MM – 1961

Released in 1961 as a single, “Walk Right Back” became a major hit for The Everly Brothers, reaching number 7 on the Billboard Hot 100 in the US and peaking at number 1 on the UK Singles Chart. Written by Sonny Curtis, the song showcases the duo’s signature close-harmony singing, blending country and rock & roll influences into a smooth, melodic sound. With its catchy guitar riff and heartfelt lyrics about longing for a lost love, the track became one of their most enduring classics. Though often overshadowed by their earlier hits like “Bye Bye Love” and “Wake Up Little Susie,” “Walk Right Back” remains a fan favorite and a testament to The Everly Brothers’ timeless appeal in the golden age of rock and pop.

I had completely forgotten about this song and that they sung it. Thanks for the “blast from the past”!
