CINEMA WHITBY 668-3618 CINEMASHOWCASE WEo Family Brown coing to the Corral For the sixth consecu- tive year, The Family Brown have been voted the Top Country Group in the prestigious RPM Big Country Awards. Their virtual strangle- hold on the award that places them at the pinn- acle of success is yet another tribute to their monumental talent. The Family Brown were also honoured with the highest award in Cana- dian country entertain- ment when they were named Canadian Coun- try Artist(s) of the Year. The Family Brown will be appearing at the Corral Restaurant in -Oshawa, 433 Simcoe Street South, from November 23 to 28. An institution in Canada, The Family Brown had their pro- fessional beginnings in 1968, when 'Papa' Joe Brown and drummer, Ron Sparling, brought Joe's son, Barry, and two daughters, La- wanda and Tracey, together as a unit. Vir- tually unchanged for almost a decade, The Family Brown show ad- ded the talents of Gary 'Spike' Spicer, in 1979. Playing hotels and dances, The Family Brown rapidly became a favourite throughout the Ottawa valley. Their reputation as a first class country group spread so quickly that they were offered their own television show - Country Way. Country Way blossomed into Family Brown Country, a tele- vision show that is syn- dicated throughout the country. Matching their stunning victory as Top Country Group and Canadian Country Ar- tist(s) of the Year, their highly rated TVer, Family Brown Country, was named the Top Country Television Show for 1981. The Family Brown waited until 1971 before joining a record com- pany. Their initial sin- gle, "R.R. No. 2", gained rapid acceptan- ce and rose to the num- ber two position on Canada's national chart and was followed by an album of the same name. From that auspicious debut of "R.R. 2", in 1971, The Family Brown joined the RCA roster, where they have been among that label's most consistent hitmakers of the past decade. They have logged a total of 23 consecutive chart sin- gles and 9 albums, in- cluding "Familiar Paces, Familiar. Places", which was voted Top Country Album in 1979. Club meets The Canadian Club of the Region of Durham will have Peter H. Ben- nett as guest speaker at the meeting of Novem- ber 19 to be held at the Genosha Hotel, King Street East, Oshawa with dinner at 6:30 p.m. Bennett is special ad- visor to the assistant deputy minister, Parks Canada and has served as national director, National Parks and Sites Branch and Cana- dian delegate on the World Heritage Com- mittee.
