Chanson

Chanson was an American disco studio group active in the late 1970s, led by bassist James Jamerson Jr. and guitarist David Williams. James Jamerson Jr. had established himself as a sought‑after session bassist in the early 1970s, while David Williams had already recorded guitar for prominent acts such as The Jacksons and Madonna. The duo assembled Chanson, taking its name from the French word for song, and released the single "Don't Hold Back" in 1978 under the Ariola label, which reached number 21 in the Billboard Hot 100 chart and number 33 in the UK Singles Chart in 1979.
