The Chi S02e01

This set collects two of the Chi-Lites' later-era LPs, 1976’s "Happy Being Lonely" and 1977’s "The Fantastic Chi-Lites", on a single disc. The group was pretty much past its sell-by date at this point and beset with frequent personnel changes, although both of these albums are surprisingly pleasant and poignant at points even if they didn’t yield any big hits.

Digitally re-mastered two-for containing a pair of albums from the Soul legends: Heavenly Body (1980) and Me & You (1981). The Chi-Lites had their biggest hits in the 70s but continued as an entity through the next few decades. For these two albums, the group consisted of Marshall Thompson, Eugene Record, Robert Lester, Marshall Thompson, and Creadel Jones. Both album boast some of the finest musicians of the day, fantastic full bodied productions swimming in strings and horns. We include here the rare 12" mix of "Try My Side of Love" and showcase some luxury soul in a variety of flavors and tempos all delivered by one of the finest ever vocal harmony groups to exist.

For smooth vocals with some funky backing you can't beat the Chi-Lites, whose 70s smash hits are all included in this generous package, mastered from the best sources ever. They were Chi-Town's #1 soul group of the 70s. Between 1969 and 1975 the Chi Lites racked up 23 US Hot 100 hits. This compilation achieves a fine balance that incorporates all their biggest successes and throws in a few of the lesser hits that are beloved by all connoisseurs of quality group soul. Millions of young people around the world danced to the Chi-Lites in 2003. Sure, they may have thought they were dancing to Beyonce Knowles, but us older kids were ever happy to inform the young whippersnappers that B's massive floorfiller Crazy In Love would have sounded a bit, well, empty without the superpowered horns and bongos from the group's 1970 hit Are You My Woman (Tell Me So) to push its beats along. With a catalogue that also includes Oh Girl, Have You Seen Her, Stoned Out Of My Mind, Homely Girl and loads more like 'em, there's never been a time when the royalty well has run low or dry for The Chi-Lites prolific songwriter Eugene Record. If you want to hear soul harmony in its purest form, you've come to the right place.
