I’ve known this song all my life, but never realized the impact that the Everly Brothers had on rock ‘n’ roll till I read some of these comments. Thanks y’all and great reaction Ace!
❤😍❤️😍❤️😍❤️😍 I absolutely LOVE The Everly Brothers!!! The way they harmonize ❤️ So many other upcoming groups were inspired by them. They’re from Central City Ky, not real far from where I live. They make KY proud. Love your reaction, so glad you appreciate them. There’s so many more good songs from them.
Love this song and the Everly Brothers. You might like Let it be me. It is a very sweet romantic song. It is actually our song for me and my husband. We had it as our first dance at our wedding.

Welcome to your new rabbit hole.
The Beattles said they took a lot of inspiration from the Everly Brothers and their harmonies.
These guys are so very awesome! Love your reaction!
A song from my youth! Love it!
A blast from the past. Great harmonies.
You're so right, Ace. The sad lyrics conflict with the upbeat, cheerful music. I never thought about it, and just enjoyed the tune.

The brothers could still do it even after years of solo careers. They were great. Cathy's Clown,All I Have To Do Is Dream...
I attended their show years ago in Reno, NV and it was awesome!
They had a huge influence on harmonies in the 70's and 80's and there songs were covered by people like Linda Ronstadt.
1957 style music to a tee. I remember that this was very popular.
The Kings of Kentucky
Seems like only songs from back in the 50s had the style of 'upbeat sadness".
