Everly Brothers-Cathy's Clown (1960) Live HQ

[SixStringMicky]

smartly dressed, no swearing, clean music , i wish it was like this again .

[maniastereo]

Great Vibrations with The Everly Brothers...I love them :)

[SuperJanerey]

god they are hamdsome

[myenergytrade]

Pretty sure they influenced the Beatles.

[39Helmer]

trevligt och se att det finns fler med bra årgång - 1960. Men denna sång är väl inte nån av mina favoriter.

[SuperBpick]

Great harmony .

[applelonia666]

Adore this ! My dad sang this to me as kid and sits in your gut , becomes part of you ..

[claudeflorentin]

Excellent Everly Brothers, autre version francaise p'tit clown de ton coeur par Johnny Hallyday

[Melendr3z]

I have the same birthday as Don Everly :)  February 1st

[gracjanski]

amazing record big thanks for the uploader

[MrTomgunter]

Happy Birthday Don

[UncleMikeNJ]

Happy 75th Birthday, Don Everly. Phil will soon be 73.

[softie461]

The beginning of a great career - simply unique !

[unclejoey2009]

If I'm not mistaken, that looks like Joe B Mauldin playing bass and Jerry Allison on drums. They were the Crickets; Buddy Holly's backing band in the 50's.

[BCRSIX]

@unclejoey2009 Cooll! Who's the guitar player?

[justmusicandme]

@BCRSIX I believe the band backing them is none other than the original Crickets.

[MrPJ1954]

@justmusicandme I was about to make that same observation! I don't know about the lead guitarist, but I think that Jerry Allison is playing drums. (He played drums on "Til I Kissed You" and I think he was featured on some of the Everly Brothers' other hits.) I'm more sure that Joe B. Mauldin is playing electric bass. (It looks like a 1957 Fender

Precision Bass.)

[vandrew7yo]

thumbs up if you think you were born in the wrong generation o_o' .

[608christina]

definitely was. kinda boring for me now

[TheMrs0range]

Oh I love it <3 When I hear stuff like this I don't really feel like turning the radio on ever again to avoid hearing what my generation's average person listens to -.-

[4602118]

Now I feel so old!

[caweir]

Me too! The #1 song when I was born too! 6/19/60

[chevybabyprice]

only problem I have is You tube putting Obama ads on top of the song, I know they gotta advertise, but hey enough already with politics!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! All we have to do is turn on the TV to get those.

[shadyalan1]

Dig the haircuts !!!!!

[dakert40]

@shadyalan1

At least they had hair!!

[shadyalan1]

@dakert40 great haircuts for the time and great performers !!!!!

[stevealiaselvis]

[futurexways1]

En français , ça a donné "le pt'it clown de ton coeur " par Johnny et Richard en 1960...!

[alley5008]

yes those were the days! they sure dont make music the same!

[sharkfin60]

The Brothers can sing ! WOW

[TheMijakido]

Me also

[gizmobounce]

[lkg4tallmn]

[superdogtrainers]

This was the #1 song when I was born.

[tybeedawg]

@superdogtrainers -- me too!

[WBrandon1984]

@superdogtrainers Me, too!

[rockyracoon86]

@superdogtrainers me too!

[Tact52]

@superdogtrainers

It's still #1 isn't it...?

[daddymansuper]

Here ya go, Maureen...

[KylesGossip]

Im 27 now and i remember listening this when i was in jr high. I was Cathys clown....

[Buddytribute]

Don, Phil and the Crickets, what could be better!

[G8GT364CI]

@Buddytribute Is that really The Crickets backing him up?

[Buddytribute]

@G8GT364CI Yes, they also played on the record and a lot of other Everly's records. They also backed Eddie Cochran on 3 Steps to Heaven and loads of Booby Vee tracks etc.

[WordSmithRecords]

Whats cool is that the Beatles come up with their name as a spin off of the Crickets, which is the band in the background.

[Baskerville22]

Greatly under- rated historically....

[glorybra]

Lennon and McCartney BEFORE there was a Lennon and McCartney. Without American singers like the Everly Brother's, there would have been no Beatles or 'British Invasion' in 1964.

