Here's the point of the song, Britt. He's lost her (for whatever reason) and she's haunting his mind. He sees her everywhere ... in his imagination, on the streets, the movies, everywhere in his mind, and he can't get her out of his mind. He asks his friends ... "have you seen her?" Who is she with? What is she doing? Does she miss me? Beneath the choreography, the vocals, the harmony, lies a painful story of a lost love.
Their follow-up single was an even bigger hit, "Oh Girl" (1971), which was a #1 Pop and R&B smash. The "Chi" references their hometown of Chicago, I believe.
November,1972. Basic training at Fort Leonard Wood, Missouri. Middle of a very cold night, huddled in the back of a Duece and a half, returning to our barracks after a couple of days out in the field. We had 4 black guys in the truck with us and they started singing this song acapella. Amazing harmonies. They sounded just like the Chi-lites. I was cold, dirty, tired and homesick...but for a few minutes, I closed my eyes and their voices made me forget my misery. I remember it like it was yesterday. Everytime I hear this song, I think about them. Thank you, guys.
One of the greatest songs , and singing groups of the 1970's. Never get tired of hearing them sing. The guy singing the high parts is absolutely fabulous. Back when there talent and not computer tricks. this kind of singing started waaayyy back in the 1920's.30' 40,s with groups like The Ink Spots...check them out .Evolved in to what was labeled Dooo Wop of the 1950's [street corner groups singing, white and black guys, sometimes both in one group [shock of all shocks lol]. I say the secret to singing high for guys is wearing boys underwear....
The Bee Gees had nothing over these guys in the falsetto department. I loved that era that ran from guys singing like this to Berry White and everything in between! What a great time of musical diversity!! I miss it!!
Thanks Britt! Wow wow this one brings me back to Junior High! I sang this song all the time. A very high s sounding vocalist from that era was Dan Fogelberg. Thanks again Britt!
The Chi-Lites were an American R&B/soul vocal group in the 60's-70's. Their biggest hits were "Have You Seen Her" & "Oh Girl". They had some other songs but not as popular.
The year is 1971, I'm a freshman student at Northwestern Oklahoma State University sitting in the student union and this is the song playing on the jukebox (remember that antique?) over and over and over etc. Hated the song at the time, but as the years have gone by I've grown to love it as it reminds me of a simpler time in life.
Awesome sound! Grew up listening to them. Check out their song "Oh Girl". Stylistics, Harold Melvin and the Blue Notes, Manhattens, Carpenters, Bread are all great groups from that era.
The Chi-Lites, pronounced "shy-lights", are a vocal group formed in 1959 at Hyde Park H. S., in Chicago, IL. After a few personnel changes, the members who recorded all of their hits was, Eugene Record (lead vocalist and song writer), Marshall Thompson, Robert "Squirrel" Lester, Creadel "Red" Jones. Marshall is the only surviving member from that line-up. Their major hits came in 1971 and 1972, "Have You Seen Her" and "Oh Girl", the latter becoming a number one single on the Billboard Hot 100 on May 27, 1972.[6] Each sold over one million copies and was awarded a gold disc by the RIAA. Few could match the harmony of the Chi-Lites, having hits in the eras of Doo-wop, Soul music and Disco. This song was written by Barbara Acklin and Eugene Record. The spoken parts were inspired by the opening monologues on Isaac Hayes' 1969 Hot Buttered Soul album, where Hayes would tell an often heartbreaking tale using his speaking voice before singing. On "Have You Seen Her," Record speaks the verses, explaining that ever since his girl left him, he hasn't been able to enjoy the simple pleasures in life like going to the movies or playing with the neighborhood children. That's because he can't stop thinking about his girl, and he envisions her everywhere he goes, even though she's not really there. He tell himself she'll be back, but he knows deep down it's a lie. Still, he asks anyone who will listen, "Have you seen her?" Please consider reviewing "Coldest Days of My Life", "Oh Girl", (For God's Sake) Give More Power To The People", "A Lonely Man", and "Let Me Be The Man My Daddy Was".
One comment I'd read a while back that I will never forget and its pretty much a mic drop and nothing else needs to be said comparing music then and today. " The songs now are SING ABOUT WOMEN, the songs then SANG TO THEM".
