i agree jazzy...nothing wrong with "misty-eyed country crooners" in the slightest, but these guys took it to rock and roll.
i saw the Everly's perform around 84-85ish to promote their comeback single "wings of a nightingale",which incidently, was written by McCartney for them specifically as their reunion/comeback single...
im not a big fan of that track,much prefer Phil's duet with Cliff Richard from a couple of years earlier...
here's the link to both, incase youve not heard either...or not heard them in a long time...
Everly Brothers "wings of a nightingale" #50 US, #78 AU, #41 UK, #49 US-Country, #39 CAN-country
wiki info on the song: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/On_the_Wing...ightingale
link to the song: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LRb8_4dQkBM live performance
Cliff Richard & Phil Everly "she means nothing to me" #9 UK, #39 AU
link to the song: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tnJdw3jaoIE audio only!
not a big fan of Sir Cliff but the guy is still doing it and performing and has been since 1958...
here's a track from each decade of his career thus-so-far
1950s
"livin' doll"(with The Drifters, who later,because of an american band with the same name,changed theirs to The Shadows)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Kit9bmAYCq4 tv performance
and also the remake for charity in the mid 1980s with UK comedy group The Young Ones
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gGOU0o9K89g video
1960s:
"bachelor boy"....and thats exactly how he stayed!
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EUE_EuXm7j0 tv performance
1970s:
"devil woman"...pne of only two top10 US hits!
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7tuAkdlLhTE tv performance
1980s:
"wired for sound"...note the corny 'walkman' and 'rollerskates"
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V57eqtN2K7E video
1990s:
"stronger than that"
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G4I9fzbrExg video
2000s:
"thank you for a lifetime"
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DHueP3yiXTM live
2010s:
"rip it up"...from his 2013 covers album celebrating rock and roll
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4kEeYowlWts live, great live performance for a guy in his 70s...
