Mid-Week Songs: Everly Brothers

 

The Everly Brothers were among the true pioneers of rock music, melding pop, country and folk music genres into multiple hits beginning in the late 1950s. They influenced a range of musicians to come like the Beatles, Beach Boys and Simon and Garfunkel. Don Everly, who passed away in 2021, would have celebrated his 86th birthday today (brother Phil passed away in 2014). Here are two of their hits, "All I Have To Do Is Dream," and "Cathy's Clown," their biggest hit, both performed during a tour of the UK in 1960.
