The Chi-Lites Biography

The Chi-Lites are a Chicago-based smooth soul vocal group. During the 1970s, they racked up 11 Top 10 U.S. R&B singles, ranging from the romantic ballads "Have You Seen Her" and "Oh Girl" to protest songs like "(For God's Sake) Give More Power to the People" and "There Will Never Be Any Peace (Until God Is Seated at the Conference Table)". All the songs featured Record's tenor and falsetto, and most of the group's hits were written by Record, in collaboration with songwriters like Barbara Acklin. Allmusic journalist, Stephen Thomas Erlewine, states "the Chi-Lites had a lush, hearty sound distinguished by their four-part harmonies and layered productions".
