The Everly Brothers - Live concert 1984 • TopPop

August 21, 2021.
Don Everly, 84, passed away at his home in Nashville. He formed the legendary rock and roll duo The Everly Brothers with his brother Phil. Together they had worldwide hits in the late 50s and early 60s with "Bye bye love" and "All I have to do is dream". In 1984 on their comeback they scored the top10 hit "On the wings of a nightingale", written by Paul McCartney.
The Everly Brothers were an American country-influenced rock and roll duo, known for steel-string acoustic guitar playing and close harmony singing. Consisting of Isaac Donald "Don" Everly (born February 1, 1937 - August 21, 2021) and Phillip "Phil" Jason Everly (January 19, 1939 - January 3, 2014), the duo was raised in a musical family, first appearing on radio singing along with their father Ike Everly and mother Margaret Everly as "The Everly Family" in the 1940s. When the brothers were still in high school, they gained the attention of prominent Nashville musicians like Chet Atkins, who began to groom them for national attention.
They began writing and recording their own music in 1956, and their first hit song came in 1957, with "Bye Bye Love", written by Felice and Boudleaux Bryant. The song hit number 1 in the spring of 1957, and additional hits would follow through 1958, many of them written by the Bryants, including "Wake Up Little Susie", "All I Have to Do Is Dream", and "Problems". In 1960, they signed with the major label Warner Bros. Records and recorded "Cathy's Clown", written by the brothers themselves, which was their biggest selling single. The brothers enlisted in the United States Marine Corps Reserve in 1961, and their output dropped off, though additional hit singles continued through 1962, with "That's Old Fashioned (That's the Way Love Should Be)" being their last top-10 hit.
In October 1984 the Everly Brothers visited the Netherlands to headline the annual Dutch television show 'AVRO's Platengala'. Their single 'On The Wings Of A Nightingale' reached its highest position of #4 in the in the Dutch Top 10 on that very day, 13 October 1984. Their album 'EB'84' was on its way to the 6th position in the Album top 100 and achieved the gold status.
This performance was taped at the AVRO Platen Gala, 13 October 1984 recorded live in the Ahoy Hall, Rotterdam, The Netherlands.

I’m an old soul! I’m also 53! I grew up listening to my mom sing these songs while she ironed dad’s work shirts. Wow anyone still iron out there? Mom would have been 82 yo, but she passed earlier in the year. Man, I can’t stop crying. These two had the most beautiful harmonizing I think I’ve ever heard. Mom loved these two and so did I! Miss mom as I try to relive those great old days. Peace everyone.

I am eighty now, and can't listen to them without having to wipe my eyes. In 1960, a friend and I performed three of their songs to an audience of about seven hundred in the southern part of the Netherlands, where I grew up.

I'm 75 & also remember them. I loved listening to them. We had an old Victrola.. one of my favorite songs was Bird Dog. I saved my money to buy a 45 & one day my brother put in on the edges of the Victrola & slammed the top down.

I have loved the Everly Brothers since 1959 when I was 13 years old 🌹love all their songs 🌹🌺😜💕

[@Martiniization]

Straight from God, the Everly brothers, in music, were saintly. By the way, that's Albert Lee on the lead guitar.

[@Rob_430]

I just turned 77 and still listening to the Everly Brothers now as I did in the late 50’s. There was a lull for me with type of music afterwards listening to them, but now I do, and brings back an era when things were different, simpler and fun.

[@desgardner7169]

I am always a teenager again when I hear these two guys! R.I.P Don and Phil.

[@luisrodriquez6358]

In 1973 I was dating my wife before we got married. I surprise her with tickets to see the Everly Brothers in concert in Fresno. Just a few weeks before the concert date, Don and Phil Everly broke up the act and we were left with tickets in hand that I had to get a refund on them. We were both very disappointed.

[@carmenj.hernandez7812]

The Everly brothers, the best! Beautiful singers. God bless them!✌💓💞💓

[@Bob-yl9pm]

Everly Brothers have the most romantic music! And the best vocals!

