The Everly Brothers "Gone, Gone, Gone" & "Cathy's Clown"

[@SpeegBJ]

Good night they're good-looking!

[@suzannelawson9215]

Especially love, "Gone, Gone, Gone" Great song with that Buddy Holly influence. Oh, Don & Phil so extremely talented and cute to boot.

[@mabeldurocher2258]

I have loved , adored and enjoyed The Everly Brothers for just over 60 years .. their music still cuddles my heart !

[@andyinoregon]

Just shows how dominant the British Invasion was in late 1964, when an original song as good as "Gone, Gone, Gone" by The Everly Brothers couldn't become a hit -- but over 40 years later an almost identical arrangement by Alison Krauss and Robert Plant becomes a world-wide phenomenon. Sometimes timing is everything.

[@gailcromie4476]

Kisses and love sent to them both in Heaven. Heartbroken 💔💔 Forever missed and loved..Phil and Don. Xx

[@OtisFan1]

Yesterday I cried for hours after learning of Phil's passing. They were my first "favorite artist" and always my favorite duo. As many have said, they taught a generation how to sing harmony. It took me 50 years to notice that Phil always stayed a little farther from the mike than Don, so his higher harmony part wouldn't overpower Don's melody. Glad that Phil lived to see the unique tribute of an entire album of theirs (1958 folk collection "Songs Our Daddy Taught Us") being covered, cleverly named "Foreverly" by Billie Joe Armstrong and Norah Jones. Phil was pleased with it. Now Phil is harmonizing in heaven with Jim Reeves, Patsy Cline, Roy Orbison, Sam Cook, Otis Redding and so many others we've lost. Prayers to the family.

[@terryshoemaker8570]

As I did not Know Phil I was surprised that I cried as if I had lost a brother the day he died. Now I know I was not the only one... I know How you felt that sad day.

Incredible guitar playing in " Gone, Gone, Gone".

[@sammccue500]

Louise... James Burton's Telecaster on the recording.

[@rickmorrow993]

Man they had great harmonies. And their songs have withstood the test of time gaining new fans long after they stopped performing together. I heard Gone, Gone, Gone on the radio today and it keeps playing in my head. And followed by Kathy's Clown in this video, I am reminded of a close friend who moved in with his girlfriend named Kathy for a year or two about 45 years ago. After he moved out he made mention of being Kathy;s Clown.

[@gailcromie4476]

Two beautiful souls. 💖💖

[@suzannelawson9215]

Phil said their Gibson guitar were around $290.00. Wow! Can you imagine the value of their guitars today?

They both had truly beautiful voices

[@BCNbananas]

gone, gone, gone is a gooooood song

[@michaelclark4043]

This is one of those songs I can listen to 100 times and not get tired of it.

[@swimlaps1]

Their harmonies on my mom's radio - remembr since age 2! Phil caught my attention as a child, then Don later..

[@sauquoit13456]

On this day in 1964 {October 14th} the Everly Brothers performed "Gone, Gone, Gone” on another ABC-TV program, 'Shindig!'… At the time it was at #98 on Billboard’s Hot Top 100 chart, it had entered the chart only three days earlier on October 11th, 1964, eight weeks later on December 6th, 1964 it peaked at #31 {for 1 week} and spent a total of 10 weeks on the Top 100... R.I.P. Jimmy O'Neill {Shindig's host, 1940 -2013}...

[@bartleywalton1888]

Wasn't one of their biggest hits but one of my favorites & one of their last hits

[@Tonithenightowl]

These guys were so great !!! Its a harmony that only comes from BLOOD.

[@johnthompson3664]

Sibling harmony is hard beat the Statler brothers were a testament to this fact even though only two members were actually brothers . One member was a cousin . Greatest quartet there ever was . Not to take away anything from the duet of the Everly's .

[@tonithenightowl1836]

@@johnthompson3664 I hear ya we could say that about the Bee Gees, Beach Boys, Osmond's, Jackson 5, Cowsills and other family related groups. However, I don't remember a brother duo as famous as the Everly's. :o)

[@gbr63]

Nice of Dick Clark to interview a couple guys from Shenandoah, Iowa! Don and Phil were the sons of Ike and Margaret Everly, who were live performers on KMA radio in Shenandoah in the 1940's and 50's. The brothers performed live on KMA on Christmas Day, 1946. Sad that both Phil and Dick are gone now! RIP!!

[@sammccue500]

gbr63... Don was born in Brownie, KY and Phil was born in Cook County Hospital in Chicago. To say their parents 'got around' would be an understatement.

I was gasing up an 8n ford tractor when I first heard this in 1960. I was listening to a station out of Martin, Tn. I was fixin' to plow with a 2 breaker blade...cool!

[@milesfromneworleans]

Legends!

[@TomElvisSmith]

As you mention in the desription, "Gone Gone Gone" was a huge change in style for the Everlys. They were struggling to stay on the charts by this time and the song adapts more of a British hard driving style. The change didn't work and the Everlys didn't have any more big hits until "Bowling Green" brought a brief minor comeback in the late '60's. I think it's a good idea to start a new channel for any post '65 music because the music and society really changed after the British invasion.

[@belovia50]

Thanks for sharing this delight. So sweet. Love it! *****.

[@fenderbender534]

First learned of Gone, Gone Gone from my wife's Ventures Record (Knock Me Out) and I really like their instrumental version. Loved Allison Krause and Robert Plant's video version, didn't at first realize it was the same song, then a light bulb went off. Then I learned the Everlys wrote it, love the Everlys.

[@sammccue500]

fenderbender534... Written by 'the boys' in a dressing room outside of Salt Lake City in 1964.

[@russellcrawford7453]

DAVE EDMUNDS AND ROCKPILE OWE THEIR CAREER TO THE SOUND OF GONE GONE GONE !!!

[@dpeatebc7265]

This song was significant in that it represented a turning of the tables. The Beatles copied and were inspired by the Everly Brothers and here the Everly Brothers come out with a song that sounds inspired by the Beatles and the Mersey Beat sound.

[@sangell3]

Yep, I remember it well. I thought the Everly Brothers had had about enough of the Beatles and decided to put 'beat' back into American R'nR'. Alas few heard 'Gone,gone, gone". At least until almost 50 years later. Cool song then and Don and Phil were masters of their craft.

[@atarenwick6243]

Good show. Guests of honor. Dick Clark interviewed the artists. I saw one clip with Roosevelt Grier where he did this too.

At 3:10, "Oh, a little under $300", yeah RIGHT------Checked out the price of one of these lately? "IF" you can FIND one, (J-185 'EVERLY)!!!!!! Probably ought to steer clear of any mid. 80's models though, Gibson's Q.C. was pretty much in the "Dumpster" around that time, (of COURSE the PRICE wasn't)!!

one of those guitars will cost you 10 grand now. don gave his original one to albert lee, its worth millions now

[@sammccue500]

rockhard... Albert has one of the black J-220s given to him by Don. There were also two pearl grey (now greenish due to fading) as well as the original sunbursts. The black "Everly" models were scaled down, about an inch all around, from the J-220s

[@rockhard2654]

j-185s i believe the model number is.correct me if im wrong

[@josephallwood3681]

The original "Everly Guitars" were Gibson J-200's, the Everly Brothers model was based on the J-185, which is somewhat smaller overall than the J-200.

[@35diamondgirl]

I really love this song, but they're lip syncing to the record (as do all American Bandstand performers) . "Gone, Gone, Gone" was only a moderate hit in the USA--it rose much higher on the charts in the UK, I think). I enjoyed the interview about the guitars.
