just found an interview with Marshall Thompson of the group. He was ok with the interviewer calling them the shy-lites. Marshall would know, or his memory is shot like everyone here 🤣
"oh girl" is one of my favourite songs, and i am pretty old and have heard a lot of music. 🙂 i think it might have been featured in a sopranos episode at one point. i think tony was driving around and listening to it. i could be mistaken.
The 70's R & B groups: Stylistics. The Dramatics. The Spinners. Chi-lites....were all the soul groups carrying on that Motown sound and many of us Loved these groups...with lots of falsettos i their music. Good Reactions!!!
Eugene Record on lead vocals, Brunswick Records, not Motown. its actually pronounced with a hard CH. CHI LITES, like CHI TOWN(Chicago where they are from)
The Chi-Lites Everyone knows them for this classic, as it put them on the map, but "Oh Girl", their next single, was their biggest Billboard hit, and their second, and final Top 10 and only #1, in 1972. "Have You Seen Her" reached #3 in the nation in 1971.
"I thought I had her in the palm of my hand." - That's where he made his mistake. This song was huge when I was in high school. So fun to sing along with. Try 'Oh Girl' next.
Hey Rob Squad.....I'm here representing the sound of the 70's and I'm here to inform you that you've been formally inducted into our era! Don't bring anything but your good vibes! WELCOME!
The best of times! 🥰 Sometimes I feel heartache for the ol’ days when I hear my music that I grew up with… especially I watch J and Amber sharing it with us. ❤️
The Chilites was one of about 200 guy r&b groups in the 70's that put it down with sweet harmonies and falsettos and just awesome feel-good singing. Delfonics Moments Blue Magic O'Jays Enchantment Harold Melvin and the Blue Notes Temprees Main Ingredients Stylistics Whispers Dells Spinners Dramatics etc.
This generation of soul singers were so so smooth .. Like listening to velvet❤ Very soothing. Loved this era of music. Thank you so much for playing these great tunes 💕💕
I'm going to suggest yet again since you guys are digging the soul genre. The Manhattans, "Just Kiss And Say Goodbye". Also, The Floaters-"Float On" and some girl magic. The Three Degrees- "When Will I See You Again. There is definitely a bunch more
@@seanswinton6242 I've searched their channel and have never seen that they did The Manhattans or The Floaters. I'd like to see those if they actually did them.
They are named after their hometown of Chicago. Chicago lights is the literal translation. You know Chi - town. Jay should know this. Great song. Siri let you down. Next up, Harold Melvin and the Blue Notes and the hit THE LOVE I LOST. Teddy Peddergrass is an amazing vocalist. Enjoy
Jay, you have it nailed. I have seen them perform and they do all the Motown dance moves when they sing. They, along with groups like the Spinners and the Temptations and the Coasters, etc., have led to the more modern acapella groups such as Pentatonix and Home Free. All of these groups had great harmonies and gave us some of the best music ever recorded.
Love love love this song! I worked at a car plant near Detroit and to pass the time on the line a Brother named Luther and I would sing this song and many others he couldn’t believe I knew all these soul songs ! Great memories ! Love you two keep it up !
When a song has the ability to lift up your feelings when you are in the dumps it doesn't matter what kind of music it's supposed to represent a great song Is a great song. When I was learning my ice cream route in reading pa.a lot of radios were playing Spanish music. Now I had no idea what they were singing. But the music was catchy and lively so I just listened and enjoyed it.
Thank you for your service to this country, Brother Brian. And for the hardships you saw over there and back here at home, may you be blessed with many great days and great music!
@@markconnolly312 Thanks man. Nothing quite like getting drafted in wartime and having your fiance just vanish. This song and a few others from this period spoke volumes to me at the time. I moved on but damn this song is painful to hear. By the way, I never saw her again and nobody could or would tell me what became of her.
Great song! Amber, I have heard you express often that you wish you were around to experience this music first hand. You and Jay are in a good place in time. Back then, considering as much fun as we had, we didn’t have internet, cell phones or social media. We didn’t even have reaction videos 😊. We didn’t have navigation in our cars either. With that said, today, you guys got it going on! But…. We did have a good time!
you are welcome to turn off all your modern appliances if you REALLY feel like it was better without them, but it OBVIOUSLY wasn't, so you won't turn them off.
@@xmathmanx You totally mis read the meaning of my comment. The meaning is; how great they have it now. I enjoyed life then, as I do now. Not once did I say it was better without todays tech. I don’t know how you got that out of my comment! I Thank tech for giving me the opportunity to clarify!
