Thank you for the expert commentary, Mr. Edmunds. I have often wondered why the Everlys had such a difficult time finding material after they left Cadence and the Bryants. I wish they would have stretched with some Gram Parsons or lesser known west coast material. Or the Stones' "Torn and Frayed," "Factory Girl," e.g. In the analog age, I reckon finding material was much more arduous. Of course, the implications of intellectual property are problematic.

I won't call The Everly's underrated but their influence is often overlooked. They drew up the blueprint for the harmonies of the 1960s. This is especially true for Lennon/McCartney, Simon/Garfunkel, The Hollies, and The Birds. RIP guys. You rocked!

I came to KZbin after Don's passing to look at some videos and came across a few of your analysis clips on the Everly Brothers. After that, I went down the Fil rabbit-hole and watched you break-down performances from a wide array of genres. What struck me most was your joy in the music and your absolute respect when discussing a variety of artists. Your appreciation is infectious. I hope that you do many, many more of these. The Everly Brothers, like many of the artists you discuss, are musical giants meant to be remembered. Thank you for introducing a new generation of fans to this music. Rest in peace, Don and Phil. 💙 (And hoping for much more from, and for, you, Fil.)

I watched a documentary called rock ‘n’ roll odyssey. This was I think in the late 80s. When it was over I had my epiphany and realized how amazing they are, were. I saw them live within two years after that. Within another year I was standing next to them engaging both in conversation in person. Amazing what you can do when you set your mind to something.. They had more charisma than any two people I’ve ever met. It doesn’t surprise me that they had a devoted fan base for decades.

You spoke to BOTH of them at the same time? You are aware they hated each other, correct? Legend has it they wouldn't be in the same room together, much less engage anyone in conversation together. They each came on stage from opposite sides because of this hatred toward each other. Peter and Gordon copied this because they thought it was cool, without knowing the actual reason.

The Everlys were the greatest of live performers. They had incredible vocal dynamics. They played a microphone diaphrem like an instrument. The several times I saw them they were backed by the best studio musicians in Nashville. I thought what a great gig ~ They get to go out three months a year in great touring circumstances . Great venues, the best band imaginable. ~~~ They had Larry Londin on drums, Buddy Emmons on steel, ~~ The whole band were instrumental stars. There was the greatest chicken pickin guitarist. And The Everly Brothers absolutely deserved this great band. They were supported by their peers. They taught John and Paul and Graham and The Hollies and many others to sing as one
@v-g-z36892 жыл бұрын
Their perfection went so far that when Don was singing a note slightly out of key, what occasionally happens even to the best of the best, Phil instantly also sang that note slightly out of key to exactly the same amount so that it would perfectly match Don´s "wrong" note harmony wise. That is incredible, I have no other duo in mind that was able to do that.

Your Reactions are so much true to life since you are a musician too ! you know all of the notes as to where I just enjoy the music and singing . that is why I like how you explain what is going on in the songs . I have always Loved The Everly Brothers I realized they were '' in synch " when they sing but I didn't know about hitting every note like the '' T '' as the example that you used . that there would be 2 split second '' T's '' I think only someone like yourself would hear . but years later I would have heard it after you explained it . But The Everly Brothers were good at what they did they sang as one always hitting the notes at the same time . I can't play a note or sing a note but I know Great Music when I hear it .

It actually became part of our style to go solo in the beginning even when we gigged in other arenas.. I think it's a mark of people who were really professional through the years.. like my drumming daughter tells me it's got to jive to thrive! lol

My family in Muhlenberg Co KY were friends with the Everly family thanks to coal mining connections. I never met them, but they were as kind and friendly as you could imagine. Very sad to see them pass.

I remember these songs but I very young. Heard them and did not think about again. Recently, started seeing their music on KZbin. Their story is fascinating. No silver platter. Hard work. Thanks

For another example of their seamless harmonies Is in Paul Simon’s Graceland single.

A lot of people don't even know the EB do the backing vocals of that song.

Love the Everly Brothers! Their harmonies were out of this world. I think this one of my favorite analyses of yours. And Wake Up Little Susie is such a fun song! Enjoyed this one very much!

Bob Dylan has many influences, including civil war songs. But, early white rock and roll is also a continuing influence he has spoken about. On his first album, “Highway 51 Blues” has the guitar part from Wake Up Little Suzie. That is acknowledged in the liner notes. .

Usually only Don's guitar was amplified, Phil sometimes strummed along but stopped when his vocal got more difficult or intense. I saw them live twice in the nineties and those shows were amazing!
