The Louvin Brothers

The Louvin Brothers were an influential American country music duo, consisting of brothers Ira and Charlie Louvin, active from 1940 to 1963. They are known for their close harmony singing style and contributions to country, bluegrass, and gospel music, with notable hits like "Cash on the Barrelhead" and "When I Stop Dreaming." Despite achieving significant success, their partnership ended due to Ira's personal struggles, including substance abuse, leading to their breakup in 1963. The duo received acclaim posthumously, including induction into the Country Music Hall of Fame in 2001 and recognition as one of the greatest duos in music history.