[buhbuhray13]

and now you know where the beatles got their inspiration . harmony and classic composition

[1950sbinman1]

Just Class! whats more to say..?

[MrCaptaingene]

they are perfect

[Eternallyeverly]

sorry, last post directed at Alikah .

[Eternallyeverly]

@rootedsorrow.....it is all a matter of perception....I say he still is. Of course I am in his age range...and yes, I still make note of good looking guys and Don STILL qualifys ! LOL.....Maybe you haven't seen the video of him appearing with Paul Simon just last May.....check it out !

[jkbosh]

this is about as good as live music gets

[jonsey617]

Don Everly's daughter Erin was the girlfriend of Axl Rose (Guns N Roses) the song Sweet Child of Mine is written about her

[rootedsorrow]

Man, Don Everly is a HUNK!!

[portcreditdave]

Lennon and McCartney were big fans of the harmony in this song, and modelled the harmony in Please Please Me on Cathy's Clown

[doctordoowop]

It is the 2 Crickets-also on youtube on "Til I Kissed You."

[rebel4dean]

i was listening to this song in the car with my mom whose name just happens to be Kathy..with a k of course

[00Jackacid]

tweed bassman in the background i think

[JohnLennoninmyGuitar]

holly crap! (thats a pun)... its the crickets backing the everly brothers!

[etransform]

Growing up in London UK in the 50s and 60s, I loved the Everly Bros - all their songs. Then the Beatles, Rolling Stones and hundreds of English groups. But now at the end of life's journey, I am revisiting the happy times of my early life through these great songs. Thanks for the posting.

[watto1945]

Certainly is the crickets.

[dahur]

That sure looks a lot like Buddy Holly's Cricket's Joe B. Mauldin on bass, and Jerry Allison on drums.

[glamarissa1]

love this song , my grandpa always played it when i was really young

[korrinnev]

I love this clip - just like I enjoy anything by the Everly Brothers - they taught me harmony and a love of words for songs as I grew up - thank you Phil and Don xxx

[kazzamac1000]

LOVE THIS VIDEO OF THE GREAT EVERLY BROTHERS, DON IS SO CUTE!

[GclefEleven]

Many vocal groups based their harmonies on the Everly Brothers. No one ever matched it. It's impossible! These guys grew up singing harmonies with each other. They're like one voice singing two parts.

[XxStandByMeBeatlesxX]

I've fallen in love......

[legrande111]

I'm certain that those J-200s are standard in depth - maybe the colour just makes them seem larger. Beautiful things, though! See how Sonny Curtis is playing simple 'open' chord shapes up the octave using a capo? The band sounds so crisp here - no wonder we were always in awe of the American acts then, they sounded SO good!

[cqsteve1]

Great harmonies and how many people have tried to copy that "warble" in their voices?

[Orbisonlover]

love this :)

[FMHammyJ]

It is well known the Beatles were always open about their appreciation of the Everly Bros, and tried to copy their harmonies, as did Simon & Garfunkel...and as we know, both groups learned to harmonize quite well in their own right.

[taipeidiaries]

I kinda get the feelin' that the Beatles stole their vocal sound from this!

[wilcarr1]

beatle suck, I grew up in the sixties and these freaks came to the US and made a truck load of money and then go back home and bad mouth the USA. They liked our dollor bills while many of us as myself were being drafted and carted off Nam these ingrates smoked dope and criticised the war. Most of us did not like it but we had no choice.

[JanOneful]

If it were a Beatles song it would be one of their best - btw I also love the Beatles

[141046]

For those of you who didn't recognize them, the musicians behind The Everly's in this clip are The Crickets.

[30inventionman]

best song ever written

[sbbongi]

OMG that;'s your aunty Cathy's song!!!!!

at least in my memory!

[scottblackhoyt]

The reason for the two guitarists in the background? The guy on the right is playing electric guitar and the guy on the left is playing the electric bass. The Everlys are playing acoustic guitars. This was the basic instrumentation on most of their records.

[CBEEZWAX]

my first experience w/ a "break-up" song. had a crush on girl named Cathy in the 2nd grade...but she had a crush on dumbasdirt David White.

