Phil  Everly of the Everly brothers passed away Friday evening.

Born in Chicago to a musician father, Everly formed the Everly Brothers with Don after the pair had performed as children as part of the Everly Family. Together the pair, known for their harmonies and country-inflected tunes, racked up numerous hits, including "Wake Up Little Suzie," "Cathy's Clown," and "All I Have fo Do Is Dream." The pair was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1986.

After initially breaking up in the early '70s, the Everly Brothers reunited in 1983 for a concert at London's Royal Albert Hall, later recording the 1986 country-music hit "Born Yesterday." The pair also contributed the song "Cold" to the Andrew Lloyd Webber/Jim Steinman album "Whistle Down the Road."

The pair received the Lifetime Achievement Grammy award in 1997.

Everly is survived by his wife, brother Don, mother Margaret, and sons Jason and Chris, as well as two granddaughters. *** copied and pasted from MSN News

Initially, when reading up on the passing of Phil Everly, I figured I never heard any of his songs, until I clicked on your link Jay. I actually heard it about 3 years back, when I saw The Nightmare on Elm street (2010 version) play in theaters. That song was about the only redeeming thing featured in that train wreck of a movie. A very innocent, tender song that brings a smile to your face, no matter the age.

Skimmed around youtube and came across various covers of the song. Here's to you sir.

RIP Phil Everly.

I didn't know this but it seems the brothers were prolific writers as well. Many songs sung by others are theirs.

RIP Phil.

I like the Everly Brothers, All I Have To Do Is Dream is a great evergreen. Another good song is On The Wings Of A Nightingale, which was a big hit here (written and produced by Paul McCartney).

Now we will hear "Wake Up Little Susie" coming from heaven

It's always sad when we lose folks from our lives.  When I was growing up, the Everly Brothers were on the record player a lot.  One of the first songs I learned to play on the guitar was "Til I Kissed You" , which still resonates for me today.  I may have to go see if I remember how to play it...
