The only place those two were going to have a happy reunion, was in the Great Beyond. Gentlemen Brothers Everly, you have earned yourselves the happiest of reunions for the happiness you brought so many of us. |

We “baby boomers” have been blessed with some memorable music from the Everly Brothers that brought us great joy in our youth and indeed later years. Thanks Don (& Phil) for sharing your music with us. I can imagine close harmony Rock n Roll/ Do-wap resounding in heaven. |

As Bradfordian said above, we boomers were lucky. We got to hear music of all "genre" on the radio before music got squished into strict genres and radio stations quit playing everything. |

23 Aug 21 - 07:18 AM (#4117562) Subject: RE: Obit: Don Everly (1937-2021) From: BTMP Don & Phil learned their harmony from their dad, Ike Everly, who was a country singer and guitarist in the 40s and 50s. Ike was influenced by the Louvin Brothers who sang with a lead and baritone harmony, and often switched between lead and harmony. Their rendition of ‘Alabama’ is a great example of switching vocal lines. |
