The Everly Brothers were an American country-influenced rock and roll duo, known for steel-string acoustic guitar and close harmony singing. Consisting of brothers Don and Phil Everly, the duo was raised in a musical family in Brownie, Kentucky. They had their first hit with “Bye Bye Love” in 1957. The Everly Brothers had 19 Billboard Top 40 singles, including 11 that reached the top ten and two that reached number one on the Billboard Hot 100 chart. They are the Vocal Duo of the Century, according to RIAA.
The Everly Brothers were born in Brownie, Kentucky, Don on February 1, 1937, and Phil two years later on January 19, 1939. Their parents, Ike and Margaret Everly, were country musicians who had moved to Kentucky from Virginia after Ike’s father died. The brothers were raised in a musical family; their mother sang and their father played guitar and banjo. The brothers began singing together when they were very young. When they were teenagers, they began performing with their father as The Everly Family Band on a local radio show.
The Everly Brothers’ career began in 1956 when they signed with Cadence Records. Their first single, “Keep A-Lovin’ Me,” was released in early 1957 and did not chart. Their next single, “Bye Bye Love,” was a huge hit, reaching #2 on the Billboard country chart and #1 on the pop chart. The song was written by Felice and Boudleaux Bryant, who also wrote hits for Buddy Holly, The Beatles, and Simon & Garfunkel. “Bye Bye Love” was followed by a string of hits including “Wake Up Little Susie,” “All I Have to Do Is Dream,” “Bird Dog,” and “Devoted to You.”
In 1960, the brothers moved to Warner Bros. Records and had their first #1 hit with “Cathy’s Clown.” They continued to have success with such songs as “Walk Right Back,” “Ebony Eyes,” and “Temptation.” In 1963, they had their last top ten hit with “Devoted to You.” The brothers continued to tour and record together throughout the 1960s and 1970s, although their popularity declined in the United States. They had a comeback in the UK in the 1980s with the album EB 84, which included the hit single “On the Wings of a Nightingale.” The Everly Brothers were inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1986 and the Country Music Hall of Fame in 2001.
Don Everly died on January 3, 2014 at the age of 74. Phil Everly died on January 3, 2014 at the age of 74.
