Bye Bye Phil.

Sad news today. Phil Everly of the Everly Brothers has died at age 74 of obstructive pulmonary disease.

In the late '50's, he and his brother Don, had a huge string of hits including "Wake Up Little Susie," "Bye Bye Love," "All I Have To Do Is Dream," "Bird Dog," and "Cathy's Clown."They briefly stopped recording to join the Marines in 1962. They also had a short-lived comeback in the '80's. Their songs were covered by The Osmonds, Simon And Garfunkel, and Andy Gibb, among others.

RIP, Phil. You left us one of the biggest musical legacies of all time. :(

I and friends listened to vintage Everly Bros. tonight on video. Although sad to hear, their sound was as vital today as back in the day. Best wishes to Phil Everly's family and friends. The Everlys are legends. Sweet post, EI.
