May his memory be eternal.

[@VinnyDrysdale]

Don Everly's face looks so young, he looks like a young man pretending to be an old man. What a voice, what a legend. RIP Don

[@fayemarshall7102]

couldnt help tears thankyou Ricky for makeing it so special for Don . now hes gone

Thanks for watching Faye…..Joe

R.I.P Don Everly. Still inspiring guitar players all these years later. Now how many people can say that? Thoughts and prayers to his family. 🙏

[@mysticmaverick1]

Even with his cane, Don still has a youthful spirit about him here. I paid my respects to the Everly Brothers the other day in Central City, KY. Saw their monument at the music museum, drove down Everly Brothers Blvd., then visited the cemetery. There's a large Everly headstone, one for Ike, father of Don and Phil; one for Mary, daughter of Don's who was born and passed away on the same day in 1957. I got tears in my eyes when I saw the marker for Phil, who passed in 2014. I put a rose on each marker. I did not see a marker for Don. May their memories be eternal! Amazingly, Margaret Everly at 102 has outlived her husband and sons.

[@mvmmotovlogmusic2815]

Life is Short. Art is Long. RIP Don Everly.

[@gns423]

I met the Everly Brothers when they performed at Blossom Music Center in Cuyahoga Falls, Ohio south of Cleveland in1986. It was after their show at their hotel. Both men tired from performing, they graciously made time for us, signing autographs and talking with us for about 15 minutes. Two of the nicest gentlemen I’ve ever met. I will never forget them or their music. Thank you Don and Phil for the memories and the music. R. I. P.

The brothers set the bar for pop harmonies. They did it right, they perfected it.Every word in Paul Simon’s letter must be emphasized, there is not one word that is an overstatement. History shows us, their music has had a more fundamental and deeper effect that we we were aware from their humble beginnings! LONG LIVE THE EVERLY BROTHERS!!!❤️❤️❤️❤️

Don looks wonderful. You can see his beautiful cheekbones again. For some years he was a bit heavier

[@christianman73]

The Everly Brothers' harmonies are so beautiful. I listen to all kinds of music, from '50s and ''60s rock, to soul music and jazz, and even some of the hardest, heaviest metal, but the Everly Brothers' vocals and music have a *special, sacred place* in my heart! Those two men were *born to sing together* with amazing talent on loan from God Himself! Rest in peace, Don Everly! You will be so missed!

[@glorycloud1177]

This is" ALL ABOUT (( YOU )) ♥️ Don Everly ... No other ' names ' to MENTION! And THANK YOU So. ⚘ Mr. Everly..

[@jimbohnenkamp5082]

We're close to the Everly Brothers here in Iowa where I live. One hundred and thirty-three miles away, they cut their performance teeth at a little radio station KMA in Shenandoah, Iowa in the early 50's. After that, they hit the big time and the rest is history. The guys playing on this video really showed what professional musicians can do.

Bless his heart, this made me cry. RIP to both Don and Phil , legends and icons , an inspiration to many . Their harmonies are effortless, just like The Bee Gees . Very humble , genuine. Don and Phil will be missed.

[@delstanley1349]

Glad Don got this award while he was alive. I didn't realize his mother Margaret was still alive! She is 102. He thanked his wife and sister in law, but didn't mention his mother, and I was wondering why. Looks like there were some family issues re a house transfer and that perhaps left some hard feeling, don't know. Anyway, I'll thank his mother for having him and Phil, I still enjoy their music today as well as back in the day when it was first born some 60+ ya.

[@billbrimmer1739]

At 82 you might forget a few things. I’m sure Don unintentionally forgot to mention his Mom. RIP Don and Phil.

[@delstanley1349]

@@billbrimmer1739 Maybe, maybe not. I found that she filed a law suit against Don about taking over ownership of a house Don and Phil gifted to her long ago. IRS had to get involved. Phil signed over his stake in the home to her, but Don did not. So, there may have been some long standing issues after all between mother and son, and it might not be just some oversight due to age, just saying.

It was a great video but sad to see him so frail and walking with a cane. Rest In Peace Don. One of my guitar influences for certain. That’s a fun riff to play too.

[@sequencerman5]

Yes, he seemed to get frail really quick. And, what was it with the huge scarf draped around him constantly? He was clearly suffering from some malady. Anyway, I too would like to say that both Don and Phil played a huge part of my life at a time when I was an up and coming musician. Also, while referring to guitar riffs, don't let us forget that wonderful intro to Bye, Bye Love. I challenge anyone to listen to it RIGHT NOW and not go "Wow!"

Hi Jennifur….. actually I didn’t have a chance to interview either Don or Phil. Phil was kind enough to perform at our induction concert for the Crickets since they were the Everly’s band too after Buddy passed but for some reason I didn’t ask Phil back in 2008. Don use to shop in my Nashville guitar shop back in the later 90’s. At the time I had never dreamed of founding the MHOF. Best, Joe

What a super video Joe thank you so much as l was so sad to learn of Don s passing. I was privileged to meet Phil and Don after their concert at the Spektrum Oslo Norway on 24 July 2004 when they appeared with Simon and Garfunkel in concert. I had the greatest pleasure having seen them previously at the Royal Albert Hall London on September 23 1983. I had followed their music closely since my early days at Grammar School in England from 1957. Together with the Byrds and the Moody Blues they were my all time favourites and they will be sadly missed but their music lives on. A brilliant duo!

I visited the Musicians Hall of Fame last week and highly recommend it to everyone. Interactive exhibits allow visitors to participate in making music and writing songs and the displays of recording studios, instruments, costumes, album covers and other music memorabilia are outstanding. The greeter, a musician, was friendly, knowledgeable and asked visitors where they had travelled from. Had a great time.
