The Everly Brothers - Bowling Green - Demo

[1donnarob]

This was actually a demo done by Phil and Terry Slater in 1967 before Don and Phil did it for the Album The Everly Brothers Sing. You can find the demo on the the compilation CDs with Chained to a Memory box set issued in 2006

There was a disconnect with anything American once the Beatles showed up. Most of them deserved the fate they were acccorded by the Fab Four. However, some still vital acts like the Everlys were unfairly shunted aside as well. There are some terrific Warner Brothers albums Don and Phil did and some real crap. You gotta wade through them.

It's amazing that so many felt the Everly Brothers were "over the hill" by 1967.

Yet Don was only 30, Phil was 28.

Nobody could harmonize like The Everly Brothers.I may be wrong but I think this was the last song they recorded together and released in 1967.

Thanks for posting it Rock1945!

This is a great version...where can one pick up the demo?

[musicman4578]

This and 'YVES" are the only A sides that Phil sings lead harmony. It was written by his English friend Terry Slater.

@musicman4578 this was actually wrote by Phil but put down slaters name as so not to piss off Acuff-rose

Thank you for this video. It is my favourite version of the song. Don is very handsome here but Phil looks so intense and gorgeous. Thanks again.

These two had a vocal magic that we will never hear the likes of ever again. This song has always been one of my favorites by Phil and Don. I remember hearing this song as a kid and it always takes me back to those warm memories of an innocent childhood.

Oh my... You've made my day again, Rock1945! Super rare version of this favorite song with Phil's vocals only, which can definitely stand on their own! Very nice, (for me) never seen pictures of the boys too... I fell in love with the first shot of Don with his guitar. Thanks for posting!!!
