Band,
Pop and Reggae
A.k.a. The Bayou Brothers
The Brothers (also referenced in some sources as simply Brothers) were a UK-based band that scored a top ten hit on the British chart with the song, "Sing Me." The sprightly, reggae-inflected song reached number 8 on the UK Singles Chart in the Spring of 1977. The band consisted of 5 real brothers with the surname Bayou - Clarel (lead vocals), Lindsay (guitar), Gervais (keyboards and guitar), Daniel (bass) and Clarey (drums). They caused a lot of uproar when they posed in tight white shorts covered in baby oil for a photoshoot. It was rumoured the lead singer Clarel was questioning his sexuality at this time however rumours were later dismissed when he appeared to be in a heterosexual relationship.
