Featuring "Wake Up Little Susie", "Bye Bye Love", "All I Have To Do Is Dream" & More!!
The release of "Bye Bye Love" sent The Everly Brothers spiraling towards stardom and on May 11, 1957, the boys appeared on the Grand Ole Opry at the Ryman Auditorium in Nashville. Their next song, "Wake Up Little Susie", hit #1 during the week of October 14th and it stayed #1 for four weeks. It became their second million-seller. After recording "Wake Up Little Susie," Don and Phil hit the road for a 78-city tour playing alongside some of the all-time greats of rock 'n' roll such as Chuck Berry, Buddy Knox, The Drifters, Paul Anka, Fats Domino, The Crickets, and Eddie Cochran.
The Everly Brothers topped the charts in Britain and America in the late 50s and early 60s with a series of close-harmony hits including All I Have to Do Is Dream. In all, they enjoyed 26 Billboard Top 40 singles and that achievement was recognized when they were inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1986. Rolling Stone magazine lists them as No.33 on the 100 Greatest Artists of All Time.
"Perhaps even more powerfully than Elvis Presley, the Everly Brothers melded country with the emerging sound of Fifties rock & roll. They were exposed to extraordinary country-roots music, and so they brought with them the legacy of the great brother groups like the Delmore Brothers and the Blue Sky Boys into the Fifties, where they mingled with the other early rock pioneers and made history in the process. The Everly Brothers' impact exceeds even their fame. They were a big influence on John Lennon and Paul McCartney who called themselves the Foreverly Brothers early on and, of course, on Simon and Garfunkel." - Paul Simon, Rolling Stone
