Family Brown was a Canadian country music band founded in 1967 by Joe Brown. The group included his son Barry Brown on vocals and guitar, daughters Lawanda and Tracey on vocals, Dave Dennison on guitar, and Ron Sparling on drums. They signed with MCA Records in 1971, releasing their self-titled debut album that year. Family Brown gained national attention through the TV show Call It Country and charted several singles, including "R.R. No. 2" and "But It's Cheating." The band recorded nine studio albums for RCA Records between the 1970s and 1980s, with notable releases such as Familiar Faces, Familiar Places, Raised on Country Music and Feel the Fire. They won 18 Canadian Country Music Association awards. The band disbanded in 1990 following Joe Brown's death in 1986. Family Brown was inducted into the Canadian Country Music Hall of Fame in 1997.
