This album is absolutely brilliant. I can't believe that the Chi-Lites never had a number 1 single either here or in the USA because the lead vocalist, the late "Eugene Record" had a beautiful voice. They don't have singers like that nowadays!

This review is from: Vol. 2-Complete Chi-Lites on Brunswick Records (Audio CD)

the chi-lites were known for their early 70s masterpieces HAVE YOU SEEN HER and OH GIRL. there's a lesser hit called A LETTER TO MYSELF which really borrows a lot from their first big hit. and theres a few more sound a likes since they thought it was a winning formula. they never reached the heights of groups like the o'jays, stylistics, spinners and the like. i bought this for a very minor hit since i had the three previous hits. a song called MY HEART KEEPS ON BREAKING. it was so long ago but i remember really liking it. surprise surprise when i heard it again. it was a real stab at country for them. its funny to hear it now. the cd is nicely remastered and the booklet and liner notes are extensive and there might be another gem or two i didnt mention.
