Don Everly of the Everly Brothers dies at 84, seven years after younger brother PhilDon Everly's music, performed with his brother Phil, helped influence such acts as The Beatles and Simon and Garfunkel. That’s so sad! I just downloaded their songs on Spotify this morning in one of my playlists. Rip. My cousins lived in Shenandoah Iowa near Them. My brother remembers going to a birthday party at their house. 6 degrees 🙂🙃🙂 Tragic. Their harmony was exquisite. Classic songs with it.
