I met the Everly Brothers when they performed at Blossom Music Center in Cuyahoga Falls, Ohio south of Cleveland in1986. It was after their show at their hotel. Both men tired from performing, they graciously made time for us, signing autographs and talking with us for about 15 minutes. Two of the nicest gentlemen I’ve ever met. I will never forget them or their music. Thank you Don and Phil for the memories and the music. R. I. P.
Even with his cane, Don still has a youthful spirit about him here. I paid my respects to the Everly Brothers the other day in Central City, KY. Saw their monument at the music museum, drove down Everly Brothers Blvd., then visited the cemetery. There's a large Everly headstone, one for Ike, father of Don and Phil; one for Mary, daughter of Don's who was born and passed away on the same day in 1957. I got tears in my eyes when I saw the marker for Phil, who passed in 2014. I put a rose on each marker. I did not see a marker for Don. May their memories be eternal! Amazingly, Margaret Everly at 102 has outlived her husband and sons.
The brothers set the bar for pop harmonies. They did it right, they perfected it.Every word in Paul Simon’s letter must be emphasized, there is not one word that is an overstatement. History shows us, their music has had a more fundamental and deeper effect that we we were aware from their humble beginnings! LONG LIVE THE EVERLY BROTHERS!!!❤️❤️❤️❤️
The Everly Brothers' harmonies are so beautiful. I listen to all kinds of music, from '50s and ''60s rock, to soul music and jazz, and even some of the hardest, heaviest metal, but the Everly Brothers' vocals and music have a *special, sacred place* in my heart! Those two men were *born to sing together* with amazing talent on loan from God Himself! Rest in peace, Don Everly! You will be so missed!
I was so sad to hear that Don had passed away. The Everly Brothers have been a constant throughout my life. Thanks so much for all the work you do Joe, you’re capturing history and I think that’s such an important thing for us all. ✌🏻💜☀️
@@MusiciansHallofFameMuseum You’re welcome Joe, I hope to get out and visit the Musicians Hall of Fame at some point in the near future. Keep up the good work!
Bless his heart, this made me cry. RIP to both Don and Phil , legends and icons , an inspiration to many . Their harmonies are effortless, just like The Bee Gees . Very humble , genuine. Don and Phil will be missed.
Such a coincidence! “Wake up Little Susie” just played on my Alexa while Ricky Skaggs played it! Will always love and miss Don, he’s my favorite singer! 💖
Oh my, how I love the music of the Everly Brothers! I still play many of their songs and never stop feeling the power of, Let It Be Me ,Dream and really, all of them! Love you brothers your music is in our soul!!
You both did a fabulous job in honouring the fabulous Don Everly ..RIP Don..what a gorgeous man ..I saw them in the early 60s in Melbourne Australia and what a concert..fab.
We're close to the Everly Brothers here in Iowa where I live. One hundred and thirty-three miles away, they cut their performance teeth at a little radio station KMA in Shenandoah, Iowa in the early 50's. After that, they hit the big time and the rest is history. The guys playing on this video really showed what professional musicians can do.
thankyou so much for your reply to me here in NewZealand your music so precious to me .i sing country.saw Ricky when came to Palmerston North .i love gospel and Blue grass God bless you all
Don Everly not only an Icon and masterful song composer he was a gracious man RIP one of the Greats, for his Family and many Friends the deepest sympathies for your loss A most exceptional musical tribute performance from Gordon & Ricky You really nailed it !Thanks to Joe and all @ Musicians Hall of Fame for this special video post Long may you run.
Phil &Don always were impeccable about their wardrobe...He sure looked good as always...never met them in my entire life...thank the good Lord for Utube, archives...I feel as if I have met them thru all the media that is flowing...thank you 🎶🎵 🌎🌈 🌹🙋🎸💓🌹🙋🎸💓
Thank you Joe. What a joy. Thank you for all you do and have done, to keep the music and artist’s input, alive and well. Daisy Doodle was my chihuahua. John Castleberry.
We love you Joe. Thank you for everything you have shared with us all. We truly appreciate it all. And we truly do love you for everything you have shared. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts. This channel is such a wonderful thing. It's really tremendous. Thank you for all of it
Hi 1231239…… you are way to kind but I appreciate it. I’m very happy you have enjoyed the interviews and award show clips. I enjoyed doing them too. Thanks again for supporting us…. It means a lot to me…….. best, Joe
Sirius Xm 60s on 6 had a nice mention of your induction of Don and how it was the first award of its kind. So sorry for the loss of your friend. May he rest in peace. God Bless and thank you for this great video. 👍🏻😎
Glad Don got this award while he was alive. I didn't realize his mother Margaret was still alive! She is 102. He thanked his wife and sister in law, but didn't mention his mother, and I was wondering why. Looks like there were some family issues re a house transfer and that perhaps left some hard feeling, don't know. Anyway, I'll thank his mother for having him and Phil, I still enjoy their music today as well as back in the day when it was first born some 60+ ya.
@@billbrimmer1739 Maybe, maybe not. I found that she filed a law suit against Don about taking over ownership of a house Don and Phil gifted to her long ago. IRS had to get involved. Phil signed over his stake in the home to her, but Don did not. So, there may have been some long standing issues after all between mother and son, and it might not be just some oversight due to age, just saying.
As always another great video. Thank you for sharing and helping preserve the work of so many of these great artists that have been the soundtrack to so many of our lives. It is truly appreciated sir.
What a super video Joe thank you so much as l was so sad to learn of Don s passing. I was privileged to meet Phil and Don after their concert at the Spektrum Oslo Norway on 24 July 2004 when they appeared with Simon and Garfunkel in concert. I had the greatest pleasure having seen them previously at the Royal Albert Hall London on September 23 1983. I had followed their music closely since my early days at Grammar School in England from 1957. Together with the Byrds and the Moody Blues they were my all time favourites and they will be sadly missed but their music lives on. A brilliant duo!
Awesome! Iconic Riff Awards -- I need to find the list. Thanks SO much for the timely posting of this moment in time, Joe. I also was so glad to see the response from the audience when the Bryant's names were mentioned. Often overlooked among songwriters, Phil and Don put them on their backs and carried them to great places.
We can’t outrun Father Time folks Great video. Sad we lost Don and Tom T the same weekend. Lots of great music from both of those talented guys!!!! TCB FOREVER
Hi Jennifur….. actually I didn’t have a chance to interview either Don or Phil. Phil was kind enough to perform at our induction concert for the Crickets since they were the Everly’s band too after Buddy passed but for some reason I didn’t ask Phil back in 2008. Don use to shop in my Nashville guitar shop back in the later 90’s. At the time I had never dreamed of founding the MHOF. Best, Joe
Joe, thanks to all of your historical and interesting interviews, you bring the background of iconic songs to us. Thanks. And another great singer/musician leaves us to make great music in heaven.
Joe, keep up the great work. Love your low key approach to your interviews and conversations with the musicians. You have a masterful and friendly manner of helping them relax and open up to you. Fantastic work. *Coming from a native Kentuckian.
I visited the Musicians Hall of Fame last week and highly recommend it to everyone. Interactive exhibits allow visitors to participate in making music and writing songs and the displays of recording studios, instruments, costumes, album covers and other music memorabilia are outstanding. The greeter, a musician, was friendly, knowledgeable and asked visitors where they had travelled from. Had a great time.
It was a great video but sad to see him so frail and walking with a cane. Rest In Peace Don. One of my guitar influences for certain. That’s a fun riff to play too.
Yes, he seemed to get frail really quick. And, what was it with the huge scarf draped around him constantly? He was clearly suffering from some malady. Anyway, I too would like to say that both Don and Phil played a huge part of my life at a time when I was an up and coming musician. Also, while referring to guitar riffs, don't let us forget that wonderful intro to Bye, Bye Love. I challenge anyone to listen to it RIGHT NOW and not go "Wow!"
Joe this song was a joke between my late dad and myself. for some reason when i was born, and it had nothing to do with the old rock and roll song, he called Me Sussie Q. so my late brother used joke about it and my dad too
Ahora me doy cuenta cuánto tiempo paso yo los escuche cuando estaban en todo su auge tenia 10 años y ahora tengo 62 años y aún escucho su musica de estos maravillosos chicos como ellos ya no habrá 😢
I went to the Musicians Hall of Fame in 2019 to see Don Everly inducted. It was very moving. Thier Mom Margaret Everly is Buried in a Mausoleum in Nashville Tn. That is so sad that there is no marker for Don at the family plot in Central City Ky.
😢eran increíbles a mi me gustaba escucharlos desde tenia 10 años eran tan guapos Tan! elegantes y con esa voz increíbles ese carisma Ya tengo 62 años y sigo 3scuchando dus canciones Gracias chicos por emocionarnos con su música ya no habrá otros como vosotros 😢😢😢😢

