The Everly Brothers, a legendary duo whose music dominated the charts in the 1950s and 60s, have unexpectedly landed a new hit in the UK. Their classic track “Let It Be Me” has re-entered the Official Singles Sales and Official Singles Downloads charts after a recent performance by Tom Jones and LeAnn Rimes on the UK version of “The Voice.”
The duo’s heartfelt rendition of the song, originally a French hit in the late 1950s, sparked renewed interest and a surge in sales for the Everly Brothers’ version. This marks the first time the song has charted in the UK since its initial release in 1960.
“Let It Be Me” peaked at number 13 on the UK singles chart in 1960, solidifying the Everly Brothers’ status as one of the most popular music acts of the time. The song’s resurgence on the charts, decades after its initial success, is a testament to the enduring power of their music and the ability of a powerful cover performance to reignite interest in classic songs.
