Benchmark automotive birmingham5/15/2024 ![]() ![]() Brian Ferry had a big hit with this great tune and with its fab guitar riff, it's even on my own set list!!! Their heavier songs like "The Price of Love" are timeless and feature in many Rock acts today. Their songs have been recorded by a mountain of acts and artists. Of all the acts mentioned none have had the enduring affection enjoyed by Don and Phil Everlys contribution to music by other musicians. I started, so I'll finish with the Everly Brothers. In the 1980's the song was recorded by The Damned and charted at No 3 so even punks loved it!! The duo split which was good for them because in 1968 Paul Ryan had his greatest success singing a song "Eloise" written by his Brother Barry which was a real tour de force and stormed up the charts getting to No 2. They came on the scene and charted with their first single in 1965 "Dont bring me Your Heartaches" and had a further 8 chart hits up to 1967, all in the bottom half of the Top 20. My condolences go out to his wife Teri, his lovely family and his many friends.This hero of Rock and Roll will be sadly missed, certainly by this man.Ī bit of a sad blog but as we get older we see our friends passing away with regularity, sadness never diminishes but gives us the chance to celebrate their living years.Ĭontact: young men were more than Brothers, they were twins and sons of singer Marion Ryan. You can read that very interesting article by clicking on the link below SHAKIN ALL OVERīrian sadly passed away 5 days ago. I asked him if I could write about the recording of "Shakin all Over" for the Bulls Head Bob blog and he was very forthcoming giving me many details about this historic song which has been recorded or played by gazillions of bands world wide. I met him through a good friend and it was great for me, as a muso, to talk to him. There were also The original Pirates reunion gigs with Catini and Caddy.Įven with all his incredible history Brian was such a nice guy and willing to extend help to others including XTC guitarist Andy Partridge who bought a guitar from him. Brian's music contribution didn't stop there and he still played at various gigs including an annual concert celebrating the music of Eddie Cochran with the band including Big Jim Sullivan, Rod Argent and Eddie Cochrans younger brother. Moody blues following Denny's departure and the band worked on their new material ie "Days of Future Past" and yours truly was on the same bill as them when they first played it live.
