About The artist
The Carthage, Mississippi natives got their start singing in church choirs. Like Sly and the Family Stone, The Chambers Brothers were an interracial band (their drummer, Brian Keenan, was white) whose sound included elements of gospel, blues, rock, soul and funk. They started performing professionally in 1954 and achieved mainstream success in 1967 with their psychedelic soul epic “The Time Has Come Today.”
