-Our Intro Song "Feel the Love" From Alex's band
open.spotify.c...
The influence The Everly Brothers had on the Beatles, Paul Simon, and pretty much the remainder of early rock, cannot be overstated.
Simon & Garfunkel did a fun version of this song during The Concert in Central Park, it's on the album.
Phil and Don Everly had perfect harmonies. Perfect.
This is back when you had to. You couldn't really even do overdubs much at that time.
@@eboethrasher Stereo was the best they had at the time. Two tracks. Perform or go home.
If only they could along, and not constantly fight, break up, then get back together, they could have put out so much more great music.
Family voices make the best harmony because they are so similar.
@@eboethrasher not only no overdubs, but a lot of this era was everybody in one room. You do a couple takes and choose the best one. No multitrack, no tape splices, just straight up live performance with a some basic levels and balancing.
Funny interpretation! This is the 50's-- they DID fall asleep at a boring movie and miss their curfew-- now they're dismayed that everyone will think they engaged in hanky panky.
I agree. It wasn't unheard of to fool around, but it was more common to obey the parental units.
They fell asleep at the Crive Through Movie Show
@@armadillotoethat's not the actual case. The highest teenage pregnancy rate in the U.S. was in the 1950's
@@maceomaceo11Nope. When they introduced Sex Education into the schools pregnancies and STD’s skyrocketed
@@Maria-z7h5b Drive-in movie.
Hard to overstate the impact of the Everly Brother, their sound is unmistakable…
Cathy’s Clown, Bye Bye Love, and All I Have to do is Dream are musts
Don't forget the classic bird dog song.😅
And many more . . . Let it Be Me - Love Hurts - Ebony Eyes - Crying in the Rain . . . the list goes on to at least 50 tunes! They were good, one of the best, in fact. (Check out their '60s take on Dylan's "Knockin' on Heaven's Door" . . . really.)
Don Everly taught Keith Richards the open G 5 string tuning, pretty much forming the foundation of the Rolling Stones' distinctive sound. 💜☮
I did not know this...thank you..
Don Everly used open tunings a lot, but Keith Richards inspiration to use Open G was Ry Cooder who recorded with the Stones in 1969.
@@Rainyman63 And also Ike Turner
Sorry.. Ike learned it from Keith
Cool!!
The Everly Brothers are one of the most important and influential acts in the rock era. Their unique sound is heard every genre from rock to country. They are also one of a handful of acts in both The Rock and Roll snd Country Halls Of Fame.
Their greatest hits include:
"Bird Dog", "Cathy's Clown", "Crying In The Rain", "Bye, Bye, Love", "'Til I Kissed Her", "All I Have To Do Is Dream", "Walk Right Back".
Every one of those are great choices!
Great choices
Let It Be Me
Sort of like Brother Ray-excelled at all forms of popular music and R&R. Let it Be Me, to me, is a very accurate and painful song about the college years.
That four-chord run in the middle of the chorus is one of the pillars of rock and roll.
Definitely can hear it in Deep Purple's "Highway Star".
Wow!! 1958 I was eight years old. The Everly Brothers were my first 45's. I now have over 10,000 lp's and 45's. Thanks Everly Brothers for getting me started collecting.
I was 6 years old and loved this song! I would be singing it all the time.
I'll have those records if you die or decide to give up material things. Just saying. Live long (unless you decide you will leave me your collection). ;)
That is an astounding accomplishment!
@@CowmanUK Last year when my dad passed, the conversation turned to wills; my two sisters were on both sides of me in the back seat of a small car, arguing about which of my records they should have, while I shrunk in anguish between them. I finally said, "STOP"! And they did, and apologized for acting like I was already dead. But it does make me think, what happens to all those meticulously collected albums, which I've kept in good shape...they might be worth money. It's a bitch getting old and having to think about this stuff.
I was 8 yrs old then as well. The Everleys were GREAT 👍💯
These guys are underrated. The Beatles were HEAVILY influenced by this sound.
