1) A British rock band (1967 - 1973)
2) A disco group signed to New York Salsoul Records (1970's-1980's)
3) A Spanish indie pop band (1991 - 1993)
1) Family was British rock band from Leicester, England, active between 1967-1973. Their music has been described as a masterful blend of Blues-Rock, Prog-Rock, Art Rock and Psychedelia.
Family's debut single "Scene Through The Eye Of A Lens/Gypsy Woman" was released by Liberty in the autumn of 1967. While the single received praise from critics, it received very little airplay, due to its rather complex, uncommercial nature. Family's debut album, Music in a Doll's House, was released in July 1968 and it was produced by Traffic's Dave Mason and Jimmy Miller on a 4-track machine at Olympic Studios, London. The band's line-up: Roger Chapman (vocals/harmonica/tenor saxophone), Charlie Whitney (guitars/vocals), Rick Grech (bass/violin/cello/vocals), Rob Townsend (drums/percussion), and Jim King saxophone/flute/harmonica/vocals). Bandleader Tubby Hayes and his brass section played on "Old Songs New Songs". An extraordinarily ambitious album, 'Music In A Doll's House' marked an audacious beginning of what was a rather mixed career for Family. Many of the sounds conjured up in the studio had never been heard before - more incredible given that the album was created on a 4-track. The band's ability clearly transcended the available technology. Chapman's unusual vibrating delivery did not appeal to everyone, but it's a remarkable voice all the same. The musicianship and the unusual arrangements on this album found favour with fans who regarded it as a rather surreal musical feast. Music In A Doll's House is a truly innovative album and years ahead of it's time. The album charted respectably in the UK (reaching No. 35 in the UK album charts) and received considerable airplay from well-known British radio personality John Peel. It did not chart in the US. Interestingly, Mike Batt got his first big break in record production on this album by arranging "Mellowing Grey".
Family's 1969 follow-up, Family Entertainment, toned down the psychedelics of their previous offering, and featured their first UK hit "The Weaver's Answer." For the 1970 release A Song For Me, they developed a more aggressive sound, gaining them a larger European following. That year they played at several major rock festivals including the Isle Of Wight music festival and Holland's Kralingen Festival. Both of which were included in the documentary films Message To Love and Stomping Ground. The next release, Anyway, featured a side of a live performance of new material at Fairfield Hall in Croydon, England, as well as a side of new studio recordings.
The bar was raised in 1971 with Fearless, but the band's biggest success was yet to come, in 1972's Bandstand, featuring hits "Burlesque" and "My Friend the Sun". This was followed by the underrated but enjoyable It's Only a Movie, where the band's sound was augmented by Tony Ashton of Ashton Gardner and Dyke on piano.
Family disbanded in 1973 and former members went on to play in the bands King Crimson, the Streetwalkers and Stud.
2) Family were a disco group who formed in the 1970's and released the single 'Music (Listen To The Music)', on the Salsoul label which was later re-released on the Suss'd 2007 compilation 'Deep Disco Culture Vol. 2'.
3) Family was a Spanish indie band active 1991-1993 formed by Javier Aramburu and Iรฑaki Gametxogoikoetxea. They released just one album in 1993 titled Un soplo en el corazรณn," a tribute to the film by Louis Malle. In 2003 Spanish magazine Rockdelux released an album with the same songs played by other Spanish bands to celebrate 10 years from probably one of the best Spanish albums of 90's.

It's a family affair
It's a family affair
It's a family affair
One child grows up to be
Somebody that just loves to learn
And another child grows up to be
Mom loves the both of them
You see, it's in the blood
Both kids are good to mom
Blood's thicker than the mud
It's a family affair
It's a family affair
It's a family affair
It's a family affair
Over there, over there
Newlywed a year ago
But you're still checking each other out, hey
Nobody wants to blow
Nobody wants to be left out, uh huh
You can't leave, 'cause your heart is there
But, sure, you can't stay, 'cause you been somewhere else
You can't cry 'cause you'll look broke down
But you're cryin' anyway 'cause you're all broke down
It's a family affair
It's a family affair
It's a family affair
It's a family affair
Oh, hey, a family affair
It's a family affair
It's a family affair
It's a family affair (oh)
It's a family affair
It's a family affair
It's a family affair
It's a family affair
It's a family affair
It's a family affair
The song โFamily Affairโ by the band Family (released in 1971) is an interesting exploration of the complexities of family relationships. The opening lines of the song, โItโs a family affair, itโs a family affair, itโs a family affair, itโs a family affairโ emphasize the theme of family that runs throughout the song. The lyrics then go on to describe the different members of the family: โone child grows up to be somebody that just loves to learn, and another child grows up to be somebody youโd just love to burn.โ These lines suggest that there are different personality types within a family, and that sometimes family members clash with each other.
Despite any conflicts or differences between family members, the song suggests that family ties are still strong. โMom loves both of them, you see itโs in the blood,โ the lyrics state, and โboth kids are good to mom, bloodโs thicker than the mud.โ This passage suggests that despite any difficulties, family members still have love for each other, and that their shared blood ties are stronger than any external forces that may threaten to pull them apart.
The song then shifts away from describing siblings and onto the topic of a married couple that has been together for a year. The lyrics suggest that while the couple may still be figuring each other out, they are both afraid of being left out. The song concludes with the repeated refrain that โitโs a family affair,โ emphasizing that, no matter what happens, the family remains central in the lives of all the individuals described in the song.

