I was doing evenings at the (then) #1 station in Nashville (WKDA) at the time this was cut. We had a tight format with a select group of the proven top hits from which to play. However, an exception was made when Jack Stapp (manager) okayed Wesley Rose's bringing an acetate copy of the song up to the studio and he sat there as I premiered the record. Of course, the phones lit up, validating the exception made of playing an unproven record on my show. What a pleasant memory!
I saw the Everly's live in '72 & '84. They remain my Favourite American artist's from the 50's & 60's along with Presley and Holly. Brotherly vocal harmony beyond compare.
im 23 and I love coming onto Everly Brothers and Beach Boys video's and reading these comments. "loved my baby since I first heard this song" and stuff like that.
Best of all there are no arguments or anything under Everly Bro's video's
I first heard this song in my hometown Bangkok back in 1950 something , I was about 12 years and loved to singalong this song even knew very little English then. Now I am 63 and still always love The Everly Brothers' songs....very beautiful and classic indeed.
@noinuk I respect your love of this song but it was not recorded in 1950 check it out for yourself late 50s at earliest I am 62 and don't have the energy to look it up now but I still have the original 45 pressing on Cadence I agree with you a great song and a great duo
such darlings. such classic stuff. they dont write like this anymore but i'm so glad these songs can live on and survive via the internet for as long as possible.we need lovely songs like these!! Thank you uploader X xx
with the exception of 1937Charlie~~~~~what R YA'LL MORONS?????? they r the everly brothers, they expired all the English groups, sorry for the blowup I just get mad when u say where did they come from, the come from the SOUL kiddies~~~~~love and peace!!!!
@Fupsennod i do practice wat i preach, seeing as i was preaching how i hate people giving life stories, i dnt give life stories, so idk wtf ur reading haha nxtt time u reply maybe u shud actually read the comment 1st
A marvelous classic. History would record, however, that the Everlys, Ricky Nelson, Paul Anka, Bobby Vinton, et al, were knocked off the charts by the British Invasion and Motown.
Look at the back up on this !!! Floyd Cramer and Chet Atkins ... legends of rock and roll. This has always been my favorite Everlys song. Thanks for posting ... interesting with the chatter.
On page 210 in the book *Ladies Love Outlaws* Don Everly comments on the reason he wrote this song and I quote,* I wrote *( Till I kissed ya about a girl I met in Australia, Her name was Lillian and she was very,very,very inspirational. I was marries but.....I wrote the song about her on the way home*...
@1937Charlie Charlie, I kissed my baby beside a pine tree in the autumn of 1959. I was a kid in high school, and he was dark-haired, dark-eyed, and had the sweetest smile. We've been married 44 years on December 31. He's STILL got the sweetest smile and he's STILL my baby.
@1937Charlie Congrats on a long and happy marriage, man. I just heard this song for the first time in my life tonight, and I loved it. 'Only 18, myself.
@1937Charlie That a boy Charlie! you sound like you have a relationship most of us would give the world for--wonderful thing to hear--enjoy many more!--God Bless,! but i'm pretty sure he HAS
Thanks EVER so much for this vid! I love the Everly brothers....they had such great sound. They seemed pretty much down to earth for a time, even though they did do drugs for a period of time.
Great harmonies from the brothers as always. For a real treat, check out their song " I Wonder If I Care As Much" as well (you can find it in my favorites). It is another example of their outstanding harmonies.
amazing!! Where did you ever get this?? I love the everlys and this song in particular, and it's cool to hear the different piano riffs....the piano style on this song inspired me to take up piano. Oh, and Marinvalkyrien, I believe John and Paul met as young students, about 13 years old, when they went to the same school in Liverpool.
Marianvalkyrien has no idea what she's talking about. Her original comment has nothing to do with the Everlys, so why mention it? She goes on to talk about the Beatles, not knowing anything about their history and growing up together in Liverpool.
Reply to: Marianvalkyrien (8 hours ago) : I like this version even better than the live version, because the sound is great on this video. Also like the studio chatter before they got down to business. It's so hard to pick a favorite Everly song, but this one ranks right up there with me.
this has always been one of my favorite everly brothers songs. i love all of their songs but i do have some favorites. i would rather listen to don and phil sing rather than john and paul any time. i guess i will love these guys forever. i was 12 when i first started listening to them and i am now 59 and i still love them. they sound like angels, no one can ever beat them.
Bumblebeemoi,I meant the BEATLES weren't related to each other.I wasn't referring to the Everly brothers.I'm not sure when the Beatles all met each other,but i don't think they grew up together.They had to discover each other's strenghts as adults,as far as i know.BTW,check out my videos.
The Everly Brothers were a great influence on the Beatles, and its been written that Lennon and McCartney consciously copied the Everlys two-part harmonies on Love Me Do and Please Please Me.
@Rock1945 absolutely, the first time i heare Please Please Me I thought of the Everlys...first time Little Richard heard them he said they sounded like "Four Everyly Brothers"....
I guess, as they evolved into something else in the lattern pt of the '60s. Hard to imagine The Everly's doing "Revolution", "Back To USSR" that are killers. But I can stay away from stuff like "Yesterday" or "Yellow Submarine" or that Yeah, Yeah, Yeah 'Mersey Beat'. But hey! That's me...
I am just a road trip from the guys that the Beatles were so influenced by. I live in Greensburg, Kentucky, which is the central part of the state. Do they live in Muhlenberg County? I would just like to meet them some day.
my favourite singers, they are awesome i just love music at the moment i am in contact with there cousin Kentucky USA, and she is telling me a great deal what the up to these days.
i love everly brothers.
