Notes |
"A Date with The Everly Brothers" peaked at No. 9 on the Billboard Pop albums charts and reached No. 3 in the UK. The Everly Brothers’ music grew out of a childhood spent singing. They were the sons of a Kentucky coal miner turned musician, Ike Everly, and his wife, Margaret. Don Everly, born Isaac Donald Everly, was born on February 1, 1937 in Brownie, Muhlenberg County, Kentucky. Phillip Everly was born in Chicago on Jan. 19, 1939 (died Friday, January 3, 2014 in Burbank, California). The family had left Kentucky for musical opportunities in Chicago. They soon moved on to Iowa, where Ike Everly found work playing country music on live radio. The Everly Brothers were elected to the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1986 and the Country Music Hall of Fame in 2001. |
