I never knew that they were Marines. Oohrahh!! And Col John Glenn (a Marine, as well) was in the audience. How cool is that?!

[owllanstar]

My grandpa and I used to listen to these guys all the time and I loved them so much. I lost my Grandpa yesterday. He lived to be 80 years old, and he fought in the Vietnam War. He’s the greatest Marine I’ve ever met

[lonigriego]

RIP to both of these talented men, best harmonies ever

[EbonyFulton]

So wonderful xx love them forever ❤ xx

Simon and Garfunkel harmonized their voices extremely well, but they both said they never heard harmonizing until the Everly Brothers! Don and Phil thank you 4 your service as U.S. Marines . Heaven is a better place having both of you ! Rest in peace!

[SandyBowyer-xzjo]

Real music .... Not the trash of today Bring back this wonderful sound 💓 one can hear and understand every word !

[sherrimaeshima]

Their harmonizing is unmatched! ❤️❤️🇺🇸🇺🇸

Their songs always bring tears to my eyes. They are so haunting.

This wonderful song and appearance on Sullivan earned the Everly's their biggest hit in two years and it would be the last time they would reach the top 6 on the Billboard chart. They looked great in their Marine uniforms, along with the buzzed haircut, and sounded as great as ever.

I didn't know they served our country as Marines either, that's a great tribute that the Everly Brothers served, as well as Elvis. One of the best singing and guitar playing duos of all time, the Everly Brothers are the all time greats of rock and pop music. They were my favorites as a young kid, and Buddy Holly as well.

It was just so effortless of them to sing in such a glorious manner

[anombrerose]

They were so wonderful and sweet, gorgeous voices and harmony.
Always a pure joy to listen to, never embarrassing or crude.

Ed Sullivan was so iconic. No one has ever been able to mirror him. It was so exciting to see all of the day's talent on his song each Sunday night.

I am 80 years old. Don and Phil still bring tears into my heart with their angelic, sensitive sweet harmony. God, s finest musical artists .Bless you both

Watching in November 2024. My husband and I saw them in concert in Manchester, England many many years ago and they didn't disappoint. How we miss their brilliance.❤

[davidw.robertson]

I loved the Everly Brothers. Their "All have to Do is Dream" was one of the very first songs I listened to it constantly as a teenager in the 1950's.

[crabtreeshep]

Love these guys. Still listening to them a lot and can't get enough of their unique harmony. Oohrahh!!!

[RONCOR]

I knew Don was a marine, but Phil too! What a historic piece of film. Great American performers...
