FIRST TIME REACTING TO Everly Brothers (LIVE) 1960

[@jameshartsfield2228]

I noticed in the comments that no one mentioned that the Everly Brothers were original inductees into The Rock And Roll Hall of Fame.

Warren Zevon worked and toured with the Everly Brothers as their piano player. In fact Phil Everly suggested that Warren write a song using the line “Werewolf of London”....and the rest as they say...is history.

So happy you discovered the Everlys. At one time they were as big as Elvis. Don and Phil were brothers, two years apart in age. Their father was Ike Everly, a country singer and radio host. The boys got their start singing old time country harmonies on their father's show ... try "Kentucky". They had hit after hit ... among my favorites are "Til I Kissed You", and "So Sad".

There is a clip of them with their father from the Johnny Cash Show.

They sound almost identical. When Phil sings the second verse his voice is indistinguishable. But then he goes into his ethereal high harmonies. They have catchy songs but their secret ingredient is how well they harmonize.

Classic! Golden oldies as they said back in the seventies and eighties. The Everly Brothers scored their first hit in 1957 with "Bye Bye Love." They came to the party with Elvis Presley. The Righteous Brothers arrived seven years later. Check out some of these Everly Brothers classics when you can: "When Will I Be Loved," "Til I Kissed You," "Cryin in the Rain," "Wake Up Little Susie," "Love Hurts" and many others.

[@joycehosaflook3755]

These Everly Brothers were only 21 and 23, Don on the left was older. One on 1937 and 1939. I still have their 45 records. These were my heart throbs being 10 years their junior. I loved them. Still do! BTW the 3 backup guys are the Crickets that used to back up Buddy Holly before his death. I do remember that also. I was roller skating at the roller rink when the we heard the news. We were devastated of course. I grew up as a teenager with all of these super talented heart throbs with pure talent. These guys were really singing and this sounded exactly like their recorded record. Amazing. The mid 20th century was a great time to be a teenager.

[@carlajeangilliland70]

Hey it's the 77 year old grandma, I was in my senior year in high school when this was recorded. Oh yes these guys were great, they were considered country singers back then but young people in those days loved, rock, country, folk music, we loved it all. Their harmony I believe was the greatest not only because they could harmonize, but as brothers their voices blended so well. Listen to more of their music, so good.

#EverlyBrothers Yes! They are most definitely Brothers. Known for great vocal harmony. Everly brothers influenced The Beatles, notice the similarities between, say, "Wake Up Little Susie" and the early Beatles music. The Everly brothers are my cousins, for real. Back in the 1970s, Everly Brothers genealogists from Kentucky came to my Grandparents and Great-Aunts in Maryland to ask about our branch of the family. My second cousin that I grew up around would pass for Don Everlys brother. He was also a talented musician who could pick up any instrument and play it, without lessons. I toured Europe with a singing group and sung with rock bands, and I do believe there is a talent gene that runs through some families.

Don (dark hair, right) was lead and Phil (light hair, left) was harmonizer. As siblings they had their negative times. Phil has passed now and Don said that he felt Phil could read him - they didn't have to look at each other to be together. Watch them do a live performance of "Love Hurts" and watch them look at each other. The song is meant for lovers but it did apply to them as well.