[whirlyfan]

what r their names ? good tune though

[wakman11]

@whirlyfan Its Don on the right and Phil on the left

[waylonbuddy]

The Everly's with J.I, Joe B and Sonny, the only one missing is Buddy. A great video, harmonies that set the standard.

[LoveMyCountryAussie]

TIME GOES QUICK MATE ,,that was great thanks

[fialilla123]

...why wasn't I born in the 50s!

[mryjn420090]

Is this 1992

[Khultan]

I'm very curious about the reason for the two guitarists in the background. Bass?

[Khultan]

Grand. : )

[shirleumcdaniel]

@thousandmiles...."AIN'T IT SO"...This quality is "AWESOME"

[SarahMeyers1000]

i love this song:)

[1981temeka]

Thank you this is the best quality one i have seen :) Yea me and my husband love this song so much :)

[SuperAram111]

great hair on the boys and we all loved them back in the better days

[myepiphone]

Yes,the backing group is the crickets.Sonny Curtis,Joe B Mauldin and Jerry Allison.

[misterfunnybidness]

I noticed Joe B. Mauldin on bass but wasn't sure if that drummer is J.I. Alison? Anyone know?

[MrJont123]

Has anybody previously noted that the backing group is the Crickets? What a combination!!

[sunshinemags]

A very old classic. Thanks for uploading.

[BlindTom61]

By "maple Precision" I meant the solid-maple neck -- no rosewood fretboard. I've had a couple of them over the years, sound great, especially the '51 I had...

[VisualEntity]

Amazing quality! i love this song so much!

[m83583]

i watched them do this the first time I was there the word torchwood is shite the real code name for us is blue apple ,white horse

[lovemusic12310]

does anyone know the original singers for this song 

[Nightbird87]

@lovemusic12310 These were the original singers... they wrote the song

[HeyYallWhazUp]

which one is Don and which one is Phil?

<3 this song :)

[yankees3936]

I need a chord chart for them, I want to use this song to explain to a girl how i felt when she cheated on me

[AlasseBuchanan]

That harmony is so amazing! I miss hearing harmony from artists.

[jorgethepharaoh]

correct me if i'm wrong but the band in the background look like the crickets but if that's the case were is buddy???

[4l4ddin77]

@jorgethepharaoh

dead.

[banana61991]

@jorgethepharaoh well... he was dead at this point... so whereever he was buried :/

[09Chip09]

@jorgethepharaoh buddy holly died in 1959

[terrorfanatikerin]

nein wie geil hihi

[djugel]

strange how this song over time.. is still better than any beatles hit.

btw - i love the beatles.

[ILUVLUCYDESI]

@djugel I see what your saying

[manny45629]

@djugel you're a idiot..the beatles are untouchable

[Kevan0011]

Don't forget the backing group. That's the fabulous Crickets - Joe Maudlin on bass, Jerry Allison on drums, and Sonny Curtis on rhythm guitar.

[pg17bg17]

I <3 this song everytime I hear it

[zacatetas]

my cousin's name is cathy and she's a clown too, how ironic. I heard this in a truck stop and damn near burst out laughing

[Eternallyeverly]

They look so young...well, guess they were.

[Noemin28]

THE CRICKETS SON EL GRUPO DE ACOMPAÑAMIENTO // THE CRICKETS ARE THE BACKING BAND !!!!

[GrammyStout5]

Oh yeah - - -great music and wonderful, wonderful memories

[moonshadow1949]

I was 11 yrs old when this song came out. O h by the way my name is Kathy

[zacatetas]

@moonshadow1949 good job clown, it only applies to cathy's with a "C"

[holycrapyousuck]

This is so good on so many levels!

[bucksoccer]

How does this have a dislike button?

[77Fishhead]

I think that the one person who didn't like this video was Gordie!!

[itdoesntmatter56789]

The kids today will never look as cool as we did! Whatever happened to Brylcreem I think I owned stock in them back then! Thanks for this UKI!

[jimmyg34567]

@itdoesntmatter56789 im 16 and use Brylcreem orginal. As i have my hair in a 60s style. They still make it but orginal is very hard to get. the mainley make gels now

[vikingmanMN]

Buddy Holly's Crickets was the backup!!!! Excellent!

[FunJoey7]

Does anyone else notice The Crickets as the backup band?

