That Silver Haired Daddy of Mine - The Everly Brothers - MP3 instrumental karaoke

"That Silver-Haired Daddy of Mine” was penned by "The Singing Cowboy" Gene Autry and his brother-in-law and business manager Jimmy Long, who had a hit with their duet way back in 1932. Over 25 years later, The Everly Brothers aka Don and Phil Everly put their stamp on "That Silver-Haired Daddy of Mine” for their aptly titled 1958 album Songs Our Daddy Taught Us. At the time, the close harmony masters were riding high off the success of their breakthrough commercial hit "Bye Bye Love", which catapulted the pair into the charts in 1957 and kickstarted their ensuing reign at the top. For Songs Our Daddy Taught Us, they turned their attention to the sonic lessons learned from their father Ike Everly, lovingly adding their voices to tracks like this one. A gentle acoustic ballad, "That Silver-Haired Daddy of Mine" is a stripped-back example of The Everly Brothers' country roots that nods to their Kentucky childhood.
