The duo had a memorable split in 1973, as Phil Everly broke his guitar and stormed offstage during a concert at Knotts Berry Farm, leaving brother Don to finish the concert by himself.Don Everly told the crowd, "The Everly Brothers died ten years ago."The brothers reformed in 1983 with a new album produced by Dave Edmunds.At around the same time, Phil enjoyed some success as a soloist, with an album Phil Everly, recorded mainly in London, and including musicians such as Dire Straits guitarist Mark Knopfler, Rockpile drummer Terry Williams, and evergreen session keyboard player Pete Wingfield.In 1994, a new recording of "All I Have to Do Is Dream," featuring Cliff Richard and Phil sharing vocals, was a UK Top 20 hit.Souther's "White Rhythm and Blues" on his 1979 album "You're Only Lonely".Legacy
The Everly Brothers have had a total of 26 Billboard Top 40 singles.In 1986, they were among the first 10 artists inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.During the induction ceremony, they were introduced by Neil Young, who observed that every musical group he ever belonged to had tried and failed to copy the Everly Brothers' harmonies.In addition, they were inducted into the Country Music Hall of Fame in 2001 and the Vocal Group Hall of Fame in 2004.Their pioneering contribution to the genre has been recognized by the Rockabilly Hall of Fame.The Everly Brothers have a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame at 7000 Hollywood Blvd."Cathy's Clown" and "When Will I Be Loved" later became hits for Reba McEntire and Linda Ronstadt, respectively; (for the latter, the Everly Brothers even sang the back up chorus).The Bee Gees have acknowledged the Everly Brothers on several occasions stating that they would sing in the style of the Everlys and then add a third harmony.This is evident on the Bee Gees' first hit, New York Mining Disaster 1941 in 1967.They still perform occasionally, despite having declared their retirement from both touring and the studio more than once.As a special tribute to the Everly Brothers, they were not the opening act, rather Simon and Garfunkel opened their own show and had the Everlys come out in the middle for three or four songs.On Labor Day Weekend 1988, Central City Kentucky began hosting The Everly Brothers Homecoming event to raise money for a scholarship fund for Muhlenberg County students.The Homecoming became a popular annual event for fourteen years, before ending in 2002.Don and Phil successfully toured the UK in 2005 and Phil has appeared in 2007 on Recordings with Vince Gill and Bill Medley.Albums
