The Addrisi Brothers consisted of brothers Dick (Richard), born 7/4/1941, and Don, born 12/14/1938. Don died of cancer on 11/13/1984 at the age of 45. As children Dick and Don played parts in the legendary Addrisi family acrobatic act. At the behest of comedian Lenny Bruce, they moved to California and auditioned for parts in the Mickey Mouse Club, but did not make the final cut. In 1959 they signed with Del-Fi records (Ritchie Valens label) and charted with "Cherrystone" (#62). They had their first top 40 hit in 1972, "We've Got To Get It On Again" (#25) on Columbia Records. 5 years later they had their second hit song "Slow Dancin' Don't Turn Me On" (#30). Their biggest success was a song they wrote "Never My Love" which was a megahit for The Association (#2), Blue Swede (7) and The 5th Dimension (#12). It was named the second most performed song of the twentieth century behind "You've Lost That Loving Feeling".
