Buchanan Brothers

The Buchanan Brothers were an American pop trio active in the 1960s, known for their catchy melodies and vocal harmonies. Comprising brothers Rex and Mel Buchanan, along with Tom Garcia, the group achieved fame with their hit single “Son of a Lovin’ Man.” Their music, characterized by upbeat tempos and sing-along choruses, captured the optimistic spirit of the era and found a place on radio charts.

Although their time in the spotlight was relatively brief, the Buchanan Brothers made a lasting impact with their few successful recordings. “Son of a Lovin’ Man” became a recognizable tune of its time, and the group’s harmonies and songwriting have been appreciated by music historians as a snapshot of 1960s pop.
