The song was written and produced by Brian Holland, Lamont Dozier, Edward Holland, Jr., and Ron Dunbar.

'' Members of Motown 's in - house band, The Funk Brothers, who played all of Holland - Dozier - Holland 's previous hits, played on this recording as well as many other Invictus / Hot Wax recordings. `` Give Me Just a Little More Time '', backed with `` Since the Days of Pigtails & Fairytales '', peaked at number three on the Billboard Hot 100 in the United States, making it the best - performing of the Chairmen 's singles, and the first of the Chairmen 's four Billboard Hot 100 Top 40 pop hits. The single also peaked at number - eight on the Billboard R&B Singles chart. It reached number three in the UK Singles Chart in September 1970, having already sold more than one million copies in the US. The first Chairmen of the Board LP, a self - titled release, included the single ; after the single 's success, the Chairmen of the Board album was reissued as Give Me Just a Little More Time. In 1982, American R&B singer Angela Clemmons remade the song and it peaked at # 4 on Billboard 's Hot Dance Music / Club Play Singles chart.
