The Everly Brothers: The Untold Truth

Country-tinged rock and roll duo The Everly Brothers, consisting of Isaac Donald "Don" Everly and Phillip "Phil" Everly, were one of the most influential acts of the 20th century. The duo had a whopping 35 Top 100 singles, including "Cathy's Clown," "Bye Bye Love," and "Wake Up Little Susie," and were major influences on rock and roll titans like The Beatles and The Rolling Stones. The Fab Four, in fact, even referred to themselves as "the British Everly Brothers." But there was darkness behind the sweet smiles, magical harmonies, and clean-cut personas. This is The Everly Brothers: The Untold Truth.

What's your favorite song from The Everly Brothers?

[Pattiepies]

I'm 73 and love I'll do my crying in the rain ... And ever other song they ever sang.

[jmad]

Chuck Berry said once, that I’m aware of, that nobody sang two part harmony better than the Everlys.

[Suzigrad]

I was about 10 when the Everly’s became huge! Maybe 8 or 9 when I heard them on the radio! Love at first sound! They had it all! Thanks for showcasing them! Clean cut and just nice! When Phil joined Cliff Richard I knew it was magical! ❤🎉. Their harmonies touched us! 😊

[MrPoppaGeorgio]

Never clicked on a video soooo fast. I'm 30 and I love many of their songs! Especially Cathy's clown!

[geoffreyvanvugt]

They invented duo close harmony. Simply the best.

[joegeorge]

They were the greatest singer's of the 50s and 60s their harmony together was impeccable

Thr Everly Brothers music will live forever

The Everly Bros. were the inspiration for the Warren Zevon classic "Werewolves of London." At the time, Warren was the Everly's bandleader and Waddy Wachtel was the guitarist in that band. One of the brothers suggested that Warren write a dance song called "Do the Werewolf." Zevon mentioned the project when Waddy stopped by his hotel room and Waddy said "You mean...Awooo?" WZ answered in the affirmative and the rest is history. From being seen with a Chinese menu to the seducing of "little old ladies" to perfect hair...Lon Chaney and Lon Chaney, jr. were Phil and Don. Draw blood.

I'm a 77 year old retired lorry driver. I must admit to shedding a tear or two when first of all Warren Zevon died, then Phil Everly and finally Don. It's tough to imagine them all gone. Margaret Everly, the boys mother lived for an amazing 102 years.

They have to make a movie about these two💯

[billbrimmer]

“Cryin’ in the Rain” to me was always their best single. It was hard to choose with so many great songs.

[patriciasanders]

Phenomenal duo with harmony the likes of which we will never hear again, thank you Phil and Don for sharing your amazing irreplaceable talents with us all, love you forever ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

[ellenmillere]

I loved their music, it was smooth and dreamy . Dream- and Bye Bye Love, and all the others. It's so sad that being famous brings so many to lives of problem relationships and addictions.

[annemariavonroith]

We love them so much! I am from the Netherlands, this lovely brothers, with there fantastic songs, have been in the house. Now I am living since a long time in Germany and I have them still in the house! Very sympatic! Wonderful music!

[davidmcpherson]

I feel so old now! Saw them in the 90’s @ Amway Convention in Salt Lake. They were great!

[lupehernandez]

They brought joy and still do to my life . I miss them too.

[doriswilliams]

Dream Cathy's Clown when will I be loved ? All were great We loved yall

[Mamadukee]

I was lucky to see them in Birmingham's NEC, in the early Nineties, I was ten rows from the front, they took my breath away with their Voices and Pure talent, I will never

I went to school with Don Jr. at SLO. I met Don Sr.. what an amazing man! Mark Draper was Jr's freshman roomate on the 1st floor of our dorm. Bobby Hatrield Jr. gave me rides home to Laguna from SLO and sometimes we would hang out in Newport Beach with his family!
