“Bye Bye Love” was a popular rock and roll song released by The Everly Brothers in 1957. The song rose all the way to number two on the Billboard Pop charts and hit number one on the Cash Box Best Selling Record charts. It also made the list of Rolling Stone’s “500 Greatest Songs of All Time” and was inducted into the Grammy Hall of Fame in 1998.
According to SongFacts, the song was rejected by 30 other acts before it was recorded by the Everly Brothers. When speaking about the creation of the song, which was written by Felice and Boudleaux Bryant, Boudleaux said, “I wrote ‘Bye Bye Love’ while traveling home one night. Felice was driving down the highway, and I got the first verse and chorus right down there. I always make sure I have a pen and paper in the car for these occasions.”
Boudleaux continued, “We really believed in the song and were disappointed when so many people turned it down. They said it was unsuitable. Some even asked if we had anything better!”
There was another version of “Bye Bye Love” that was released by Simon & Garfunkel in 1970 on their album, Bridge over Troubled Water. There was also a version released by George Harrison in 1974. However, Harrison changed the words in order to reference his wife, Pattie Boyd, leaving him for Eric Clapton, who was an old friend of his.
