Another Reason Why You Should Download As Much Music As You Want!

This is from Lester Chambers, from the Chambers Brothers.

The money seldom gets to the artists, but this is total fraud.

The Chambers Brothers is a soul-music group, best known for its 1968 hit record, the 11-minute long song “Time Has Come Today”. The group was part of the wave of new music that integrated American blues and gospel traditions with modern psychedelic and rock elements. Based on their Southern roots, the brothers brought a raw authenticity to their recordings and live performances that was missing from many other acts of that era. Their music has been kept alive through heavy use in film soundtracks.
The Chambers Brothers first honed their skills as members of the choir in their Baptist church. This set up ended in 1952 when older brother George was drafted into the army. After his discharge George moved to Los Angeles. The other Chambers brothers soon settled there as well. As a foursome, they began performing gospel and folk throughout the Southern California region in 1954, but they more or less remained unknown until appearing in New York City in 1965.[1] Also in 1965, Brian Keenan joined the group as their drummer. Brian’s eerie drumming on “Time Has Come Today” was one of the elements of success of that hit.
