i think nazareth's version is the worst, no need to constipate yourself to sing a brokenheart song. however i think, jason donovan did better version.
Everly Brothers were not the first the couple that actually wrote the song recorded it along with a few other hits and sent them to record companies trying to sell them. They wrote 1500 songs between the two of them or colaborations with other artists. No other writer/writers have had more songs chart.
All this time I thought Nazareth wrote this song -__-. But I'm sooo happy to know that the Everly Bros sang this before them (: Thanks to them, I'm a Buddy Holly fan now.
I've been told that I should like the Nazereth version more because you can "feel the pain" , "the misery", "the torture". I always respond with the line. "I don't think the writers ever intended this to be a suicide ballad, it's fine how it is. Every Brothers rock"!
Jacob Lusk should have sung this version rather than Nazareth. He oversang Nazareth version. By doing this version, I think, Jacob has no chance to oversing the song.
@lexsoft Totally agree, I didn't think there was another person on this whole planet that thought that Jacob 'oversings'. This version would have been perfect for him, even though he's not my favorite.
I just listened to Nazareth's version of this song. To me, he has a horrible scratchy voice and I couldn't understand a word he sang. No comparison. Phil & Don are superior!
I have many of their albums and 45s. They were among the very best in their time and even now. They had their own sound, which has not been copied. I still listen to them - my favories were So Sad, Devoted to You and Let it be Me. I wish they would record again.
i didnt know this is the original...my goodness nazareth has a great rendition....everly brothers one of the legends and respected entertainers....learn a lot from you tube ....thanks.
This is one of the nicest versions of' Love Hurts'. The Harmony just can't be compared to other renditions of the song. Good choice to put on here! Thanks.
I learned something today, and it is Nazareth didn't write this song. Wow, Naz were my inspiration but the Everly Brothers must have been their's. Thanks for posting!
@jmzfactor Do your really think Nazareth wrote this song??? ( "Love Hurts" written and composed by Felice and Boudleaux Bryant was recorded by The Everly Brothers in July 1960) ...when looking up songs...do you ever read any of the info ppl post or just make comments without thinking.....many songs are just re-versions of songs from the past.....think before you write and never assume anything.....
@LADYLAUREA , I wasn't saying Nazareth wrote this song. I was saying it was funny that someone thought they wrote it, and that their version hurt my ears. I don't know how old you are, but I heard the Everly's version AND Gram Parsons and Emmylou's version of this before Nazareth ever butchered it.
So far i only knew Gram Parsons' version which is far the best imo. This is the first time i listened to the original E.B. version and i'm terribly disappointed. Usually the original versions are the best,but not in this case. This is just a light-minded,half-hearted version recorded by 2 young man. O.K. for teenagers but that's all. Nothing more,nothing less. This is not adult material.
@draggonheart your retared this is the best version next to incubus.. but for you to say half hearted what are you talking about there supposed to be all excited and up beat and intense lol not that kinda song.moron
CAN PEOPLE PLEASE STOP BITCHING ABOUT JUSTIN BIEBER ON THE COMMENT SECTION OF EVERY GOOD ARTIST. i don't care how crappy you think he is in comparison; you're ruining my enjoyment of THIS music by constantly bringing him up. it's never been original, profound, or clever. kiddy pop is not going away, so stop bitching about it. focus on things that are good, and shut the fuck up about him. PLEASE.
i like both versions, even having grown up listening to the everly bros and actually liveing thru the 60's and hearing all the music between then and now.
Hey! This is the first time I ever heard this old version IMAGINE? I was so used to the one by Nazareth. I thought they wrote it. This is such a calmer version. Easier to listen too. The one by Nazareth makes me feel like cring to much. This version makes painful memories seem far away, like it was all such a along time ago. It maybe because the version is older from the 50's (hee hee) Must be some self psycology at work, but it does the right trick if you'll notice.
While this is indeed a great and original version, I can't help myself. Nazareth's take was the one I gravitated toward some 14 or 15 years later ! Of course, I'll will always be a Phil and Don fan !
The EB s have spoiled me for other musical artists. I have given up trying to find other singers who could sound as good and entertain so professionally every time they perform ! Thanks so much for posting this - It is one of their best!.
