Washington, D.C., bandleader, performing artist, and songster Chuck Brown has been a large figure on the city's go-go shot since the late '70s. Brown & the Soul Searchers stimulate too been nonpareil of the uncommon go-go acts to advance national tending, even though it was transient. The Soul Searchers included trombonist/keyboardist John "JB" Buchanan, trumpeter swan Donald Tillery, saxophonist/flutist Leroy Fleming, bassist Jerry Wilder, percussionist Gregory Gerran, organist Curtis Johnson, keyboardist Skip Fennell, drummer Ricardo Wellman, and guitar player LeRon Young. They vaulted into the spot with "Busting Loose," the big top R&B single for four serial weeks at the conclusion of 1978. Its fabulous arrangement; exuberant horn work; and stunning, crisp vocals made the ring momentary celebrities. But the followup, "Secret plan Seven," flopped, and they were shortly back on the go-go circuit. They had one more flirtation with the spotlight in 1984, as the single "We Need Some Money (Bout Money)" reached number 26 amid predictions that go-go was ready to explode into the mainstream. It didn't happen, but Brown remained active. He tried once again in 1991 with '90s Goin' Hard for Goff. A documental on the Washington, D.C., go-go aspect appeared in 2002 and conspicuously featured Brown and his music.
