to Nashville.[11] Despite aliation with RCA, Atkins arranged for the Everly Brothers to record for Columbia
Records in early 1956. Their Keep A' Lovin' Me, which
Don wrote, opped and they were dropped.

The Everly Brothers were American country-inuenced

rock and roll singers, known for steel-string guitar and
close harmony singing. Isaac Donald Don Everly (born
February 1, 1937) and Phillip Phil Everly (January 19,
1939 January 3, 2014) were elected to the Rock and
Roll Hall of Fame in 1986 and the Country Music Hall
of Fame in 2001.

Atkins introduced them to Wesley Rose of Acu-Rose

music publishers. Rose told them he would get them
a recording deal if they signed to Acu-Rose as songwriters. They signed in late 1956, and in 1957 Rose
introduced them to Archie Bleyer,[12] who was looking
for artists for his Cadence label. The Everlys signed
and made a recording in February 1957.[11] "Bye Bye
Love" had been rejected by 30 other acts.[11] Their record
reached No. 2 on the pop charts behind Elvis Presley's
"(Let Me Be Your) Teddy Bear", and No. 1 on the Country and No. 5 on the R&B charts.[11] The song, by Felice
and Boudleaux Bryant,[13] became the Everly Brothers
rst million-seller.

History
Family and education

Don was born in Brownie, Muhlenberg County, Kentucky, in 1937, and Phil two years later in Chicago,
Illinois. Their parents were Isaac Milford Ike Everly,
Jr. (19081975), a guitar-player, and Margaret Embry
Everly.[1][2] Actor James Best (born Jules Guy), also from
Muhlenberg County, was the son of Ikes sister. Margaret
was 15 when she married Ike, who was 26. Ike worked
in coal mines from 14 but his father encouraged him to
pursue his love of music. Ike and Margaret began singing
together.[3] The Everly brothers spent most of their childhood in Shenandoah, Iowa.[4] They attended Longfellow
Elementary School in Waterloo, Iowa, for a year,[5] but
then moved to Shenandoah in 1944, where they remained
through early high school.

Working with the Bryants, they had hits in the United

States and the United Kingdom, the biggest "Wake Up
Little Susie", "All I Have to Do Is Dream", "Bird Dog",
and "Problems". The Everlys also succeeded as songwriters, especially with Dons "(Till) I Kissed You", which hit
No. 4 on the United States pop charts.[14]
The brothers toured with Buddy Holly in 1957 and 1958.
According to Hollys biographer Philip Norman, they
changed Holly and the Crickets from Levis and T-shirts
to the Everlys Ivy League suits. Don said Holly wrote
Wishing for them. Phil said: We were all from the
South. We'd started in country music.[15] While some
sources say Phil Everly was one of Hollys pallbearers
in February 1959, Phil said in 1986 that he attended
the funeral and sat with Hollys family but was not a
pallbearer.[8] Don did not attend, saying I couldn't go
to the funeral. I couldn't go anywhere. I just took to my
bed.[15]

Ike Everly had a show on KMA and KFNF in Shenandoah in the mid-1940s, rst with his wife, and then with
their sons. The brothers sang on the radio as Little Donnie and Baby Boy Phil.[6] The family sang as the Everly
Family.[7] Ike, with guitarists Merle Travis, Mose Rager,
and Kennedy Jones, was honored in 1992 by construction
of the Four Legends Fountain in Drakesboro, Kentucky.
The family moved to Knoxville, Tennessee, in 1953,
where the brothers attended West High School. In
1955, the family moved to Madison, Tennessee, while
the brothers moved to Nashville, Tennessee. Don had
graduated from high school in 1955, and Phil attended
Peabody Demonstration School in Nashville,[8] from
which he graduated in 1957.[9] Both could now focus on
recording.[10]

1.2

1.3 1960s and 1970s

After three years on Cadence, the Everlys signed with
Warner Bros. Records in 1960,[1] for 10 years. Their rst
hit for Warner Brothers, 1960s "Cathys Clown" (written
by Don and Phil), sold eight million, the duos biggestselling. Cathys Clown was number WB1, the rst in
the United Kingdom by Warner Bros. Records.

1950s

While in Knoxville, the brothers caught the attention of

family friend Chet Atkins, manager of RCA Victors studio in Nashville. The brothers became a duo and moved

Boudleaux Bryant, who had written most of their hits, as
well as Don and Phil Everly themselves, who were still
contracted to Acu-Rose as songwriters and had written
several of their own hits. Regardless, from 1961 through
early 1964, the Everlys recorded songs by other writers
to avoid paying royalties to Acu-Rose. They did use the
pseudonym Jimmy Howard as writer and/or arranger
on two tracksunsuccessfully, however, as Acu-Rose
assumed the copyrights once the ruse was discovered.
Other successful Warner Brothers singles followed in the
United States, such as "So Sad (To Watch Good Love Go
Bad)" (1960, Pop No. 7), Walk Right Back (1961, Pop
No. 7), Crying In The Rain (1962, Pop No. 6), and
"Thats Old Fashioned" (1962, Pop No. 9, their last Top
10 hit). From 1960 to 1962, Cadence Records released
Everly Brothers singles from the vaults, including "When
Will I Be Loved" (written by Phil, Pop No. 8) and "Like
Strangers".