They did win a Lifetime Achievement Grammy and are in both the rock and country halls of fame as well as The Vocal Group Hall of Fame. They also have a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. I'm not saying I disagree with you. They are underrated, I'm just illustrating that they did get their flowers and even that doesn't go far enough for how great they were.
Their harmony!
A lot of bands were
Oh stop with the underrated nonsense already. It’s like a plague on RUclips that word.
@@samcook1545
I certainly don't think they're underrated. Underappreciated is a better word. But most knowledgeable music fans know better.
Good one boys It's interesting to note, that The Beatles kept on saying how these guys were such a major influence on both their songwriting and especially on their entire vocal approach. Over the years, they repeatedly mentioned how hard they worked on trying to sound just like them, with this really close two-part vocal harmony sound. If you think about it, that may be the very essence of the Beatle sound itself, that two-part vocal sound. Simon and Garfunkel said almost the same thing. So these dudes weren't just some flash in the pan. They were a very important foundational piece of what would come after in so many ways. I thought your comments on the lyrics and guitar work were spot on too! Keep up the great work gents!
Completely agree!!!
I know that Simon and Garfunkel covered "Bye Bye Love". They did a version of "Wake Up, Lil Suzy" during The Concert in Central Park.
It was either John or Paul that said that when they were harmonizing, they doing the Everly Brothers.
One of those that can be rightly called founding members of Rock n Roll.
Their harmonies were impeccable and influenced so many legendary artists including The Beatles and Simon & Garfunkel. Please hit “Cathy’s Clown” next!!!
Welcome to the origin of just about every vocal harmony you've ever heard in rock and pop music. The Everly Brothers were a HUGE influence on just about every band that came after them, including the Beatles, Beach Boys, and their contemporaries. So, pretty much every band modeled their vocal harmonies on the Everly Brothers or on a band that did!
I am fortunate to have seen them on their farewell tour about 25 years ago. Took my mother who loved them as a teenager. Great memory!
Other songs to do are "Cathy's Clown", "Bye Bye Love", and "Let It Be Me".
"Let is be me" is such a gorgeous song!
Mark Knopfler grew up listening to the Everly Brothers and wrote “Why Worry” with them in mind. He’s said that getting to do that song with them on TV (check out the video on RUclips) was one of the highlights of his career.
4am?? What could they have been doing? Cathy's Clown is gorgeous, so is Dream, Crying in the Rain. The Beatles loved them.
The Hollies liked them so much they served as their backing band on an album.
@@seed_drill7135 Which album?
@@DawnSuttonfabfour Two Yanks In England, fittingly enough.
@@seed_drill7135 Is it good/great/awful?
@@DawnSuttonfabfour It's got some really good stuff on it and a few ill advised covers. It's a shame they'd fallen off the radar in the US by then.
When I was a kid, I would hear this song on the tv show Happy Days. It was a 70's show that took place in the 50's
Don actually won the Iconic Guitar Riff award from the Musicians Hall of Fame for this in 2019. When it first came out, this song was banned in Boston for being 'too racy.' The thing is, the kids really did just fall asleep at the movie (the movie wasn't so hot, it didn't have much of a plot, we fell asleep, our goose is cooked, our reputation is shot.,) but many still think they did the deed.
Yeah, I was listening to this thinking about the ban and again, censors so often are just not paying attention. The whole story of the song is they literally fell asleep during a boring movie.
@@FloraWest Fun fact, when Boudleaux Bryant (he and his wife, Felice wrote the song,) heard that it was banned, he was thrilled. He knew it would drive sales up, and it did.
@@redhead2376 Ha! Hadn't heard that. Banning is so often a marketing win-thanks, censors!
@@FloraWest I know, right?!
