Radio ... and Me - 35

The 'Family-singing-in-harmony' file.
From the time I was a wee tot, I have enjoyed listening to songs featuring close harmony. I suppose that it came from my Mom, who was a member of our church choir, and liked almost every kind of song.
On the radio, we heard harmony in country songs, especially in the high voices of bluegrass style, as well as on Broadway tunes and the latest pop songs.
I began to notice a pattern: across the styles, the names of the singers showed they were members of the same family.
Here's what I mean, as I present some favourite titles (for your listening pleasure):

— Boogie-Woogie Bugle Boy of Company B, by the Andrews Sisters, who were the top singing group during the war years;
— Sincerely, by the McGuire Sisters, who made their name during the 40s and 50s;
— The Naughty Lady of Shady Lane, by The Ames Brothers, (from Malden, Massachusetts), from the same era (about a lady with a 'naughty' reputation, who causes quite a stir, but turns out to be only nine days old!);
— Crying in the Rain, by the Everly Brothers, who were popular in both country and emerging rock'n roll styles. When they began recording, they had already been performing on stage with their parents for more than 10 years;
— Flowers on the Wall, by the Statler Brothers, one of the best-selling country and gospel groups, who won truckloads of awards from the 70s into the 90s. (Strictly speaking, they were not ‘family;’ None of them were ‘Statler’ -- the name was found on a brand of tissues -- and only two of them were brothers!);
— The Dream Never Dies, by the Cooper Brothers, from an Ottawa family, whose music fame rose and fell too quickly.
Of course, throughout these decades, there were exceptions to the ’family’ label:
— Moments to Remember, by the Four Lads, who began singing at St. Michael's Choir School in Toronto, and were recorded by the legendary producer, Mitch Miller, at Columbia Records in New York;
— Carrie Anne, by the Hollies, featuring close three-part harmony during the British Invasion of the 60s.
I have presented only a few groups who did close harmony (not even scratched the surface), but I have saved the best till the last:
— God Only Knows, and Kokomo, by the Beach Boys (made up of three Wilson brothers and their friends), the legendary group who sang about surfing and hot rod cars. Producer Brian Wilson arranged the four traditional 'College Glee Club' Voices and added his own falsetto, for their distinct sound.
By the way, nearly 65 years later, many members of the original group are still on tour (!), and are set to visit the Maritimes again this summer.
