Sad to hear that Don Everly has died - I loved the Everly Brothers and was lucky enough to see them when they toured the UK a couple of times. They started with "pop" type songs sucb as "Bye Bye love" and "Wake up Little Suzie" but their later songs, such as "Let it Be Me" "Crying in the Rain" and "Love Hurts" were beautiful with their unique harmonies. The likes of Paul McCartney and Keith Richards all say they were influenced by The Everly brothers. I was surprised to read that their mother is still alive, she's 101.

A big part of my early life too, especially Sunday mornings when helping to cook the Sunday lunch accompanied by music.
Aldom, that's so tough. Take care.

I loved their music too. So much heartbreak in their voices.

I had a rummage around in our music collection earlier and have got a fifty-song compilation playing. This is why I’m reluctant to part with all our Cd’s - some of them are unavailable on streaming services.

One of the last remaining pioneers of rock and roll although they were a mix of country. They were a class act, I saw them in 1959 when I was still at school, at their reunion concert at The Albert Hall in 1983 and again in 1993. Don was always my favourite and my friend Lynda (RIP) loved Phil. Cathy's Clown will always be one of my favourite records, it was a number one hit when I left school in 1960. Phil and Don’s mother is now 102, how sad for her to outlive both her sons but what a legacy!
