The Bellamy Brothers....

All things country!

Postby Amber on November 20th, 2008, 1:18 pm

I just read that the Bellamy Brothers have a top 30 hit with "Let Your Love Flow" over on the UK singles Chart because of it's use in a bank commercial...interesting. I like a few Bellamy Brother songs- including this one. If this gets them some attention- then I'm for it. What's your thoughts?

It's @ #28 on this chart...

BTW- According to my Billboard book, it only went to number 21 back in 1976 on the country charts. Not sure if it was on the pop charts or not. (Though I'm sure it was)

It was a huge pop hit, Top 10 or better. I haven't ever liked this band but can tolerate a few tracks if I hear them...

The song was a pop hit in the 70s in the UK, so it should be familiar to most viewers. I didn't realise they'd re-released it to cash in on the new exposure, though.

It's quite a cute advertisement (British English for commercial), actually: if anyone wants to see what it looks like, there's a couple of links here:

I can tolerate "Old Hippie " now and again, but that's about as much Bellamy Brothers as one needs to hear in a lifetime.

I actually like a few of their songs .... 'Do You Love As Good As You Look' and 'Redneck Girl' are fun.
