Temptations, Beach Boys, Righteous Brothers, and several more. The Everly Brothers were one of the earliest, and showed how it should be done. Perfection.
Their harmonies are legendary. In fact, when some people do originals people will say, "That sounds like the Everly Brother's harmony" You won't hear that about anybody else. Last time I saw them live was at the 1984 New Orleans World's Fair...magical!
All I have to do is Dream was one of my favorite songs and still is. Maybe because my husband of 52 years sang it to me when we were dating. Love all the Everly Brothers songs.
I went through Marine Boot Camp in MCRD, San Diego in 1961. After boot camp I went through 2nd ITR at Camp Pendleton. 2nd ITR is 2nd infantry battalion for Marines leaving boot camp to train as infantrymen. The Everly brothers were in a company that was further along in training than my company. They were Marine reservists. They earned my respect as singers and as men.
The best harmonies ever and two great songwriters to boot. Don was also one of the best rhythm guitarists out there and I’d like to mention that the Crickets were the backing band on this performance.
Thank you Harri. I have been a fan of the Everlys for 60 years and nothing pleases me more than young folk like you appreciating them as much as I. Love you Man Should say the Crickets were backing them live here ❤️
I love Cathy's Clown best! They've been around even before my birth. My Dad used to play their records. Another fun one is, Wake up little Suzie. As my name is Susana, my family would sing that one to me for years 😂
My name is Catherine, Cathy's Clown came out when I was dating the young man who became my husband, our special song was Let it be Me, he passed away a short time ago after fifty two wonderful years of marriage.
Hello there , nice man.Y you are saying a lot of great 😅 thing’s about these young gentlemen,but, we, (I,) have been listening to these ❤ outstanding human beings, since early 50,s, And feel privileged, and yes, blessed, to have been both ,in year 1941, close enough to Don, and Phil, Don, 1937, Phil, 1939, it is now 28th July, year 2023, and I am just 6 weeks away from my 82nd birthday. Pretty old, I guess. I am a widowed lady, for the past 15 years.I live in Ireland 🇮🇪, a small, but beautiful ❤ country, lots green luscious, land,with the most beautiful scenery in the world, right next to our nearest neighbours, England 🏴, just over the pond, as they say!. I am glad, you seem to be mesmerised, and completely bowled over, by the extraordinary musical talent of these exceptional young men. Two Kentucky kids, we reared, well behaved, so decent, pure gentlemen, all due to the wonderful tutelage, they received from their parents, father, Ike Everly, and mother Mary. Their father 👴 Ike Everly, was a master guitarist, and taught , almost everyone and anyone , how it was done. The family had their own 😊 radio show, in Brownie, Kentucky,(I think 🤔), when Don and Phil were just at the tender ages of 3 and 5 years of age! The rest is history. Beautifully mannered, meticulously dressed , both v handsome ❤, beloved all over. They showed all the “ giants in music 🎵 business, from Simon& Garfunkel, to BuddyHolly, Beatles,Dire Straits, and many more, how to master the “ guitar riffing rhythm 🎶,yet never were they rivalled, never! Paul Mc Carthney, admitted , they copied The Everly’s, harmonies, ( like so many others), but we’re never 👎 able to get it quite right As Paul Simon said,,,” their harmonies were pure , pristine!! Wonderful, wonderful, artists, and humble human beings. Never again to be replaced.So honoured to have been around , in their lifetime.And treasured within my heart 💜 forever. Along with Neil Diamond. R, I, P Don, & Phil Everly. Molly O’ Connell.Ireland.
Whenever I listen to the Everley Brothers I can't help but sing-along with them but I always find the harmony line more interesting and easier to sing, which ever song it may be.
My dad taught me to sing harmony by ear before I could read much less read music. I was 4. It’s a joy to sing these harmonies. They are so pure. I’m older now and instead of alto I am deep contralto or tenor but still sing these classics.
Helene here....Oh MAN.......back to my childhood in the fifties.....These guys were SO influential... my favorite duo of guys though are Simon and Garfunkel.... so gorgeous...
The Righteous Brothers harmonies were something no one expected. Current day my favorite when it comes to harmonies is a country a capella group named Home Free. Their version of How Great Thou Art makes me cry.
Home Free is absolutely great. Their version of Vince Gill's "Go Rest High On That Mountain" was played at my son's memorial service last December. I would love to hear Harri's reaction to their music.
A-h-h-h-, that third voice that only the "inner" knows it hears will always be associated par excellence with much-missed Don and Phil. Sail on guys into Whatever ears are fortunate enough to make your acquaintance.
Perfect harmonies. ❤ Let it be Me is another great song of theirs that reminds me of my mother. Tho the version of Let It be Me that she played was done by Betty Everett and Jerry Butler. Beautiful song either way.
