[Music] RIP Don Everly

[Ooh it’s a corner]

If anyone wants to appreciate brilliant singing in harmony the Everly Brothers are widely recognised as amongst the very best
RIP Don

 

[Is it PotG?]

Probably the best voice combo ever.

A perfect foil for each other, RIP.

 

[flint]

Wonderful songs and harmonies
RIP

I saw them supporting Simon and Garfunkel back in 2004. Both were fantastic. RIP Don.

RIP.

Before my time, but this melodious beauty was possibly my favourite song as a nipper (Dad playing R1). Stunning vocals.

 

[Psychobilly freakout]

R.I.P Don.

Not my cup of coffee, my dad loved them and went to see them several times.
Wonder if the brothers made up before Phil died about 7 years ago ?
I know they hated each other in later life.

 

[GT49er]

Some wonderful songs, beautiful harmonies with little brother Phil - songs that were great fun to play as well as listen to. RIP.

 

[studio150]

Influenced so many in terms of harmony and some great songs - Bye Bye Love, Wake Up Little Susie, Cathy's Clown....

RIP

 

[Perfidious Albion]

Sad news . Wonderful harmonies and hummable tunes. They were a big part of the backdrop to my youth. I saw them on a come back tour at Brighton Centre , I guess in the nineties.. they were excellent. ( remember they had a terrific tour band backing them too)

 

[Knocky's Nose]

My Mum used to play their albums on repeat when I was a kid, so I ended up bloody hating them.

However, as I'm a lot older now, I can appreciate a good voice - so RIP Donald. Sorry for calling you all those names when I was eight years old.

I know they hated each other in later life.

I understand they did eventually make up before Phil died.

 

[Thunder Bolt]

Cathy’s Clown was the first track I fell in love with. I tried to sing the tune, then tried the harmony. Another part of my youth gone.

 

[Gwylan]

Anyone remember a charity cricket match at the County Ground in the 70s when one of the brothers played? I can't remember if it was Don or Phil but, whichever it was, he looked suitably inept. Fair play though, he took it in good spirit.

They weren't my cup of tea but their harmonies were fabulous.

RIP
