Songs About Holding On And Letting Go

Songs By Family Musical Groups

Okay, so today's theme is a little different than what I've been posting in my music blogs of late, but I think you'll find it to be a refreshing change of pace. All of the artists in this collection have one thing in common: family. Specifically, all of the musical acts represented here have at least two blood relatives in the group. Some are comprised of an entire group of siblings, while others are dynamic duos. This is not intended to be a comprehensive list – you'll notice groups like The Bee Gees and The Osmonds, to name two, are absent – but that's because I've either posted songs by them in the past or because I hate their music (or both).
