"Ain't That A Mother's Luck" by Dorothy Moore

Mississippi singer Dorothy Moore got her start in a 60s group known as The Poppies before going solo in the 70s. Best known for her ballads, especially the smash hit "Misty Blue" (which went to #3 in 1976), Moore also sounded great on funky disco tunes.

"Ain't That A Mother's Luck" is one that came from the same album as "Misty Blue." It was the B-side to her follow-up single written by Willie Nelson, "Funny How Time Slips Away." It only went to #58, but Moore would see the top 40 once more in 1977 with her version of a song written by The Addrisi Brothers, "I Believe You" (#27).

“We’ve Got To Get It On Again” by The Addrisi Brothers

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.

The brothers rerecorded “Never My Love” on their 1972 album, “We’ve Got To Get It On Again”.

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.