@@johnparker8588 That is so true! Although we did have a great time, but…. Today perks, like cell phones and car navigation is great as well. Even the internet! It was such a good time way back then! That’s why there are these reaction videos, most people will agree!
My moms high school days. I grew up listening to this group. Back in 2004, I took my mom to a 70’s Soul Explosion Show, with The Manhattan’s, Blood Stone, Chi-Lites, Delfonics and The Stylistics, great concert. The Chi-Lites even sang the song” Are You My Woman (Tell Me So), the beat was sampled by Beyoncé for “Crazy In Love.”
I grew up in suburban Denver, started seriously listening to the radio about 1971. Heard all kinds of music played(shout out to KTLK, KIMN, KXKX, KBPI, and KADX), it wasn't unusual to hear Grand Funk, followed by The Spinners, followed by Elton John. A GREAT era for music!! So happy to see young people actually listening to the old songs, and appreciating them for being the great music they were!!
Im 42. My dad used to play this in his Chevy Caprice station wagon in the 80s. I always loved this song. I blast this song for my kids who are 8 and 10. They need to hear the greats. I loved watching you guys take in this song. That's what it does to you. It hits amazing.
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 lead singer and writer/co-writer of their songs was Eugene Record. They are a Chicago group, the members were Marshall Thompson, Eugene Record, Robert "Squirrel" Lester, Creadel "Red" Jones. Marshall is the only living original member. They were one of the premier harmonizing groups you will ever hear.
I know alot of people probably recommended this group to you but I can honestly say I was one of those people. Thank you. It was wonderful seeing your youthful reaction. Listen to their "Oh, Girl". I think it's their best song.
OH GIRL, TOBY, WRITE A LETTER TO MYSELF, COLDEST DAY OF MY LIFE, JUST TWO TEENAGE KIDS are all the Chi- Lites songs I grew -up listening to and I hope you guys get an chance to listen and possibly do reactions to these songs!
This caused a sensation on the radio in late 1971, because it's so good, and it's over 5 minutes long, and they played every second of it on the radio!!
It's not so much a song as a painting with music and voices; when I close my eyes, I could always feel like I was being pulled away into a picture that was capturing the feelings of a certain time and a certain experience... it's soul as baroque pop. Pure genius.
The group name is a take of Chicago Lights thus Chi-Lites. The lead singer is Eugene Record and this and some of their other songs are written by Eugene and his life. Eugene is the one in the white hat on the cover.
I am so glad you selected my request. The two i’s are a long sound. Long vowels. I am so glad you enjoyed it. Another one of their songs that was so popular was “Oh Girl”
😂 - most young people don’t even know what vowels and consonants are! -much less long and short vowels. 🤣 Actually, even though it makes me laugh, it’s really quite sad. The lack of basic education in the USA has become terribly concerning. 😢
I was born in 1950 ...... I feel so blessed to have grown up with Great Music and Singers through the 50s... 60s... 70s....and 80s.... BACK WHEN MUSIC WAS MUSIC .... REL MUSIC
This was such a great era in music. Early 70’s R&B just oozed that soulful groove that just sent one into another place. Those were such easy, groovin times. How can anyone not feel this music. Cuts through the body right into the soul. Love it!❤
Pronounced the "Shy Lights" (not really surprised Siri got it wrong). This R&B/Soul quartet is from my home town, Chicago! I was 11 when this came out in 1971 and I still know all the words. Great reaction guys! 🥰
They had all the moves too. It was mandatory! There is a Soul Train of them doing (well lip syncing to the track) this CLASSIC. You should check it. And thanks for doing the studio version here for us and you.
Great reaction! 😁 love the Chi-lites, (shy lights), I see you've always been falsetto lovers, another great falsetto group is Blue Magic, recommend "Side show". Thank you Peace! 🙏
LOVE this song! I got chills when I read the title! You guys have made me realize my eclectic taste! But reasonably, they played ALL the songs on the radio back in the day! you absolutely HAD to go buy the album! Great pick today! OH, GIRL is my MOST favorite!
Man so many memories, was definitely 1 of my favorites, we couldn't wait to race to the dance floor to ask the beautiful ladies to dance B4 we loose out, once we heard those 1st few beats, we were off to the races, man we were so lucky to have so many beautiful songs back then, & still to this day, all my great oldies, still make my heart melt, come on fellas, how do you think we wrote such beautiful love letters, 😁 all I can say is keep em coming...
