Tim Bohannon, Managing Partner of The Bohannon Group, crafted his mission statement from four premises.Both of these have to do with the quality of service that we provide our clients.Tim invites you to explore this site, and experience for yourself how this commitment to quality reflects the expertise The Bohannon Group offers its clients.The Bohannon Group 4th Annual Charity Golf Event was held at the Mendakota Country Club in Mendota Heights, MN.Do you have the passion to reach your full potential?Consider joining The Bohannon Group, by becoming a Financial Representative.Northwestern Mutual, Milwaukee, WI.The products and services referenced are offered and sold only by appropriately appointed and licensed entities and Network Representatives.Timothy John Bohannon, General Agent, The Bohannon Group has Financial Representatives that are primarily licensed in Minnesota.Are you ready for financial independence?ARE YOU AN ENTREPRENEUR?Hamilton Bohannon was born on March 7th, 1942 in the small Georgia town of Newnan, about an hour's drive southwest of Atlanta.After high school Bohannon attended Clark Atlanta University where he graduated with a B.He came to the attention of Stevie Wonder, who appointed him drummer in his touring band in 1965.Bohannon relocated to Detroit and worked for Wonder from 1965 to 1967.Over those two years Bohannon's style impressed the hierarchy at Motown Records to such an extent that they made him top bandleader, responsible for live arrangements for all Motown's top acts.When Motown relocated to Los Angeles, Bohannon stayed in Detroit, assembling his own band.Bohannon's career was relatively quiet compared to others that struck disco gold in that period, yet he churned out album after album.Bohannon albums carbon each other: all have shuffling grooves, heavy rhythms, and quality ballads; the only things that change are the personnel and the song titles.Unfortunately, like most Bohannon releases, this one appealed to the hardcore Bohannon fans and didn't find a broader range of fans and buyers.He started Phase II Records in 1980, he also switched to recording under the simpler banner of Bohannon.Perri Johnson, with his 15 minutes of fame, rapping over the instrumental passages.House, techno, and British and European dance was lighter, faster and not as rhythmically heavy as the music that Bohannon championed.Altrinna Grayson's vocals as Bohannon's arrangements.She was a fine singer in the genre, but Bohannon didn't make much impact with this one.Z, DJ Lynnwood, DJ Irene, and Class A Felony to name a few.Efforts to improve human relations invoke everyone.The mission of the San Lorenzo Unified School District's Human Relations committee is to promote interpersonal and intergroup understanding, enhance appreciation and respect for the differences between people, improve communication between the different elements in the school community, and generally make the District more sensitive and responsive to the community it serves.Provide all students access to a challenging comprehensive curriculum where all can succeed.Establish a culture and climate of shared responsibility for ongoing improvement and growth the community it serves.LEP are the categorical funds and services that will be coordinated by the SRC at Bohannon Middle School.The staff students, and parents of Bohannon will work together to support all elements of the middle school vision.His mission is the statement.To request music by Bohannon to be played on Radio Artistopia, click here!Hamilton Bohannon fan site or even an official site.The simplest tune, "The Pimp Walk," is the best of the bunch.Side Two, though, pursues a direction Bohannon would never explore again: murky tunes with slow blues licks recalling Funkadelic's first album ("Singing A Song For My Mother").Often it's affecting ("Save Their Souls"), and even when it isn't ("It's Time For Peace") at least it's unusual.Bohannon's first notable single).Stompin' Music": two rhythm guitars playing cross
rhythms over a steady bass and drum vamp, and not too much else.Ramsey Lewis, and successful in its small way, though I'd be a lot happier if the tunes
averaged three minutes rather than six.As with nearly all the records to follow, everything was written, arranged, directed and produced by Bohannon.In some ways, it's more bare than ever, with hardly any vocals (apart from the title chant) or variety, though there is an extended sax solo and (eventually) a chord change on "The Groove I Feel.""Bohannon's Beat," while "South Africa '76" is
an undisguised, if effective, remake of "South African Man."On the slow side, "I'm In Love" is fine mellow
