Happy Birthday Don. "Cathy's Clown" would be my particular favourite.

Superb harmony vocals, and a big influence on the Beatles, among others. Not sure what my favourite song is, there were so many good ones.

Personally "Til I kissed you" and "When will I be loved"

For the pure harmony of their voices together I love listening to "Maybe Tomorrow." The opening two words "I Know....Etc." gives Ya goose bumps.
As Aye,
Phil

If you ever find "Songs Our Daddy Taught Us," you might be quite surprised at what they could do with trad stuff.

Daddy (Ike) was also one of the best early-on guitar fingerpickers, before everyone on every street corner was doing it.

Used to have that a long long time ago on LP, but sadly got worn out.

I agree with you entirely Midchuck. Things like Barbry Allen, Here to get my baby out of jail, ole rockin chair are 3 i can think of from that LP

I got a CD copy of Songs Our Daddy Taught Us for a quid from our local library when they were having a clearout sale. I couldn't understand why they were getting rid of it, but I didn't ask questions!

Lightening Express ? I love the Everleys but that song must rank as one of the worlds most awful songs, [ along with Deck of Cards and Kilkelly Ireland ]
