Neil Young Inducts the Everly Brothers into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame 

The Everly Brothers and Beach Boys were the soundtrack of my teens. Couldn’t have been any better.

There is a snippet of the Everly Brothers and the Beach Boys singing "Don't Worry Baby" here on RU-vid that makes me wanna cry it's so sweet. I wish they had done a bit more together. The Everly Brothers were the First and the best ... they perfected the art of harmony. Soundtrack of my youth 🎼🖤

Philip I'm so glad you said that because that IS the perfect way to describe the Beach Boys especially at the height of their powers in late 60s and early 70s. But I have never listened to the Everly Brothers so to hear they beat the BBs makes me want to discover their magic. Which I will do.

Check out our Cover there is a lots of songs from the everly brothers. Let me know if you already check God Bless you Love The Everly brothers ♥♥♥

Bee gees?

Byrds, Moby Grape and Simon and Garfunkel would be contenders

I agree! And I'm going w/ The Cactus Blossoms! Started w/ Powder Blue...

@@user-xt8ij4wb5i Everly Brothers did it first and did it best. BTW, Garfunkle wasn't a musician. Don and Phil both were.

True, true, so true! 4 Everly in our hearts! Their music history will join other irreplaceable greats, to never be again, it was our lucky generation.) And now the Kennedy Center dragging their feet.(. Who are on these committees? So late, now that Phil is gone.(

Ange Peebles Dang tight, Ange!

So Sad. Too late foe The Kennedy Center Awards.Should have been. Sam Cooke also!

NOW DON IS GONE TOO...MAY THEY ENJOY THEIR hEAVEN TOGETHER.

i was so shocked that he seemingly has no rhythm...well for dancing anyway

Very, very well observed! They once broke up over that, but thankfully by the 1980´s they had figured it out how to handle their relationship.

@@v-g-z3689 Nice sentiment but no they really hadn't hence why the brothers weren't even on speaking terms when Phil died. Nothing in their personal dynamic had changed in their 10 years apart. There are many articles available documenting their continued contentious relationship. That said this snippet is very telling about Don's attitude about the duo. Also very telling is Don's need for Phil to speak first to set the tone and follow his lead for his portion of the acceptance speech. Just my thoughts.

@@Leen61 Yeah, I kinda agree, it wasn´t perfect. But I feel like that at least in the 80´s they got along alright and seem a lot more relaxed with each other on stage than before the breakup in ´73. But yes it´s true that they still had many differences in their later years.

Really and truly.. Last Man Standing!

And now Jerry's gone too.

Yes Indeed

Great idea, but--don't hold your breath. They're mighty stingy. It was great when this all started and they broadcast the entire show LIVE, uncut and uncensored. Those days are long gone.

Someone said the Everly Brothers didn't perform at their induction. There is footage up showing Chuck Berry performing (Phil is watching) with other famous guitarists supporting Chuck. Looks like the orgaznizers didn't think to ask Don & Phil to sing ... even though they sang better than anyone else inducted that year and were still performing at the time. Unfortunately ... Sigh.

I was there. The Everly Brothers did not perform by themselves. There was a very disorganized (but amazing) jam session at the end of the night and they were up there with everyone else. Most amazing night of my life.

Ed Kaz I was there too. I had a tape recorder in my pocket. I didn't get all of it but it's fun to play if I can even find it anymore. I sneaked in with a tuxedo on and a clipboard to look like I was doing something important.

Preston Bealle Oh if you do put it up, please let us know. You recorded history when no one else thought to do so!

Shouldn't be too hard. It's a U.S. Army Cavalryman's from the period of the Indian Wars, c. 1880. It's been a very popular retro hat for many decades and can be found in many places; with or without the crossed sabers on the front. Even though the U.S. Army Cavalry became heliborne and armored a very long time ago, the troopers assigned to the Cav units still wear this hat unofficially. (Neil seems to be wearing a miniature set of crossed sabers on his).

mnpd3 awesome dude thanks neil rocks that shit

So true, Neil talkin all bout himself.( Wish they would have performed, jeez Rock & Roll Hall of Fame.(

Get it right will'ya? he was talking about how much the Everly Bros. influenced him when he was young with some personal anecdotes thrown in to totally validate the brothers. Geeze.

Yer....so far up his own arse there's no room for anyone else.....

TO FAR UP HIS OWN ARSE neil young WILL FORGOTTEN WHEN THESE GUYS ARE STILL REVERED

@@lamportnholt9509 Uh, who’s still performing and releasing music even in the age of COVID?

Huh? The Beatles copied them
