Phil Everly R.I.P

[simon the viking]

The word "LEGEND" is bandied around far too much now days but a true legend Phil Everly of the duo The Everly Brothers has died......

RIP Phil.... your best music was created before I was born but my dad (don't they always) Introduced me to your music in the 80's Wake up little suzie and Bye Bye Love has got me many round of applause at Karaokes

My mum was a huge fan so I was brought up listening to their music in the 60's and 70's and came to love it for myself.
Very sad.

Sad news indeed. Made lots of great records from the 50s through to the 80s, some good solo stuff too. Pleased to have seen them live the last time they played in the UK. A first-class act.

 

[Cycleops]

Iconic duo. Wonderful music. Unfortunately goes to show what a lifetime of smoking can do. RIP.

 

[Lullabelle]

Another good un gone, RIP

A sad day. I learned a couple of Everly songs when I took up the guitar, back when dinosaurs still walked the earth. They still get played from time to time.

I saw them at their reunion tour at the Hammersmith Apollo . Bloody amazing harmonies and will always stick in my mind as the sweetest voices I have ever heard .

Maybe he will meet his ebony eyes.
That should have been the B side to walk right back.

Another legend gone, sad news.

I was watching BBC news last night/this morning and had the subtitles on. Did they mess it up?? Of course they did!!

Apparently Phil from 'The Elderly Brothers' had died.

They very quickly corrected it, but it still made me smile.

Cheers @Mort, the Humax is ready to rock.

 

[Crackle]

Is he really dead or just sound asleep and in trouble deep.

I only had them on lp, all long gone. I need to visit Amazon.

 

[Crackle]

I enjoyed that, particularly the concert after.

The 2 DP mentions up thread are essential, if you want one with some 50s classics this Bear Family disc is superb, pin sharp sound, bit pricier but great remastering and excellent booklet.