They are great and so was the Righteous Brothers and there is always Jan & Dean, Peter & Gordon and Chad & Jeremy all come to mind. My favorite male duet of that area was Unchained Melody by the Righteous Bothers.
My sister and I used to go out singing Everly Brothers songs, Dream was the favourite. Our father used to like us singing Take a Message to Mary, he was a fan of western films. Wake Up Little Suzy was another one we did.
They have many great tunes like Devoted to you . Til I kissed you . When will I be loved . Walk Right Back . A very sad one called Lightning Express and of course the Paul McCartney written Wings of a Nightingale . Written for their 1984 Everly Bros album .
I liked Everly Brothers :) a friend of mine was a member of the fanclub. We used to play many of their songs together. They were brothers, and were very great at harmony singing indeed. It’s because perhaps they are related, cool that you’re responding to these songs. Do more old music reactions 👍🏻
The backing band on this video is Buddy Holly's backing band The Crickets (Holly died in a plane crash in 1959). My mom had the album 'A Date With the Everly Brothers' that came out in the year of this video (1960) Cathy's Clown was on it and I heard it a lot. Pretty much know that whole album by heart. Great reaction Harri!
The writer of this song, Boudleaux Bryant, also wrote several other Everly Brothers hits by himself and with his wife/ songwriting partner, Felice. They include: "Love Hurts", "Bye Bye Love" & "Wake Up Little Susie"
I love your channel, every time I hear the Everley brothers love songs I get chills. Another great group is The BeeGees, they also have beautiful songs. By the way, I loved your reactions to Gabriel Iglesias, I watched it last night. He is so funny
The ‘secret’ to their beautiful harmonies is that they are brothers. The shape and size of their throat, chest, mouth and pharynx, and nasal cavities are very similar - even for brothers. This gives them the same timbre and resonance. Then there is their enunciation and accent - almost identical, because they grew up together.
They're a big part of my teenage years. Since you love good harmonies try Vince Gills song Go Rest High On That Mountain. He wrote the song for his late brother.
Harri- one remembers that you loved Mark Knopfler: did you know Mark wrote a tune for the Everlys but his record company kinda made him release the tune before he could hook up with them. Years later, Mark was on Chet Atkins show, and he called the Everlys... here it is: "Why Worry" Chet Atkins Mark Knopfler & Everly Brothers: th-cam.com/video/oIiXoo6TSBs/w-d-xo.html
Grew up listening to them. Beatles said they got their harmony from them. Side note Axl rose dated Erin Everly daughter of Don for four years, she was the sweet child o mine.
Heard Cathy's Clown, When I was 11 yrs old it was playing in the radio i flipped out. Other great songs by them, If you can review them are, ? Crying in the Rain' And , Temptation, that's a real knock out. And many more by them. That was the doo Wop era back in the day many songs and groups were great.
My unscientific theory is that the Everly Brothers ACTUALLY being brothers played a part in their amazing harmony. Growing up together meant they had the same accents, pronunciations, etc. It would be like practicing together (in some ways) from birth.
Don Everly was 22 the one on the right Phil Everly was only 20 when this came out the timing on the harmonies I think is about the best you can do they were always right in synch
You need to listen to the Johnson Brothers; they are great with harmony and their guitars. React to: "Strawberry Letter 22", "Stomp" and "I'll Be Good to You".
Hey brother, hope life is treating you well across the pond!❤️ side note, if someone feels disrespected for your comment they need a new hobby lol great job Sir
So many groups that came after have cited the Everly Brothers as a huge influence on their musical development. FOLLOWING THE SUN (written by Don Everly) is a bit less known, but a great song: th-cam.com/video/MxLTzIIBRzY/w-d-xo.html
I much prefer the Righteous Brothers. While Rolling Stone magazine expresses one opinion, I express another. The Righteous Brothers rendition of "You've Lost that Lovin' Feelin'" was the most played song on radio stations in the 20th century. The Everly Brothers didn't even come close. While harmonies are important, the Everly Brothers were a one-trick pony in that regard. They simply weren't the best of the best -- in my opinion. For me, one-trick ponies just don't make the grade.
In 2015 "Rolling Stone" magazine ranked the 20 best duos of all time and The Everly Brothers landed the top spot at #1
The harmonies of the Everly Brothers were a major influence on the Beatles vocals and harmonies.
Temptations, Beach Boys, Righteous Brothers, and several more. The Everly Brothers were one of the earliest, and showed how it should be done. Perfection.
Love the evenly brothers keep playing more of them from 🌞✔️
i grew up with all this music and i know every word of every song...