jazz, with a bouncy guitar line and a nice vibraphone solo, while "Come Winter" is a standout
in the other direction, an atrocious ballad with a smarmy vocal from Bohannon.Herbie Williams and Maurice Davis
added trumpets on "Let's Rock The Band."The title either refers to Bohannon's switch from Brunswick to Mercury, or to the birth of his son Hamilton F.Mostly the same cast as before; Ragin's distinctive lead guitar is particularly prominent.The place to start with Bohannon, from what I've heard so far.Billy Preston or Wonder.Wonder Why" is a wistful instrumental.Coming On Strong (Carolyn Crawford: 1978)
Produced and presumably written by Bohannon.Energetic and entertaining like Summertime Groove, though Crawford doesn't sing as much apart from "Mighty Groovy.""The Beat (Part 2)" is similarly engaging.Throughout, Waterhouse plays more prominent, intriguing bass lines than usual, adding an ominous yet danceable touch to "Let Me See How You Do It."And he's short of compositions again."Love Floats," though it's ultimately insubstantial.Originals' "Baby I'm For Real."The first release on his Phase II Records label.Bohannon had his hands full with vocalists by this point: Crawford goes way over the top on "Dance Dance Dance All Night," though she's fine on "Do What Cha Wanna Do."Lands is more bizarre, screeching inappropriately on "April My Love (Part I)" (a mellow tribute to his newborn daughter).Keisa Brown acquits herself best, ranging from tender crooning on the ballad "Is It Real" (strings by Allen) to heavy belting on the dance tune "Throw Down The Groove (Part I)."Bohannon, with decent but unexceptional boogies and schmaltz.The pleasant exception is the bouncy pop song "Thinking Of You," with a swinging (if uncredited) electric piano solo."The Symphonic March" is similar apart from the orchestral opening and closing.Only "The Happy Dance" is close to Bohannon's normal speedy disco, and even that's set apart by some unusually prominent rhythm guitar improvisation.In case you don't get the title's implication, the cover photo features Bohannon's two children.The instrumental version of the pleasantly dippy "A Happy Song For You" spotlights an endless trumpet solo, and the ballad "You're The One" features unpredictable vocalizing from Lands.Bohannon's own work is more in his usual vein, with a spare funk instrumental ("Funkville") and a yearning, underwritten ballad ("Come Back My Love")."The Gang's All Here" even has
a rap, from Thomas Hearns."Over The Rainbow," sounding like Patti LaBelle gone mad.Highlights: A smokin version of her hit single Tambourine and a killer verse from Party Like a Rockstar.The Bohannon Network Office is located in Eagan, MN, with Minnesota District Network Offices in Edina, Mankato, Rochester, and Marshall; and Wisconsin District Network Offices in La Crosse and Eau Claire.Bohannon, Managing Partner of The Bohannon Group, joined Northwestern Mutual in 1982 and has successfully held every financial representative and management contract available to the field force since.As Managing Partner, Tim has been instrumental in developing strong, successful leaders within the company and the field force, exemplified most recently in The Bohannon Group receiving the Team Growth Award in 2005.In conjunction with this most recent honor, The Bohannon Group has been a recipient of the General Agency Growth Award and the International Management Award every year since 2001 and the Master Agency Award each year beginning in 2002.In regard to The Bohannon Group as a part of the Northwestern Mutual Financial Network, Tim leads by example embracing the capacity of our Specialists and the evolution of the network office.Northwestern Mutual, Milwaukee, WI.The Northwestern Mutual Financial Network is a marketing name for the sales and distribution arm of The Northwestern Mutual Life Insurance Company, its affiliates and subsidiaries.NMFN is not a partnership or legal entity.Managing Partners are not in legal partnership with each other, NM or its affiliates.There may be instances where agents of NM represent companies in addition to NM or its affiliates.The products and services referenced are offered and sold only by appropriately appointed and licensed entities and Network Representatives.Network representatives might not represent all entities shown or provide all the services discussed on this web site.Not all products and services are available in all states.Timothy John Bohannon, General Agent, The Bohannon Group has Financial Representatives that are primarily licensed in Minnesota.FIND OUT MORE Get the news on career opportunities.Northwestern Mutual Financial Network.BOHANNON
