Don Everly, half of singing duo who influenced generations of musicians, dies at 84 I remember that, as a 12-year-old, I was really taken the first time that I heard Bye Bye Love. I had not heard of the Everly brothers and the song blew me away. During my adolescence, their songs spoke to my teenage angst (as did a lot of the popular songs that were current at that time). Now, I can still appreciate a lot of that music. Although my main interest still lies in Classical, I retain a fondness for doo-wop and jazz.
