Each of the six family members in the group adds his own individual touch to the musical sound and personality. The head of the family, and the only non-singer, Bud, serves as producer and supervisor. Barbara, the mother, and son Bob lead the group. Barry plays bass, John does the drum work, Paul plays the organ, and young Susan is a vocalist. Two other family members, formerly in the group, are Dick, now serving in Vietnam, and Bill, now married and producing records on his own.
