Wake up little Susie - Album by The Everly Brothers with Orchestra | Spotify

1957 HITS ARCHIVE: Wake Up Little Susie - Everly Brothers (the original #1  version)


On October 14, 1957, the Everly Brothers, one of the most important
and influential groups in the history of rock and roll, scored their
first #1 song: "Wake Up Little Susie."

That success came hot on the heels of their first big hit, "Bye Bye
Love," with which they had burst onto the music scene earlier that
year.

The Everly Brothers would earn 25 top-40 hits over the first five years
of their hugely influential recording career, including two more #1s:
"All I Have To Do Is Dream" (1958) and "Cathy’s Clown" (1960).

Decades later, their impact on popular music is still evident.
