    I was fortunate enough to see, what I believe to be, Chairmen of the board's final UK appearance in a very small club in west London... I even got to sing a few lines with the General after he hauled me onto the stage... Memories that will live with me forever...

    General Johnson and his group played volley ball with our daughter's at the Holiday Inn at North Myrtle Beach back in the 70's...then they allowed us to take the "teens" in to the lounge that night to watch their show. It was the highlight of our vacation!

    Had the pleasure of seeing Chairmen of the Board at the Lexington BBQ Festival some years ago. Also had the opportunity to speak with General, Danny and Ken in their dressing room. Got autographs and spoke to them for about fifteen minutes after their show. Couldn't ask for a better group of fellas, very kind and down to earth! RIP General and Danny.

    One of my best career moments was when General Johnson and Ken Knox came to my gig at the Double Door Inn. This after he had already immortalized my voice by hiring me as a background vocalist on every CD from 1992-2010.
    There aren't words to express how much General and The Chairmen Of The Board have meant to me over the years. I'm blessed to have had the honor of sharing the stage and countless records with them! 😀

Your dad, General Johnson so very blessed with his God given talent throughout his life all those years, touching so many souls and hearts he did. Now watching over, directing as they have and continue to carry on his legacy with Ken Knox, my friend who I adore much and all the others. Bless them all, you Norman and with your dad General Johnson~ R.I.P. 🙏🏻
