The Chambers Brothers shattered racial and musical divides to forge an incendiary fusion of funk, gospel, blues, and psychedelia. After forming in the mid-'50s, a well-received appearance at the Newport Folk Festival led to them releasing People Get Ready in 1966. They signed to Columbia for 1967's The Time Has Come, scoring a major hit with "Time Has Come Today," an 11-minute psychedelic soul epic. The follow-up, A New Time - A New Day, yielded another Top 40 hit, a cover of the Otis Redding classic "I Can't Turn You Loose," but subsequent efforts (1969's Love, Peace and Happiness, 1970's Live at Fillmore East) failed to maintain their commercial momentum. Upon completing 1972's Oh My God!, the Chambers Brothers disbanded, only to reunite two years later for 1975's Unbonded. Right Move. .
