We take a moment to remember Phil Everly of the legendary Everly Brothers who passed away in 2014..
The brothers' influence on rock and many of the groups or artists who followed them was tremendous.
The brothers' 2-part harmony was imitated by John Lennon and Paul McCartney in Liverpool and lots of other young rockers all over the world.
Rolling Stone wrote this of the brothers:
"The Everly Brothers are the most important vocal duo in rock. The enduring influence of their close, expressive harmonies is evident in the work of British Invasion bands like the Beatles and the Hollies, and of folk-oriented acts such as Simon and Garfunkel, not to mention countless solo artists, among them Dave Edmunds, Gram Parsons, Emmylou Harris, and Linda Ronstadt. "
RIP Phil Everly. Thank you for all of those great songs and harmonies.
