I am a big fan. It is so sad. But their music will live on forever…

[@davidmurray2539]

One half of the greatest duo in the history of American rock/pop music. With many years of appreciation for vocal harmonies there have only been three sets of musicians who have moved me to realize I'd never hear anything more sublime: The Everly Bros. singing just about anything, Gene Clark, Jim McGuinn, David Crosby on those early Byrds albums, and Gary Louis/Mark Olsen on the first two Jayhawks albums. RIP in peace Don and Phil. Tears tell me you've enriched my life greatly.

[@rogerbyroncollins7204]

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!

So so sad to hear of Don’s pass. No other duo comes close.

[@johnnyv.5142]

Even as preteen, I remember appreciating the rich harmonies of the Everly Brothers!

[@TJHPlate]

The EVs will stay forever as classic popmusic

[@TJHPlate]

and they'll fly 'OnThe Wings Of A Nightingale' RIP brothers...

[@michaelcilia501]

R.I.P. Don and Phil.💒⛪️💐💐. Loved all of their biggest hit singles they’ve sang and performed. Now they just reunite in heaven with each other. R.I.P. Amen. Peace.🙏🏻😨😥😓

[@sueadt8421]

I’ve always been a fan - I remember so well when I was 10 & they came out with “Wake up little Susie” & I loved that song (their first #1 hit)!!! They leave us fans with beautiful music!!! ❤️❤️❤️

[@michealrobinson2642]

Me too I really enjoyed their music alot , Hope you don’t mind if we share more about Great musicians of our time ??

[@Epressroom]

RIP Mr Icon of rock and roll.

[@darylparker2609]

The everly brothers loved them saw many times

[@damionwhitlock6667]

There'll never be the sound that can mimic or duplicate Don & Phil ............The Everly Brothers.

[@jjs490]

The Beatles Loved The Everly Brothers , they were a big influence on John and Paul. They're harmonies were so great, timeless.

[@normangabbard8816]

RIP Don.. Fly Brother.. Fly..

[@Meg-wq1gl]

It was thanks to my late father I found out about the everly brothers he was into them he used to joke about the song When can I meet her laughing saying it sounded like me of course it wasn't but that was dad. Dry humour. Rest in peace Don hope you and Phil have reunited. Still love your music it'll rock and roll on for years to come.

[@ma.victoriavargas4268]

Rest in peace, Don and Phil.

[@milanas.4666]

May their Legacy continue to live on, Do you mind if we share more about Great musicians of our time ? Greetings from LA

[@statesresearcher]

Both were in with Harlan Sanders--all three were Kentucky Colonels. RIP!

[@rosiedebevc1952]

Rest in Peace.

[@GoldTop57]

My dad spoke with him Tuesday at the hospital. He was talkative and they spoke about writing, etc. He was on oxygen, but in good spirits. Crazy it was only a few days later.

[@EB84]

Thank you for sharing this is interesting to read as him and Adela were very private.

[@GoldTop57]

@@EB84 Yes that’s what I’ve heard. His wife was there also. My dad took one last photo with he and Don together, but we certainly can’t share it on social media or anything. That just wouldn’t be right.

[@kiltedwolf2]

It sounds like your father had a special relationship with Don. It's common knowledge that Don Everly was a very private individual who became more secluded as he aged. Longtime guitarist and collaborator Albert Lee would often comment on the EB Facebook page that he wished he could get through to Don but couldn't. He was very disappointed. Yet, we all deserve the privacy we seek. I'm sure your dad will keep his memory in his heart. I grew up with Everly brothers music. It directed my musical tastes from the first time I heard "Wake up Little Suzy". What a life. Both of them gave the world a gift that will keep on giving forever.

[@GoldTop57]

@@kiltedwolf2 You’re absolutely correct on all counts. They are as legendary as any musical artist has ever been in my book. Dad will certainly treasure being able to speak with him that close to the end. But he also told me it’s a little troubling knowing that photo they took together might be the very last one of Don alive, or one of the last ones. Of course there’s no telling if he had any photos with his family in those last few days. But we’ll all focus on how he lived, and what he gave. That legacy will last past all of us. That’s for sure.

[@ruthkahler6334]

I’ve always wanted to ask about your dad’s experience talking with Don. I heard he was dismissed but later came back. Was his wife with him? I’m so glad for his music.

R.I.P.

[@stevestunningsteve3450]

R.i.p.Don Everly..his music 🎶 will live on both Don&Phil made a ton of great music .check out a cool 😎 and amazing remix thats old fashion done by Joey The Hatt Dj Jimmy here on KZbin its amazing. Its a sad year for music and earlier this year we lost Johnny Crawford. And in June I lost my stepdad 2021 took too many lives and its a year that I will always hate.

[@sergeantmasson3669]

They perfected the reverse guitar chords picking that they learned from Chet Atkins.

I have never been this early

[@jimkreider9997]

I hate that all our really great performers are dying off. All we have now is pure trash.

[@patriciaeddy7629]

Actually, Everly Brothers were as much country as they were Rock&Roll.

[@sergeantmasson3669]

Yes and Chet Atkins launched their career.

[@zachsmith3]

1:16 and they reunited from 1983 to 2005... Kind of obvious fact to leave out

[@kathlinetaylor8526]

Ok Michael Robinson yes ok we can share

[@tosa_young720]

R.I.P Don. Everly Brothers are certainly great. However, there are great singers in Japan as well. Their names are Tatsuro Yamashita and Mariya Takeuchi. The two are a married couple. kzbin.info/www/bejne/bajKnoFsnZarraM
