Bellamy Brothers
THE BELLAMY BROTHERS: THE LOVE STILL FLOWS? Howard and David continue to prove that the trail they’ve ridden to fame has been as unique as their music itself?music that is now celebrating 40 years of success. The road that started on the pop music charts in the ?70’s, took a winding turn into country music in the ?80’s, paving the way for duos to come before the road forked into country. The musical odyssey of brothers Bellamy started creatively smoldering in their home state of Florida, before exploding nationally amidst the ?70’s pop music culture of L.A. Hits include: ?If I Said You Had A Beautiful Body (Would You Hold It Against Me),? ?Let Your Love Flow,? ?Dancing Cowboys,? ?Sugar Daddy,? ?You Ain’t Just Whistlin? Dixie,? ?Lovers Live Longer,? ?Do You Love As Good As You Look,? ?Redneck Girl,? ?For All The Wrong Reasons,? ?I Love Her Mind,? ?I Need More Of You,? and ?Old Hippie.?
