and in the studio, and I'll never forget them. Descansa en paz, mi amigo.

[@carolelinda6476]

Phil was so humble. So different from so many of today's artists who so often are so full of themselves but with little talent.

[@marywoodruff6640]

The most remarkable thing was no one watching ever knew how he was suffering. He went along with the gentleman out of respect and sang a line but he could no longer sing very easily. What a wonderful man he was, and always will be. You are still in our hearts. 💝

[@alanturner9651]

Don and Phil changed my world !!!

[@alanturner9651]

I love them always

[@brianwilson9828]

Phil has not gone away, he is in the same place he has always been...with his brother on my record player!

Hi Phil, They say it takes a minute to find a special person, an hour to appreciate them, a day to love them, but a entire lifetime to forget them. I,ll never forget the Everley,s. Thanks for the memories.

The Everly Brothers were a gift to the world.

Yes, und Phil's Liebe wird nie vergehen. Seine Seele hat für uns gesungen ,wird immer da sein. Danke besonders dir Phil. Und danke fürs teilen

They still are !

[@utatriebel2211]

Aus ihm " einen Mann" machen.... klingt nach Drill.😮 Jeder weiss ja, dass der Mann von Kaiserin Sissi, dasselbe machen wollte mit seinem feinfühligem Sohn und jeder weiss auch wie es endete 😢

[@lelboy]

I did, too, and he's still just as handsome! He and Don's performance at the Albert Hall, here in London, showed what they were/are - one class act.......

[@taratova]

I had a crush on Phil Everly in the fifties and I still do.. He is a sweet guy.

[@EdwinaCardini]

All these many years I've loved you no has ever known. known has ever known but me alone.

[@billbrimmer1739]

A true gentleman two years before passing. I’ve always felt he had the harder role with his brother, because Phil sang the harmony. He and Don grew up performing and we all benefited from it. RIP my msn..

[@stewartfenton7660]

Yes, and Don sang it differently every damn time. Had to be handy that Phil could read his mind. That's why there was only one Everly Brothers.

[@stewartfenton7660]

@@marywatkins6798 oh god, if you're trying to pick me up on my English, say so. The "Everly Brothers" is an entity, singular. Or they can be the "Everly Brothers" plural. KZbin is rampant with illiterate people, pick on one of them.

[@Marcel_Audubon]

Phil was always a gentle gentleman (no, not a typo).

[@kathyvandewal1107]

Always sweet, always a gentleman. Had the pleasure of seeing them in Kingston, Ontario & Toronto years ago, Have been in love with them (Phil) since Bye Bye Love. In Toronto they played at the Inn On The Park, Phil stepped out of the elevator, and stopped and signed an autograph for me, he was so nice; I still have it . It's wonderful to visit these sites, watch their performances . Their music is so fresh. It was a great era to grow up in. Thank you to the Everlys for the memories.

[@cards1985]

I will always remember The Brothers harmonies. Best duo ever. R.I.P. Phil.

[@jarac1357]

What a sweet man.

[@musicmatty67]

He and his brother are some of the best singers ever !

[@joyb1155]

What a sweetheart! I've just now realized that i've been in love with the Everely Brothers all my life.

[@roypruysvdhoeven1855]

Very nice person Phil Everly...RIP Phil ....You must be in heavens choir now....

[@OtisFan1]

Since hearing the sad news this morning of Phil's passing, I've been trying to play everything Everly on YT. And I've been crying all day. They were my first "favorite artist" and always my favorite duo. As many have said, they taught a generation how to sing harmony. Glad that Phil lived to see the unique tribute of an entire album of theirs (1958 folk collection "Songs Our Daddy Taught Us") being covered, cleverly named "Foreverly" by Billie Joe Armstrong and Norah Jones. Phil was pleased with it. Now Phil is harmonizing in heaven with Jim Reeves, Patsy Cline, Sam Cook, Otis Redding and so many others we've lost. Prayers to the family.

[@scouse499]

old rob Scouse I was at the Liverpool Empire Theatre, 1960, the night Phil was talking about. Two of the backing group were ex Crickets, on bass and drums. Still remember them appearing from each side of the stage. What a night!!

