My first paid gigs were back in the 70s with my Dad's band covering Everly Brothers numbers like Cathy's Clown, and All I Have to Do is Dream. Dad died a couple of years ago so very poignant for me.

BobVbass Posted January 4, 2014 Share Posted January 4, 2014 Sad news, fantastic songs and a great talent; there's a few Everlys songs in the set list of the band I'm playing with tonight and I enjoy them every time. RIP Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BetaFunk Posted January 4, 2014 Share Posted January 4, 2014 (edited) Sad news indeed. The Everly Brothers produced the most wonderful harmonies that were probably only equalled by the Beach Boys in the history of pop music. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NaIpXdo4KvE Edited January 4, 2014 by BetaFunk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dingus Posted January 4, 2014 Share Posted January 4, 2014 Those classic Everly Brothers records still sound great today, but back when they came out they must have sounded amazing. No wonder then that the Everly Brothers have become one of the most influential acts in the history of rock and roll, considering the effect they had on the generations of musicians that came after them. Lennon and McCartney were huge fans,for instance, as were countless other musicians, songwriters and producers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

casapete Posted January 4, 2014 Share Posted January 4, 2014 (edited) Gutted. Saw The Everlys a couple of times when they were over here, (with Albert Lee on guitar) and they were amazing. Their influence was massive as stated in previous posts. RIP Phil.
