Fam-Lee were an R&B band from Plainfield, New Jersey that consisted of the Pearyer brothers: Berkley, Anthony, Keef and Coree. Their late uncle Glen Goins was a member of Bootsy's Rubber Band and P-Funk.
In 1992, the band released their debut album "Runs in the Fam-Lee" on the late Jam Master Jay's record label, JMJ Records. It's unknown how or if the album made the charts.
The first single "Always on My Mind" was released, but didn't appear to make the Billboard charts at all.
The second single "You're the One For Me" peaked at #92 on Billboard's Hot R&B Singles chart, staying on the chart for only 4 weeks.
The last two singles "Love Me" and the title song failed to make the charts at all. After that, it seems as if Fam-Lee faded into obscurity. Nothing much has been heard from them since.

We are still making music. In 1995 we landed another deal with EMI Records. That didn’t work out because EMI sold their Black music department to another company. Then Tony got a solo deal with Warner Bros in 2005. That deal went bottom up as well. We have a 3000 song catalog however chasing deals is very exhausting. Our younger siblings are ramping up to put out a project so be on the lookout.
Peace
