General Johnson (yes, that’s his real name) put together the Showmen in his home town of Norfolk, VA and scored a Carolina beach music classic with “It Will Stand” in 1961. After years of scuffling, he moved to Detroit where he joined up with the Holland-Dozier-Holland team and formed the Chairmen of the Board for their Invictus label. Johnson wrote “Patches” for Clarence Carter and lots more hits.
