Not sure what to say?

I´m now 85 and lost my husband 12 years ago. We raised our kids in Huntington Beach. Almost all their songs were " our song especially Dream . When my husband was in the Coast Guard in 1957 he drove everyone crazy playing " Wake up little Susie every where they went. I love watching their reunion show on TV, with a few tears a lot of wonderful memories. RIP

It’s hard to express how much I loved the Everly Bros. I believe I have every album they produced and knew every song in detail. I played them over & over until I knew each one’s harmonies. It was difficult to do on many of their songs.
They , along with Elvis And Rick spurred me on to teach myself to play guitar at age 10
In 1956, I’m proud to say I made pretty good money for a couple of years after the military.
They say you know you’re getting old when your idols...

I first heard The Everly's as a teenager and was lucky enough to see them in concert on several occasions when they toured the UK. It was also a privilege to stay at Everly Hotel on Lake Malone and spend some time with them there before attending their Homecoming Concert. Both of them were gracious enough to spend time chatting and signed my friends guitar.They were fabulous singers, I can honestly say I have listened to their music every day for the past 60 years.Phil's harmony was unmatched...

Don and Phil Everly were the greatest act I ever saw. Met them both in my time. Phil said to me in 1974, ´you know, we really could sing.´ Utterly tongue-tied I could only agree with him. It had to be one of the biggest understatements of all time

When they first came out.katys Clown and wake Up Little Suzy.I loved there music.May they both Rest In Peace.Love you Both.Don Was so Handsom

don: r I p we liked your music :)

My heartfelt condolences are offered to the family, many, many friends, colleagues and devoted army fans of Mr. Don Everly of the Everly Brother.

May the love and many, many special memories you shared with your devoted loved one show how much your life was touched by him. May the God of comfort...
