Post Description
Major Lance (April 4, 1939, ? September 3, 1994) was an American R&B/Northern soul singer. Allmusic journalist, Stephen Thomas Erlewine, states "blessed with a warm, sweet voice, Lance was one of the leading figures of Chicago soul during the 1960s and the top-selling artist for OKeh Records during the decade. During the height of his success, the majority of his songs were written by Curtis Mayfield and produced by Carl Davis, and the pair developed a smooth, Latin-flavored sound that was punctuated by brass and layered with vocal harmonies, usually from The Impressions."
Major Lance was born in Winterville, Mississippi, probably in 1939. (Major Lance was his real name; "Major" was not a nickname or a stage name.) As a child, Lance relocated to Chicago, attending the same school as Curtis Mayfield and Jerry Butler.
In the mid-1950s, Lance formed a group, the Floats, and became a featured dancer on local TV. The Floats broke up before ever recording any material, and Lance went solo.
His 1959 Mercury debut release, "I Got a Girl", was written and produced by Mayfield, but his career did not take off until he signed with OKeh Records in 1962. For almost all of his early work on OKeh, Curtis Mayfield acted as writer and Carl Davis as producer.
After an inital flop single, "Delilah", the Curtis Mayfield-penned "The Monkey Time" (1963), reached number two on the U.S. Billboard R&B chart and number eight on the corresponding pop listings. The Mayfield/Davis/Lance partnership continued with further hits. These included "Hey Little Girl", a Top 15 R&B and pop hit later that year, and "Um, Um, Um, Um, Um, Um", (1964) which reached number five on the pop chart. The latter song also reached number forty in the UK Singles Chart in February 1964.
