I was surprised to learn he was still alive. Sad for their mother to outlive both of them.

I loved their music. It was part of my teenage years. ?

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.
