The Bellamy Brothers:

The Bellamy Brothers - Two and Only.  I wish this record had their great song, Let Your Love Flow, on it - but it does not.  Is it just me - or do these guys remind you also of Brewer & Shipley?   My pal Greg told me he is on the lookout for the Brewer & Shipley record with One Toke Over the Line on it.  This record is from 1979, it is their fourth studio effort and this tidbit worth copying:  "They signed to Curb Records in 1975.  And a first single, featuring only David Bellamy, "Nothin' Heavy", was a flop.  However, at the suggestion of Neil Diamond's drummer Dennis St. John, the Bellamy brothers recorded and released the single "Let Your Love Flow," (again - not on this album) which was written by Diamond's roadie Larry Williams.  That song was released in 1976, "and reached No. 1 on the American pop charts, plus charting in many others countries worldwide."  [wiki]
