A Quote by Don Everly

That's the one part where being brothers makes a difference. It's just instinct. That's the charm of what the Everly Brothers are: two guys singing as one.

... my daughter McKenna thought I sang with the Everly Brothers ... I said, 'no I was one of the Righteous Brothers' and she said 'didn't they invent the airplane?'

Bill Medley

I did meet 'The Everly Brothers' once, and we talked for awhile. Then we figured out we were first cousins! My late mother was the sister of Don and Phil's father, Ike Everly.

James Best

I listen to a lot of Chicago blues, I suppose. It reminds me of growing up, I guess. But I'm also obsessed by close-harmony groups. Actually, I'm fascinated particularly by brother duos, how they blend together. The Everly Brothers, the Stanley Brothers, The McQuarrys. There's something inherently magical about harmony.

John C. Reilly

I would love to write a song with the Everly brothers. But it's probably best not to work with someone you admire: they'll just show up your inadequacies.

Tim Rice

I loved the Everly Brothers better than anybody.

Anne Murray

But when we listened to the radio, it was Bill Haley and the Comets or the Everly Brothers.

Carly Simon

Christians are my brothers, Hindus are my brothers, all of them are my brothers. We just think different and believe different.

Muhammad Ali

Oh, brothers! I don't care for brothers. My elder brother won't die, and my younger brothers seem never to do anything else.

Oscar Wilde

We started out when I was 6 years old. We played ukuleles and sang Everly Brothers songs.

Edgar Winter

Elvis Presley, The Everly Brothers, and a lot of American artists were my greatest influences.

Gordon Waller

Your eyes are as a flame, but our brothers have neither hope nor fire. Your mouth is cut of granite, but our brothers are soft and humble. Your head is high, but our brothers cringe. You walk, but our brothers crawl. We wish to be damned with you, rather than blessed with all our brothers. Do as you please with us, but do not send us away from you.

Ayn Rand

Probably my two biggest musical influences were the Everly Brothers and the Beatles, in chronological order. Both of them have had a very simple-sounding musical style that's actually quite complex as far as popular songs are concerned.

Arlo Guthrie

I have two older brothers. My twin Rob and I are the youngest in the family, and our brothers were born in '76 and '81.

Brook Lopez

My two younger brothers play football as well and they are obviously pretty talented and my two older brothers like to sing and I obviously can't do that.
