US musician Phil Everly dies aged 74

The 50's was the golden era. More than happy to be growing up during that era. Carefree world. The music of that day still sounds good today. Sunset walks from a good sideline swim sucking on a sugar cane. Young guys gathered around the street corner whilst Ogeer's extra large BK radio volume turned up gave us the music of American pop.

We all must die, sad that Eve messed it all up. 

"The amount of music that can be directly traced to the Everly Brothers is incredible", wrote one admirer on Twitter. "Thanks, Phil....and "Bye Bye."

The Everly Brothers - Isaac Donald "Don" Everly and Phillip "Phil" Everly - were American Country - influenced rock and roll singers, known

for steel - string guitar playing and close harmony singing. Phil Everly- RIP

('Til) I kissed you  -  1959

" Never knew what I missed 'til I kissed you, "wrote Don about a girl he met on tour in Australia.  Backed by a trio of former Buddy Holly "Crickets", drummer Jerry Allison came up with an intro almost as memorable as his work on Holly's Peggy Sue.

The Price of Love  -  1965

Their own Composition, The Price of Love finds Don and Phil playing the "British Invasion" - which they had done so much to inspire - at its own game.  Slurring, sneering, the brothers intone: "wine is sweet, gin is bitter, drink 'em all but you won't forget her", to the accompaniment of pounding guitars and a wailing harmonica.