They went through mcrd in 1962. We issued their rifles and 782 gear.
That’s Buddy Holly’s Crickets playing with them!
Still fantastic in 2023 Harri. Just luv your emotion and appreciation to this.
Unbelievable. And I've heard it 1000 times.
Whenever I hear this song I want to embrace them, the words, the melody; all of it!
I just discovered this music, it is a amazing song !
The best harmonies ever and two great songwriters to boot. Don was also one of the best rhythm guitarists out there and I’d like to mention that the Crickets were the backing band on this performance.
Loved Them in concert. Amazing!
Thank you Harri. I have been a fan of the Everlys for 60 years and nothing pleases me more than young folk like you appreciating them as much as I. Love you Man

The second record I ever had: Cathy’s Clown in 1960. Nine years old and they the Everlys were my favorite. Such a good ear at such a young age. Lmao
Tou got great taste Paul
Another home run Harri....angelic voices!

Helene here....Oh MAN.......back to my childhood in the fifties.....These guys were SO influential... my favorite duo of guys though are Simon and Garfunkel.... so gorgeous...
Great choice, Cathy's clown was probably the most played song in my home when I was a kid, Simon and garfukel are up there as well
it was written about a girl one of the brothers dated in High School
@@oldermusiclover Don wrote it about his ex girlfriend, Cathy.
@@Teresa7087 knew she dated one of them
My blessed mother adored these brothers I remember her singing along to the transistor when I was wee (small) 😊
The synergy is incredible,
i agree Keith
Classic era roots reggae has some great harmony based groups. The Congos and Mighty Diamonds are two that come to mind.
Great reactions friend.
They were ennately angelic in their pureness of vocal sync. Tjanks for this. Angelic perfection.
Grew up on these guys. Still love them.
A beautiful song ,even at 8 years old I knew this was special
Cathys Clown was written about a girl one of the guys dated in high school and I was told that the band in the back was the late Buddy Holleys group

Unchained Melody is great but the Righteous Brothers didn’t do it as a duet, Bobby Hatfield did it solo.
I believe the 50s and 60s rock and roll music made use feel at Peace. Have you listen to Otis Redding Sitting on the dock of the Bay ?
My sister and I used to go out singing Everly Brothers songs, Dream was the favourite. Our father used to like us singing Take a Message to Mary, he was a fan of western films. Wake Up Little Suzy was another one we did.
I love this pair. Grew up with their sound for years and still love them. Before the Bee Gees these were the harmony duo/group that were IT!
They have many great tunes like Devoted to you . Til I kissed you . When will I be loved . Walk Right Back . A very sad one called Lightning Express and of course the Paul McCartney written Wings of a Nightingale . Written for their 1984 Everly Bros album .
Please do their song “Let It Be Me.”
Walk right back was the my sisters favourite
Want to get blown away??? Listen to the Everly’s do “Always Drive A Cadillac “.....incredible piece of music.
I liked Everly Brothers :) a friend of mine was a member of the fanclub. We used to play many of their songs together.
They were brothers, and were very great at harmony singing indeed. It’s because perhaps they are related, cool that you’re responding to these songs. Do more old music reactions 👍🏻
Thanx Wilhelm
They were the first to write their own stuff
Friggin perfection.
The best, ever.
How good are they? The Everly Brothers were in the first class inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame.
The Mills Brothers, Pointer Sisters, Boswell Sisters, Beach Boys... seems like genetics help when you want to harmonize.
Bee Gees
@@lindaanders8796
Of course!
>smacks forehead <
The Andrews Sisters and Sister Sledge too.
The backing band on this video is Buddy Holly's backing band The Crickets (Holly died in a plane crash in 1959).

