When you think about 1969 San Francisco Haight Ashbury psychedelic hippie bands, the names that immediately come to mind are Jefferson Airplane, The Grateful Dead, Quicksilver Messenger Service, and Big Brother And The Holding Company, but there were so many more bands than that, and one of them was The Sons Of Champlin.
Unlike the more prominent groups, The Sons Of Champlin featured a horn section, but they never got the recognition or the kudus that bands in a different part of the country, like Blood, Sweat, & Tears, or Chicago Transit Authority, aka Chicago, received.
As fate would have it, Bill Champlin, the singer for The Sons Of Champlin ended up being the lead vocalist for Chicago in 1981 for three decades.
