I was in high school when this was released and I bought the album in the high school student run record and candy store. Definitely one of my favorite albums. Brings back a lot of good memories.
Seen this group back in the 70,s. Love them to death. I can listen to The coldest day of my life. Over and over, and over.Brings tears to my eyes. Makes me think of what I was doing back then 18 or 19 yes. Old.💖💖💖💯💯💯.🔥🎶🎶🎶.👍
Ths is absolutely amazing saw these guys bck in 73 in Fort Lauderdale Florida Eugene gave me a red 🌹 rose best time of my life here I am 67 years still loving the Chilites ❤ Rest Easy Eugene Lester and Red yu guys were the best ❤
"Oh Girl", the greatest love song ever written. Hands down! The sweetest and saddest harmonica ever. The Temptations, "I Wish It Would Rain" a close second. The Mighty Chi-lites!
Djantbro; The Chi-Lites of Chicago Featuring Eugene Record, were the "Prophets of Northern Soul" outside of the Detroit "Motown Sound" of The Temptations! and, one of the most prolific Music Groups, to "Put it on Wax"!; awesome!; Thank You! Brunswick Records!
I Can remember this song so well when I was young. My uncle use to sing all their songs. Therefore I know all the words. I still love them like it was yesterday.
HI GOD BLESS... I MUST SAY THAT THIS IS THE BEST FULL ALBUM WRITTEN SANG RECORDED PRODUCED BY ANY- - -"ONE"- - - BLACK SOUL GROUP ON THE PLANET EARTH. .... NO OTHER MUSICAL SOULFULL GROUP SINGING ON & WITH ANY MUSIC LABEL. THESE GUYS WERE TALENT!!! REAL FOR REAL BLACK TALENT AS NONE OTHER SINCE NOR BEFORE OR AFTER. WHO COULD DO THE WORK THESE YOUNG FELLOWS HAVE DONEDID OR HAVE DIDDONE WHICHEVER IS PROPER ENGLISH?? THERE AINT NO BETTER FULL ALBUM PUT OUT WITH ALL NEAR ALL THE SONGS WRITTEN BY ONE MEMBER OF THE GROUP. THIS IS JUST MY OWN OPINION. OTHERS MAY DISAGREE AND THAT IS YOU'RE PEROGATIVE...RIGHT? THANK YOU FOR LISTENING TO MINE.
Never a truer word.Eugene Record was one of the best ,if not THE best writers,composers arrangers in soul/popp music history.Shame he hasn't been recognised for his magnificent contribution to music.
GOOD AFTERNOON AND I REMEMBER LISTENING TO THIS MUSIC ON SUNDAY WITH MY FAMILY MEMBERS ONE LOVE TO THEM ALSO AND MAY GOD BLESS THEM ALL THIS TAKES ME BACK TO THE HIGHWAY DAYS OF HUSTLING AROUND THE STREETS OF THE WORLD AND I’M STILL PRAYING AND LIVING AMEN
The tracks "Have You Seen Her" and "A Lonely Man" are essentially the same tune but completely different songs impact wise. "A Lonely Man" and "Coldest Days Of My Life" are songs that stay with me. Thanks for posting 😊

I'm prepared to be wrong - but I think this group and the Delfonics were the top soul groups of the early 70s. Can anyone reply me some other groups to check out? This genre is some of the best music I've ever heard.

The Dramatics are right up there if not just above the Chi Lites in my humble opinion.
The Moments. Chi-Lites are still #1.
