In 1986, I was part of the small crowd that witnessed Tom Petty present the Everly Brothers with their star on the Hollywood Boulevard Walk of Fame. Standing right next to me was another fan, Elvis Costello, who went unannounced and unacknowledged, just another fan paying his respect to the legendary duo.

I’m a boomer and I totally get it. I’m old enough to remember the Everlys from the late 1950s. They influenced so many up and coming musicians both in the US and the UK. 65 years later, their music is still fabulous. No one has ever come close to capturing the perfection of their harmonies in all those years.

@@actownsend7288 Simon & Garfunkel are both huge fans of the Everlys. I loved that they asked Don and Phil to join them on their tour back in 2003. And not as an “opening act” either but as their special guests in the middle of their show. Very classy.

I went to school w/ Don Everly's kids. His son was/is a musician so it's definitely in the DNA!

my grandmother loved the Everly Brothers and Ricky Nelson. Miss her every day… 🥰

What a cool report! When I was little, of course, my parents had their album and 45s. So, I grew up listening to them. But as a teenager, I didn't make it home from the local drive-in on time one night. My parents said I could only stay long enough to see two of the three featured movies. But when I didn't get home when they expected, they decided to find me. During the third movie, my boyfriend and I, both fast asleep in the front seat of the car in bucket seats, woke to my parents beating on the car windows! After that, they broke out the old Everly Brothers record and played Wake Up Little Suzy constantly! Great memory of some great music!!!

Thank You Every Brothers GOD Bless AMEN Beautiful Family Amen

Harmonies from heaven. I love The EVERLY BROTHERS!!

I was at Simon/Garfunkel Concert in 2003...and could not believe that the Everly Brothers played a couple of songs.....before Social Media! Surprise...CLASSIC.

Thank you for the CBS This Morning report on the legendary Everly Brothers (Don and Phil). Their brand of rockabilly music is the stuff that great musicians are made of. If the melodies capture enough attention, then one is awarded fame (let alone wealth), but if it captures more than enough attention, then one is destined for super stardom, leading to abundant recognition from peers, the public, and those willing to see accolades come to life. Don and Phil are inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and Museum. Although there are gone, the music they left behind remains cherished forever.

Harmony perfection!!💙💙

The music of the Everly brothers is timeless. Their songs always put me in a great mood.

The Everly Brothers, Freddie Mercury, Buddy Holly, so many fabulous people that you wish could live forever; had so much more to give to us. We were so lucky to have had them at all.

I was a teen in the 50s, when all this exploded. Just hearing them makes my heart flutter. These guys, their harmonies. and beats are forever.

Some of the best harmonies in Rock And Roll.

Saw them live here in the UK in the late 80s and early 90s. They were perfection

Their father, Ike Everly, was an accomplished guitar player from Muhlenberg County KY, and was influential in the playing of Merle Travis, the namesake of "Travis Picking", or "Thumb style" picking. This is the same style of playing practiced by by Chet Atkins and Mark Knopfler.

My cousin is 6 years older than I and had all these albums/45s. Must have played Cathy's Clown 100s of times when we went to visit.

The Everly brothers were my moms favorite singers she would tell me that she didn't care for Elvis because she didn't care for the "bad boys" lol! So it was the Everly brothers and Ricky Nelson, and I was given my name from the song Cathy's clown!

Love the Everlys! There harmonies and the way their guitar playing complimented each other. Definitely want one of those double pickguard Gibson s. Thanks for the story

I had a great time turning my son on to their music.🎵 We would have our Everly Brothers CD’s playing them in the truck and singing along.

The Everly Brothers’ voices were so beautiful they sounded as one! They were gorgeous. One of their best albums was “Songs Our Father Taught Us”. And what a surprise to hear Billy Joe Armstrong and Norah Jones cover that album! It is amazing!

Love the Evs; those unmatchable harmonies.

I’m old enough to have been a teen when the Everlys were in their prime. I’ve always loved them and still listen to a CD of their greatest hits. They influenced so many of the greats that came after them.

