Phil & Don Everly have influenced the work of countless musicians. Check out Simon & Garfunkel's 'Mrs Robinson' or The Beatles 'Things We Said Today'. Yet when the Everly's started out, they were barely acknowledged in Nashville, where brother duo's were a country staple via acts such as The Louvin Brothers and The Stanley Brothers.
'Bye Bye Love was written by Felice & Boudleaux Bryant, who also provided Don & Phil with later hits 'Wake Up Little Susie', All I Have To Do Is Dream', 'Bird Dog', 'Problems', 'Poor Jenny' and 'Take A Message To Mary'. Before all this there was 'Bye Bye Love', a song rejected by 30 other acts but a perfect vehicle for the vocal talents of The Everly's.
