Brief Encounter, a 1970's soul band that originated from North Wilkesboro, N.C. Despite hailing from an area known more for its illustrious history of moonshining, NASCAR legends and bluegrass music, Brief Encounter undoubtedly left their mark on the music industry. Two hits on the Billboard charts, playing introductions to popular groups and artists like James Brown, K.C. and the Sunshine Band, Sister Sledge, Tavares and Mother’s Finest, a deal with Capitol Records and recording in Muscle Shoals, AL are just a few of their achievements.
