Yes Indeed! Gene Chandler is one of the leading lights of the Soul Era. Among his many hits, my favorites are "Just Be True", "Nothing Can Stop Me" & "Groovy Situation". He also had his own label imprint, Mister Chand, during his stay on Mercury Records in the early '70s.

Yes, sirree! Now HE'D be an excellent Unsung profile.



I Agree with that! Gene Chandler deserves to have an episode of Unsung.

It's funny, I heard so much Gene Chandler growing up, between the radio and my cousins
record collections that I never acquired any of his music to listen to on my own. I have to
fix that..Nothing Can Stop Me....

I Agree with that! Gene Chandler deserves to have an episode of Unsung.

And the beauty of it is that he's still with us and could provide his own point of view. I wonder if TVOne has ever approached him...

I love Gene Chandler's music! I wore out socks doing the "James Brown" to this when I was a kid LOL