It's a myth that it was banned in Boston. I grew up five miles north of Boston and it got tons of airplay on all the major radio stations. The city never banned the song. What actually happened was that the Cardinal Cushing, the Archbishop of Boston, did attempt to stop radio stations from playing the song, taking out full page ads in Boston newspapers condemning the song. His campaign against the song actually had little effect. I listened mostly to the four biggest stations that played top 40 hits and none stopped playing the song. I did learn later that there were less than a handful of smaller local stations in eastern Massachusetts that did actually stop playing it, and a few disc jockeys that refused to play it on their shows, but that was voluntary, the song was never banned anywhere in the Boston area or in Massachusetts.
The riff has been inducted into the musician hall of fame.
theses guys harmonies influenced EVERYONE
Everly Brothers are gods in the pop/rock'n'roll pantheon. Their music will never die.
“All I have to do is dream” and “Devoted to You” are my favorites.
There’s nothing like the harmonies that siblings can make when they sing.
S Tier for their overall influence. Simon and Garfunkel were huge fans and tried to emulate those harmonies (for example “Cecilia”)
Now that you said that, I can't unhear the similarities
The Beatles harmonies were also influenced by the Everlys.
In 1982, Simon And Garfunkel released a cover of “Wake Up Little Susie”. They performed it during a concert in Central Park. Their version hit the top 40.
They performed it very close to the original version, except for some keyboards.
There's a really nice current video of Art Garfunkel singing a duet of "Devoted to you" with his son. Art can't hit the high notes anymore but his son inherited his angelic voice.
Simon & Garfunkel covered at least a couple of Everly Brothers songs, "Bye Bye Love" on the "Bridge Over Troubled Water" album and "Wake Up Little Susie" from the Central Park concert.
The brothers influenced a LOT of artists, from rock to soul and country. They are legitimate legends.
Anthony Kiedes the lead singer of the Red Hot Chilli Peppers apparently is such a fan of the Everly brothers that he named his son Everly!
One of the greatest music influencers ever.
Their voices were hypnotic
This song's message is definitely of its time.
This actually happened to me and Mary Lou when we were 16. Back seat at drive-in. We fell asleep. e wake up and there is no one in the drive-in. The lights are on (I never knew drive-ins had lights to light up the whole lot). 3am and we had to answer a lot of questions at her house. Then I had to answer a lot of questions at my house. Everyone keep their eyes on us for the next 6 months.
Hadn't heard this song in at least 50 years and I still could sing every word with them.
Perfect harmony, no auto tune, probably only a few takes, real talent! ❤❤
Wife here. Love Everly Brothers saw them years back . They were great. Beautiful harmony together. Influenced many that came later. Let it Be Me .
Love, love, love The Everly Brothers! Their vocal harmonies and guitar styles influenced so many bands, they were just amazing.
These guys are pioneers and national treasures.
They are GIANTS! So many brilliant songs to hear, many of which they wrote. Don was a very influential rhythm guitar player. Phil the greatest harmony singer of all time.
🎼”Wake up Little Susie,
wake up!”
Damnit! I’m singing it in my head everywhere I go today!
Thanks guys, and you ain’t even played it yet! Premieres in 13 minutes!
They got tons of hits, Cathy’s Clown is my favorite of theirs.
The Everly's were highly influential on the Beatles, Linda Ronstadt, Simon and Garfunkel and many others.
Tons of golden early 50’s and early 60’s oldies worthy of hitting. Rumble, Summertime Blues, oh, about 50 Chuck Berry classics, Runaround Sue, Hang On Sloopy.
These 2 guys were pioneers in the creation of Rock & Roll. There were named the greatest duo in the history of rock by Rolling Stone. And were in the first class inducted into the Rock & Roll HOF, they are also in the Musicians, Country Music, Kentucky & Songwriters Hall of Fame. In later years they raised money to support their hometown (Central City, Ky) & surrounding Muhlenberg county. The area was hard hit when the coal mines in the area shut down. They continued to record & tour until 2007, phil passed in 2014 & Don passed in 2021.
The opening guitar riff by Don Everly is classic. CLASSIC!!!!
