Story
I am a musician and songwriter and release my country rock music under the alias of Mountain Rio.I wrote the song 'Bobby and Jackie' shortly after Jack died as a tribute to both himself and brother Bobby and decided to release it with Mountain Rio.The song was recorded in Nashville.'Bobby and Jackie' appears on the Bobby and Jackie album.The album features a number of versions of the 'Bobby and Jackie' song recorded in different styles.
Both brothers were heroes of mine when I played football as a youngster in East Nothumberland, which is where Bobby and Jackie played football as youngsters.They both played for England in the 1966 World Cup Final, which England won.They were then only the second pair of brothers to play on the winning side in a world cup final and to this day no other brothers have matched that feat.A truely remarkable achievement!
