Everly Brothers' 'Sleepless Nights' - my fav Everly's song, and I've never heard it on radio before. Though I was the only person who loves it. Thanks!

I researched the CKCU playlists, and discovered that the Gram Parsons & Emmylou Harris version of Sleepless Nights has been played several times, but the only person who has played the Everly's version was I, on Window of Opportunity a few years back. After checking out Gram's original on YouTube, I have to say I prefer the Everly's, who changed some of the harmonies for the better in this song so rich in chord structure.
