Nolan Chance, born Charles Davis in Louisiana in 1939, was a prominent figure in Chicago's R&B scene. Raised in Chicago from the early 1940s, he began his musical journey in high school, forming an R&B vocal group that opened for Freddie King. Throughout the 1960s, Chance contributed to several groups, including the Trinidads, Turbo Jets, Dukays, and Artistics. In 1964, under the name Nolan Chance, he released "She's Gone" on the Constellation label, gaining local acclaim. His 1965 single "Just Like the Weather" became a Northern Soul classic in the UK. Despite his talent, Chance faced challenges with record labels, leading to a brief hiatus before returning in the late 1960s with "I'll Never Forget You" on the Curtom label. His soulful ballads and dynamic performances left a lasting impact on the R&B genre. ([music.apple.com](https://music.apple.com/us/artist/nolan-chance/164251452?utm_source=openai))