There is something unique about family harmonies! -Terry, Canoga Park
The writer of this song, Boudleaux Bryant, also wrote several other Everly Brothers hits by himself and with his wife/ songwriting partner, Felice. They include: "Love Hurts", "Bye Bye Love" & "Wake Up Little Susie"
I still listen to Cathy’s Clown often. Both that and ‘all I have to do is dream’ take me to a far off place deep into magical space
I loved everything they did. You should listen to Ebony Eyes by them.
I love your channel, every time I hear the Everley brothers love songs I get chills. Another great group is The BeeGees, they also have beautiful songs. By the way, I loved your reactions to Gabriel Iglesias, I watched it last night. He is so funny
All right harry like this song my mum love them righteous brother's
❤Simon and Garfunkel and ABBA can harmonize like angels.
Don Everly had problems with substance abuse. They made up at the end of their lives.❤
The ‘secret’ to their beautiful harmonies is that they are brothers.
The shape and size of their throat, chest, mouth and pharynx, and nasal cavities are very similar - even for brothers. This gives them the same timbre and resonance. Then there is their enunciation and accent - almost identical, because they grew up together.
I bought both records when they first came out. my parents were always screaming at me to turn it down.
Live, baby ....live.
They're a big part of my teenage years. Since you love good harmonies try Vince Gills song Go Rest High On That Mountain. He wrote the song for his late brother.

Why worry? i actually rracted to that song..I dont know of ive released it yet..Its from the Brothers in arms album..beautiful.song
Got to hear Everly Brothers' live. Four Freshmen influenced the Beach Boys, as well, and they had great harmonies.
My brother works in a vape shop. He mixed me up some vape juice and called it "Cathy's Cloud." I have a vape juice named after me!!!
Harri, have you heard The Stylistics, You make me feel brand new? It's so damn good
One of the brothers made duets with Cliff Richard 🥰😇🤩
Grew up listening to them. Beatles said they got their harmony from them. Side note Axl rose dated Erin Everly daughter of Don for four years, she was the sweet child o mine.
don everly was once axl rose's father-in-law.

Crying in the Rain' And , Temptation, that's a real knock out. And many more by them. That was the doo Wop era back in the day many songs and groups were great.
Play Everly's "On the wings of a Nightengale" written for them by Paul Mcartney circa 1985.
Harri, another very popular song from the Everly Brothers; "Walk Right Back". Hope you enjoy it.
My Father used to sing this to me at bedtime
Pretty sure that it’s The Crickets backing them.
The Universe singing to itself..
Thats the Crickets backing them up.
My unscientific theory is that the Everly Brothers ACTUALLY being brothers played a part in their amazing harmony. Growing up together meant they had the same accents, pronunciations, etc. It would be like practicing together (in some ways) from birth.
You have to try out some Pentatonix. If harmonies make you smile then they are right up your alley.
Don Everly was 22 the one on the right Phil Everly was only 20 when this came out the timing on the harmonies I think is about the best you can do they were always right in synch
That’s Buddy Hollys Crickets backing them.
A beautiful Everly Brothers song, called "Ebony Eyes". Not very well known, but very good. Hope you enjoy it.
Dude that’s not Pop, that’s Rock-a-Billy! You have a lot to learn! 😂😎👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏 If you want harmony, check out the Eagles.
Listen to "Devoted to You." A beautiful song.
We need a bio pic about them...
You need to listen to the Johnson Brothers; they are great with harmony and their guitars. React to: "Strawberry Letter 22", "Stomp" and "I'll Be Good to You".
👍
Dreams - this song along keep the post-WW2 baby boom going 5 more years lol 😂.
🎶Rock On Sir 🎶
And "Born Yesterday"
They influenced the Beatles and may other groups. Brothers or sisters make great harmonies. Enjoy.
Hey brother, hope life is treating you well across the pond!❤️ side note, if someone feels disrespected for your comment they need a new hobby lol great job Sir
David Crosby said CSNY strived to get the harmony of the EBs but never could.
You should react t to Queen. DREAMERS BALL live inParis 79..along the same theme.
So many groups that came after have cited the Everly Brothers as a huge influence on their musical development.
