The brothers were both competent guitarists, and used a simple style of harmony mostly based on parallel thirds.Early career
Guitarist Ike Everly had an Iowa radio show in the 1940s.The Everly Brothers recorded their own first single, "Keep A' Lovin' Me," in 1956, under the aegis of Chet Atkins, but it flopped.They soon became known as the stalwarts of Archie Bleyer's Cadence Records label.Their first with WB, 1960's "Cathy's Clown," launched the brothers back to the top of the charts.It was released as number WB1, the first release in the United Kingdom by Warner Brothers Records.Their last Top Ten hit was 1962's "That's Old Fashioned"; the succeeding years saw the Everly Brothers selling many fewer records than before.Their enlistment in the United States Marine Corps in 1963, to meet military obligations, took them out of the spotlight immediately before The Beatles broke loose in the United States and changed the pop music landscape.In 1962, Warner Brothers released a "Golden Hits" album in 1962, which included only their Warner Brothers hits."Devoted to You" and "Til I Kissed You."Their contract with Warner Bros lapsed after its ten years.In 1970, they were the summer replacement hosts for Johnny Cash's television show.Up of the Everly Brothers
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."On the Wings of a Nightingale", written by Paul McCartney for the brothers, was a minor success and returned them to the charts in both the U."Born Yesterday" in 1986 from the album with the same name.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.Throughout their careers they have collaborated extensively with other performers, usually singing either backup vocals or duets.In 2006, Phil Everly sang a duet, "Sweet Little Corrina", with country singer Vince Gill on his much acclaimed album These Days.Legacy
The Everly Brothers have had a total of 26 Billboard Top 40 singles.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.The Everly Brothers have a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame at 7000 Hollywood Blvd.UK Best selling singles artists of all time.They were also accomplished songwriters, penning a number of their own hits, including "Till I Kissed You" (Don), "Cathy's Clown" (Don and Phil), and "When Will I Be Loved" (Phil)."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.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.Albums
