Bellamy Brothers – The Artist

The Bellamy Brothers are an American pop and country music duo consisting of brothers David Milton Bellamy (born 1950) and Homer Howard Bellamy (born 1946), from Darby, Florida. The duo had considerable musical success in the 1970s and 1980s, starting with the release of their crossover hit “Let Your Love Flow” in 1975.

Let Your Love Flow – The Song

‘Let Your Love Flow’  is a pop song written by Larry E. Williams which was recorded in the autumn of 1975 by country music duo the Bellamy Brothers for whom it afforded an international hit in 1976. Although “Let Your Love Flow” was also a hit on the Hot Country Singles & Tracks chart, the Bellamys’ country music success was limited until 1979, when “If I Said You Had a Beautiful Body Would You Hold It Against Me” was released. The song, with its double entendre title derived from a Groucho Marx quote, landed the Bellamys their first country music No. 1 in the United States. It was first played on radio in the United Kingdom in Northern Ireland in 1979 and went on to become Record of the Year in the UK in 1979. In 2008 and 2009 Let Your Love Flow enjoyed a UK chart renaissance due to the song’s being featured in a television ad for Barclays promoting the bank’s Barclaycard in its contactless format.

Cowboy Boots & Stetson Hat – The Shape

Modelled into a silhouette of the a Cowboy boot and Stetson hat as worn by the original US cowboys and now worn at country music dances and festivals. Stetson is a brand of hat manufactured by the John B. Stetson Company. Founded in 1865, John B. Stetson Company began when John B. Stetson headed west and created the original hat of the pioneering American West, the “Boss of the Plains”. This Western hat would become the cornerstone of Stetson’s hat business and is still in production today. Cowboy boots refer to a specific style of riding boot, historically worn by cowboys. They have a high heel that is traditionally made of stacked leather, rounded to pointed toe, high shaft, and, traditionally, no lacing. Cowboy boots are normally made from cowhide leather, which may be decoratively hand tooled, but are also sometimes made from “exotic” skins. There are two basic styles of cowboy boots, western (or classic), and roper. The classic style is distinguished by a tall boot shaft, going to at least mid-calf, with an angled “cowboy” heel, usually over one inch high. A slightly lower, still angled, “walking” heel is also common. The toe of western boots was originally rounded or squared in shape. The narrow pointed toe design appeared in the early 1940s.
