General Johnson 'Can't Nobody Love me Like you Do' 1977

General Norman Johnson (May 23, 1941 – October 13, 2010) was the front man of Chairmen of the Board and an American rhythm and blues songwriter and record producer.

 

Chairmen of the Board's popularity diminished in the middle of the 1970's, although Johnson and Woods remained together re-billed as the Chairmen. Johnson tried a solo career again in 1976, and his début solo album on Arista Records was a modest success. He teamed up again with Woods in the following decade, making a living on the beach music circuit.

 

In 1993, having lost little of his distinctive vocal style, Johnson released another album, 'What Goes Around Comes Around', recorded with Woods.

 

I can't understand why this never reached the UK charts, in fact any of his singles. He has a clear strong Soul voice that connected well with his R & B backing.
