Yeah, I know, no connection to Holy Cross other than those of us of a certain age grew up loving the Everly Brothers. Perfect harmony and songs that will live forever.

Here's just one link on Don's (the older brother) passing. Unlike the Righteous Brothers, these guys were actual brothers.

P.S. Ignore the picture of the old man. Don and Phil were heartthrobs for the girls in the good old days.

The truth is the truth even if few believe it. A lie is still a lie even if everyone believes it.

Sad to hear another of the major figures of my youth has now left us. I agree that was their best song. I had a first pressing of their first album for many years - then gave it to one of my students who was a record collector. May Don's soul rest in peace and his recordings live on.

Better to light one candle than to curse the darkness.

Their harmonies were incomparable. IIRC they were a huge influence on the Beatles (and many others).

Huge influence on Simon & Garfunkel who covered a couple of their songs ----------------- Wake Up Little Susie was so risque for its time that it was banned by some radio stations in Boston

Great harmonies.

My favorite Everly Brothers song is "So Sad (To Watch Good Love Go Bad)."

In reading his obituary, two things stood out for me. The first is that he was married four times (see above paragraph). The second, and more impressive, is that he is survived by his mother. Some searching indicates that Margaret Everly was born in November 1919, so she will be 102 come November.

This is my favorite song also. Pretty heartbreaking. It was also sad that the brothers were estranged for so many years.
