So sad to hear this news. He was a wonderful singer and together The Everly Brothers were the greatest rock singers ever in my opinion (and that of Rolling Stone magazine.) We still listen to their tracks all the time and were lucky enough to see them a couple of times in Bournemouth on the reunion tours. OH first saw them in the early sixties. Their music will be playing in our house today and glasses will be raised.
sad

It was an Alan Yentob Arena documentary from 1983. I will keep an eye open for it and post if I see it.

Thanks Mamie. I was just listening to 'All I have to do is dream' ... talk about an instant stress buster, I'm 16 again and my whole life is before me, and everything is rosy smile

Like you Granny23 DH and I went to see them a couple of times in Edinburgh on their reunion tours. I, personally, think their greatest album is Roots which gives an insight to their early days singing with their parents on radio. Their harmonies even then were faultless. Hope they show the Arena programme again in tribute.
