The Everly Brothers - Bye Bye Love (Shindig, Nov 18, 1964)

Don (b. Isaac Donald Everly, 1 February 1937, Brownie, Kentucky, USA) and Phil (b. Phillip Everly, 19 January 1939, Chicago, Illinois, USA), the world's most famous rock 'n' roll duo, had already experienced a full career before their first record, "Bye Bye Love', was released. As sons of popular country artists Ike and Margaret, they were pushed into the limelight from an early age. They regularly appeared on their parents" radio shows throughout the 40s and accompanied them on many tours. In the mid-50s, as rockabilly was evolving into rock 'n' roll, the boys moved to Nashville, the mecca for such music. In 1957 they were given a Felice and Boudleaux Bryant song that was finding difficulty being placed. They took "Bye Bye Love' and made it their own; it narrowly missed the US number 1 position and reached number 6 in the UK. The brothers then embarked on a career that made them second only to Elvis Presley in the rock 'n' roll popularity stakes.
They quickly followed this initial success with more irresistible Bryant songs, "Wake Up Little Susie", "All I Have To Do Is Dream", "Bird Dog", "Problems", "So Sad" and the beautiful "Devoted To You". The brothers were supremely confident live performers, both with their trademark Gibson Dove and later, black J50 guitars. By the end of the 50s they were the world's number 1 vocal group. Amazingly, their career gained further momentum when, after signing with the newly formed Warner Brothers Records for $1 million, they delivered a song that was catalogued WB1. This historical debut was the superlative "Cathy's Clown", written by Don. No Everly record had sounded like this before; the echo-laden production and the treble-loaded harmonies ensured that it stayed at number 1 in the USA for five weeks. The brothers continued to release immaculate records; many of them reached the US Top 10, although in England their success was even greater, with two further number 1 hits during 1961. Again the echo and treble dominated in two more classics, "Walk Right Back" and a fast-paced reworking of the former Bing Crosby hit "Temptation." Don became dependent on drugs, and the pressures from constant touring and recording began to show; during one historic night at London's East Ham Granada, England, a nervous Phil performed solo. The standard "food poisoning/exhaustion" excuse was used. What was not known by the doting fans was that Don had attempted a suicidal drug overdose twice in 48 hours. Phil completed the tour solo. Don's addiction continued for another three years, although they were able to work during part of this time.
The advent of the beat boom pushed the brothers out of the spotlight and while they continued to make hit records, none approached their previous achievements. The decline was briefly halted in 1965 with two excellent major UK hits, "The Price Of Love" and "Love Is Strange". The former, a striking chart-topper, recalled their early Warner sound, while the latter harked back even earlier, with a naïve but infectious call-and-answer spoken segment. In 1966 they released Two Yanks In England, a strong album that contained eight songs by Nash/Clarke/Hicks of the Hollies; surprisingly, the album failed to chart. The duo were recognized only for their superb singles, and many of their albums were less well-received. Stories We Could Tell, recorded with an array of guest players, threatened to extend their market into the rock mainstream, but it was not to be. After a few years of declining fortunes and arrival at the supper-club circuit, the brothers parted acrimoniously. Following a show at Knotts Berry Farm, California, in 1973, during which a drunken Don had insulted Phil, the latter walked off, smashed one of his beloved Gibsons and vowed, "I will never get on a stage with that man again". The only time they met over the next 10 years was at their father's funeral.
In 1986 they were inducted into the Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame and the following year Phil gave Don a pound of gold and a handmade guitar for his 50th birthday. They now perform regularly together, with no pressure from record companies. Don lives quietly in Nashville and tours with his brother for a few months every year. The Everly Brothers" influence on a generation of pop and rock artists is inestimable; they set a standard for close harmony singing that has rarely been bettered and is still used as a blueprint for many of today's harmony vocalists. They were elected into the Country Music Hall of Fame in 2001. ~www.cmt.com/art...

So many memories evoked when listening once again to the unique brotherly harmonizing of the Everlys! . A fact: The Beatles were known as the "English Everlys" in their British beginnings.

[@RealPeterGunn]

The host of "Shindig" was none other than the legendary Jimmy O’Neill. Some say he was the only competition to Dick Clark back in the day. In fact, back in the 60s he was so loved and famous that the Flintstones had an episode featuring Jimmy. His name in that episode was "Jimmy O’Neillstone". I met and knew him real well when he was a DJ in Omaha, Ne at KOIL-AM. The staff of DJs back then were known as the KOIL "Good Guys"! Jimmy passed in 2013 but for me, he is still alive in so many songs I hear..Yes, this video is about the Everly Brothers, but, it is just as much about the immortal Jimmy O'Neill and those days when he walked this earth as a giant in the industry!!

[@Gr8Layks]

Good comment. Interesting!

[@quiltinspiration650]

Jim O'Neill was an outstanding talent and a fantastic d.j. He was indeed the only competition to Dick Clark. He had the # 1 rated show on KRLA Los Angeles before he went to KOIL Omaha. He will always be loved and remembered. He left us way too soon, and I really miss him.

i dont think the Beatles r a good comparison to the Everly Bros. The Bee Gees were. they were bros, Barry, Robin, and Maurice (Andy briefly). they took their inspiration from the Everly's. Its easier to harmonize being brothers, but you still have to be good, and the Everly's and Bee Gees were certainly that !!
