They are simply adorable ! voices from Heaven and the faces of angels. Is it possible for them to be as innocent as they look ? God Bless The EverlyBrothers
They never sounded better, nor looked better in their whole career then they did in this time period. They are simply beautiful and their vocals are awesome.
My dad found Phil and Don their apartment in North Hollywood when they were first coming to Hollywood to do some shows. He was in the Electronics biz and sold alot of studios their sound gear. Now battling cancer he likes to talk about the old days, and these guys are just one of his amazing stories.
Awesome....and here in lies the beginnings of the Beatles....The Beatles worshiped The Everly Brothers and you can see the Beatles foundation for harmony...and of course Paul has spoken of this many times
I second cornishrexlady - the high harmony on this song is quite something. On the Everly recordings we usually have the high harmony a little lower in the mix but on stage here he sings even louder that Don doing lead. :)
No matter what their ancestry was, they are in fact,born and bred in the good old USA! We are a melting pot,that's why we have such a wide range of music invented here!No one can compare to these 2,no one can harmonize like siblings!
There were 3 waves of Irish immigrants, the first of which was just after 1717, way before the 1840's, 50's potatoe famine max exodus. (BTW Kelly, Tully, Ferguson are known to be Irish/Scottish/Celtic names.) I don't find any ancestors prior to 1717 here in America. I think it's interesting to know the background and cultural forces that went into making music/art. So, what group are they from, Anglo, French?
You are confusing the early Scots "Irish" immigration with the later true Irish immigrations. The Everlys have some scot ancestry, but not true Irish. A lot of folks make that same mistake, thinking the Scots that Britain sent to administer their Irish colony were actually Irish. They were not, although a lot of them came to the US early on.
They are not of Irish ancestry (not that it is important what ancestry they are). Their ancestors were here in the US before the Irish immigration occurred.
It really must be tough to have so much stardom at a young age only to have the Beatles anf The Brittish Invasion make you obsolete. They tried to play a more souther/black rock but that really wasn't their style. Still some great classics though
@5inthehole I think they began to fade a couple of years before the beatles appeared on the scene. But what a talent. They still hold the record( no pun) for the most top 100 hits for a duo.
@frankiehiyo You right, they were fading after leaving "Cadence" (their first recording label for you young-ins) for WB in 1961, but they still had a few hits afterwards. The nail in the coffin was the Beatles and The Brittish Invasion.
Phil and Don don't need anything to embellish their songs; their sweet, clear voices with steel acoustic guitar is the Everlys at their best. Phil's harmony is outstanding on this performance. This is really a rare find; clearly one of the best EB videos I have seen to date. Thank you thank you thank you.
@Hernia901 Yes, I caught that too. I think it probably happened a lot because they would often change the words of their songs. I am of the generation that was heartbroken when the 'British Invasion", mostly The Beatles, wiped out all the great soft Rockers. The Everly Bros were he hardest for me to see go down. Some of the Beatles music was good, but not good enough to make up for all we lost. Well, time marches on.
Love phil's sideways glance and grin when don misses one word but don never missed a beat. They will never be matched

That was Phil that made the mistake with Don giving him the look as I see it.

I think it's Don since the lyric is "know" and he mouths "tell" again, plus it happens w/ the melody and not the high harmony
