Too bad it's distorted, because you can imagine how just how good this really sounds. Thanks for posting this fun clip.

nice post thanks! i do like the peculiar singing voice Don has on this one..he always sings with all his heart, like brother Phil, and this is maybe the first reason why i love so much their songs.

How did this happen? You brought us a rare gem. And what an exquisite harmony. Thanks for posting!

This is fantastic! Although a fan of what I know of Melanie's work, and most certainly of The Everly Brothers, I was unaware of this collaboration.

This is another case where two singing voices found their near mirror's image, as with those of Salvatore Phillip Bono and Cherilyn Sarkisian LaPiere Bono Allman a/k/a Sonny & Cher.

@gymnastix, I loved that show too, Glen was so multi talented and could do anything!

@AGibsonJ Hands down my favorite-titled summer replacement series was "The Summer Brothers Smothers Show," hosted by country singer Glen Campbell (filling the 1968 summer slot of "The Smothers Brothers Comedy Hour" on CBS), the success of which netted Campbell his own, weekly variety program on CBS in January 1969.

Smothers' regulars Pat Paulsen and Leigh French appeared with Campbell in his summer fill-in slot, as well future Campbell show semi-regular, singer/songwriter John Hartford.

@AGibsonJ This was also sometimes done for situation comedies. Although, more typically, networks just aired rerun episodes of sitcoms summers, until the program returned with new episodes in the fall season.

I can recalll one summer when an upcoming comic named George Carlin hosted "Away We Go," the summer replacement series for "The Jackie Gleason Show" in 1967.

@AGibsonJ The television program to which you are probably referring is "Johnny Cash Presents The Everly Brothers," which aired as the 1970 summer replacement for Cash's weekly ABC series

That was quite a common practice in television of the 1950s through '70s, especially with musical-variety programs, to air replacement series' when the regular series' were on production hiatus for the summer.

@Chiselnyc , the original tape sticks together as it ages and alters the sound ... I have cassettes that sound a lot like this one!
