5.0 out of 5 stars Give Him Just A Little More Time, September 23, 2005

This review is from: It Will Stand (Audio CD)

General Johnson, the great lead singer of this fantastic Doo Wop group would enjoy commercial success as lead singer of the late 60's-early 70's era Soul Rock group CHAIRMEN OF THE BOARD with such classic Top 40 Pop-R&B Chart hits as "Give Me Just A little More Time", "Pay To The Piper" and "Chairman Of The Board" among others. General's vocal style was already intact and incredibly rounded out as early as 1961, and one of the most sought after early rock era hits, "IT WILL STAND"[included here], maintains its universal status as one of the most unforgettable anthemic rock and roll tracks ever recorded. "IT WILL STAND" inspires you to jump up, snap your fingers, clap your hands and dance to the music as General Johnson's singing inspires all who hear this rare energized classic slice of "old time rock and roll" to move around. Sweet Soulful Music, indeed! The Showmen's recordings are a hard to find necessity, you won't regret including this Cd in your prized music collection! Ditto for Chairmen Of The Board. It's all right there in General Johnson's hypnotic vocals!

5.0 out of 5 stars Showmen Rule, December 15, 2000

If you loved Otis Day and the Knights in Animal House, you will love this album. Songs like "It Will Stand" and "39-21-40 Shape" are the best examples of Carolina shag partae music on the planet. Great dancing, and sing-a-long soul music. They are still playing small clubs in the south east, if you have an opportunity to catch them don't miss it, if you want your Frat party to rule, book them.

This group is classic. I recently saw "The Shag" and had to track down "It will stand." Never mind that the label didn't get it. It's magic.