Thanks 4 the research.... It was a happy time.... But ur right...the Everly brothers still rock on

Bravo! Some beautifully restored footage here.

Still considered by many the best harmonies in rock, especially the groups that tried to imitate them.

That is Joe B. Mauldin with the Fender bass guitar at 4:23 from Buddy Holly's Crickets...!

It's often forgotten that Simon and Garfunkel's first record was a teener heavily inspired by the Every Brothers. "Hey Schoolgirl", released under the name "Tom and Jerry", was a small hit in the NY City area in he late 50s. It's easily found on KZread,

Wonderful video. These two guys made some of the best music ever. I’m going to have to look into the new album put out by their children.

Can you imagine popular music without the Beatles? Lennon and McCartney made it pretty clear that without the Everlys, there would have been no Beatles, who in their early days sometimes referred to themselves as the Foreverly (or maybe Foureverly) Brothers. It's obvious to anyone that the Beatles stole their famous harmonies from the Everlys. They were lucky their voices happened to complement each others, like the brothers did.

Cool segment. Thank you 'Sunday Morning'! Huge Everlys fan.

We’re seeing an Everly Brothers tribute show this Friday, this is great prep!

Don't get me wrong, I love the Everly Brothers, I just really wish that in segments like this more recognition was given to the songwriters. "All I Have to Do Is Dream", "Bye Bye Love", "Wake Up Little Susie" and several others were written by husband and wife Felice and Boudleaux Bryant. They also wrote "Rocky Top" by the way. To be fair, The Everly Brothers did write several of their hits including "Gone, Gone, Gone (Done Moved On)," "Cathy's Clown," and "When Will I Be Loved" among many others. Side note: There are two great documentaries about session musicians out there if interested: The Wrecking Crew and Muscle Shoals.

I don't believe that without the Everly Brothers(who were great)there would be no Tom Petty,CSN etc.These groups and people would have had careers and songs to write and sing,no matter who was around before them.

Both Don and Phil wrote some great songs. However, to reach a a critical mass of material, they needed Boudleaux and Felice Bryant's songs on Cadence Records, whom they left Management failed them, not changing tastes, because country rock became bigger than ever. Also, they never lost popularity in England. In hindsight, their manager should have sat them down, and offered things like the Flying Burrito Brothers. Or the Stones' "Factory Girl" and "Salt of the Earth."

I frequently see comment's Re: "Ahead of their time" etc.... People tend to forget WHO really was ahead of their time . REAL TRAILBLAZERS. Buddy Holly was another, not counting Elvis, Bo Diddley, Gery Lee Lewis & so many more. These were "old hat" artist's for me (!) I grew up with the Stone's & Beatles {in the UK} and for the next 20 year's, Music moved along rapidly. It seem's since the 90's and the last 30 year's, it's stalled. WHY ? An over reliance on computer's and other such wizzadry and NOT people's MIND'S ?????????????????

Lamont at Large (I think it was Lamont at Large) said the brothers riff lasted until death. There was a bit of a healing, but not complete healing.

Not sure why these are called “rarities” as most of the songs on this collection were on one of their biggest albums they ever sold and most songs from their HUGE 1960-1963 period. Misleading title for sure. The only new thing is the remix and remaster.

@Marlena Linne I’m a white guitar player and Ro Ro is right. Listen to Chuck Berry, he came along in the same period, early 50’s and it was electrified and was well ahead of The Everly’s in terms of a rock n roll sound. There were other black musicians from the late 40’s who were also playing electric guitar but are not famous now. I get that Jason Everly is on here promoting his dad and the album, but any rock musician knows the Everly’s didn’t create rock n roll but they were part of its beginnings.

Bob Dylan also a huge Everly Brothers fan. Remember he was a Pop/Rocker before he was a Folkie!!

"Wake up little Suzy" a song about a couple - which could have been two girls, they never say - that fall asleep watching a movie was deemed too hardcore for Boston so they banned it. My God, what kind of an uptight, soulless, half dead zombie do you have to be to find that song offensive? That's like banning "How much is that doggie in the window"
