Phil Everly RIP

Phil Everly, one half of the hit-making Everly Brothers, died January 3, 2014, at a hospital in Burbank, California, at the age of 74. He and his brother Don were signed to Cadence Records in the mid-1950s and are well-known for such hits as "Bird Dog," "Bye Bye Love," "Wake Up Little Susie," "All I Have to Do Is Dream" or "Cathy's Clown." They were influential for many artists to come and created an unique sound with their soft hamorny singing, influenced by the country and folk duos of their youth.
