Papa Bear And His Cubs were the brainchild of Eddie Disnute Sr., aka Papa Bear. A native resident of Hampton, Arkansas. Eddie started his music career in gospel then transitioned into secular music after moving to Milwaukee, Wisconsin in 1963. While living in Milwaukee with his wife and children, Eddie played with a group called the Fenders but eventually decided to start a group of his own with his kids aptly named Papa Bear And His Cubs.
Eddie Sr., a naturally gifted musician, taught his children how to play music. Creativity is a part of the Disnute DNA and before long Eddie's cubs were perfecting chops of their own. Papa Bear And His Cubs started performing together around the late 1960s. Although a few memorable gigs came their way, Wisconsin proved to be too cold for the Disnutes so they made their way back to Hampton, Arkansas.
The family continued to perform in Arkansas then made another move to Houston, Texas where they hoped to break into the music scene down south. They lived there for nearly three years and even recorded at SugarHill Studios, yet nothing materialized and the recordings remain a mystery to this day. For their final move, the Disnutes returned home to Hampton after Eddie's wife Christine (aka Mother Goose) received word that her father was ill.
In 1975 the group recorded their only vinyl record at Sam Griffith's home recording studio in Camden, Arkansas. Disnute Sr. recalls it only taking "one night, and one take" for both "Sweetest Thing On This Side Of Heaven" and "You're So Fine” to be born. Both songs have an entrancing quality that is inescapable and will surely resonate with listeners for years to come.
The group continued to perform until the early 1980s, at which point the cubs were bears themselves, who decided to go their own separate ways. When thinking back to their prime days, one thing will always remain clear in Eddie Sr.'s memory, "we could play, all it took was a countdown of 1, 2 ,3, 4 and we’re gone”.

Watching Daughters and I heard this song. Nice!❤❤
Daughters on Netflix brought me here ❤ Beautiful Song.
Me too. Looked it up right away when the credits started rolling
Me too ❤
I DID TOO! 😂 after crying 😢 from watching DAUGHTERS! They need a program like that in every state and federal penitentiary. For FATHERS and SONS too! Can anyone tell me HOW to get one started?!! 🙏
me too! havent seen my dad in yrs due to him bring sentenced for 10 yrs. never visited. need a program fs!!
Me too!! Lord I cried the whole movie
I heard this song on Netflix while watching "Daughters." This is the jam!
Such a beautiful and powerful song. Came here after watching Daughters. Showing the importance of the family bond and just being there no matter what. Much love and blessings to all
This beautiful song was played at the end of Daughters, a documentary on Netflix. After hearing I wanted to see if it’s on UA-cam.. so glad I checked.
Same way that I discovered it.
Daughters, bought me here as well!
Me too! I instantly fell in love with it🥰
Who else came to listen after the movie " Daughters"
Me what a song
I did.
That movie was so beautiful and disappointing at the same time
Watching Daughters on Netflix brought me to this song💜❤
Netflix “Daughters” brought me here … such a lovely film and this song makes me cry happy tears ❤
Idk how the hell I found this song but it’s been a great three months knowing this exists 🤣
I love the idea of this song. The fact it's a dad and his kids and they're playing this beautiful instrumental while their dad is singing his blood sweat and tears to their mom. its so sweet
I came across this song from a Spotify radio without knowing this made from this unique family band, but as soon as it came up I'd know there was a kind of warm harmony going across the track. A "sweet thing" going on, if you would call it.
Me too
Hear this while watching "Daughters "
The film Daughters had me seeking this song out. Great film, great music.
My boyfriend sent me here to listen to this song…. He dedicated it to me😭
Marry him
I have 2 daughters 4 boys from my ex wife. Did 9 months in jail last year for a BS text sent to my ex wife.I heard the song randomly on my playlist, saw the comments about Daughters looked at the documentary and saw it was based in DC where I live. Gave me chills. God is good
Bless you and your family, I truly loved the documentary “Daughters “ so good to see men bond with their daughters, my dad was not in my life due to his drug choices not prison but forgiveness is key to eternal life , God is soooooo gooood
@@librafinesse7788
Amen
@@librafinesse7788 DRUG ADDICTION is in a sense a prison. Once you enter into it you are locked in until you fight your way back out! 🤷🏽♀️
❤
I feel grateful to Netflix for showing me this song. Beautiful
Also heard this from watching Daughters on Netflix. Beautiful, soulful song❤
Also bought her after watching Daughters on Netflix. Nice...bless and keep those babies and Dads
The chords on this song are just so damn goooooood
Try googling it.

Waiting for that special someone that burns that fire that this song lights.
can't believe they only released these 2 songs
When you've found the right one, tell her.
This song is fucking awesome
This song is beautiful
I came across this song today on one of my series I'm watching called "Servant" and I loved the melody. I love the fact that it's a family siging this together which is precious. Also it takes back to the 70's melodies, I'm a 70's baby and I can appreciate this music. Made me think of my baby singing this to me ❤😘
Same here!! Beautiful song.
Roots..This is beautiful..almost a forgotten part of history..Thank you for posting this!!✊🏾

Papa Bear and his Cubs from two single that I came across. This family is a very gifted and natural gift from God.
I found both songs on Bandcamp two years ago and to this day i still feel goosebumps every time i listen to them

Wish this group released more music! This song was top of my Spotify wrapped this year.
The description of this video includes a wholesome story.. I hope one day someone can find more recorded stuff from them, this is too good

Not that I can find but I 1000% agree. Love both songs

❤❤❤❤❤❤
I don’t even know how I found this song but it’s all destiny
Where is the album from this family? Where are they now? Do they still play?
Been wondering for awhile now
Wow I jus read the description and a beautiful story God bless
Me too, l love black jazz,black soul cause they dont have competition, am white tho😀
Is there any way I can buy this on vinyl?
Yes, 7" on Discogs is available
I need to slow dance like they did in Dirty Dancing to this song. I have to fall in love to this song.
You easily can, just play it the first time you hold a new baby. This is love for his children.
woo
I mean this shit is just some sunset heroin
where the kids at now
They all are alive and well.
We are all enjoying life. The band was dissolved. Music is still apart of our lives. The band just never got the opportunity to meet the right people at the time. Thank you for your kind words.
@@yvonnedisnute4598 I haven’t stopped listening to these songs since finding them a couple weeks ago. Your father created such a small. charming piece of history. Is there any other songs you guys still have besides this and You’re So Fine?