One of the deepest rabbit holes you can explore
Great reaction guys! The Everly's were part of that Rock n Roll revolution! They brought the 'country' side to it, AND immaculate vocal harmonies (that influenced The Beach Boys, Simon & Garfunkel, The Beatles - basically any group that involves vocal harmonics could trace influence to Phil & Don!)
Both could sing lead (and each other's parts), both could play guitar - quite well I might add!
HIGHLY recommend a deep dive into them!
Bye Bye Love, Crying In The Rain, All I Have To Do Is Dream, Ebony Eyes, Walk Right Back, Cathy's Clown, Till I Kissed You, Devoted To You, Bird Dog...all are essential listening!
They're my dad's #1 'group' - and he was a teenager when they came out, so heard it all. He played them a lot, so it's likely why I'm a big, BIG fan! Cheers.
You guys need to check out the EB's "high lonesome" harmonies. Try "I Know I'll Love Again" or "When Will I Be Loved." You can't go wrong with any Everly Brothers song.
Your Deep Purple comment was spot on. The rock band Nazareth had a huge hit with the Everly Brothers song Love Hurts. You should react to both.
BTW: The Beatles idolized the Everly Brothers.
Yes, "Love Hurts" by Nazareth is a must-hear for them. Good call!
@@scottmarleneking6298 Nazareth had a naughty song of their own-Hair of the Dog. Well, naughty in that they cursed.
A friend’s school had a jukebox in their cafeteria. They played that song constantly and the teachers had no idea what they were singing. 🤣
Hair of the Dog relies heavily on the Beatles' Day Tripper riff with a couple of extra notes.
Their harmonies are fantastic. My mother had two of their record albums when I was a little kid and we used to play them constantly. Every song was great.
Love that you covered these guys. So underrated.
"All I Have to Do Is Dream" and "Bye, Bye Love" are so iconic I can't imagine a world where they don't exist.
"Cathy's Clown" is another A+ track with great lyrics as well. Their harmonies are so on point it's hard to even understand what's going on. I suggest seeing a live video of them - that's when their greatness really clicked for me!
Back in the late '50's, early '60's EVERYONE wanted to be the Everly Brothers, most notably The Beatles.
When I was Andy & Alex age, I played in a working cover band that did late '50's to early '70's songs. As anyone that's played live professionally knows, one of the things you learn is to open with a song you know you can nail rolling out of bed. It's a great way to calm your stage nerves and connect with the audience immediately. This was our opening song - never failed.
They did one of the prettiest ballads ever, "Let It Be Me." Played at a LOT of weddings back in the day.
That's the core of the song: an innocent accident, makes everyone think something else happened. 65 yrs later & still a great listen, that's remarkable. "Cathy's Clown" is great, too.
A REAL SHOCKER,, This #1 1960 Classic hit will DEFINITELY surprise you that a song this early SLAPS SO HARD!! Johnny Kidd & The Pirates "Shakin' All Over"...R.I.P. Johnny 🙏❤️
I saw these guys open for Simon & Garfunkel in the 2000's, and they sounded JUST at good. It was crazy.
These guys ae worth a deep dive.
The Everly Brothers' "Let It Be Me" is my second favorite love song....just behind "At Last" by Etta James.
It's a gorgeous love song.
This was the 50's, they went to the drive-in movie and fell asleep. Nothing nefarious going on
OK.
Oh, there was plenty of nefarious goin' on in '50s drive-ins! 😁
@creech54 Maybe, but not in this song IMO.
@@texasca9753Huh? In this song quite likely.
@BOOMNERD51 I just don't think so, the vibe and tone is wrong to me. I don't see that in the lyrics either.
The Everly Brothers' harmonies were a huge influence on the music of the 60s. The Beatles, Jan & Dean, The Byrds, and most obviously Simon & Garfunkel were heavily indebted to their sound. "Bye Bye Love" and "All I Have to Do is Dream" are two more Everlys classics. Late on in their career the Everlys toured with Simon and Garfunkel and appeared with them onstage... which given the history of squabbling between both duos must have been an interesting time! RIP Don and Phil Everly.
