The Bellamy
Brothers, 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
30 years of success. Commenting
on their tour to India, the brothers states:
David Bellamy - “We
have our fans and with this tour I am sure we will make more…”
Howard Bellamy -
“We will play all our hit tracks and will
get the crowds to move…”
Along the way, Howard and David created a patent on
the newly cool “duo” category in country music. In the era of the 2000’s,
The Bellamy Brothers hold the record in both the Academy of Country Music
Association Awards (CMA) for the most duo nominations. Numerous
Grammy nods have also been directed toward the brothers Music (ACM) and the
Country.

About the Bellamy
Brothers:
The road that
started on the pop music charts in the ‘70’s, took a winding turn into country
music in the ‘80’s. The brothers first official gig was in 1968, playing a free
show with their father at the Rattlesnake Roundup in San Antonio,
Florida. They honed their early skills playing black clubs throughout the
south, and singing backup for artists such as Percy Sledge, Eddie Floyd, and
Little Anthony & The Imperials.
Within a few
months, the brothers moved north, immersing themselves and their rock/country
sound in the Atlanta market. The Bellamy's music picked-up the hard driving
edge that bespoke the times. Songwriting had become David Bellamy’s drug
of choice during the long road gigs he and Howard were regularly pulling bodies
and equipment to and from. It was his songwriting that was posed to soon
provide the duo a national breakout.
The break came in
the form of the hit, “Spiders & Snakes,” written by David and recorded by
Jim Stafford. The song became a smash, eventually selling more than three
million units worldwide. It became the catapult that rocketed the brother
onto the L.A. music scene.
The Bellamys
officially lifted off the launch pad in 1976 when their single, “Let Your Love
Flow,” became an instant smash in both the U.S. and Europe. It stayed on
the international charts long enough to build a huge international fan base for
the hip young brothers that endures to this day. In Germany alone it
perched at #1 for more than two months. The love was indeed flowing as The
Bellamys jammed for audiences on their sold-out concerts.
By the late ‘70’s
The Bellamys were emerging on the country charts with another bona fide smash.
“If I Said You Had A Beautiful Body (Would You Hold It Against Me),” originally
scrawled on a dinner napkin by David, rocketed them to the top of the country
charts the way “Let Your Love Flow,” had done in the pop market just a few
years earlier. It proved to be the first of a string of fourteen #1
singles in the U.S. alone.
Success followed
success: “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,” “Old Hippie,”
“Too Much Is Not Enough,” “Kids Of The Baby Boom,” and “Reggae Cowboy” and
“Crazy From The Heart,”…all have lined the corridors of the Bellamy’s musical history
and their walls with platinum and gold.