When I saw you doing this, I thought two things. First, I can’t believe you haven’t done this yet? Second, you are going to love the dancing! Black vocal groups of the 60s and 70s were masters at choreography.
Girl I love a song that tells a story. All the R&B groups had the choreography down! GK and her Pimps, Temptations, Chi-Lights. If only we had recorders back in the day so I could have learned those moves better. 😂
Another one you should check out with that 70s choreography that you love is Rock The Boat by Hues Corporation, it’s two guys and a girl, great vocals and very catchy tune. I can see you mimicking their moves already!!! 😁👍🏼
Britt, you keep doing this, reminding me I' getting on a bit. The '70s were my youth. This one was so early seventies (with a hint of sixties). I remember it well.
You should listen to the 45 rpm single studio recording. This TV show omitted the opening spoken word portion which is essential to understanding the meaning of the song. The "picture show" is a old term referring to a motion picture theater, in Chicago to this day Black Americans simply say "I'm going to the show" when going to see a movie. Girls and women would go crazy over a man singing in a falsetto, like Smokey Robinson, Frankie Lymon, Eugene Record, Russell Tompkins, Eddie Kendricks, and deep bass like Melvin Franklin, Issac Hayes and Barry White. Tenors also did okay, like David Ruffin and Dennis Edwards. Baritones had no chance. Rap and hip hop destroyed have wrecked the business of recorded music.
I seen the thumbnail and instantly stared singing this song, words for word like it was just played an hour ago. Loved it when it came out and still do.
I think the male and female quartet harmony was born in gospel music and then migrated to the pop/soul/rock variations. Because there was no way to electronically cheat, they had to be good. Their harmonies had to be good. It's almost a lost art. The closest new thing lately to that trend are the acapella groups like Homefree and Pentatonix. But during that period there was a lot of great music produced by a lot of talented people.
I’ve heard Anthony Hamilton and Musiq Soulchild sing in falsetto , plus you know Maxwell made the falsetto cool again in the late 90’s. Most of Prince’s earlier music (the first two albums ) was mostly sung in his signature falsetto , some people were actually surprised to hear him speak in his low tone and sing in the low tone after his first few albums .
Snoop LOVES these guys, and for good reason. Pretty sure he'd be in the band if they did a reunion tour. Such a clean, crisp sound, great harmonies. I have the same feeling about rock music - so many rock singers have really high voices. I think the Temptations ruined it for everybody else because they have some more masculine voices, with a bit more scratch or uniqueness to them.
If you want to hear a falsetto voice sing brilliantly, you have to do Too Much Heaven by the Bee Gees. Do the official version. Recorded in Germany on one take with a full orchestra. They definitely don't make music like that anymore!
Britt first take the knit cap off so you can hear the song. Two stop rattling a candy bag, you can hear it over the song. And that was motown music. Some of the best music ever made. Music groups dressed with style and flair. Dance moves were routines.
