Chairmen of the Board is an American, Detroit, Michigan-based soul group, mainly active in the 1970s and 1980s.Their single, "Give Me Just a Little More Time" was released in December 1969, reaching number three on the US Billboard Hot 100, with one million sales confirmed in May 1970, when the group were presented with a gold record by the R.I.A.A. Chairmen of the Board also charted with "(You've Got Me) Dangling on a String", "Everything's Tuesday", "Pay to the Piper", "Finders Keepers" and (in the UK) "Working on a Building of Love" and "Elmo James". They also recorded the original version of "Patches", co-written by Johnson, which became a 1970 hit for Clarence Carter. The song received a Grammy Award in 1971. In 1976 Johnson signed for Arista Records as a solo artist. In 1978, Johnson reformed the Chairmen of the Board along with Danny Woods and Ken Knox. In 1980, the new Chairmen founded Surfside Records, an independent record label based in Charlotte, North Carolina. The Chairmen of the Board were inducted into the North Carolina Music Hall of Fame in 1999.
