Ethanedwards- What a great rendition of "Let it be me". I saw them in 1997? at Lake Tahoe. They had many great songs and such beautiful harmony. Paul McCartney wrote a song in the early 80's, called
"On the Wings of a Nightingale" for them. I saw a video of them singing it and it was a minor hit.
I believe I have most of their singles and Extended Play 4 song albums from the 50's.
Phil's passing helps point out our own Mortality.

I adore the Everlys. I saw them at their reunion concert in Royal Albert Hall in London -- both nights. They were just as amazing as ever. RIP, beautiful Phil.

Paula- the song "Let It Be Me" from that concert is on youtube and is special. That concert would have
been one to be at.

RIP Barbara

There are several videos from the Everlys reunion concert at Royal Albert Hall on youtube.

I highly recommend the first two albums they released after the reunion -- EB84 and On the Wings of a Nightingale. There was a third album but it's not as good as the first two.

There is also a DVD of the Royal Albert Hall concert.

Paula- thanks for that information. I found a youtube video that is really good. Just go to youtube and type in WhyWorry- everlys. Pick the one that has Chet Atkins and Mark
Knopfler playing guitar in it. Mark wrote the song, I don't believe this is on an album. A stunning song.

Great video, thanks for posting.

Why Worry, was on the Dire Straits album- Brothers in Arms

I remember Marth from that one episode of The Honeymooners where he and the other bank robber hold Ralph, Alice , and Norton hostage and he takes Ralph in the bedroom to work him over a little and ends up on the short end of the stick of Ralphs blows. I remember seeing his wife, Hope Holiday, in a few movies too. Always had that short blonde pixie cut hairdo and played scatterbrained females.

Sad to see all those I grew up with as a child go. RIP Russell and Dave. You touched me as a child in entertaining me and so many others. They may not been the stars but they were the glue to hold together those shows in their own ways. Am I getting old.
