By Karen Kier
Pharmacist on behalf of the ONU HealthWise team

The Everly Brothers released their hit single “All I Have to Do Is Dream” in 1958.  This followed their 1957 hit “Wake Up Little Susie.” The songs were written by the prolific duo of Felice and Boudleaux Bryant.  The legendary Chet Atkins played the guitar for The Everly Brothers on both singles. The Everly Brothers were known as an American rock duo and as pioneers of country rock.
