The Keane Brothers
I believe you have several unforgettable genius brothers names; one should be "Porcaro" (Jeffrey, Steve, Mike). Someone may say "Williams" (Joseph and Mark T.). "Keane" should be another one. Tom Patrick Keane (born on March 13, 1964) and John Morgan Keane (born on April 26,1965) grew up in Los Angeles. To our surprise, the Keane brothers got a deal with 20th Century Records when they were only 11/12 years old. And this is the very first album of The Keane Brothers produced by David Foster. Out of 10 songs on this album, Tom wrote 9 songs, all of which are really great Westcoast pops. Tom's vocal might sound like those done by Hanson in 90's becuase of his age but you may confirm Tom's excellent potential talent as a singer by listening to this album. In 1979, Keane brothers released another album "Taking Off" under abc Records produced by Lamont Dozier (except 2songs done by David Foster and David Paich). Then the brothers kept silent for 2 years and in 1981 they appeared in front of Japanese music lovers with the album "Keane" as the band "Keane" with Mark Moulin (guitars) and Mike Millwood (bass). As you may know, "Today Tomorrow And Tonight" followed in 1982.
