:''For the Doctors fictional character of the same name, see Howard Bellamy'' The Bellamy Brothers are an American pop and country music duo consisting of brothers David Milton Bellamy (born September 16, 1950〔(Top 100 Country Music Artists of All Time - No. 83 - The Bellamy Brothers )〕) and Homer Howard Bellamy (born February 2, 1946〔), from Darby, Florida, United States.〔 The duo had considerable musical success in the 1970s and 1980s, starting with the release of their crossover hit "Let Your Love Flow" in 1976, a Number One single on the ''Billboard'' Hot 100. Starting in the late 1970s, the Bellamy Brothers found success in country music as well, charting twenty Number One singles and more than fifty hits overall on the country charts. To date, they have released more than fifty albums, primarily on Curb Records. They have also enjoyed success in Continental Europe, with a compilation album topping the Norwegian charts in 2011. ==History== David and Howard Bellamy were inspired by many musical sources from an early age. Their father played country music around the house, and was also a member of a local Western swing band; in addition, they were inspired by the rock and roll music their sister played, Despite having never had formal music training, both brothers learned how to play guitar, mandolin, and banjo. In addition, David learned accordion, fiddle, organ, and piano.〔 Their first musical gig was in 1968 at a benefit concert with their father in San Antonio, Florida at the Rattlesnake Roundup.〔(Bellamy Brothers - Biography )〕〔(BellamyBrothers.com : Up Close )〕 Soon after, the brothers moved to Atlanta, Georgia and formed a band called Jericho.〔 However, playing in bands and clubs proved tiresome for the brothers, who soon moved back home.〔 The brothers were soon noticed by a friend of recording artist Jim Stafford, who eventually recorded "Spiders & Snakes", written by Stafford and David. "Spiders & Snakes" went on to become a top 5 hit, providing the Bellamys with the money to move to Los Angeles, California.〔〔 Howard became a road manager for Stafford; Stafford's previous road manager, Leo Gallagher, later gained fame as a comedian.〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「The Bellamy Brothers」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
