Somewhere between The Everly Brothers and Bread there was an
underrated singing/songwriting duo known as The Addrisi Brothers. Don and Dick
Addrisi first splashed onto the music scene in 1959 with a near hit called
“Cherrystone”, which went to #62 on the Billboard charts. Fast-forward to 1972
and they had a bigger hit with “We’ve Got To Get It On Again”, which went to
#25.
In the interim, these brothers gave The Association one of
their biggest hits, “Never My Love”, which went all the way to #2 in 1967.

It is puzzling why The Addrisi Brothers didn’t have greater
success themselves. The B-side of this single, "You Make It All
Worthwhile", was also a great tune.
Prior to moving into music, the brothers were a part of
their family’s trapeze act, The Flying Addrisis. Their music career should have soared to greater heights.