R.I.P Don Everly. Still inspiring guitar players all these years later. Now how many people can say that? Thoughts and prayers to his family. 🙏
Don Everly's face looks so young, he looks like a young man pretending to be an old man. What a voice, what a legend. RIP Don
I had been watching them on YT for a solid week........then Don dies on my birthday ...what a great voice😢

Life is Short. Art is Long. RIP Don Everly.
Don and Phil will be harmonizing together again. Purely angelic.
Tom T. Hall, Don Everly, Charlie Watts...sad week for music...r.i.p. ... thanks for posting this Joe.

Priceless. Don looked so happy. Rest in Peace. 🙏
This is" ALL ABOUT (( YOU )) ♥️ Don Everly ... No other ' names ' to MENTION! And THANK YOU So. ⚘ Mr. Everly..

Thanks again for watching Steve….. Joe

@@patmelton43 Yup, me too Pat!!!!
RIP Mr. Don Everly, and his late brother Phil. Both were great influence in many of us musicians.
Brian May even said that he patterned the harmonies of Queen from the Everly's. Such brilliance.
I love the Everly Brothers sound.

Keep the stories alive. Great music never dies…..and every song has a story.
Both boys could use 'soundbites' very effectively. Yes he was pleased/excited but he was also aware of people, apart from one, not there
I grew up on The Everly's fine music of the Bryant writing team. RIP Don