Ah ah ah ah ah ah Ooh Ah ah ah ah ah ah Ooh A one month ago today I was happy as a lark But now I go for walks To the movies, maybe to the park I have a seat on the same old bench To watch the children play You know tomorrow is their future But for me just another day Well, they all gather 'round me, huh They seem to know my name Well, we laugh, tell a few jokes But it still doesn't ease my pain Well, I know I can't hide from a memory Though day after day I've tried I keep sayin' she'll be back But today again I've lied Oh, I see her face everywhere I go On the street and even at the picture show Have you seen her Tell me have you seen her Oh, I hear her voice as the cold winds blow In the sweet music on my radio Have you seen her Tell me have you seen her Why, oh, why Did she have to leave and go away, oh yeah Oh, I've been used to havin' someone to lean on And I'm lost, baby, I'm lost Oh, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo Doo, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo Have you seen her Tell me have you seen her Oh, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo Doo, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo Have you seen her Tell me have you seen her Oh, she left her kiss upon my lips But left that break within my heart Have you seen her Tell me have you seen her Oh, I see her hand reaching out to me Only she can set me free Have you seen her Tell me have you seen her Why, oh, why Did she have to leave and go away, oh yeah Oh, I've been used to havin' someone to lean on And I'm lost, baby, I'm lost Oh, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo Doo, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo Have you seen her Tell me have you seen her Oh, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo As another day comes to an end I'm lookin' for a letter or somethin' (doo, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo) Or anything that she would send (have you seen her?) With all the people I know, huh (tell me have you seen her?) I'm still a lonely man (oh) You know it's funny (doo, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo) But I thought I had her in the palm of my hand (doo, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo) (Have you seen her) Tell me have you seen her Oh doo, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo (oh yeah) Doo, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo Have you seen her (have you seen her) Tell me have you seen her (have you seen her) Have you seen her Tell me have you seen her Have you seen her (have you seen her) Tell me have you seen her (have you seen her) Song writers are Eugene Record and Barbara Acklin
Talent is what mattered to us in the 60's and 70's. It wasn't about manly or female, just talent. The Motown sound was full of the choreography and the music, Berry Gordy had a way of developing the artists with the show and the music. Today it's all about clicks, like, fame, influence.... Talent often seems unimportant, leading to a lot of vacuous and empty people with 15 minutes of fame, not careers as artists. Hell, without engineers, producers and electronic auto tune modification, you wouldn't want to hear most new 'artists' sing anything . How many even play instruments anymore? Very sad, they're some left, but it's just a fraction of what came from the 60's and 70's!
If you recall, there was a score of different record companies around the country producing their own sounds. Detroit, Memphis, Atlanta, Philadelphia, et cetera. It wasn't homogenized sound dictated by record companies. Also, those companies were willing to experiment. They didn't have computer algorithms telling them what kind of sound that would sell. One executive said, "We didn't know what the audience would want...we'd try out a new sound and see if people liked it."
Hi Britt! I’d like to suggest a hilarious comedian I think you’ll love. Peter Kay. He brings tears to my eyes I laugh so hard. His misheard lyrics are hysterical. Love your channel. ❤
Singing that way became popular in the mid 70s. Every group needed that “soprano “voice. Drove all the women crazy!❤ that was good music!
Really? how about the Beach Boys and Jan and Dean? Or in the 1950's, early 1960's Doo Wop groups? How about Del Shannon singing high on "Runaway?"
Here's the point of the song, Britt. He's lost her (for whatever reason) and she's haunting his mind. He sees her everywhere ... in his imagination, on the streets, the movies, everywhere in his mind, and he can't get her out of his mind. He asks his friends ... "have you seen her?" Who is she with? What is she doing? Does she miss me? Beneath the choreography, the vocals, the harmony, lies a painful story of a lost love.
Really 🙄
It's obvious
Their follow-up single was an even bigger hit, "Oh Girl" (1971), which was a #1 Pop and R&B smash. The "Chi" references their hometown of Chicago, I believe.
One of the best 70s R&B groups ever!
This version is missing the entire spoken intro, which is an integral part of the song. What a pity.
November,1972. Basic training at Fort Leonard Wood, Missouri. Middle of a very cold night, huddled in the back of a Duece and a half, returning to our barracks after a couple of days out in the field.

This era was absolutely incredible
I agree! So many hits!

The Chi's were great, but the Beegees were the kings of falsetto 😊
The Stylistics, Chi-Lites, and others familiar were the BeeGees models.
Yes Britt it's Chi-lites as in Chi-town from CHICAGO My Home town one of my favorite old school group's
R&B was never better than it was in the 70s.
I miss music like this from my younger days - thanks for keeping beautiful music alive ❤❤❤
Chi-Lites, Stylistics and Delfonics are the kings of smooth soul
Thanks Britt! Wow wow this one brings me back to Junior High! I sang this song all the time. A very high s sounding vocalist from that era was Dan Fogelberg. Thanks again Britt!
It's a golden oldie, we don't mind bleeding ears for oldies.

Most of the R & B groups in the 70s/Motown did great choreography & great vocals.
This unfortunately is a lost art.
I loved this song & have the 45
The Flip Wilson Show was great. Good musical guests and Flip's comedy, especially his character Geraldine Jones, and her boyfriend "Killer".
"Hey, Chris, bring back some of them Ray Charles records". Geraldine's Queen Isabella to Christopher Columbus.
