The article highlights ‘Devoted to You’ by the Everly Brothers as a 1958 song that Mike Love says would make him happy. It presents the track as significant because the duo’s harmonies influenced Love and Brian Wilson, helping to shape the vocal approach later associated with the Beach Boys.

Love recalls that he, Wilson and Love’s sister Maureen sang Everly Brothers songs while walking home from Presbyterian church youth nights, expanding the duo’s two-part harmonies into three parts. He calls the Everlys a major inspiration and says ‘Devoted to You’ is particularly close to his heart.
