Ageless Chuck Brown 'Go Go's GOD 'father'!
God - 'father' when it come to Go Go Chuck Brown these days he is it. In fact Chuck has been the Go Go God 'father' for over thirty years....
Go Go runs in the locals veins. And if you spent two days about town you to will experience Go Go. Been to the MCI Center lately or one of the city's many festival Go Go was there.  And if you were lucky enough to be around for the last act at this years 'Taste of DC'  you experienced Go Go at it best, from Go Go's God 'father', Chuck Brown...

Go Go is a style well suited to DC's ease - laid back sophisticated style. Here's how Chuck Puts it "Disco was to fast people didn't want to get all sweaty, and they just sat down. So we cut the beat in half".

'We the People' hit the airways in 1971, followed in 1978 by the gold album 'Bustin Loose' with the #1 hit single 'Bustin Loose. God 'father'  Brown was on a roll other hits followed 'Be Bumpin 'Fresh', 'Run Joe', 'Day-O',  'Back it On Up',  'We Need Some Money'....  Keep on rollin Chuck..

'Ha, wind me up, Chuck....

Then, Chuck did the unthinkable adding Jazz to his repertoire. It seem so radical at the time, but Chuck the visionary knew what he was up to when he released 'Go Go Swing'.  And Chucks work with the late Eva Cassidy is timeless..

It easy to imagine why Chuck Brown has been a staple in DC night for the past Thirty years. For those with doubts click here and see for your self.
