Biography

Washington, D.C., bandleader, performer, and songwriter Chuck Dark brown was a prominent body in the city’s go-go picture. Chuck Dark brown & the Spirit Searchers had been also among the uncommon go-go acts to get national attention, despite the fact that these were short-lived. The Spirit Searchers included trombonist/keyboardist John “JB” Buchanan, trumpeter Donald Tillery, saxophonist/flutist Leroy Fleming, bassist Jerry Wilder, percussionist Gregory Gerran, organist Curtis Johnson, keyboardist Neglect Fennell, drummer Ricardo Wellman, and guitarist LeRon Youthful. They vaulted in to the limelight with “Bustin’ Loose,” the very best R&B one for four consecutive weeks by the end of 1978. Its fantastic agreement, exuberant horn function, and arresting, terse vocals produced Dark brown & the Spirit Searchers momentary superstars. However the follow-up, “Video game Seven,” flopped, plus they had been soon back in the go-go circuit. That they had yet another flirtation using the limelight in 1984, because the one “WE ARE IN NEED OF SOME CASH (Bout Cash)” reached amount 26 amid predictions that go-go was prepared to explode in to the mainstream. It didn’t happen, but Dark brown remained energetic. He tried once again in 1991 with 90’s Goin’ Hard for Goff. A documentary in the Washington, D.C., go-go picture made an appearance in 2002 and prominently highlighted Dark brown and his music. After getting hospitalized for pneumonia, Dark brown passed away at Baltimore’s Johns Hopkins School Hospital on, may 16, 2012; he was 75 yrs . old. A posthumous record, Beautiful Lifestyle, was released in 2014 with performances from Beliefs Evans, Raheem DeVaughn, Wale, and go-go stalwarts Glucose Keep (of E.U.) and Ms. Yendy.
