The Everly Brothers, Don and Phil Everly. They were not only among the most important and best early rock & roll stars, but also among the most influential rockers of any era. They set unmatched standards for close, two-part harmonies and infused early rock & roll with some of the best elements of country and pop music.

The best duo ever! They were also songwriters, penning "Till I Kissed You" (Don), "Cathy's Clown" (Don and Phil), and "When Will I Be Loved" (Phil). 

Don (born Isaac Donald Everly February 1, 1937 in Brownie, a small coal-mining town (now defunct) near Central City, Muhlenberg County, Kentucky) and Phil Everly (born Philip Everly January 19, 1939 in Chicago, Illinois) are country-influenced rock and roll performers. 

The Everlys were country-influenced rock and roll performers, known for steel-string guitar playing on their famous Gibson Everly acoustics and close harmony singing. The brothers were a tremendously successful US rock and roll duo riding high on the Hot 100. They were among the first to be elected to the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1986. 

Phil Everly, who with his brother Don formed an influential harmony duo that touched the hearts and sparked the imaginations of rock `n' roll singers for decades, including the Beatles and Bob Dylan, died on Friday, January 6, 2014. He was 74. 

Rest in peace Phil...

The 1987 follow-up appearance to their
1983 Reunion Concert at the Royal Albert Hall in London.
“Fittingly, London's Royal Albert Hall, site of the reunion, has special significance for the Everlys, for it was there that they last performed with father Ike, who had taught the boys to play guitar and had nurtured their love for music so many years ago.” ~ Reunion Programme
