When Paul Simon and Art Garfunkel started out singing as a folk duo, they were heavily influenced by Phil and Don Everly whose brotherly harmonies laid the creative and popular foundation for all folk and rock and roll-tinged vocal harmonizers that followed. The two brothers were born into a musical family that had them perform at a young age and granted them early exposure to the music business. These industry connections would prove fruitful when the duo sought a career of their own. Their harmonies eventually caught the attention of music publishers Acuff-Rose and the lyric pens of Felice and Boudleaux Bryant. This early collaboration would lead to The Everlys's most iconic tunes that built off of the brothers' harmonies, country twang, and early rock and roll sound. These included "Bye Bye Love" and chart-topper "Wake Up Little Susie" both released in 1957. A packaging debut album The Everly Brothers was released in early 2008 to capitalize on the duo's quick rise to fame.
