Phil Everly of the Everly Brothers died on Friday at age 74.  From the NYT<\/a>:<\/span><\/p>\n

The Everlys brought tradition, not rebellion, to their rock \u2019n\u2019 roll. Their pop songs reached teenagers with Appalachian harmonies rooted in gospel and bluegrass. [. . .]<\/span><\/p>\n

They often sang in close tandem, with Phil Everly on the higher note and the brothers\u2019 two voices virtually inseparable. That sound was part of a long lineage of country \u201cbrother acts\u201d like the Delmore Brothers, the Monroe Brothers and the Louvin Brothers. In an interview in November, Phil Everly said: \u201cWe\u2019d grown up together, so we\u2019d pronounce the words the same, with the same accent. All of that comes into play when you\u2019re singing in harmony.\u201d <\/span><\/p>\n

Paul Simon, whose song \u201cGraceland\u201d includes vocals by Phil and Don Everly, said in an email on Saturday morning: \u201cPhil and Don were the most beautiful sounding duo I ever heard. Both voices pristine and soulful. The Everlys were there at the crossroads of country and R&B. They witnessed and were part of the birth of rock and roll.\u201d <\/span><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

You may remember it from Linda Ronstadt's version<\/a>, but the Everlys did it first:  When Will I be Loved?<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n

Carole King wrote it<\/a>, but Don and Phil made it a hit: Crying in the Rain<\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n

Bye Bye Love<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n

All I Have to Do is Dream<\/a>.  YouTuber comment:  <\/span><\/p>\n

RIP Phil Everly. We can never thank you enough for the music and memories of a bygone era, long past, when cars were chariots of Chrome gleaming in the moonlight and shades of neon in the heat of summer…I still remember the crackle of the AM radio with reverb….Nothing can replace Phil and those days.<\/span><\/div>\n<\/blockquote>\n
