Don Everly, who with his brother, Phil, was part of the Everly Brothers, a huge chart success in the late 1950s and early 1960s that grew into Rock and Roll Hall of Famers, died on Saturday at his home in Nashville. He was 84.
A family spokesman confirmed the death to The Los Angeles Times. No cause was given.
The duo were one of the first pop-rock acts to emerge from Nashville, and became instant hitmakers on the strength of the soaring harmonies in such songs as “Wake Up Little Susie” and “Cathy’s Clown.” They became a major influence on everything to follow, from the British Invasion through the Southern California county-rock scene.
Their harmonies on such hits as “Bye Bye Love” and “All I Have To Do Is Dream” are timeless and unforgettable. Don Everly usually sang lead, with his brother handling the higher harmony.

Exclusive: A documentary and a feature biopic are in the works about the great Lefty Frizzell, one of the most influential singer-songwriters in the history of country music.
Extrovert Entertainment announced a deal with Frizzell’s family to make the films about the late performer, who died 46 years ago this day–on July 19, 1975–at the age of 47. His songs include “I Love You A Thousand Ways,” “If You’ve Got the Money (I’ve Got the Time)”, “Saginaw, Michigan,” and “Long Black Veil,” the latter song recorded in a haunting version by Johnny Cash.
In addition to his chart-topping hits, Frizzell was known for his dynamic performing style.
“Lefty is often referred to as the original Elvis, from the way he moved on stage, his legendary stage clothes, and how his good looks and voice made women swoon but beyond his talent is a fascinating story worthy of both a documentary and biopic,...

Clint Eastwood is We Are Movie Geeks favorite stars and directors. After last year’s superb Richard Jewell, it’s clear the 89-year old actor and two-time Oscar winning director hasn’t let his age slow him down a bit.
Clint Eastwood has appeared in 68 films in his six (!) decades as an actor, and here, according to We Are Movie Geeks, are his ten best:
Check back here at Wamg soon for a list of Clint’s ten best films as a director.
Honorable Mention: Honkytonk Man
By the 1980s, Clint Eastwood was one of Hollywood’s most bankable stars. With his own production company, directorial skills, and economic clout, Eastwood was able to make smaller, more personal films. A perfect example is the underrated Honkytonk Man, which also happens to be one of Eastwood’s finest performances.

From the Forties through the mid-Seventies Nashville was staking its claim as Music City, developing the hybrid of country and pop known as the Nashville Sound. At the same time, on the West Coast, the thriving California honky-tonks gave birth to what would be termed the Bakersfield Sound, so named for the town in the southern San Joaquin Valley that would gift country music with two of its most iconic artists: Buck Owens and Merle Haggard.

Painter, poet and musician Joni Mitchell turns 75 years old today. Her artistry has encompassed pop, rock, folk and jazz, earning varying degrees of praise and criticism, especially for her more experimental, jazz-centric works, but she remains, unquestionably, one of the most influential songwriters of the past 50 years.

Ever wonder what you'd find if you got your hands on Blake Shelton's phone? We're guessing Adam Levine's phone number and pics of wife Miranda Lambert, for starters. But it turns out Shelton's phone is also home to one very eclectic music library. So when we asked the singer to share some of his favorite tracks with us, he happily obliged. Read on for his picks: The tune I can't get out of my head is … "Meghan Trainor's 'All About That Bass.' That's a fun one! [Sings] 'I'm all about that bass, 'bout that bass, no treble …' You know it?...
