The Everly Brothers - Songs

ABOUT

The Everly Brothers were the celebrated and pioneering singer-songwriter sibling duo, Donald (February 1, 1937 - August 21, 2021) and Phillip Everly (January 19, 1939 - January 3, 2014), who became famous during the late 1950s and early 1960s. Their best known songs include such oldies classics as "Bye Bye Love" (1957), "Wake Up Little Susie" (1957), "All I Have To Do Is Dream" (1958), "Bird Dog" (1958), and "Cathy's Clown" (1960).

The Everly Brothers' signature sound came from the sweet harmonic melding of Phil's tenor and Don's baritone and the duo's unique fusion of rock, pop, country, and rockabilly. They have been cited as a major influence by such top acts as Buddy Holly, The Beatles, The Beach Boys, The Byrds, The Hollies, and Simon & Garfunkel.

In 1986, The Everly Brothers became among the first ten acts to be inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame. Their numerous honors and accolades also include being inducted into the Vocal Group Hall of Fame in 2004 and the Country Music Hall of Fame in 2005. In 1997, they were awarded the Grammy Lifetime Achievement Award, and they have a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. In 2004, Rolling Stone Magazine ranked the Everly Brothers at #33 on its list of the 100 Greatest Artists of All Times.
