The Everly Brothers - Lucille (Tennese Ernie)

[YesterdayProductions]

Listen at how high the voices are pitched, especially Phil's voice. They can make any song sound great.

[funkmasterjee]

I actualy prefer this to Little Richard's version. A touch of bass would have made it perfect

[Swan1947]

Thank you for posting....the whole clip was taken off You tube!

[woundedmarine68]

I didn;t know,that they were in the Marines. Sempi Fi to them Roger USMC

[Leroyfis]

funny, a good song and performed in their own style... interesting!

[NotTonyBliar]

The Everleys version of this song is by far the best.

[Freddie9384]

They are the best harmonized duet.

[Cardinal6648]

@Freddie9384

Indeed, they are.

[TheLDLady]

Love the Everly Brothers, thanks for posting.

[lhcarter]

Isn't this a Little Richard song?

[riegedorf]

Yep - it is Little Richard who wrote this - and performed it the best!

[Waldo99]

The song was a hit and first performed by Little Richard. It was composed by Albert Collins and Little Richard. The Everly Brothers were simply performing it here as part of a group of songs on a TV appearance. They were never associated with the song as Little Richard was.

[nickellodeon55]

@Waldo99 Actually, the Everlys had a sizeable chart hit with this in 1960, the flip of "So Sad".

[MsArchangelG]

@lhcarter yea it definitely is! they stole it!

[khichfy]

Puxa vida! Eles gravaram esta canção antes de Little Richard?

Eram realmente fenomenais!

[moosey62]

Great. Only bettered by Roy Orbison.

I love the Everlys.

[thedayxyz]

what year was this???? 1963???

[AGibsonJ]

1961 [April 13]

[Waldo99]

You'd be shocked to know the huge names in rock who idolized these guys. Great talents.

[RogerjTurner]

If you ever get a chance to hear the original recording of Lucille by the Brothers, the intro guitar figure was done by eight different Nashville acoustic guitarists - phenomenal sound. Also the solo in the middle and the outro are pedal steel solos by Buddy Emmons. Get a copy of 'It's Everly Time' to hear the first truly hi-fi pop album.

[myGUYfawkes]

Chuck Berry - who knew something about guitar picking - loved the guitar work of these two young fellows.

[Waldo99]

Of course he did because these guys were mentored by the master Chet Atkins and their dad who was also a guitar playing master. Chuck and the Everlies were on the same plain, all great.

[aliwashah111]

it sounds like pretty women lenny kravitz

[Waldo99]

This was from before Lenny Kravitz was born. If anything he sounds like them, not the other way around.

[aliwashah111]

i know everything about them but i think maybe lenny stole the melodythat was what i meant

[pds3939]

They class up any song they sing!

[ranmae57]

@pds3939 bull horn, this is little richard's song, have u heard him sing it?

[MsArchangelG]

@ranmae57 soooo rite tho they totally jackd this song!!!! they really don't compare to little richard's star qualities in fact yu can KISS IT EVERLY BROTHERS!!!!!!!!!!!

[DebikiSan]

@MsArchangelG Chill~ They are equally wonderful in their own way. Props for Little Richard for writing such a wonderful song!

[vinegaroon1]

Odd to see both of them playing the guitar. It was normally just one--can't think now if it was Don or Phil.

[JesusMovement]

both of them always did

[vinegaroon1]

Yes, I agree. I was wrong. Haven't seen them for a long while (though I often play their tapes.) Don't know what I was thinking.

[corg22]

they always played guitar together. Look at all the other clips!

[40gms]

Always matching guitars.