Some great guitar shredding in Be-Bop-A-Lula. And every song is knocked out in under 2 minutes 30 seconds.
Innocence personified. Enjoy your weekend boyz. L💞ve from Canada.🍻
More live from Canada ❤
Their harmonies were so influential! Kind of Rockabilly guitar style. I couldand would go on and on! ❤
Little Rockabilly Pop , they had fantastic harmonies
The Everly Brothers were great!!
They were a major influence on Simon and Garfunkel.
I first heard the Everly Brothers in 1957 when I was ten years old and I am now 77 and still listening to them. Listen to some '80s Everlys, including their cover of Mark Knopfler's "Why Worry." Or their great ballad from earlier, "Let It Be Me." Don and Phil were incredible singers and musicians and their influence can be heard in many acts that followed, like Simon & Garfunkel, Tom Petty and more.
Since A&A really like Fleetwood Mac and Lindsey Buckingham's guitar work, it might surprise you to hear that I think Lindsey's last gig before joining Fleetwood Mac was as musical director for Don Everly's backing band on a tour where Lindsey sang Phil Everly's parts.
This is the most arcane piece of trivia I've ever heard!!!! (open admiration, not criticism)
@@scottmarleneking6298 You may like this one too then - Warren Zevon also played and toured (as keyboardist and musical coordinator) with the Everly Brothers from '70 to '75 before his solo success.
Beautiful brother harmony. Nothing like it.
I learned to dance with this song!!!
So let me first say, I was a massive Everly Brothers fan from a baby. I’m that old. Born in 1955 and would sing this song on demand for anyone anywhere at the tender age of two/three years old. HAHA! You need to take a deep dive into their catalog because these guys influenced everyone. Their harmonies, as brothers, were unmatched. An example being Cathy’s Clown which still gives me chills to this day whenever I hear it. They were there from the beginning and their music still holds up today.
Phil and Don. Great voices and amazing acoustic players
Cathy's Clown and Walk Right Back are two of their best songs, imo, because it shows off their harmonies.
Sibling harmonies. Amazing. 👏👏👏
A&A, you'll love their "Bye Bye Love", "All I Have to Do Is Dream" and "Cathy's Clown" !!! Their harmonies were very influential to the music that followed!
I’ve got dozens and dozens of their songs on MP3 (remember those?). So good!
@@moniphil yup!
And "Let It Be Me"--love that one too!
All of the songs mentioned! I especially love Cathy's Clown.
All of the songs mentioned! I especially love Cathy's Clown.
OMG ... I loved that this song won the survey.
My Dad had that album (with that cover) I grew up listening to this album in the early sixties through seventies. I still have the album and I probably remember every song on that album.
So glad you liked it!
These brothers ( actual brothers) influenced so many later groups, including the Beatles, Simon and Garfunkel, plus their songs have been covered by The Who, Nazereth, The Rolling Stones, and others.
They split for about ten years, then got back together again in the early '80's and put out more albums.
Always Drive A Cadillac, is a beauty from that era.
My daughter was a professional singer and has always loved these guys..."Dad, no one harmonizes like The Everly Brothers!" I got to be a huge fan, back when I was around 10, at the start of their career. Yup, I am an old fart...lol!
By the way, I love your reactions better than others, because you are musicians and know what you are talking about, keep up the good work.
Other songs they did in the '50's and early '60's were Claudette, Bird Dog, That's Old Fashion, Lucille, Hey Doll Baby, Rip It Up, Temptation, So Sad, Til I Kissed Ya, Problems, and many others.
Paul McCartney wrote 'On The Wings of a Nightingale' for them, as a thank you.
Legends of legends that so many attempted to emulate though few achieved!
They had so many great absolute hits - all over the radio back then. You can't go wrong with any of them, but Bye Bye Love and All I Have to Do is Dream are two of my favorites. For another song with funny lyrics try Chuck Berry's No Particular Place to Go.
This song used to be my alarm clock music. 😆
That would be a good one if your name is Suzy. 😂
Thank you for this. Please do more of them. All I Have to Do is Dream is absolutely gorgeous.
