I just mentioned they had a hit with that song, Jack!! :lol: I didn't care for that song myself. Speaking of hated songs, "Afternoon Delight"! The Starland Vocal Band was made up of two couples: spouses who later split, and a couple that married after the song became a hit (their ONLY hit). *ducks from Jack*

Half of the members of the Australian rock band INXS are brothers, Tim, Andrew, and Jon Farriss.

There was the husband and wife duo of Boy Meets Girl (Shannon Rubicam and George Merrill) who are best remembered for writing a few of Whitney Houston's hits and their own hit single Waiting For A Star To Fall back in the mid 80s but they've been divorced for several years now. They actually wrote Waiting For A Star To Fall for Whitney Houston but she passed on it, so they recorded it themselves and scored their only American hit.

Here's a couple more from country music.

Two of the four members of The Statler Brothers are really brothers, but unusually none of the members of the singing group has the last name Statler. The brothers are Harold Reid and Don Reid.

The country singing duo The Kendalls was made up of father Royce Kendall and daughter Jeannie Kendall. Royce Kendall died several years ago but I don't know if Jeannie Kendall's still alive.
