Just heard about Pop's passing. He was truly the anchor of the band and just the sweetest soul. He and the brothers would sometimes stay at my parents' house in Boston in the early/mid 60s when they played in the area. I was just 4-5 years old, but remember him vividly. He told of how envious he was when 'baby Joseph' came in the room one morning with a deep beautiful bass voice and George skolded him and said 'I wanted to be the bass in the family'. So he played the bass in stead.

George Chambers was a great mentor and inspiration to me in my drumming career. He told me the best he ever heard me play was with his Preacher brother on keyboards on a Gospel tune in Los Angeles in 1980. George told me he enjoyed me playing drums with his brothers at The Hollywood Bowl "No Nukes Concert" with Bruce Springsteen, Bonnie Rait, and Jackson Browne. I will surely miss him as a great friend and talent! Lee Szymborski

Pops you will be missed!! You and your brothers have given me a life time of great music and memories! I was a young boy living in Stamford Ct many years ago, I would stop by the house many times and I always felt at home! Was at there .... at the Fillmore at carnage hall ... the shows in Central Park. Lots of great shows! No one till this day can match the power of the chambers brothers. You gave the world love peace and happiness!!! Your home now! I bet theres a thrill on the hill. Rip my friend
