On this day 1937 : Don Everly 70 years young !

How is it possible that a guy whose vocal harmonies with his 'baby brother' (as he, as well as his father Ike, called him) 'got me like a lighting strike' celebrates today his 70th birthday !!
Before you misinterprete me, I mean it seems like yesterday in the fifties I heard for the first time nice songs like Bye bye love, Wake up little Susie, All I Have to Do Is Dream, Bird Dog, ('Til) I Kissed You and so on and so on.
And now they are 70 and 68 years of age !
The Everly Brothers ! The Everly Brothers !
The Everly Brothers : Don was born February 1, 1937 and Phil on January 19, 1939.
What a party's in the family these weeks.
Anyway I wish Don a happy anniversary and all the best.



On Answers site you can find their biography plus other links or if that's not enough you can go to the Everly Brothers vocal group page which is dedicated to them.
I won't argue about their splitting in 1973 (was it ?). It isn't easy to do for so many years so much things together all the time.
So the Everly's : foreverly yours, foreverly mine !

Look for one of Don's solo albums in my archives 2006 april 4.

I was quite happy when they decided ten years later to give it another go.
Every fan of good vocal harmony must have been thrilled when they did their Reunion concert on 1983_09_23.
As far as I know/remember I give you here the ultimate complete concert of that reunion in London !
One only sees excerpts in the music store (see also AMG eg) but this is 100 minutes of great live harmonies.

So see the comments where

Disadvantage is the low quality but advantage is that each file is only 55MB.

Thanks a lot for this Jean.

Sounds just great to me at 128 kbps - one advantage of "old" ears !

Didn't they both have fantastic hairstyles ?

Oh yeah & happy birthday Don.

Miro, I must have The Everly Brothers more... than complete so I have these also.

I assume you will like me to post them, but I will not for two reasons.
First, I already posted something here and earlier by Don and Phil. I don't want to post too many by one artist. I like to have a reason to write/post so the days of the year will give me reasons enough to 'vary'.
Second, Warner Brothers is re-issueing since about three years all their Everly albums in a 2LP on 1 CD serie (with bonus tracks !!). It goes more slowly as hoped but I think they will finish that job. But of course only if they sell enough.
In my opinion these CD's are, although originally quite old LP's, way too new on CD to offer on a BLog like mine.

I also don't wanna post just a lot of albums sec. BLog's who do will become 'famous' and very frequently visited. Nice for them but that's not my intention.
Although I too have for fun a 'counter' I like to stay small.
One way is to limit my offers.

So sorry, hope you and anyone else will understand somehow.
But who knows what the time will bring.
