The Resume

    General Johnson - vocals

    Ken Knox - vocals
    Best known for their single ‘Give Me Just a Little More Time’
    Albums include ‘The Chairmen of the Board (1970)’ and ‘Skin I’m In (1974)’

Why they might be annoying:

    Their name was a rip-off of Frank Sinatra’s nickname.
    Their lead singer called himself ‘General.’
    ‘Give Me Just a Little More Time’ is full of stutters and weird vocal tics (‘Brr!’). The song only made it to #3 on the pop charts.
    The group never had another song make it to the top 35.

Why they might not be annoying:

    They continued to rank on the R&B charts even as their pop success declined.
    General Johnson went on to a long solo and producing career.
    They reunited in the 1980’s and continue to play occasional shows in North Carolina.
    Cancer survivor Kylie Minogue covered ‘Give Me Just a Little More Time.’
