The Faragher Brothers (1978) Open Your Eyes - LOST 70s GEMS

The Faraghers were of more use as studio singers back in the day, but did release a string of white funk RnB albums in the 70s.  While it doesn't age as well as the Bee Gees or ring as authentic, they were the only other acts to perform this type of music other than the Bee Gees and Wild Cherry; i.e a more softer, rocking mainstream brand of funk, not necessarily disco but funk rock.

While often their melodies were catchy, the lyrics were terribly corny except for what should've been a hit single, today's song post called Open Your Eyes. A gem from their extremely mellow third album, it is a common heartfelt plea to a lover but effectively hit home with a killer central hook delivered in their strong falsettos. The full bodied atrue of their high harmonies reminding you why they were in demand session singers in the 70s soul scene, also working on solo albums for part time superheros such as Lynda Carter and ..ahem Peter Criss.