That Motown Sound always sends me back to my old neighborhood... WABC, NYC... Looking out over the City from my bedroom window on the 18th floor of the newly constructed Wise Towers between 90th & 91st Streets on the Upper West Side... Each night before bed...gazing at the well-lit Empire State Building...how it rose above all the surrounding buildings...On Christmas, it's powerful lights would shine Red & Green...
Glorious 70's AM radio - hearing stuff like this and Al Green and Stevie Wonder mixed in with Deep Purple and BTO - that's how you cultivate musical appreciation!
So sorry you guys missed the heights of Motown in the 60s and 70s...great music! Once again, I feel blessed to grow up in the 60s and 7ps with great legends and genres of music. It's rare anyone or group can touch this today!
I was picturing their Soul Train performance of this song while listening, they had the moves; shade your eyes and look left, shade your eyes, look right, while singing, "Have you seen her?"
One of Chicago's best groups of 70's. This was their biggest and most memorable hit song from (1971). My goodness I was a 17-year-old junior in high school back then. At house parties this was the slow song we all danced to. Now I'm a 69-year-old senior citizen enjoying one of my favorite reaction couples playing a memory. The song never gets old...but we do! Awesome! Note: They had another great hit titled "OH Girl."
Pronounced “Shy- Lights”. Awesome song. Love it.
OMG Siri really screwed the pooch on that one!
Chi-Lites like Chi-Town, with a hard CH !!!
just found an interview with Marshall Thompson of the group. He was ok with the interviewer calling them the shy-lites. Marshall would know, or his memory is shot like everyone here 🤣
The remake was great too
Siri's drunk. 😅
If you liked this one, you have to check out their song "Oh Girl" - it will be so worth it. Love you guys ❤❤
That's just what I said! WOW!
Their other great hit is “Oh Girl”, well worth a listen!! Thanks as always!!
Was just about to mention this song for them to react to...
Haha! I said the same thing.
YES!!
Their biggest hit!
"oh girl" is one of my favourite songs, and i am pretty old and have heard a lot of music. 🙂
i think it might have been featured in a sopranos episode at one point. i think tony was driving around and listening to it. i could be mistaken.
Kenny Rogers said 70's R&B and Country Music was really the same type of music. Good story telling!
The 70's R & B groups: Stylistics. The Dramatics. The Spinners. Chi-lites....were all the soul groups carrying on that Motown sound and many of us Loved these groups...with lots of falsettos i their music. Good Reactions!!!
Oh my, my fave is The Dramatics song...What You See is what you get!
Blue Magic "Sideshow" & "Three Ring Circus"
I would add The Delfonics, The intruders, the stylistics we could go on and on😊
All good groups.❤
@@seanswinton6242hurry hurry step right on in.
My generation. I’m blessed to have been brought up with these smooth, timeless classics.
Jay & Amber, you will ABSOLUTELY LOVE their "Oh Girl" !!!!!!
Eugene Record on lead vocals, Brunswick Records, not Motown. its actually pronounced with a hard CH. CHI LITES, like CHI TOWN(Chicago where they are from)
The harmonica and strings on "Oh Girl" are simply heavenly.
Yeah they haven’t heard the Chi-Lights till Oh Girl
It's the "SHY-Lites!! Guys, Chicago's own.
The Chi-Lites
Everyone knows them for this classic, as it put them on the map, but "Oh Girl", their next single, was their biggest Billboard hit, and their second, and final Top 10 and only #1, in 1972.
"Have You Seen Her" reached #3 in the nation in 1971.
This ia a famous and beloved group from Chicago (Chi-Town), hence the name Chi-Lites. Along with Oh Girl, please check out A Letter To Myself.
My town! Southside!!!!!
The Theee Degrees " When Will I See You Again" A personal favorite. beautiful ladies, beautiful vocals/harmonies, beautiful lyrics.
"I thought I had her in the palm of my hand." - That's where he made his mistake. This song was huge when I was in high school. So fun to sing along with. Try 'Oh Girl' next.

This generation of soul singers were so so smooth ..
Like listening to velvet❤ Very soothing. Loved this era of music. Thank you so much for playing these great tunes 💕💕
What a Gem. And when you hear their biggest hit "Oh Girl" it will surely become one of your favorites.
Yes please react to Oh Girl! Takes me back to middle school. Such a gem!
