Cissy I think - and isn't Dionne Warwick her auntie??

Randy and Bert Brown of The Newcomers

Pops Staples and the Clan - Mavis, Cleotha, Yvonne and Pervis

Not sure if George 'King' Scott and Charlie Scott of The Hesitations were brothers.

Fred and James Ferguson of Mad Dog and The Pups fame - whose lead singer was Oliver Cheatham of Get Down Saturday Night fame (apparently).

Moses and Joshua Dillard

I'm off t'bar anyway - don't want to get too associated with the anorak fraternity ranting_1.gif:thumbsup:

Nobody's mentioned the Scott twins (Walter and Scotty) from the Whispers, yet. or Eddie Cornelius (Cornelius Brothers) and Prince Gideon of "Smooth Sailing" fame...

...Or try this one on for size:

The late Al Perkins was the brother of (the happily still very much with us) Vee Allen, who used to be married to (and is still friends with) Na Allen, whose sister is Denise La Salle. All true, I swear!

Eddie Holland's brother is called Brian, Lamont Dozier doesn't have a brother but his son Beau is playing hide the sausage with Joss Stone....

The Mayfield singers are Leroy Hutson and Donny Hathaway among others - none of whom are related to each other, much less to Curtis Mayfield!

I'll allow you Ahmet and his late brother Nesuhi, though, and I'll even spell them properly for you! :(

Cecil is Bobbys brother and Cecils wife Linda (Womack and Womack) is Sam Cookes daughter..

And Linda Womack didn't mind either of the brothers. Was married to Bobby then went off with Cecil. I suppose it saves changing your last name if you keep it in the family.

Also aren't the Jackson's brothers? :unsure:

Here's a couple of interesting ones for you:

N'Cole on Millennium is Teddy Pendergrass' brother

Michael Walker on Thunder (the excellent "I Got A Notion, You Got The Motion") is Phillippe Wynne of the Spinners/Funkadelic's brother.

Diane Lewis ("I Thank You Kindly") is Pat Lewis' sister

Milton Wright, Jeanette Holloway, Leno Phillips/Phillip Wright and Betty Wright are all siblings

Martha Reeves and Lois Reeves (Vandellas/Quiet Elegance) are sisters

Jodi Mathis is Johnny Mathis sister (he lied - but all the rest are true!)

Not really siblings, but a mother and her children...

Johnnie Mae Matthews offspring are Black Nasty, but I would have to get on my hands and knees to rummage about for the LP to get there names and frankly I can't be bothered :unsure:

Good job I was sent home from work. I was clearly halucinating.

I thought Bobby married Lindas mother (Sam Cookes widow) so was her step father?

Very intercesting facts!! :):yes:

Also aren't the Jackson's brothers? :)

Apart from Michael who has yet to have his sex determined! :unsure:

Yes, that's right, he married Barbara Campbell Cooke less than 9 months after Sam was shot. Talk about your dead man's shoes. Thus Linda was both his stepdaughter and, once she married Cecil, his sister in law. And you thought it was only three toed hillbilles who got up to this sort of thing...

Off topic sorry !

Story went as far as I was told

Bobby was with Mother and Daughter. Then daughter fell for Cecil, there was a big fight ! They fell out and have not spoken sice ? So he was well into dead mans shoes ?

All very messy and odd !

This came from a freind who left the U.K as he got together with one of the backing singers, when they were over hear in the 80s. He ran off with her to L.A. That didn't work out I might add.

Andy Weeks rest in peace xx

I could be wrong on all of the above :unsure:

How about The Five Stairsteps . . . Clarence Burke, Jnr. (lead), Aloha Burke (contralto), James Burke (first tenor), Kenneth Burke (second tenor), Dennis Burke (baritone), Cubie Burke (lead), Clarence Burke, Snr. (guitar).

NOW THAT IS KEEPING IT IN THE FAMILY!

Martin

P.S. Are any of them related to Keni Burke who did the brilliant "Risin' to the top"??
