The Bar Was Raised In 1971 With Fearless But The Band's Biggest Success Was Yet To Come In 1972's Bandstand Featuring Hits "Burlesque" And "My Friend The Sun". This Was Followed By The Underrated But Enjoyable It's Only A Movie Where The Band's Sound Was Augmented By Tony Ashton Of Ashton Gardner And Dyke On Piano. Family Disbanded In 1973 And Former Members Went On To Play In The Bands King Crimson The Streetwalkers And Stud. 2 Family Was A Disco Group Who Formed In The 1970's And Released The Single 'Music Listen To The Music ' On The Salsoul Label Which Was Later Re-Released On The Suss'd 2007 Compilation 'Deep Disco Culture Vol. 2'. 3 Family Was A Spanish Indie Band Active 1991-1993 Formed By Javier Aramburu And Iñaki Gametxogoikoetxea.
