About Bellamy Brothers Celebrated worldwide for their smooth harmonies, heartfelt lyrics, and a mix of humor and clever themes, the Bellamy Brothers continue entertaining fans globally as the duo approaches its 50th anniversary. David and Howard Bellamy, originally from Darby, Florida, catapulted to fame in the 1970s with their beloved smash hit “Let Your Love Flow” (1976), which topped the Billboard Hot 100 chart. Following that pop success, they transitioned more into country music, becoming a staple of the genre with dozens of hits including “If I Said You Had a Beautiful Body Would You Hold It Against Me,” “Redneck Girl,” “Do You Love as Good as You Look,” and “Old Hippie.”
They are the only U.S. country music act who have toured in Dubai, India, Sri Lanka, New Caledonia and Qatar. Before forming their duo, both brothers played in various bands in the late 1960s and early 70s. David wrote the song “Spiders and Snakes,” which became a hit for Jim Stafford in 1974. That success gave David his first big break in the music industry. By the 1990s, the Bellamy Brothers took a bold step and started releasing music independently under their own label, Bellamy Brothers Records. This allowed them greater creative freedom and a more direct relationship with their fans. They also began cultivating a massive international following, particularly in Europe.
The Bellamy Brothers hold the record in both the Academy of Country Music (ACM) and the Country Music Association Awards (CMA) for the most duo nominations. Numerous Grammy nods have also been directed toward the brothers. The Bellamys have also opened up their lives to television audiences with their reality show, “Honky Tonk Ranch,” which chronicles their lives, blending music stardom, vigorous road tours and cattle ranching. Viewers can now watch episodes on American Country Network.
In 2024, the duo released Double Dog Dare via Bellamy Brothers Records and Select-O-Hits. In November of 2024, the Nashville Songwriters Hall of Fame inducted David Bellamy into the prestigious class of songwriters during the 54th Nashville Songwriters Hall of Fame Gala.
