At the top of the Billboard charts sat Bye Bye Love for 22 weeks in the spring of 1957. Billboard described there sound as “distinctive and appealing”.
Of course I’m talking about the incomparable Everly Brothers. With their signature black acoustic guitars, and harmonies that were unlike that of any other group at that time, they were a definite influence for all others to come including The Beatles.
For those of us who grew up in that era it was a privilege to listen to them and we thank them. Younger people of today who have heard them and don’t agree will find as they grow older the uniqueness of The Everly Brothers. For those to date that have never heard of them, or heard their music look them up because your in for a special treat.
