- “Bye Bye Love” (1957) “Bye Bye Love” had been rejected by 30 acts when songwriter Boudleaux Bryant played it for the Everlys, who had recently signed to Cadence Records in Nashville.
- “Wake Up Little Susie” (1957) The Everly’s first Number One hit has a hilarious premise: a teenage couple attend a lame movie, fall asleep, only to wake up at 4 a.m.
- “All I Have to Do Is Dream” (1958) Phil Everly called this gorgeously haunting ballad (again written by Felice and Boudleaux Bryant) one of the most important songs his group ever recorded, and it’s easy to hear why.
- “Lightning Express” (1958) After an incredible run of singles including “Bye Bye Love” and “Wake Up Little Susie,” the Everly Brothers fulfilled their contract with Cadence Records with a bold move: Songs Our Daddy Taught Us (the Everlys’ father Ike was an accomplished singer and guitarist who played in a country duo with their mother, Margaret).

Birthplace Brownie, Kentucky. Philip Everly. Born January 19, 1939. Died January 3, 2014. Birthplace Chicago, Illinois. From Nashville to Rock & Roll Stardom. In purely commercial terms, the Everly Brothers were one of the most successful acts in popular music between 1957 and 1962.
The brothers had always been seen as a country act, but they didn’t really want to play country in the traditional sense. They had their own ideas. One of the most significant, but not fully understood, was the fact that Don and Phil had been deeply impressed with the music of Bo Diddley and other acts like him.
