The Addrisi Brothers were an American pop duo from Winthrop, Massachusetts. The brothers themselves were Donald "Don" Addrisi (December 14, 1938 - November 13, 1984(1984-11-13) (aged 45)) and Richard "Dick" Addrisi (born (1941-07-04) July 4, 1941).
Biography
Both Don and Dick played parts in their family's acrobatic group, The Flying Addrisis. In the 1950s, they got in touch with Lenny Bruce about starting a singing career and moved to California. They auditioned for parts on the Mickey Mouse Club, but were rejected. Soon after, however, they signed to Del-Fi Records and recorded several singles. Aside from the modest chart hit "Cherrystone" (1959), these were not successes. Further releases from Imperial Records and Warner Bros. Records fared no better, so the pair began working more as songwriters.
Don and Dick's biggest success as a songwriting duo was with "Never My Love", a hit for The Association that they themselves had a hit with in 1977. They also charted several more hit singles in the 1970s. They composed the theme music for the television program Nanny and the Professor. They worked together until Don Addrisi died from pancreatic cancer in 1984.

Addrisi Brothers
by: Addrisi BrothersWe never talk
There was a time when there weren't enough words to say
We never touch
But I remember when I couldn't keep my hands away
The thrill is gone
There's no desire
Girl we've got to feed the fire
We've got to get it on again
Work it out together
Learn to love again
We've got to make a try
Hey Girl we've got to get it on again
Get our act together
Fall in love again
To keep our love alive
We never laugh
We used to know so many happy songs
We never kiss
In the penetrating way that used to turn me on
Once there fire in our lives
Silver sparks that used to fly
We've got to get it on again
Work it out together
Learn to love again
We've got to make a try
Hey Girl we've got to get it on again
Get our act together
Fall in love again
To keep our love alive
Once there was fire in our lives
Silver sparks that used to fly
We've got to get it on again
Work it out together
Learn to love again
We've got to make a try
Hey Girl we've got to get it on again
Get our act together
Fall in love again
To keep our love alive...
