Phil passed away yesterday, he and Don sang harmony like no other group.
God Speed

 

The Everly Brothers had some of the best harmony ever. There will be lots of people on here that never heard of them. I was very young when they were popular. Here is a link to their most popular song.

RIP Phil

 

There was a lot of great music from them. Another voice silenced forever.

 

Danced away a lot of nights to their music when this area had a lot of dance clubs. Sadly clubs are gone now so are the singers and groups I grew up with

RIP Phil

 

I think this happens to anybody who dies, singer or not.


Everly apparently died due to complications from bronchitis and emphysema due to a lifetime of smoking. But he made it to 74, which is not that far off of life expectancy. Still there's a lesson there. How much longer might he have lived and contributed...

 

I have seen my Mom and Dad dancing to them and many other 50's tunes during their home parties with 20 records or so stacked up to play n drop, My generation missed out on the 50's dancing era. We did the late 60's, early 70's flying era... but our feet were still on the floor.
