On August 21, 2021 we received the sad news that Don Everly of The Everly Brothers passed away. Don Everly, 84, died at his home in Nashville. He formed the legendary rock and roll duo The Everly Brothers with his brother Phil. Together they had worldwide hits in the late 50s and early 60s with “Bye bye love“ and “All I have to do is dream“. In 1984 on their comeback they scored “On the wings of a nightingale“. This exclusive live video is the YouTube premiere of the concert the Everly Brothers did in 1984 in the Netherlands. Rest in peace, Don! The Everly Brothers were an American country-influenced rock and roll duo, known for steel-string acoustic guitar playing and close harmony singing. Consisting of Isaac Donald “Don“ Everly (born February 1, 1937 - August 21, 2021) and Phillip “Phil“ Jason Everly (January 19, 1939 – January 3, 2014), the duo was raised in a musical family, first appearing on radio singing along with their father Ike Everly and mother Margaret Everly as “The Everly Family“ in the 1940s. When the brothers were still in high school, they gained the attention of prominent Nashville musicians like Chet Atkins, who began to groom them for national attention. They began writing and recording their own music in 1956, and their first hit song came in 1957, with “Bye Bye Love“, written by Felice and Boudleaux Bryant. The song hit number 1 in the spring of 1957, and additional hits would follow through 1958, many of them written by the Bryants, including “Wake Up Little Susie“, “All I Have to Do Is Dream“, and “Problems“. In 1960, they signed with the major label Warner Bros. Records and recorded “Cathy’s Clown“, written by the brothers themselves, which was their biggest selling single. The brothers enlisted in the United States Marine Corps Reserve in 1961, and their output dropped off, though additional hit singles continued through 1962, with “That’s Old Fashioned (That’s the Way Love Should Be)“ being their last top-10 hit. In October 1984 the Everly Brothers visited the Netherlands to headline the annual Dutch television show ’AVRO’s Platengala’. Their single ’On The Wings Of A Nightingale’ reached its highest position of #4 in the in the Dutch Top 10 on that very day, 13 October 1984.
