The Everly Brothers: Pioneer of Close Harmony

The Everly Brothers, consisting of Phil and Don Everly, were pioneers of close harmony in rock music. Their first hit, 'Bye Bye Love,' was a breakthrough success. Their use of close harmony in every song influenced the way we write and perform music today. Their album was a childhood favorite for many, including myself, and their music continues to stand the test of time.
