- Soundtrack
As a child Felice Bryant composed lyrics set to traditional Italian
melodies and, in her teens, sang on her local radio station. In 1945
she was working as an elevator operator at a Milwaukee hotel when she
met Boudleaux Bryant, a jazz and country violinist from Georgia who was
performing at the hotel. They eloped two days later and, after their
marriage, she adopted the name Felice from a pet name her husband
called her.
They came to national prominence when their song-writing collaborations produced a string of top hits for the Everly Brothers beginning in the mid 1950s. Their songs have also been recorded memorably by Bob Dylan, Simon and Garfunkel, Chet Atkins, the Beatles, the Grateful Dead, the Beach Boys, Elvis Presley, Roy Orbison, Buddy Holly and many others.
