Never hurts to have Albert Lee backing and leading your band.
Beautiful harmonies from these two.
Phil constantly eyeballs Don to keep in sync with Don's phrasing. I noticed this when I produced two albums for them.
If you watch them Phil looks so closely at Don intently. Crying’ in the Rain from the same show is also amazing. Phil was genius with his harmonies live because he was always spot on which is so difficult because you can’t anticipate the nuances of the lead singer. They weren’t a machine.
I won't call The Everly's underrated but their influence is often overlooked. They drew up the blueprint for the harmonies of the 1960s. This is especially true for Lennon/McCartney, Simon/Garfunkel, The Hollies, and The Birds. RIP guys. You rocked!
I watched a documentary called rock ‘n’ roll odyssey. This was I think in the late 80s. When it was over I had my epiphany and realized how amazing they are, were. I saw them live within two years after that. Within another year I was standing next to them engaging both in conversation in person. Amazing what you can do when you set your mind to something.. They had more charisma than any two people I’ve ever met. It doesn’t surprise me that they had a devoted fan base for decades.
A terrible week for music with Charlie Watts, Tom T Hall, and Don Everly now gone.
Uncanny vocal duet. And....that's the legendary Albert Lee, of course, behind them on electric lead.
My brothers had their songs on '45's. Love the Everly Brothers; they had amazing harmonies. Let It Be Me is my favorite song of theirs.
I took my wife and son to see this show at the Apollo in Manchester, the soundtrack to my youth.
I'm just now hearing that he passed. My older sister's name was Kathy, and so I'll always think of riding around on my bicycle in the early 1960s......with a transistor radio with the mono earpiece, hearing 'Kathy's Clown'.
As I watched this, I was amazed at how perfectly their timing was at waiting to come in after that little lead guitar flourish, which requires not only the perfect wait timing but perfect breath timing too, because ya gotta breathe before singing. It seems second nature to these guys. Great ability ☺
Their perfection went so far that when Don was singing a note slightly out of key, what occasionally happens even to the best of the best, Phil instantly also sang that note slightly out of key to exactly the same amount so that it would perfectly match Don´s "wrong" note harmony wise. That is incredible, I have no other duo in mind that was able to do that.
The sweet fun of this song is totally impossible to resist! They were amazing live! Much obliged for explaining all the reasons why.
A little known fact is that Phil and Don’s first cousin was James Best, the actor who played Sheriff Rosco P Coltrane in the tv series, the Dukes of Hazzard. He had an exceptionally fine voice too and was also a voice actor and musician.
In addition to their beautiful harmonies they had some great dynamic guitar strumming that really gave their songs such great energy and melody. They must have sounded absolutely fabulous in person.
The timbre is their sibling voices is so well matched which almost makes the "one voice" as you said. No autotune or pitch shifters EVER needed.
I cannot believe how EXACTLY the reproduce this song as well as they did in studio 26 YEARS earlier. They are incredibly talented.
Wonderful to see this. Boy did they influence a lot of artists- especially the Beatles and Simon and Garfunkel.
I came to TH-cam after Don's passing to look at some videos and came across a few of your analysis clips on the Everly Brothers. After that, I went down the Fil rabbit-hole and watched you break-down performances from a wide array of genres. What struck me most was your joy in the music and your absolute respect when discussing a variety of artists. Your appreciation is infectious. I hope that you do many, many more of these. The Everly Brothers, like many of the artists you discuss, are musical giants meant to be remembered. Thank you for introducing a new generation of fans to this music. Rest in peace, Don and Phil. 💙 (And hoping for much more from, and for, you, Fil.)