Ahhh, loosing that first love still lives inside. That song brings it back
So much great music in the 70's, wish I could relive them days again.
Awesome sound! Grew up listening to them. Check out their song "Oh Girl". Stylistics, Harold Melvin and the Blue Notes, Manhattens, Carpenters, Bread are all great groups from that era.

I still have the 45 record of their song The Coldest Days of My Life. Great song.
This and “Oh Girl,” two of the best ballads of the ‘70s.
Girl I love a song that tells a story. All the R&B groups had the choreography down! GK and her Pimps, Temptations, Chi-Lights. If only we had recorders back in the day so I could have learned those moves better. 😂
LOl. not pimps but GK and pips.
@ 🤣
Too funny!
Great song loved it as a little kid in the early 70s
I remember... what a great song.
Little Anthony " Tears On My Pillow " is very good also
Another one you should check out with that 70s choreography that you love is Rock The Boat by Hues Corporation, it’s two guys and a girl, great vocals and very catchy tune. I can see you mimicking their moves already!!! 😁👍🏼
Britt, you keep doing this, reminding me I' getting on a bit. The '70s were my youth. This one was so early seventies (with a hint of sixties). I remember it well.
Lead singer Eugene Record, RIP!
Love all these soul classica! When music was good!
I see the Chi-Lites as one of the R&B groups that bridged the Motown sound of the 60s and the Philly Sound of the mid 70s.
👍👍
absolutely stunning today Britt
You should check out the comedian Sinbad doing this song. It lives rent free in my head, even like 30+ years later lol
just checked this out...very funny :D
Love Sinbad. Actually got to see him. Took my parents since he does clean comedy.
Added
One of my favorite songs. Loved them. ❤
I was in the 7th or 8th grade when this song came out!!!! What a time to grow up in!!!!!!! The music was GOAT !!!!!
I've been mentioning this to because of it's a story song, and I know you love a story, great reaction
This is a beautifully sad song. Love your reaction!
Nice nostalgia, thank you!!

Tenors also did okay, like David Ruffin and Dennis Edwards. Baritones had no chance. Rap and hip hop destroyed have wrecked the business of recorded music.
Proper soul singers like Otis Redding and the ladies loved Teddy Pendergrass
the SHY LIGHTS (pronunciation)...beautiful song about longing for a lost love...
You might want to react to 'The Cornelius Brothers and Sister Rose' "Too Late to Turn Back Now" - cheesy coreo, an ear worm chorus and same era.
MC HAMMER! 1991! 😂😂❤❤❤
You should check out Sinbad's take on this song during one of his comedy specials.
I seen the thumbnail and instantly stared singing this song, words for word like it was just played an hour ago. Loved it when it came out and still do.
The 70s had a tremendous variety of great music
I think the male and female quartet harmony was born in gospel music and then migrated to the pop/soul/rock variations. Because there was no way to electronically cheat, they had to be good.

One of my favorite Soul songs of the 70s.
One of my faves...listen to the studio version. It's so smooth!
You really enjoyed that one, your facial expressions tell it all! Great reaction.
Britt you need to watch for the Tribute Shows. Exceptional performances and talent
These guys were soo good!
If you want to hear a falsetto voice sing brilliantly, you have to do Too Much Heaven by the Bee Gees. Do the official version. Recorded in Germany on one take with a full orchestra. They definitely don't make music like that anymore!
Love my girl Britt. Her Elvis reactions and Player..
Damn. Not forgetting Play That Funky Music White Boy. ❤❤❤ Keep it up hun 🎉🎉🎉
Britt, you need to watch some Flip Wilson - especially Geraldine. His show was a staple in my house, just like Carol Burnett.
Awesome group from Chicago and a great song!!
one of my all-time faves! ❤❤❤
“Oh Girl” nuff said
Britt there were a lot of different voices in the 70s from Chi-Lites to Barry White, Teddy Pendergrass, Levi Stubbs
Memories... 🥰😋😎
Britt first take the knit cap off so you can hear the song. Two stop rattling a candy bag, you can hear it over the song. And that was motown music. Some of the best music ever made. Music groups dressed with style and flair. Dance moves were routines.
