… an interesting year for me. While I never took to Elvis Presley, and my interest in Buddy Holly was quite a few years ahead, the Everly Brothers were a different story! Even though my older sister (now 16) really liked them, and as much as I (now 13) refused to like them …. “Crying in the Rain” really got my attention. I do not recall any reaction to the lyrics until many years later …. but the harmonies? This song was my introduction to close harmonies, and I loved them!

Such an integral part of popular music in the 50’s/60’s. Such a loss, but their sound lives on. 🙂

I have some “oldies” tapes and listened to them all the time in my late teens and early twenties. Songs like these have always been my favorites.

Their harmonizing was new to me in popular music, and probably paved the way for Simon & Garfunkel in my musical journey! 🙂

I agree. I think the harmonies make this song as good as it is.
