Detailed Description Containing Key Facts: "Finder's Keepers" is a classic track by Chairmen of the Board, an American soul music group formed in Detroit in 1969. They were one of the flagship acts for Holland–Dozier–Holland's Invictus Records label after the trio left Motown. The song features General Johnson's distinctive lead vocals, which are smooth yet powerful, delivering lyrics about love and possession. It's characterized by a lush, sophisticated arrangement typical of early 1970s Detroit soul, blending Motown's pop sensibility with a slightly funkier, more expansive sound. The track often includes a prominent bassline, tight rhythm guitar, and full horn and string sections, creating a rich sonic tapestry. "Finder's Keepers" is a great example of the group's ability to craft infectious, radio-friendly soul that was both catchy and musically substantial, making them a key part of the post-Motown Detroit sound
