Princes Of Pop

[Frank E Gibbard]

Phil and Don Everly

Harmonised vinylly

So cleverly, warbled

Lightly never heavily

Duo glue will ever be

As if a one eternally

Bonded in fraternity.

Spin on pop siblings

You are still the top

You tube's dribblings

Of you two won't stop.

Thanks, Frank. The Everlys are amongst my favorites; I saw Phil Everly live at a nightclub in the mid-70s. Don was in a mental hospital, at that time, so Phil toured, alone. He and his band did all the hits, not quite the same, but close. I will continue to mourn him, along with Elvis, Roy Orbison, Ricky Nelson and others, not quite as high profile.

 

I enjoyed this, a great deal.

A generous tribute, Frank, but honest to God ... "vinylly ???

 

Cheers, Bren

I'm not such a fan of these guys, but many, many people are. I remember this stuff from certain parts of my childhood, and the music takes me back. Agree with Brendan -- terrific tribute. Very "Frank."

Add my voice to the chorus- Loverly! ;-) Vinyl, what's vinyl?

Lovely childhood memories for me Frank with "Bye Bye Love" and other songs of theirs on 78rpm records that my older brothers brought home and played. The beginning of a new world in so many ways. G.
