Ellis Marsalis, Jr.
Branford Marsalis
Wynton (and Oni) Marsalis
I could have gone back to Ellis, Sr. I could also have included Delfeayo and Jason Marsalis.

And add to all that her good looks, which were likely downplayed on purpose in the Donna Reed Show. I don't think I've ever seen Coach.
And if you want another family tie-in to Coach, **** Van Dyke's brother, Jerry, plays Luther on the show.
But he doesn't sing on it and we aren't doing siblings, so never mind.

Father and Daughters (with Emmylou Harris taking the third voice).

I took no "brother and sister acts" to mean siblings in the same band.
Special shoutout to Ashley for NOT singing bad country with her mom and sister.
Sadly The Judds sound downright organic compared to today's radio stuff.
And 'Grandpa' still gets me.
Jeff Tweedy of Wilco is also known for work with his son Spencer in Tweedy, but in the Racoonists, he also plays with younger son Sammy.

Shirley Jones was on the early 1970s television show The Partridge Family with her stepson, David Cassidy — about the same time other teen heartthrobs included the Jackson Five and the Osmond Brothers. I guess The Partridge Family was fictional but based on a real family singing group. David wouldn’t have had to sing, but I read somewhere he took his part seriously, worked at it, that he wanted perform the music himself, and do it well. This was probably their best known song:
Not sure how many today would know how popular he was, so here is a bit from David Cassidy’s Wikipedia page: . . . The show proved popular, but the fame took its toll on Cassidy. In the midst of his rise to fame, Cassidy felt stifled by the show and trapped by the mass hysteria surrounding his every move.[11]:92–95 . . . https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/David_Cassidy
Actress Susan Dey would later play an an attorney on the TV series LA Law.
Shirley Jones earlier played Marian the Librarian, in 1962, in the film adaptation of the the hit Broadway show The Music Man. This was Iowa-native Meredith Willson’s ode to his hometown of Mason City (“River City”). Willson also wrote a pep song for ISU (For I For S) and the official fight song for UI. https://archive.inside.iastate.edu/2004/0116/willson.shtml
Below are clips from The Music Man. The first is a classic, of con artist/salesman Harold Hill, but Shirley Jones comes into the picture at the end (the music teacher). In one of their earlier works, The Beatles did a cover of the last one, Till There was You, linked here at the end.

Yes, the info above is correct.

That's cool. Sibling rule could be interpreted two different ways, now that you mention it.
I actually did forget.
On David, I’m not sure I ever knew he was her stepson until I wrote that post. Post post, I wonder if that reference in Wikipedia to “mass hysteria” relates to Harold Hill’s comment about “mass-steria” in that song, conscious or otherwise. Trouble in River City indeed. And “that starts with T which rhymes with P and stands for pool.”
Jones/Patridge is an excellent inclusion for this week's topic. Didn't even think about that one. Good work.
Re: "I guess The Partridge Family was fictional but based on a real family singing group."
Yes, for those unaware, it's based loosely on The Cowsills, real-life folk group formed by three brothers, Bill, Bob and Barry Cowsill. Eventually other siblings joined, along with their mom. Notable hits: "The Rain, The Park and Other Things"; "Indian Lake"; "Hair."
Cowsills probably don't qualify for this topic, due to established guidelines, but I'll post a clip anyway for reference.
That second sample, if I didn't know who performed it prior to hearing it, I'd swear that's a long-lost John recording.
I just learned another son, Patrick, is (or was) also in entertainment.
She only found out she was pregnant with him after filming for The Music Man had already started.
It continues to amuse me that D**k is auto-censored on CF. If I didn't know about that quirk, I would've interpreted your comment as "F**k Van Dyke's brother."
