When the oldest boys were knee-high, their father recognized their talents for making up songs and harmonies, without any formal instruction. As a gifted musician himself, Arnold Knudsen sat his boys down at the old family piano and began teaching them some of his favorite gospel hymns. In no time at all the boys were performing in church, talent contests, rotary clubs, and fairs; amazing their audiences with their easy harmonies. Their first big break came with a national television spot on the Donnie and Marie Show in 1978.
