CHAIRMEN OF THE BOARD BIOGRAPHY 

Ken Knox:  When Ken Knox was 12 years of age, he went to the Motown Revue at the Fox Theater in Detroit with friends and became fascinated by the Music and the “Stars” on the stage such as, The Temptations, The Four Tops, The Supremes, Bobby Taylor and the Vancouver's, Junior Walker, and The All Stars.

After that experience, Ken picked up his brother Leonard's sax and he eventually taught himself how to play that instrument. This led to Knox joining a group called The Impacts and performing in clubs and bars around Detroit. Subsequently, the meeting with Danny Woods from Chairmen of the Board in 1973 which finished up with Ken and his group bringing the House Down with Woods.

Before the chance encounter with Woods, Ken did a short stint touring as a musician with the Detroit Emeralds, and Former Ohio Player— Walter Junie Morrison.

THE CHAIRMEN OF THE BOARD

The Chairmen Of The Board: 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 for their Invictus label following H/D/H's messy divorce from Motown. 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 General Johnson, Danny Woods and Ken Knox 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" and "Carolina Girls On the Beach.”

The Chairmen continued to record with moderate success, 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 70's 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, 40 year member Ken Knox continues to lead the group touring with new members Thomas Hunter and Brandon Stevens and a 6 piece backing band known as The Executives.
Two years later, Swiffer Jet used the group's timeless hit "Give me just a Little More Time" in a popular commercial for the company. The Group also released their first single post General Johnson" YOU" to an enthusiastic Fan Base stateside and across the pond.

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 Carolina Panthers have featured the group in video singing the team’s theme song and a Half Time Performance. The Carolina Panthers continues to play their music during home games.

Chairmen of the Board are members of the North and South Carolina Music Hall of Fame.

Update: Chairmen of the Board finished a Successful two weeks Tour of the UK in September 2016.

Danny Woods, recently died at the age of 73. Our thoughts and prayers are with the Woods' family, friends, band mates, and all those fans who loved him dearly. RIP!
