The Stewarts are back with R&B-funk-Motown gospel single “Stand.”

The brothers come from a musical family and detail their connection to the industry in the interview with WorldWide Entertainment TV. They reveal that Johnny Hodges, who played sax for Duke Ellington, was a cousin of theirs. Corinne Hodges who birthed the brothers, sang gospel with the legendary Sam Cooke.

Del and Garry were introduced to Motown’s Howard Davis by another cousin, Luther Bond of Luther Bond and the Emeralds. Another Motown connection with the brothers includes the iconic Jackson 5 single “I’ll Be There” songwriter had the duo audition for them. From their meeting with Hal Davis, the brothers were able to network with other musical giants of the day such as Gregory Hines and Huey Lewis & The News.

THE NEW SINGLE STAND

They are working on other songs, including an EP, but for now the focus is on promoting “Stand” because, said Del, “the world needs to see the video and listen to the lyrics, and, hopefully, we can captivate a different type of audience.”

“This is a song for everyone, from the young to the old,” said Garry. “You can be 8 years
old and get something from this song.”

“We want the listener to enjoy the song. The beat hopefully would capture the attention,
but the lyrics would also capture the attention as well, because we were writing the song
so that it’s uplifting,” said Del.
