RIP Phil Everly of the Everly Brothers
I know some of you guys know of these guys.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=US49tQbYsg0 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hpgo3Lkns5s Singer Phil Everly -- half of legendary Everly Brothers -- dies At 74 years. Probably not so bad for a lifetime cigarette smoker. That's the Crickets (Buddy Holly's band) backing them up in both of these videos, btw. |
I heard the news first from the BBC, and I gather they were at least as popular in England as they were here. Their influence on the early Beatles stuff is unmistakable.
|
I was a small kid when they performed at the West Texas Fair. I went with my teenage brother and sister. I think I was perhaps eight or nine. I remember them singing "Bird Dog".
|
A class act. My first ever LP was The Fabulous Style of the Everly Brothers.
I read that they were persuaded to work on their harmonies as kids by the promise of bikes from their dad. |
Sad to lose one of the Everly Brothers, I love their music. So smooth and crisp, whether it was a slow ballad or a faster metered number they always had nice tight arrangements.
|
The Everly Brothers were a huge influence on pretty much everyone in rock and country rock, from the Beatles to Keith Richards to Gram Parsons.
This is the main one I remember them by. |
Possibly the best harmonizing group ever.
They influenced a ton of following artists with their sound, we will forever be grateful. RIP Phil. |
RIP Phil. We are starting to lose the musicians to whom we listened as we grew up.
