The Wilburn Brothers got their start singing on street corners in rural Arkansas during the great depression. They first became regulars on the Grand Ole Opry in 1940 by invitation of Roy Acuff. After a few months, Child Labor laws forced them back to their native Arkansas where they continued honing their craft by traveling throughout the southern region. By the late 1940's they were invited as regulars on the Louisiana Hayride in Shreveport, Louisiana. After stints in the Army, the brothers eventually migrated to Nashville in the early 1950s where they joined Webb Peirce's band. That union led to them signing with Decca Records. After a stint with Faron Young, they joined the Grand Ole Opry in 1956 and began having success on the record charts. By 1957, the brothers had begun successful management and publishing companies that fostered the careers of many of country music's top performers and songwriters. In 1961, a young Kentucky native by the name of Loretta Lynn walked into their offices in downtown Nashville leading to one of country music's most successful unions. Loretta went on to become one of biggest stars of country music for the next two decades, winning numerous accolades. In 1963, the Wilburns starred in their own television show along with Loretta, Harold Morrison, and Don Helms that aired until 1974. Teddy Wilburn disbanded the duo in 1968 to pursue a career in Hollywood, all the time continuing to fulfill his obligations with their management and publishing companies in Nashville. After reuniting in the mid-1970s Doyle succumbed to cancer in 1982, ending one of the most successful duos in country music history.
