Don Everly, one-half of the pioneering Everly Brothers whose harmonizing country rock hits impacted a generation of rock ‘n’ roll music, has died. He was 84.

Everly died at his home in Nashville, Tennessee, on Saturday, according to his attorney and family spokesperson Linda Edell Howard. His brother, Phil Everly, died in January 2014 at age 74.

Songs like"Bye Bye Love" and"Wake Up Little Susie" appealed to the postwar generation of baby boomers, and their deceptively simple harmonies hid greater meaning among the lighter pop fare of the era. They were inducted into the Rock ‘n’ Roll Hall of Fame in 1986, the same year they had a hit pop-country record,"Born Yesterday." Two years earlier, they had success with the up-tempo ballad"On the Wings of a Nightingale," written by Paul McCartney.

Their breakup came dramatically during a concert at Knott’s Berry Farm in California. Phil Everly threw his guitar down and walked off, prompting Don Everly to tell the crowd,"The Everly Brothers died 10 years ago." "Our love was and will always be deeper than any earthly differences we might have had," Don Everly said in a statement in 2014.
