American rock and roll and country music duo renowned for their close harmony singing style.Formed in 1951 by brothers Don (1937–2021) and Phil Everly (1939–2014), they achieved fame with hits like 'Bye Bye Love' and 'All I Have to Do Is Dream'. They influenced generations of musicians and were inducted into multiple music halls of fame before disbanding after Phil's death.

• Both brothers struggled with substance abuse: Don battled a 20-year addiction to speed, while Phil became addicted to cocaine during the 1970s.
• Phil Everly died on January 3, 2014, from chronic obstructive pulmonary disease exacerbated by lifelong cigarette smoking.
• Don Everly died on August 21, 2021, from natural causes at age 84, having outlived his brother by seven years.
• Their 1958 hit 'Wake Up Little Susie' was banned by some radio stations for its suggestive lyrics about teenagers staying out all night.
