Osborne Brothers (Bobby and Sonny Osborne) on ‘The Wilburn Brothers Show,’ 1967

This 1967 video clip from “The Wilburn Brothers Show” features a performance from the Osborne Brothers, Bobby and Sonny Osborne, highlighting Sonny’s banjo and vocal skills and how they blended with his brother Bobby. In 1953, Sonny Osborne—whose command of the high-speed, finger-rolling banjo style of Earl Scruggs made him a top player in his field from the start—formed the Osborne Brothers with his mandolin-playing older brother Bobby. Together the Osbornes created a groundbreaking style of trio vocal harmonies with Bobby’s soaring high-tenor on top, Sonny’s strong high-baritone in the middle, and a low tenor providing the bottom. Watch the Osborne Brothers perform on “The Wilburn Brothers Show” here.
