It isn't the Bee Gees. I am going to guess her, I think this is wrong. But is it Nelson?

You have Ricky the father, Matthew and Gunner, and I think their grandfather was also a musician in the 50's or something like that? In fact weren't their grandparents Ozzy and Harriet?

Frank,

You are actually correct

The Nelson family are listed in the Guinness Book of World Records as the only family to reach number one record status on the Pop Charts in three successive generations.

Ozzie Nelson and His Orchestra (Harriet Hilliard, the future Harriet Nelson, was also in the orchestra)
And The Some #1 1935

Ricky Nelson
Poor Little Fool #1 1958

Travelin' Man #1 1961

NELSON (Matthew and Gunnar Nelson - Ricky's sons)
(Can't Live Without Your) Love and Affection - #1 1990