[@gasmeter1947]

So Long Phil, the world and I, owe you so much ..... Peter.

[@robertkarchunas7292]

When I was in Anaheim, California and I was fortunate to meet Mr. Everly at a Namm convention with his son. He was kind and modest giving autographs to the people. I enjoyed talking with him and have always enjoyed the Everly Brothers music. He will be missed!

[@MissMegaPipsqueak]

god..what a lovely man..xx

[@dropover]

What a nice guy!

[@ediekoller2636]

R.I.P. Phil you were a great entertainer and modest too. Thank you for your music.

[@suzannemorgan3446]

Indeed a true gentlemen . Gentle and humble. God Bless you Phil. x

[@nicholasserio4031]

Was the greatest collector of Everly Brothers records, tapes and cds. I started hearing them back in 1984. 30 years now. Never thought he had any sickness or pulmonary disease. He looked to me to be a good healthy man at his age of 73.

[@MountainCruzer]

R.I.P. Phil. I want to thank you and your brother for sharing your wonderful music with the world! You made it a better place to live.

[@subg8858]

There is literally nothing better than the Everlys. Can’t beat perfection

[@alexanderharkess3279]

I seen Phil and Don twice here when they toured Scotland.....they were fantastic...I learned to harmonize while listening to their Records.....I'm 69 now and still doing harmony with my Band The Backstreet Beatles.........THANK YOU AMERICA for giving the world PHIL and DON.....THE EVERLY BROTHERS.

[@TPower5514]

Rest in Peace Phil.

[@geemann3760]

No duet has ever reached their level of harmony quality. Just check out some of the covers of their work. It can't be duplicated.

[@LORRIEVIVALASVEGAS]

Fabulous! so wonderful to see Phil:) He sill look Awesomexxxxxx God Bless him!!! Thank you !! ((hugs)) Lorrie

Hey PHIL! If you read this you look and sound great, brother! So good to see you on here, and thanks for the memories. Of course we'd all like to hear more from you and Don if possible. Nobody I know can ever forget the best singing duo on Earth! God Bless from your biggest fan in FL.

Enjoyed hearing Phil talk!! Will always remember and love Phil and DON Everly.!!Belated Birthday to DON!!

[@craigawest]

Clearly, industry insiders must have surely appreciated that Phil and Don Everly were going to be something special long before others did. In point of fact, the Everly Brothers profoundly influenced some of the most celebrated rock, folk and country music artists' of all-time. Notwithstanding, "All I Have to Do Is Dream" remains ranked as one of the Greatest Songs of All Time. Still, I can't help but recall a time when life seemed so much simpler than today's run amok and often crazed age. Actually, its rather tragic considering that psychopathological behavior is increasingly viewed as the new norm in many societies today. Even so, I'm thankful that I was fortunate enough to grow up during a time when listening to the Everly Brothers on a Panasonic transistor radio or standing up for a noble cause was the zeitgeist of the day. R.I.P. Phil Everly. You were surely one of a kind! :(

[@tonytrotta9322]

We saw Dion Dimucci (2) times in Rochester, Michigan at Meadow Brook on the Oakland University campus by the Dodge Mansion in the 1990's & he put on a great concert! We sat right up front about 5 rows back. Also, at the concert were the great Everly Brothers! What a show for they did all their hits! They were real show men for they always dress great!

[@DMVawter]

A giant, and by appearances (and what I've read over the years) a gentleman. Maybe one more Everlys record isn't too much to ask?

[@rosariotoralti6014]

So happy one of your good memories was in Liverpool my home town. Sadly I never saw them.

[@SidneySantosJoaquim]

Rip phil.....

[@BUTTER_THE_BOI]

I screem no no no he's not a performing seal. Leave him be.

[@BUTTER_THE_BOI]

That’s exactly what I thought.

[@christinagreco7335]

He definitely didn't want to sing

[@CalebAchsah]

Don said that Phil had just stopped smoking in 2004 about ten years before he died in 2014. This interview was two years before Phil passed. His COPD was already causing pain and he could not have harmonized or sung anything at all because his breath was gone. The interviewer may not have known about the illness, but he should have sensed Phil's reluctance.
