BIOGRAPHY: Fresh off an amazing
tour of the United Kingdom, as well as having one of their hit songs “Give
Me Just A Little More Time” recently being used in a national TV commercial,
Chairmen of The Board have found a renewed popularity in recent years,
and we’re proud to be representing them! With one of Soul Music's all-time
great group names, the Chairmen of the Board have pleased music lovers
for over 30 years. Formed in Detroit , the Chairmen were one of the first
acts signed by songwriting legends Holland/Dozier/Holland. The group came
out of the box strong in 1970 with the wonderful "Give Me Just A Little
More Time," a classic early 70's radio smash highlighted by lead singer
General Johnson's emotive, plaintive vocals. "Give Me" was the foundation
of the group's excellent debut album, which also featured the infectious
"(You've Got Me) Dangling on a String,".
Over the years, the
Chairmen of the Board were among Soul Music's most consistent hit-makers,
scoring big with "Pay to the Piper," "Finders Keepers," "Chairman of the
Board," and the blissful "Everything's Tuesday." The Chairmen have continued
to record over the years, scoring a surprise hit in Europe in the early
2000's with the joyous "Bless Your Heart," a great tune and performance
that sounds like it was plucked from their early 70s catalog.
Group leader General
Johnson died on October 13, 2010 at age 67. At the request
of General Johnson to keep the group's legacy strong , 38 year member Ken
Knox continues to lead the group touring with members Thomas Hunter and
Brandon Stevens as well as a full 6-piece band. The Chairmen also
released their first single post General Johnson, titled "YOU," to an enthusiastic
fan base worldwide.
In 2015, the
group scored a #5 record on the UK Soul Charts with "Reach Out 2 Me" written
by Thomas Hunter, Ken Knox with Production from famed UK Producer Nigel
Lowis. The past few years, the NFL’s Carolina Panthers have featured
The Chairmen of The Board in a video, as well as Half Time Performances,
and continue to play their music during home games. Chairmen of the Board
are members of the NC Music Hall of Fame.
