The Chairmen of the Board

Released

The first album for ex-Motown songwriters Holland, Dozier and Holland’s flagship new act, ‘The Chairmen of the Board’ is a potent and jubilant ride. Released on HDH’s Invictus label, largely written by Wayne & Dunbar (HDH in disguise) or lead singer Norman ‘General’ Johnson, it’s bold and brassy, high-emotion soul, featuring their biggest hit, their updated take on the HDH Motown sound, ‘Give Me Just A Little More Time’. Likewise ‘You’ve Got Me Dangling On A String’ and ‘Since The Days Of Pigtails’ are faithful Motown recreations that have deservedly become soul perennials. A joyful, emotive debut.
