Musician. A bassist, he is remembered for being a member of the late 1960s psychedelic-soul band "The Chambers Brothers." They are remembered for their anthemic, Vietnam War era song "Time Has Come Today." Following service with the United States Army during the Korean War, Chambers relocated to California with younger brothers Willie, Lester and Joe and became a part of the 1950s Folk Music scene after drummer Brian Keenan was added. The group hit it big following the recording of an extended version of their earlier song "Time Has Come Today" from their debut album "Time Has Come" (1967). The single "Time Has Come Today" achieved a number 11 placing on the American Pop Charts in 1968 and over the next several decades, the song has remained relevant from several films and TV programs. They experienced an additional Top 40 placing with their cover version of Otis Redding's "I Can't Turn You Loose" which reached number 37 in 1968. The group reunited to perform in 2016.
