Reading the recent posting regarding remaining top of the pops editions/clips, one of them mentioned one of my favorite soul band of the era "the chairman of the board featuring General Johnson" they are one band who had half a dozen hits or so but there is virtually no attainable footage, bar one grainy clip of a promo film on a beach. I don't know if they ever did the pops,
Can anyone point me in the right direction
Unfortunately, all of the Chairmen of the Board's TOTP appearances and promo film were wiped
, and despite my searches, I can't find any existing outside the BBC (hopefully there are some out there), but here is a list of their appearances, preceded by a Megamix that may be of interest.
There is, however, an existing recording at the BBC of Pan's People dancing to Everything's Tuesday, a very underrated and rarely heard song that I first heard on Radio Luxembourg in the 1980s.
uk.youtube.com/watch?v=i474MY5IjLQ - And here's a Chairmen of the Board Mega Hitmix, of Loverboy (I'd never heard that song before), Everything's Tuesday, Give Me Just a Little More Time and You've Got Me Dangling on a String, which may be of interest. I wish I could post or knew where to direct you to links, but hopefully one or more of the others own or can direct you to links of this excellent group, who I see are still performing today!
