I will miss the beautiful harmonies. Rest In Peace.

LOS ANGELES - Phil Everly, who with his brother Don formed an influential harmony duo that touched the hearts and sparked the imaginations of rock 'n' roll singers for decades, including the Beatles and Bob Dylan, died Friday. He was 74.

Everly died of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease at a Burbank hospital, said his son Jason Everly.

Phil and Don Everly helped draw the blueprint of rock 'n' roll in the late 1950s and 1960s with a high harmony that captured the yearning and angst of a nation of teenage baby boomers looking for a way to express themselves beyond the simple platitudes of the pop music of the day.

The Beatles, early in their career, once referred to themselves as "the English Everly Brothers." And Bob Dylan once said, "We owe these guys everything. They started it all."

For a while I've noticed more and more that I have been hearing intros to tunes in the pattern "Here's ladeda by heehaa who died (this year ... last week)".

It's a given of course, but those of that generation were the innovators ... probably because they could ride bikes without helmets !

The heavenly harmonies will linger on. He's at least moved on to a place where he will fit in marvellously!
