My husband passed away 10 years ago and the night before he passed we went to Karaoke and he never sang before. He put me in a chair in front of him and he across from me. He sang "Let it be Me" and I will by the Beatles..........I cry every time I hear these 2 songs..thank you from my heart for posting this

What a lovely story Joanne, Your husband obviously had great musical taste. There is nothing wrong with shedding a tear when you hear these songs. Emotion, is a big part of loving music. RIP for your husband.

Both brothers had beautiful voices, no other duo had a more perfect blend. All their songs had wonderful harmonies, they watched each others faces closely so as to be spot on with their timing. Their harmonizing is iconic.

[@retroactive1autrey668]

I grew up listening to them, and I'm still gobsmacked every time I hear them again. They sang like birds, or angels.

[@MrRondonmon]

This was like the first time they had sung together in 10 years, they got angry at each other after a show in the 70s and didn't speak to each other for like 10 years. So, them looking at each other was probably them saying I'm sorry brother, it was petty, I love you.

[@damonhines8187]

Yes, thank you for articulating it clearly. 👍😘🎶

It's fascinating the way members of a family sound like each other whether talking or singing...some vocal quality they share that is unmistakably identifiable. When my brother answers the phone, I hear our dad's voice. Dad's been gone 19 years now and I still hear it. The Everly Brothers were the best singing example of that I've ever heard.

A huge influence on the Beatles. Paul McCartney mentions the Everly Brothers in his Wings song, "Let 'Em In": "Sister Suzie, brother John, Martin Luther, Phil and Don." The Everly Brothers had a song called "Keep A Knockin,'" about NOT letting someone in...surely "Let Em In" was inspired by that song.
