hi guys, Singer Phil Everly, of the Everly Brothers, dies at 74. I`m sure that a lot of other members on this forum would have grown up with the everly bros music, I certainly did and they were one of my favorite duo`s, R.I.P. Phil,cheers

Sad indeed, unique harmony - first hit over here I think was "all I have to do is dream" - coincided with me starting secondary school shortly after came Cliff's "move it" again you remember where you heard it first, then started work to "Living Doll", first meeting with the opposite  sex to "Kathy's Clown".
Now I'm more into Stones and most stuff that makes the car windows wobble but still like a bit of the nostalgic and lastly one that I always wonder why I like - Skinny Minnie from Mr William Haley, probably because again a little quirky for it's time

 Yer a weirdo B-Bill-  , but I like ya cos you make me sound good and appear sane ...yea probably learned a lot from 'The Young Ones ' too?

 was '...Dream' the one that Bobby Gentry did too?
 and how about the rest of the E-Bros'...??
 RIP Phil, geez we lost a few last year, JJ Cale, Lou Reed,++, can't be enough left?

Yeh I loved the Everly Bros music and music of that era. The EB reunion concert on DVD is brilliant check it out.

Sorry to take a while to reply just got Broadband and phone back on after a day or so, broadband still slow but might come up as it settles, else yet another phone call to get profile lifted, stay calm , be polite, stress is not good, don't swear (Indian call centres don't  understand Geordie oaths anyway)

...all I had to do was stop dreamin' and do a search- took 2 seconds, and as I did remembered Glenn Campbell had input...

   Same song?

[bsa-bill]

   Same song?

yes - same  but as often is the case a cover has to be something else to beat an original

[duTch]

 Maybe what was on the 'hit parade' in my zone...after the fact....!

hi guys, the other cover that is always played on the radio instead of the Everly`s is `Love Hurts` the Scottish band Nazareth is the normal choice for some reason, cheers

[bsa-bill]

Scottish band Nazareth is the normal choice for some reason,

For a very good reason - one  of my favourate bands - although other stuff they did I like better.
For a treat look up "you wouldn't do that to a white Boy", "Shanghied in Shanghi","Turn on your reciever"
up until a year or two ago they were still working, two of the original band still there Danny Macaferry (spelling !!) still singing