Around this same time, they set up their own record label,
Calliope Records, for solo projects. Using the pseudonym
Adrian Kimberly, Don recorded a big-band instrumental version of "Pomp and Circumstance" arranged by
Neal Hefti, and charted in the United States top 40 in
mid-1961. Further instrumental singles credited to Kimberly followed but none charted. Phil formed the Keestone Family Singers, which featured Glen Campbell and
Carole King. Their lone single, Melodrama, failed to
chart, and by the end of 1962, Calliope Records was no
more.
They never stopped working as a duo but their last United
States Top Ten hit was 1962s Thats Old Fashioned, a
song recorded but unreleased by the Chordettes and given
to the brothers by their old mentor, Archie Bleyer. Succeeding years saw the Everly Brothers sell fewer records

Kingdom through 1968, and the top 10 in Canada as late
as 1967. The 1966 album Two Yanks in England was
recorded in England with the Hollies, who also wrote
many of the albums songs. 1967 brought the Everlys

In 1999, Don and Edan Everly performed The Everly

The brothers joined Simon & Garfunkel in their Old
Friends reunion tour of 2003 and 2004. As a tribute
to the Everly Brothers, Simon & Garfunkel opened their
own show and had the Everlys come out in the middle. The live album, Old Friends: Live on Stage, contains Simon & Garfunkel discussing the Everlys inuence on their career and features all four in on Bye Bye
Love (the subsequent DVD features two extra solo performances by the Everlys). For Paul Simon, it was not the
rst time he had performed with his heroes, as in 1986,
the Everlys sang background vocals on the title track of
Simons album Graceland.

2 Style and inuences

Don and Phil, both guitarists, used vocal harmony mostly
based on diatonic thirds. With this, each line can stand
on its own as a melody line. This is in contrast to classic
harmony lines which, while working well alongside the
melody, are not as melodic by themselves.

On most recordings, Don sings the baritone part and Phil

the tenor harmony .[41][42] A few exceptions are Made
To Love (A Date with the Everly Brothers), T For Texas
(Roots), as well as Always Drive A Cadillac (Born Yesterday). These songs feature Phil on lead, with Don providing the harmony. Don [usually sang most of the] solo

Phil Everlys death

On January 3, 2014, Phil Everly died at Providence

Saint Joseph Medical Center in Burbank, California,[35]
16 days before his 75th birthday. He died of lung
disease.[36][37][38] Don Everly claimed in a 2014 interview
with Los Angeles Times that he had given up smoking in
the late 1960s, and that Phil had stopped too, but started
again during their break-up and had continued until 2001.
Don said that weak lungs ran in the family as their father
Ike, had died of black lung disease. He admitted that he
had lived a very dicult life with his brother and that he
and Phil had become estranged once again in later years,
something which was mainly attributed to their vastly
dierent views on politics and life with the music being
the one thing they shared closely, saying its almost like
we could read each others minds when we sang. However, Don also stated that he had not gotten over Phils
death, which he elaborated by saying: I always thought
about him every day, even when we were not speaking to
each other. It still just shocks me that hes gone. Don
added that he always rmly believed he would die before
Phil due to Don being older.[39]

3 Legacy
The music of the Everly Brothers inuenced the Beatles, who referred to themselves as the English Everly
Brothers[37] when Paul and John went hitch-hiking south
to win a talent competition,[46] and based the vocal arrangement of "Please Please Me" on "Cathys Clown".[47]
Keith Richards called Don Everly one of the nest
rhythm players.[48] Paul Simon, who worked with the
pair on "Graceland", said, the day after Phils death: Phil
and Don were the most beautiful sounding duo I ever
heard. Both voices pristine and soulful. The Everlys were
there at the crossroads of country and R&B. They witnessed and were part of the birth of rock and roll.[6]
The Everly Brothers had 35 Billboard Top-100 singles,
26 in the top 40. They hold the record for the most Top100 singles by any duo, and trail Hall & Oates for the
most Top-40 singles by a duo. In the UK, they had 30
chart singles, 29 in the top 40, 13 top 10, and 4 at No.
1 between 1957 and 1984. They had 12 top-40 albums
between 1960 and 2009.

5
In 1986, the Everly Brothers were among the rst 10
artists inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.
They were introduced by Neil Young, who observed that
every musical group he belonged to had tried and failed
to copy the Everly Brothers harmonies. That year, on
July 5, the Everlys returned to Shenandoah to a crowd of
8,500 for a concert, parade, street dedication, class reunion, and other activities. Concert fees were donated to
the Everly Family Scholarship Fund which gives scholarships to middle and high school students in Shenandoah.
In 1997, the brothers were awarded the Grammy Lifetime Achievement Award. They were inducted into the
Country Music Hall of Fame in 2001 and the Vocal
Group Hall of Fame in 2004.[49] Their contribution has
been recognized by the Rockabilly Hall of Fame. The
Everly Brothers have a star on the Hollywood Walk of
Fame at 7000 Hollywood Blvd. In 2004, Rolling Stone
Magazine ranked the Everly Brothers No. 33 of the 100
Greatest Artists of All Times.[50] They are also No. 43
on the list of UK Best selling singles artists of all time.[51]
They wrote Till I Kissed You (Don), Cathys Clown
(Don and Phil), and When Will I Be Loved (Phil).
Cathys Clown and When Will I Be Loved became
hits for Reba McEntire and Linda Ronstadt, respectively (for the latter, the Everly Brothers sang the chorus). Also, Cathys Clown was covered by the legendary
Tarney/Spencer Band. It was released as a single in 1979.
Band member Alan Tarney (former member of the Shadows) went on to be a producer for hit machines like Cli
Richard and a-ha, the Norwegian band who in turn covered Crying In The Rain in 1990 for its fourth album,
East of The Sun, West of The Moon.
