They are best known for their mid-1970s songs: "Gloria", "Sunshine" and "It's You That I Need". Enchantment was formed in the late 1960s at Detroit's Pershing High School, with the visually impaired Emanuel "EJ" Johnson as their lead singer. The group obtained their first recording contract in 1969, in addition to $500.00, by winning first place in the radio station WCHB's talent contest. From that moment forward, Enchantment was recognized as one of the "up and coming" local singing groups. By popular demand the group began performing various engagements around the greater Detroit, Michigan, area. In 1971, Enchantment came to the attention of Dick Scott, a former Motown Records executive who headed his own artist development company: Artists International. In 1973, they formed an alliance with music producer Michael Stokes, who produced the R&B vocal group Creative Source's 1974 hit song: "Who Is He (And What Is He To You)" (#21 R&B, #69 Pop). By 1976, Michael Stokes had negotiated a recording deal through his association with Fred Frank, then head of Roadshow Records, who was also guiding the careers of BT Express and Brass Construction. The group recorded the single: "Call On Me", for the 1976 film: Deliver Us From Evil, movie soundtrack. The group then recorded and released the 1976 Disco-oriented single: "Come On And Ride" (#37 Dance, #67 R&B). The group then changed their focus to writing ballads. Their self-titled debut album: Enchantment (1976), contained two singles in that vein which charted well on the music charts: "Sunshine" (#3 R&B, #45 Pop) and "Gloria" (#5 R&B, #25 Pop). The album peaked at #11 on the Billboard R&B Albums chart. The group's second album: Once Upon A Dream, surpassed its predecessor by charting at #8 on the Billboard R&B Albums chart and #46 on the Billboard 200 Album chart. It featured the crossover ballad: "It's You That I Need", which topped the R&B music chart and reached #33 on the Pop music chart. Overall, their attempts to diversify their album sound by appealing to the Disco audience failed, but their song: "If You're Ready (Here It Comes)", reached #14 on the R&B charts. In 1978, Roadshow records ended its distribution agreement with United Artists and formed an alliance with RCA Records. In 1979, Enchantment released their third album: Journey To The Land Of... Enchantment, which was their final recording with Roadshow Records. The album's lead single: "Anyway You Want It", peaked at #38 on the R&B chart, while the album's second single: "Where Do We Go From Here", reached #29 on the R&B chart. The album's third single: "Forever More", failed to chart. The album reached #25 on the Billboard R&B Albums chart. By 1980, Roadshow Records had folded as a record label and Enchantment signed with RCA Records, where they recorded their fourth album: Soft Lights Sweet Music, with top R&B producer Don Davis. The album's lead single: "Settin' It Out", reached #47 on the Dance chart, while the album's second single: "Moment Of Weakness", peaked at #47 on the R&B chart. The album peaked at #65 on the Billboard R&B Albums chart. In 1982, the group signed with Columbia Records and released two more albums: Enchanted Lady (1982) and Utopia (1984). The song: "I Know Your Hot Spot" (#45 R&B), was the only charting single released from their 1982 album. The group's other 1982 singles: "I Can't Forget You" and "Enchanted Lady", failed to chart. The song: "Don't Fight The Feeling", was the only released single to chart from the group's 1984 album. The album's other released single: "Here's Your Chance", failed to chart. Both albums didn't chart on the Billboard R&B Albums chart. By the end of the 1980s, the rise of Funk and Rap music put a virtual end to the 1970s ballad singing groups. The group continued to tour and perform live on stage during the 1990s. In 1999, Emanuel "EJ" Johnson released a solo album: Totally With Me (1999). In 2004, he released a Gospel album: Universal Praise (2004). In 2003, Enchantment released the single: "God Bless America", in honor of troops fighting in Iraq. Proceeds from the single benefited the United Way. Joe "Jobie" Thomas later left the group and has formed his own group known as "Enchantment Featuring Jobie Thomas". The two touring groups of Enchantments' continued to perform live on stage throughout the 2000s and 2010s. In 2024, "Enchantment Featuring Jobie Thomas" along with group members Anthony Thomas, Ollie Bolds, Al Burrus, and Warren Julian, still performs live on stage. In 2024, David Banks also tours as "David Banks Of Enchantment". No info is available on who the other singers in his group are.

The only singer that I know by name is Emanuel Johnson (AKA EJ). He is the lead singer. Also you'll be able to identify him. Because he is the one who is wearing dark glasses. He is also the one who is singing all of the high ( and long) notes. EJ is an amazing singer. Listen to (and react to) Enchantment songs, Gloria, Sunshine and Forevermore. You now have the tools to help you pick out EJ.
Joe "Jobie" Thomas sang the lead vocals on this song. EJ is hitting all the high notes in the song. He's visually impaired thus the glasses to block out bright lights. Gloria, Sunshine and Forever More are three more classic songs by the group. Their albums have a lot of hidden gems on them that didn't get released as singles as well.
@@IceManLikeGervin Thank you for your input. I appreciate the information you provided. I didn't recall the other members names. I too recall that EJ is visually impaired.
The reason that they so smooth because you can hear the lyrics to the song Not Over the iTunes or auto-tune or whatever you can hear the lyrics along with that smooth beat that the music possesses so as the music hit your song the words take your heart because you can hear them not like what is going on today
These were some smooth brothers back in the day. They do have a live version for their song "Gloria" My favorite song by them is "Silly Love Songs"
Too bad people dont sing love songs like this anymore. It makes you want to melt like butter. These songs were in my time.
Baby, Enchanted was the REAL DEAL❤
This another beautiful love song. Love 💘 it.
This one made me feel good whenever I heard it on the radio.

Lyrics 🗒:
Something strange is happening
You don't belong to me anymore
It seems I'm all alone
In my dreams, yeah
I just feel so weak
No one knows the pain I see
And I'm all alone
Now that you're gone
My world is cold
My friends are few
Without you here
My joy seems cruel
When you left
You took part of me
What can I do?
It's you that I need (baby, baby)
It's you that I need (I'm lonely)
It's you that I need, come back
Something's gone in me
You were my life
My mystery, baby
How could you do this to me?
Left me holding on to a memory
I tried
I tried to be good
Take you to a place no others could
I suddenly woke and found you gone
Now I sing my heart to you
Through the words of this song
Something happened to me
You were my life, my destiny
My life will never, ever be complete
Come back to me
It's you that I need (baby, baby)
It's you that I need (I'm lonely, yeah)
It's you that I need (come on)
Come back home
It's you that I need
It's you that I need
It's you that I need right now
It's you that I need, yeah, yeah, oh
It's you (you) that I need, baby (baby)
It's you (you) that I need (baby)
It's you (you) that I need (baby)
It's you (you) that I need
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Baby, baby
It's you that I need
(All I need, baby)
Baby, baby
It's you that I need
(Something's happening, baby)
Baby, baby
It's you that I need
Baby, baby
It's you that I need
(Baby, come see about me, yeah)
Baby, baby
It's you that I need
Baby, baby
It's you that I need

They was a good group they was popular but not as popular as some other groups but was popular and a good group
I told you groups back couldn't be touched
I highly recommend their song “I Can’t Forget You”.
Enchantment and Chapter 8 were competing back in the 70s Chapter 8 is where Anita Baker came from. They were both bad groups.
