Top Everly Brothers Songs (as voted by the fans) | #6 - Cathy’s ClownAfter signing a $1 million deal with Warner Brothers, the Everlys needed to come up with a hit fast to prove they were worth it.Cathy’s Clown became the Everlys’ biggest hit, topping the Billboard charts for five weeks and the British charts for seven.The name Cathy comes from Don’s high school girlfriend, and the subject of the song was influenced by a story their father Ike had told them when they were younger.Though both Don and Phil mentioned multiple times that they wrote the song together, Phil’s songwriting credit was removed in 1980. In 2016 Phil’s widow, Patti and his son, Jason sued Don to reinstate Phil’s songwriting credit on the song. The case is still currently being argued. -- source link
