So very saddened to hear this. I always enjoyed listening to them.

I guess I'm a bit surprised that you youngsters even knew about them, since the Everly Brothers were of my generation.

Mine too, Bird. Sure did enjoy listening to them sing. My favorite was, "Cathy's Clown". They both served in the Marine Corps as well.

RIP Phil.
Saw the Everly's in 1971 or 72 at Knotts Berry Farm. IIRC it was their final performance before breaking up (the 1st of several breakups/reunions).

I listen to a lot of the "Golden Oldies", Bird. Better than most of what they crank out today!

A half century ago I heard them at 'original' Roof Garden Ballroom in Okoboji Iowa when legendary Drummer J.I. Allison was touring with them. Not like today, I could have reached out and touched their shoes at the front of the stage back then.
