Product Description
Every great band deserves a great name. Every great band makes records unique to them. This is a fundamental law and the Chairmen Of The Board easily fulfil it. In the late ‘60s and early '70s, they made music as good as anything else around, fusing soul, gospel, pop and funk into a compelling sound, a music that was characterized by its richness, its inventiveness and the striking vocal tones of their front man, General Johnson, one of the decade’s great singers.
• A fine 2CD collection of the greatest work from this soulful early 70s creation of Holland/Dozier/Holland.
• Features the hit title song “Give Me Just A Little More Time” (UK # 3, US # 3, and also a # 2 hit for Kylie Minogue in 1992) and “You Got Me Dangling On A String” (UK # 5).
• The perfect concise follow-on to the reissue of the full catalogue from Demon Edsel in Summer 2009.
• Compilation and sleeve notes by journalist and music biographer Paolo Hewitt.CD 11 Give Me Just A Little More Time
