History
Tom and John Keane of Los Angeles, California were the sons of Bob Keane, the founder of Del-Fi Records. After the elder Keane closed his record label, he promoted the boys as a Bubblegum pop band.
The Keane Brothers' first single, "Sherry" (#84) was released in 1976, followed closely by a self-titled debut album in 1977. That summer, John and Tom (aged 11 and 12) reportedly became the youngest people ever to host a prime-time variety television program. The Keane Brothers Show aired on CBS for four weeks in 1977 as a summer replacement for the Wonder Woman show.
Between the years of 1977 and 1982, the brothers released four albums. The second album, Taking Off, was released in 1978 with a disco sound and produced by song writer Lamont Dozier. In 1981, the group added Mark Moulin on guitars and Mike Millwood on bass and shortened its name to Keane. The third album was titled Keane. In 1982, the group released the album Today, Tomorrow And Tonight with Moulin and Jason Scheff on bass. The brothers disbanded the duo and pursued solo careers.
