Country music duo 


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Originally appearing on the Grand Ole Opry as part of the Wilburn Family country music group in 1940, the Wilburn Brothers became permanent members of the Opry in 1953, after which they became consistent performers of hit records as well as pioneers of syndicated televised country music. It was on their television program that brothers Teddy and Doyle helped launch the careers of sisters Loretta Lynn and Crystal Gayle in the early 1960s. The brothers also recorded a consistent string of hits from 1953 until the early 1970s, including "I Wanna, Wanna, Wanna," "Trouble's Back in Town," "Roll Muddy River," "It's Another World," and "Someone Before Me," as well as making appearances in the country music travelogue Country Music U.S.A. The Wilburn Brothers' harmonies were modeled on the style revolutionized by the Del-more Brothers, though the Wilburns featured more secular and contemporary lyrics that are often classified as belonging to the honky-tonk genre of country music. The brothers also were songwriters of note, penning such country music chestnuts as "Knoxville Girl," "That's When I Miss You," "Need Someone," and "Much Too Often." In addition to their successes in recording and television, the brothers also formed one of Nashville's most successful music publishing companies, Sure-Fire Music, with brothers Lester and Leslie, as well as the talent/booking agency Wil-Helm Talent, with Smiley Wilson.
