The three brothers Richard, Peter and Clive joined a skiffle group called "The Fabulous Five", before establishing a group in 1960 called "The Saints."
In 1972, the brothers recorded an album named "The Sarstedt Brothers, Worlds Apart Together." On 20 June 1973, the brothers made their first joint appearance as a group, at Fairfield Halls in Croydon. Eden, Peter and Robin went on to win a joint BASCA Award for composing and songwriting.
In the statistics of British Pop history, studied and analyzed by chart academics, The Sarstedt Brothers are unique in one distinct aspect, they’re the only sibling trio to rack up separate solo hits independent of each other. There have been dynasties, Frank and Nancy Sinatra. John and Julian Lennon. While the Osmonds and the Jacksons – two brothers and a sister each with solo hits, come close to the Sarstedt achievement, as do the Gibbs – of whom Andy and Robin have hit as soloists while Barry has charted in partnership with Barbra Streisand. But no family has yet quite matched the Sarstedt record of three separate career arcs across different periods of Pop History.
