Phil Everly, who with his brother Don set a standard for rock 'n' roll harmony that has not yet been matched, died Friday in Burbank after a long battle against chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. He was 74.
His wife Patti told the Los Angeles Times he contracted the disease from a lifetime of smoking.
The Everly Brothers were the only group among the first inductees to the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1986.