Real good one❤❤❤❤❤
These men have so many great songs
Thank you for reaction to my suggestion. You’re the best! ❤😊
Makeup all the words you want. It was well placed ❤❤
As the popularity of this style of music faded, I'll bet a lot of these singers went to singing in church or in road bands.
Great song, and you’re still beautiful my Lady! Rock on…
Ah ah ah ah ah ah
Ooh
Ah ah ah ah ah ah
Ooh
A one month ago today
I was happy as a lark
But now I go for walks
To the movies, maybe to the park
I have a seat on the same old bench
To watch the children play
You know tomorrow is their future
But for me just another day
Well, they all gather 'round me, huh
They seem to know my name
Well, we laugh, tell a few jokes
But it still doesn't ease my pain
Well, I know I can't hide from a memory
Though day after day I've tried
I keep sayin' she'll be back
But today again I've lied
Oh, I see her face everywhere I go
On the street and even at the picture show
Have you seen her
Tell me have you seen her
Oh, I hear her voice as the cold winds blow
In the sweet music on my radio
Have you seen her
Tell me have you seen her
Why, oh, why
Did she have to leave and go away, oh yeah
Oh, I've been used to havin' someone to lean on
And I'm lost, baby, I'm lost
Oh, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo
Doo, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo
Have you seen her
Tell me have you seen her
Oh, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo
Doo, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo
Have you seen her
Tell me have you seen her
Oh, she left her kiss upon my lips
But left that break within my heart
Have you seen her
Tell me have you seen her
Oh, I see her hand reaching out to me
Only she can set me free
Have you seen her
Tell me have you seen her
Why, oh, why
Did she have to leave and go away, oh yeah
Oh, I've been used to havin' someone to lean on
And I'm lost, baby, I'm lost
Oh, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo
Doo, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo
Have you seen her
Tell me have you seen her
Oh, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo
As another day comes to an end
I'm lookin' for a letter or somethin' (doo, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo)
Or anything that she would send (have you seen her?)
With all the people I know, huh (tell me have you seen her?)
I'm still a lonely man (oh)
You know it's funny (doo, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo)
But I thought I had her in the palm of my hand (doo, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo)
(Have you seen her)
Tell me have you seen her
Oh doo, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo (oh yeah)
Doo, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo
Have you seen her (have you seen her)
Tell me have you seen her (have you seen her)
Have you seen her
Tell me have you seen her
Have you seen her (have you seen her)
Tell me have you seen her (have you seen her)
Song writers are Eugene Record and Barbara Acklin

“ Left a brick within my heart”
Give Me Just A Little More Time - The Chairmen of the Board. these men are magic
The voices back then were different because soul music became R and B. Need the soul back.
Its missing the beginning but this was really cool. I was a little kid when this was out..I miss those old days. They teally were better.
I relate to this song as a wife passing away, too early, he sees her every we hrre.
My first time knowing of this song was after MC Hammer sampled this in 1990.
A classic. BUT try their 1983 "Bottom's up". Funky✨👌🏾😎👍🏾✨
The singing is great
I would love to see you react to “float on “ by the floaters. The long version!
Yes Britt I have seen you❤😊
Love this song. Thank you for the review. Please check out "Boogie Wonderland" by Leonid and Friends.
Hey Ms Brit! ❤It is Chi- lights (Chi-cago)
Okay great thanks 👍
Hi Britt! I’d like to suggest a hilarious comedian I think you’ll love. Peter Kay. He brings tears to my eyes I laugh so hard. His misheard lyrics are hysterical. Love your channel. ❤
You should definitely listen to "Oh Girl"
This song covered by MC Hammer too .
have u seen her was sampled by mc hammer in 1990. always love your reaction vids britt
mike
from canada eh
Girl! You did just make up "cornily," and i like it 👌😂
Chi-Lites Which is short for Chicago Lights
The 90's were when falsetto ended. Aaron Neville comes to mind as one of the last of his kind.
Masculine and singing like that is called talent. Today if you look good computers will do the rest.
If I had to guess I would say it's the record companies saying "we" don't want men singing like this. Of course they're wrong.
You need to react to Bobby Caldwell singing ... What you won't do for love
Love this song
