“When Will I Be Loved” was written by Phil Everly and recorded for the Cadence label with his brother Don in 1960, but not immediately released. The Everly Brothers moved to Warner Brothers shortly afterward and rerecorded the number in the softer pop style. Fortunately, Cadence was still able to release the original cut which was the last of the brothers’ great rockabilly numbers. Linda Ronstadt, of course, had an even bigger hit with her release in 1975, and most covers since then have been of her version, as you see today at The Faculty Lounge.
