, a huge chart success in the late 1950s and early 1960s that grew into Rock and Roll Hall of Famers, died on Saturday at his home in Nashville. He was 84.The duo were one of the first pop-rock acts to emerge from Nashville, and became instant hitmakers on the strength of the soaring harmonies in such songs as “Wake Up Little Susie” and “Cathy’s Clown.” They became a major influence on everything to follow, from the British Invasion through the Southern California county-rock scene.
“It’s almost like we could read each other’s minds when we sang,” Don Everly told The Los Angeles Times shortly after his brother’s death.But the inevitable career lag followed, as styles changed, and eventually the duo split, ending when Phil smashed his guitar and left the stage during a performance at Knotts Berry Farm in Southern California.Don Everly was born Issac Donald Everly in 1937 in Brownie, Ky, almost two years before his brother.
The brothers had an obvious knack for songwriting. Don came up with “Thou Shalt Not Steal,” a Top 20 country hit for Kitty Wells in 1954, and also had songs recorded by Anita Carter and Justin Tubb.