This was one of the first songs I remember loving and buying the single with my allowance. I remember listening to it on the radio as my mom was driving me to summer camp. 😁
This is one of my favorite 50’s songs and watch out - it’s an earsorm!
And you were right - the Polk was all over the place !
Early rock and roll at its finest.
Wow, talk about a Blast from the Past!!! I immediately became a 4-year-old singing this song around the house, and many of the other songs from this album. "Bye, Bye Love" "Cathy's Clown" "Bird Dog" all good stuff.
When I was little my dad was out to sea quite a bit (27 years USN), and my mom would always have music playing in the house. One of the albums she played was an Everly Brothers greatest hits album. Apparently after they broke up and spent several years apart, they got back together in the 60s and re-recorded all their hits -- and that's the album she played. While I'm a fan of original 50s songs, the re-recorded Everly Brothers songs are soooooo smooth, and their harmonies benefit from the updated equipment. It is one of the first albums I downloaded when digital downloads became mainstream, and I listen to it regularly. The whole album is so good. If you're feeling squirrely, check out Cathy's Clown. Thank you, Mom, for the gift of music!!!!!! And thank you, Andy and Alex for being open to reacting to something like this. That's what makes you guys the best! [cool story, bro, right?]
My Dad, who grew up in the 50s, used to sing this song to me when I was little.
Can't you just see kids dancing at the sock hop to this song??? Such a classic!!!!
These guys are awesome! Def listen to Cathy’s Clown!! It’s insane!
50's pop/rock and roll started it all. I'm glad you guys are showing it some respect. I think the early 60's girl groups are my favorite though. The industry was different back then. Still finding it's way.
It wasn't that the kids were doing anything wrong. They were at a drive-in-movie theater on a date. The movie was exceptionally boring and they both fell asleep. He woke up in a panic. It was 4 in the morning and the theater was empty. How in the world was he going to explain that to her parents, not to mention the teasing they knew they were going to get from their friends. I grew up in the 50's-60's. Things like that happened. In fact it happened to my wife and I on our second date, although it was in a movie theater house not a drive in theater. The movie was so boring that we both fell asleep and woke up as the lights came up and people started getting up to leave the theater at the end of the movie. Anyway, this is a classic from the early years of rock and roll. Thanks for reacting to it.
I remember listening to this on my transistor radio under my pillow when I was 10 and, it could have been naughty but we knew it wasn’t…
Oh la la. Reputation was important and good was still good
Always love these guys, they have some great songs!
My mom had their lp’s that I’d play and play! I was very young but I had a blast singing and dancing around!!
THIS was my mom and dad's song! It had actually happened to them (fell asleep at the drive-in movie) when they were dating in the 50's. Man, how many times had I heard one or the other of them sing it to the other.....
I’m thinking a drive-in theater, all the car are gone except one, and the windows are all steamed up. What are we gonna tell our friends when they say ooo la la. That line always cracked me up.
What I really appreciate and enjoy about you guys is that you don't interrupt the songs. So many other reaction channels repeatedly pause the songs and it kills the flow. You listen in one shot which gives you a good feel for the song and then give thoughtful reactions. Well done.
A 100% MUST HEAR Classic,, Jimmie Rodgers "Kisses Sweeter Than Wine"..Great Song,, Story & Lyrics..TRUST ME on this one my music lovin' brothers. 🔥❤️🔥
Finally, someone reacting to Everly Brothers, so important to music & their singing & harmonies are perfection
Y'all are so right, their song "Love Hurts" was covered by Nazareth and became a huge hit. Also Robert Plant and Allison Krauss covered "Gone, Gone, Gone" on their record "Raising Sand". Super stuff!
This is one of the first songs I remember as kid. 1950's R&R and Rockabilly was dope. I'm 75 and a musician. I've never use the term "dope" before, but I reckon I might have done some....(:
My Mom loved them, and I grew up hearing their records playing in our house. So much talent.
