Biography
The Wilburn Brothers, consisting of Virgil Doyle Wilburn and Thurman Theodore "Teddy" Wilburn, were an American country music duo from Hardy, Arkansas. The brothers began performing as child artists in 1937 under the name the Wilburn Children. They gained early recognition when Roy Acuff brought them to the Grand Ole Opry in 1940. After serving in the US Army during the Korean War, they resumed their career as the Wilburn Brothers in 1953, touring with Faron Young and Webb Pierce. They signed with Decca Records in May 1954 and released their first hit record that same year backing Webb Pierce on "Sparkling Brown Eyes". Notable hits include "Go Away With Me" (1956), "Which One Is To Blame" (1959), "Trouble's Back In Town" (1962). The Wilburn Brothers also formed the Sure-Fire Music Publishing Company in 1957. Their syndicated television program, The Wilburn Brothers Show, aired from 1963 to 1974. Virgil Doyle Wilburn passed away on October 16, 1982, due to lung cancer, while Teddy continued as a solo artist until his death on November 24, 2003, from congestive heart failure.
