Kristy & Jimmy McNichol released an album in 1978 though I don't
know that they are all that famous.

We can't forget The Jackson Five.

No one mentioned the Jackson 5...

I spose you could count the Beach Boys...sure they were more 60s than 70s, but they were siblings (one was their cousin, and another a friend) and they are my favourite group of all time.

This one is 70s/80s ...

Freddie James is the brother of Rozalind Hunt.  Their mother is Geraldine Hunt
All Canadian singers by citizenship, Freddie is best known for the 1979 hit 'Get Up and Boogie' (Top 40 in Canada and the Netherlands) and Rozalind (as a member of the duo Cheri) is best known for the 1982 hit 'Murphy's Law' (Top 40 in the US)


This one is somewhat confusing ...

Bobby, Cecil, Curtis, Harry and Friendly Womack are all famous gospel brothers. 
Here's the confusing part:  Bobby married Barbara Campbell, the widow of Sam Cooke.  Cooke and Campbell's daughter Linda married Cecil (who together had hits as Womack and Womack), which would make Linda the step daughter AND sister-in-law of Bobby

Don't forget Jimmy and Billy Carter...one was the leader of the free world, the other, a hapless drunk.
Remember Billy beer (at least, I believe that's what it was called. I know he had his own beer at one point)?

Oh, and who can forget the Hansen brothers of Slap Shot fame?

In the 70s, there was a singing duo called the Keane Brothers (John and Tom), sons of the legendary label owner/producer Bob Keane.  At age 11 and 12, they became the youngest stars to have their own variety show on TV (which aired on CBS).  Their 1977 single "Sherry" reached US #84 and was a big hit in Canada reaching #25

A book I have says that the Keane Brothers are Canadian, but I can't find other evidence to back that up
