The Monkey Time is a classic American Soul and R&B track, considered the first major hit of singer Major Lance's career and a significant hallmark of early 1960s Chicago Soul. The song capitalizes on the popularity of the "Monkey" dance craze prevalent at the time. With its distinctive, lively, and Latin-tinged arrangement, the track not only launched Major Lance's success but also revived the Chicago-based Okeh Records label after a decade-long absence of major hits. Songwriter: Curtis Mayfield
