Yes, That's the Voice of Greg Brady: TV's Greg Brady can be heard six days a week on SIRIUS. Barry Williams is a new host of SIRIUS Satellite Radio's '70s hit music channel, Totally '70s. Williams, who is best known as Greg Brady, the oldest child in television's sitcom "The Brady Bunch," hosts the commercial-free music channel from 2 to 6 p.m. ET, Sunday through Friday.

TVLand.com calls "The Brady Bunch," which originally aired from 1969 to 1974, "a touchstone of American pop culture and a pure example of classic TV." In 2000, Williams' best-selling book"Growing Up Brady: I Was A Teenage Greg," was turned into a television movie for NBC, which was watched by more than 20 million viewers.

When the 30th anniversary of The Brady Bunch was celebrated in 1999, Williams commemorated the event by recording a pop CD, The Return of Johnny Bravo, on which he recorded such classic pop songs as "Celebrate," "Happy Together," "Hip To Be Square" and "Drift Away." In supporting the CD, he appeared on stages with artists such as Goo Goo Dolls, Smashmouth, Lenny Kravitz and many others.

SIRIUS Totally '70s music channel plays the top pop hits of the 1970s, by such artists as Elton John, Fleetwood Mac, Barry White, The Eagles and Stevie Wonder, among others.