Yeah
Letโs take em back
Uh-huh
I need a real love, Mary holla at me if you need a real thug
We could ride through Compton to see real bloods, real crips,
And imma always hold you down that's real oh shit
I'm the Los Angeles King and you remind me of Mary the R&B Queen
I got the 411 what's crackin' what I owe you for helping me go 4 times platinum
I had a kid to my life he's almost 2, I guess what I'm tryin' to say
Is thank you, for over ten years in the ghetto gospel
You paved the way for young black women of prosper
How you paint pictures
You deserve Grammies and Oscars
Congratulation from me Aftermath and the DR
So you could go ahead envy me
I'm Billboards top ten featuring 'MJB'
'91 I stepped in this game
After 'what's the 411' things ain't been the same
And I can't complain but with all this fame comes a whole lot of pain
But I'm so glad to be here
And my music's still sincere
Letโs get back to the story
All of this pain and glory
And '94 was my life and my life wasn't right
So I reached out to you and told you what I been through
[Chorus]
Hate it or love it,
(The underdogs on top)
And Iโm gonna shine
(Homie until my heart stops)
Go 'head envy me
I'm the soul hip-hop queen
And I ain't going nowhere
But you already know me
Hate it or love it,
(The underdogs on top)
And Iโm gonna shine
(Homie until my heart stops)
Go 'head envy me
I'm the soul hip-hop queen
And I ain't going nowhere
But you already know me
I came with 'share my world'
But at that point I was just a foolish girl
Trying to find my way
Then I dropped the 'Mary' album
And people were saying that, itโs just not gonna work
And my feelings they did hurt
But my fans showed me so much love
And I owe it all to them
And I came with 'No More Drama'
I remember that year
It was when Aaliyah died I couldnโt hardly sleep
Thought about it everyday and it made me change my way
I'm a real woman now because of all of these days
[Chorus]
Hate it or love it
(The underdogs on top)
And Iโm gonna shine
(Homie until my heart stops)
Go 'head envy me
I'm the soul hip-hop queen
And I ain't going nowhere
But you already know me
Hate it or love it
(The underdogs on top)
And Iโm gonna shine
(Homie until my heart stops)
Go 'head envy me
I'm the soul hip-hop queen
And I ain't going nowhere
But you already know me
You remind me
Of a real love
(You don't have to worry)
Real love
All night long
I'm going down
Dodododo dah dodododo dah
Reminice on the love we have
You are everything but without it baby
What you gonna do without
My life, my life, my life
[Chorus]
Hate it or love it,
(The underdogs on top)
And Iโm gonna shine
(Homie until my heart stops)
Go 'head envy me
I'm the soul hip-hop queen
And I ain't going nowhere
But you already know me
Hate it or love it,
(The underdogs on top)
And Iโm gonna shine
(Homie until my heart stops)
Go 'head envy me
I'm the soul hip-hop queen
And I ain't going nowhere
But you already know me
Hate it or love it
And Iโm gonna, gonna shine
Hey, hey, hey eh eh eh eh
Right now I just want to thank
Dr. Dre
Hate it or love it
Aftermath's on Top
And The Game for picking such a hot record
I thank y'all
Nah baby we thank you!
Shoot out to
Cool and DRE
For making a track
Thatโs hot, whoo!

A #1 hit for Mary J. Blige on the Rhythm & Blues charts. It was the 885th #1 R&B song of the Rock Era. We prepare to say goodbye to 2001 and prepare to welcome in 2002. What will the R&B scene be like in the upcoming year? Stay tuned.
