Enchantment is a soul/R&B band formed in Detroit, Michigan by Emanuel "EJ" Johnson, Joe "Jobie" Thomas, Bobby Green, Edgar "Mickey" Clanton, and David Banks. They are best known for their mid-1970s hits, "Gloria", "Sunshine" and "It's You That I Need".
Enchantment was formed in the late 1960s at Detroit's Pershing High School,[1] with the visually impaired Emanuel "EJ" Johnson as their lead singer.[2] In 1971, Enchantment came to the attention of Dick Scott, a former Motown executive who headed his own artist development company, Artists International.[1] In 1973, they formed an alliance with Michael Stokes, producer of Creative Source's hit, "Who Is He (And What Is He To You)".
By 1980, Roadshow had folded as a label, and Enchantment signed with RCA Records, where they recorded their fourth album, Soft Lights, Sweet Music, with top R&B producer, Don Davis. Both singles released charted at No. 47 on the 1981 charts. In 1982, they signed with Columbia Records and released two more albums; Enchanted Lady (1982) and Utopia (1984). By the end of the 1980s, the rise of funk and rap put a virtual end to ballad groups. All three albums barely dented the charts.
In 2003, Enchantment released "God Bless America", in honor of troops fighting in Iraq. Proceeds from the single benefited the United Way. Jobie Thomas later left the group and formed his own group known as Enchantment featuring Jobie Thomas.
