the Rhodes Brothers
John takes us through the early years as their vocals blended so well they tried singing at a neighborhood tavern on a tiny stage. It shortly grew into lines around the corner as locals flocked to see and experience their act. Combining original comedy, dance moves, audience inter-action and of course their vocal talent, the brothers knew they had a 'hit'. It was on to national fame! Their involvement with Chuck Zink and the Jerry Lewis telethon cemented their legacy as fundraisers

As their fame grew on television, night clubs around the country they had a crack at their own club in Miami. It highlights a career choice that brought packed houses whenever they took the stage.