[mrbrenohenrique27]

i die each time.................

[RetroGurl73]

Greatttt!!!!! XD

[georgehamiltonmcmill]

that is the crickets backing the brothers

[brentos78]

@georgehamiltonmcmill it sure looks like them!

[kurtcer]

MAN! That's Great!

[YesterdayProductions]

Nobody, not even John & Paul on their best day, sounded as good as the Everly Brothers.This was all 100 % live which is even more incredible. Don & Phil were born to sing together.

[RWCT1]

I LOVED Cathy! ME So naive, SO hurt! Was brought up to respect a woman.

Never knew she didn't respect herself. Life goes on Cathy. Still know it was right not to go too far!

Cathy C Calgary 1963

[tjmacjee]

Beautiful mustache Gibsons, what I'd do for one of those babies!

[KidCanza]

Theyre both a

[83DrumProdigy]

is either one still alive?

[spongebeatles]

Hai hai hai, they inspired the beatles!!! TB and EB r both the best in the music world!!!!

[according2ed]

Now THAT'S Rock & Roll! Feeding your soul without the Feedback.

a2ed*com

[ssparrow331]

I love those boys.. Their melodies are some of the best ever, imo!

[82Nevergiveup]

i love this song !!!!!

[KidCanza]

Wonderful!

[BlindTom61]

For guitar players this video is great. A maple-necked Precision bass and a maple-necked Strat going through a very rare tweed Fender Twin Amp. they must hav been plying pretty loud...

[bassface84]

@BlindTom61 maple precision eh? …that bass had to weigh a TON.

[mshuptar]

@BlindTom61 Think about how much those instruments are probably worth now!

[AGibsonJ]

Love it ...perfection!!

[ccjames1969]

Absolutely and utterly brilliant.Amazing voices.

[Ullarobinlilly]

An other favorite!!! Thank you!!!

[bellgardens53]

Great sound, great footage...great song. Thnx!

[legrande111]

How great were these guys!? They wrote this, arranged it, and sang it to perfection. This is particularly good as it's 'live' - what about Joe B Maudlin, Jerry Allison and Sonny Curtis, too? This is rock and roll Royalty here....

The Beatles? Give me a break!!! They never sounded this good.

[dahur]

@legrande111

I was just getting ready to post I think that's Joe B. Mauldin when I read your post. I had to see the video again, and damn that IS Jerry, and Sonny! I didn't even recognize them at first. Thanks for pointing it out.

[Schooltomorrow]

Wendy McColm sent me! :D

[jedberten]

I always wondered if they were as good live as their recordings. It's satisfying to know they were truly that good. Thank you.

[thepoopie2]

I hope all you realize the Beatles stole this sound.

[PopppaBlue59]

One of my all time favorites! Thanks for posting, and a big 'ol Howdy from Texas!

[tinydancer666]

sound's like they're singing "Cathy's Clam" OO eer :) hehe. Fantastic singers, harmonies are effortless but soo beautiful

[ChrisCurtisFan]

Many thanks for posting this live video. For me, they invented and perfected harmony!

[dakarlion1]

lots of brillcream I guess

[maddymud]

fantastic -- anyone wondering where John and Paul get their magic, here tiz ...

[thepoopie2]

When America was at its best. Traditional American family that served our country and give us beautiful music.

[pcsbeat]

amazing live version of a fantastic song..thanks!

[Ozaries12]

The backing band look like "The Crickets: - aka Joe Maulin, Jerry Alison and Sonny Curtis. Awesome Everly Bros song! :)

[giles422]

@Ozaries12 that's definitely Joe B Mauldin on bass...

[wanderer856]

fantastic!

[hrpman]

Amazing performance (as always) by the two boys ... but there's more life in my comb than in the three backing musicians!

[justmusicandme]

@hrpman :  LOL! I thought the same when I watched this! (Maybe they were in awe of the Everlys!)

[hrpman]

@justmusicandme Haha - something like that, anyway!

[AGibsonJ]

@hrpman , [re: more life in my comb than in the three backing musicians]....

Now, that's funny!!!

[byebyelove1944]

AWSOME just AWSOME. I had not seen this particular video before.