[@yesterdayproductions1019]

Nobody could sing better together than the Everly Brothers. In addition, They had a great band & Don Everly was a great rhythm guitarist.

[@michaelsnyder2588]

Don,t forget the BeeGees they were good too back in the 60s til 2022.

[@utatriebel2211]

So toll diesen beiden zuzusehen.❤ Danke dafür, dass man das hier sehen kann.😊 Diese beiden sind ein echter Hör und Augenschmaus.💘

[@darrylevans4401]

Unbelievable harmony from the late and great Don and Phil THE EVERLY Brothers. RIP play them on my internet radio show Classic Soul me the Masterblaster.

[@tomboytomgirl5356]

I'm not late in writing this. Even though it's been 20 days since Don Everly died. I've been very much moved; to say the least. I learned to enjoy The Everly Brothers in early 60s. Even then; as a youngster, I saw the immense talent and awesome beauty in their music. Rest in peace Don and Phil Everly. The magic you created and that lives in me WILL NEVER CEASE. We'll be in the same realm again. In due time. God bless you brothers.

[@teddibryant9889]

To pass their mother((( so sad((

[@teddibryant9889]

I have been following them They are so great & I and sorry for your loss((

[@leftylibber]

They inspired so many great talents. Their songs of the fifties and sixties unforgettable. I met Don at a solo gig in Berkeley, Ca. He was a beautiful warm man, so down to earth, and still a monumental talent.

[@queenberengaria9626]

EB84 album is fabulous! My favourite song: On the Wings of a Nightingale starts here at 15.00 min. Never knew it was written by Paul McCartney!

[@Rose-kd3lr]

They look and sound fantastic in their late 40s.

[@davidhillis3160]

If you're looking here for On The Wings Of A Nightingale, it's at 15:10. It's the best post-Beatles song McCartney ever wrote.

[@Vierotchka]

They filled my teens and my youth with their music in the sixties. Their songs are timeless, they don't grow old.

[@lindagarcia8826]

I'm rediscovering The Everly Brothers after learning their music and harmonizing influenced the Bee Gees in there career. What a big contribution to music were The Everly Brothers and The Bee Gees have been, they both are FANtastic.

[@elisabethanderson8654]

Precisely!

[@elisabethanderson8654]

Oh yes!!

[@77loneranger]

Perfect, seamless harmonies. On a scale of 1 to 100, Don and Phil are a 107.

[@rogerbyroncollins7204]

So sad to learn of Don s passing. 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!

[@jonogren5567]

Copy and paste everywhere?

[@ToddLorencUkuleleMusic]

Wow that’s an awesome thing my friend I’ve never had the privilege to see them live but I loved them all my life.

[@sharonrodriguez9592]

Didn't realize that Don passed just last year They were amazing 🤩

[@mcchaikin]

I stood right next to Phil looking into a shoe store window in Georgetown in 1973. I said hello and he said a few words to me. It was surreal ! What a gorgeous head of hair!

[@judyward5341]

The Everlys’ producer for their LP ‘EB84, Dave Edmunds said: “They just look straight into each other’s eyes and sing. Then for twenty minutes you think this is not going to work or maybe this isn’t the right song, and then suddenly it clicks. It’s like they’re free-falling and suddenly their parachute opens, and when that happens, look out. You’ve never heard singing like it. They’re the best. They’re natural singers, the only natural singers I’ve come across. All the people I’ve worked with, and this includes myself, have learned the musical terms and how to do it but Don and Phil don’t work like that. It’s fascinating to see it. When they hit their stride it’s genius working. It’s two and two equals five and it’s wonderful when it happens.” In another interview he said, “Don and Phil are intuitive singers. People like myself and others that I know in the business who sing...we learned how to do it; we learned how to hold a note, or to control a vibrato, or to count bars so you know when to come in. They never did - it’s all intuitive. Especially with Don - the solo bits he does. If you ask him to do them over and over again, they’ll be completely different each time.”
