Lester

73 year old legend, Lester Chambers, who I might add is an old friend of the family was viciously attacked on stage at the California Hayward-Russell City Blues Festival on Saturday a few hours before the Trayvon Martin Murder trial verdict was announced by a 43 year old crazed gun freak conservative white power Skank, Dinalynn Andrews Potter who assaulted him using martial arts move to stop his performance of the Curtis Mayfield classic, People Get Ready. He had dedicated it to Trayvon Martin. Potter bruised his ribs, kicked him in the kidneys and caused nerve damage to suppress his free speech and express her hate. Is this the violence that FOX NEWS was predicting over the Trayvon Martin verdict? 

The lead in video is Lester's Kick Starter project for his next recoding. Let's make it happen, follow the link, give him a few bucks. Lester Chambers is one of the big voices of American music! Do you remember the band he had in the 1960's with his Brothers?  The Chambers Brothers? If there ever was a band that crossed over at the right time, they were the guys. They could do it all. Tight soul R&B, Gospel and then generating one of the high water moments of mid 60's Rock, the psychedelic trip that was Time Has Come Today...and it was the voice of Lester Chambers that fueled it!

Lester will be back singing louder than ever. I truly believe it and he will never let us forget that

  TIME HAS COME TODAY! 

One more video, this is an interview with Lester Chambers in which he describes the incident. He mentions that Miss Potter wasn't even held, but charged with assault and released.It's all too easy to imagine what would have happened if the racial roles were reversed!
