The Bellamy Brothers are a pop and country music duo composed of brothers David Milton Bellamy and Homer Howard Bellamy - who is four years older than David.
Born in Darby, Florida, the Bellamys were surrounded by music from an early age. Their father played country music around the house, and was also a member of a local Western swing band. They were also 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.

The brothers 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.
Beginning 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.
