James & Michael Younger, recognized as The Younger Brothers, were a country music duo from Edinburg, Texas, consisting of siblings James and Michael Williams.
History
At the outset of their musical journey, the Williams brothers released the pop track "When I Think of You" under the name James & Michael in 1977. The song, penned by James, gained modest attention after being covered by Leif Garrett in 1979.
Their debut album, titled James & Michael Younger, was issued by MCA Records in 1983. The album's leading single, "Nothing but the Radio On," climbed into the Top 20 on the Billboard Hot Country Singles chart during 1982. Though critics commended the duo's vocal harmonies, opinions were mixed regarding the album’s limited range of tempos. Following their departure from MCA, they released a number of singles through Permian and AIR labels before disbanding in 1986.
