Phil Everly: The Air That I Breathe

The consummate version of "The Air That I Breathe", in my opinion, can be found on the album "Star Spangled Springer" by Phil Everly of the Everly Brothers.

I never knew that Phil Everly sung this before the Hollies. What a beautiful voice he had.

[ElaineStruve]

Phil's voice is so pure and tender. I'm obsessed with this song.

HOLLIES version was great...but this one by Phil is the best.

[gabrielat]

Both this version and The Hollies one are wonderful. Phil had such a natural angelic soft voice! ❤👼🏼

[rogerredford]

Best version of this song EVER!!! Pure melodic art. This was the hit

[joanmullen]

I listened to the everly brothers all my life
Rip you 2 beautiful brothers

[christinemorrall]

Nobody will ever have a beautiful voice which is so natural, as Phil Everly. He was the greatest. ❤

[Nixter]

The Everly Brothers were absolutely unique. Marvellous talent. Rest in peace Don and Phil.

[garfield]

I will never understand why this version wasn't a hit.

Loved EB but from the very beginning, Phil was my favorite. He was always a gentleman and you just knew he was a kind and gentle soul.

I never knew he did anything outside of his duo setup with his brother! This so soulful almost haunting! They just don't breed people now days like these old greats from the 60, s! All they needed was a good voice, a few simple instruments, simple lyrics! No sex, drugs or rap music! We need a time machine and we need it now! I glady take the trip back, to when everything thing seemed wholesome, safe and good!

[ethomas]

Beautiful voice - hypnotic, peaceful, smooth, calming, love…🥰❤️😇💙💛💜💚

Don't get me wrong The Hollies were amazing with this one but Phil brings such a sweet tenderness, so pure and beautiful . Wow he and his brother Don were just magical 💖

[EdmundPlunkett]

So sad that Phil and Don have now left us....no one to touch there harmony's ? No wonder the Beatles loved them ?

[lonelyheroine]

I'm transported to heaven everytime I play this song and still get chills. What an extraordinary talent. We miss you, Phil. But you're up there singing with the angels.

[BENjamin]

What a beautiful rendition. Phil's voice is so sweet & soothing to hear. Absolutely beautiful.

[robertevers]

This song actually helped greatly to psych myself to quit smoking cold turkey in 1992..and I haven't had a puff since.

I don’t think Phil got enough credit for his singing. I knew he had a beautiful voice. I think he was really a good guy. Still miss him. Rest In Peace Phil. 🙏🏼✨🙏🏼✨🙏🏼✨🙏🏼✨🙏🏼✨🙏🏼✨🙏🏼

Beautiful!!! Phil was my favorite!!! He had the best voice and the hardest job doing the harmonizing. He is what made the EB sound!!!
