Phil Everly

The Everly Brothers — Isaac Donald "Don" Everly (born February 1, 1937) and Phillip "Phil" Everly (born January 19, 1939) — are American -influenced singers, known for playing and singing. The duo was elected to the in 1986.

Don and Phil Everly are both guitarists and use vocal mostly based on parallel . With this, each line can often stand on its own as a line. This is in contrast to classic harmony lines which, while working well alongside the melody, are not as melodic by themselves.

For most of their recordings, Don sings the baritone part and Phil the tenor part. One exception is on "." Although Don is still low and Phil is high, they switch lead and harmony back and forth. (Also listen to "", a 1962 #9 hit.) Don almost always sings any lines that are sung solo (for example, the verses of "Bye Bye Love"). Among the exceptions to this rule is the Everlys' 1965 single "It's All Over," where Phil sings the song's solo lines.

In the late 1950s, the Everly Brothers were the rock 'n' roll youth movement's addition to vocal groups of which many were family bands. Among the Everly's famous counterparts in country music were , , (McReynolds) and .

The duo's harmony singing had a strong influence on rock groups of the 1960s. , and developed their early singing styles by performing Everly covers.

History Early career

Don was born in , and Phil two years later in . Their father, Ike Everly (1908-1975), was a musician. Ike, with , , and , was honored by the construction of in . Ike Everly had a show on and KFNF in , in the 1940s, with his wife Margaret and two young sons. Singing on the show gave the brothers their first exposure to the music industry. The family sang together and lived and traveled in the area singing as the Everly Family. The Everly Brothers grew up from ages 5 and 7 through early high school in Shenandoah. They are the cousins of actor . The Everly family moved to and the brothers attended Knox West High School, continuing their musical development and first catching the attention of .

As the brothers transitioned out of the family act and into a duo, family friend became an early champion of the Everly Brothers. Despite his affiliation with RCA Records, it was Atkins who engineered a chance for the Everly Brothers to record for in early 1956. However, their first and only single for the label, "Keep A' Lovin' Me," was a flop, and they were quickly dropped from Columbia.

Atkins still encouraged the Everly Brothers to continue, and introduced them to Wesley Rose of music publishers. Impressed with the duo's songwriting talents, Rose told them that if they signed to Acuff-Rose as songwriters, he would also get them a recording deal. The duo signed to Acuff-Rose in late 1956, and by early 1957 Rose had introduced them to , who was looking for artists for his label. The Everlys signed to Cadence, and entered the recording studio for their first Cadence session in February 1957.

Promotional portrait featuring the Everly Brothers, c. 1958

Their first Cadence single, "," had been rejected by 30 other acts (including ), but the Everlys saw potential in the song. Their recording of "Bye Bye Love" reached No. 2 on the charts behind Presley's , hitting No. 1 on the Country and No. 5 on the charts. The song, written by the husband and wife , became the Everly Brothers' first million-seller.

They became stalwarts of the Cadence label. Working with the Bryants, the duo had hits in the United States and the United Kingdom, the biggest being "," "," "" and "Problems," all penned by the Bryants. The Everlys also found success as songwriters, especially with Don's "," which hit No. 4 on the US pop charts.

The brothers toured extensively with during 1957 and 1958. According to Holly biographer Philip Norman, they were responsible for the change in style for Holly and from and to the Everlys' sharp suits. Don claimed Holly to be a generous songwriter who wrote the song "Wishing" for them, while Phil later stated: "We were all from the South. We'd started in country music."

Phil Everly was one of 's pallbearers at his funeral in February 1959, although Don did not attend. He later said, "I couldn't go to the funeral. I couldn't go anywhere. I just took to my bed."