I'm going to suggest yet again since you guys are digging the soul genre. The Manhattans, "Just Kiss And Say Goodbye". Also, The Floaters-"Float On" and some girl magic. The Three Degrees- "When Will I See You Again. There is definitely a bunch more
They've done the first 2. I don't know if they've done Three Degrees.
@@seanswinton6242 I've searched their channel and have never seen that they did The Manhattans or The Floaters. I'd like to see those if they actually did them.
I was so darn lucky to grow up during this era, So many phenomenal songs and genres. So glad you reacted to this classic!
Same here. I was a kid, but I have 4 older siblings. So I heard all of their music growing up plus the Rock and R&B I heard on my own.
Same…….we took this music for granted in the 70’s…..
When he hits that falsetto, I get chills. Such a great song. These 60’s & 70’s groups like The Spinners, Four Tops, Temptations, etc. we’re golden.
Some of the best harmonies you'll ever hear sung by some great voices.
They are named after their hometown of Chicago. Chicago lights is the literal translation. You know Chi - town. Jay should know this. Great song. Siri let you down.
Next up, Harold Melvin and the Blue Notes and the hit THE LOVE I LOST. Teddy Peddergrass is an amazing vocalist. Enjoy
Just another great group from the 70s that’s all the decade was the best😮
Any single by the Chi-Lites you know will be beautifully produced, with lots of detail, much like the Stylistics they were very underrated in the day.
They were giant in my world Richmond Va
I agree, very underated
Jay, you have it nailed. I have seen them perform and they do all the Motown dance moves when they sing. They, along with groups like the Spinners and the Temptations and the Coasters, etc., have led to the more modern acapella groups such as Pentatonix and Home Free. All of these groups had great harmonies and gave us some of the best music ever recorded.
This song is just as popular today (for us old heads) as it was when it came out decades ago!! I think there's only one original member still alive.
An Oldie, But a Goodie.
Great song! It’s one of those songs that takes you right back in time.
@@dianefurlong2911 No doubt
Oh yeah "Oh Girl" should be your next listen.
Love love love this song! I worked at a car plant near Detroit and to pass the time on the line a Brother named Luther and I would sing this song and many others he couldn’t believe I knew all these soul songs ! Great memories ! Love you two keep it up !

Reminds me of summer picnics in the seventies.
CHI short for CHICAGO also known as CHI(shy) town. I grew up with this band. The " A Lonely Man" album is classic.
OH GIRL, next please!!❤❤😊oh how this brings back memories. But I love Oh Girl. Close to my heart ❤

Another great group multiple hits from a forgotten era of great singing groups with great harmony
Such a great song.
Oh Girl is one of my favorite songs of all time.
I love this song. The talking in a love song. Talking is the high on Harold Melvin And The Blue Notes “I Miss You.” Y’all have done them before.
"OH, GIRL" is ANOTHER GREAT HIT from them too !!! 👏🏼
I know alot of people probably recommended this group to you but I can honestly say I was one of those people. Thank you. It was wonderful seeing your youthful reaction. Listen to their "Oh, Girl". I think it's their best song.

Had a neighbor way back when who used to sing TOBY all the time.
The Chi-Lites are legends!!!! Lots of variety of songs.
This caused a sensation on the radio in late 1971, because it's so good, and it's over 5 minutes long, and they played every second of it on the radio!!
Chi lites means Chicago Lights
Kind people are my kind of people … BOBCATS!
Chi like sky & lites like lights
From the UK ...Flippin adored this song ... X I'm now 62
Wow, this song hits the sweet spot. Thanks, guys.
One of the great harmony groups and songs.... of the 70s. Period.
It's not so much a song as a painting with music and voices; when I close my eyes, I could always feel like I was being pulled away into a picture that was capturing the feelings of a certain time and a certain experience... it's soul as baroque pop. Pure genius.
Man all these youngsters don't know what they were missing in the 60s and 70s
I’ll Say!!!!! ❤ Me Some
CHI-LITES!
Shy Lights (Chi as in Chi Town)
One of the best This brings me back.
Now you're cooking on gas one of our great 70's bands!
The Chi-Lites were the GOAT at harmonizing and still are today!
The group name is a take of Chicago Lights thus Chi-Lites. The lead singer is Eugene Record and this and some of their other songs are written by Eugene and his life. Eugene is the one in the white hat on the cover.
Amber, you are correct the 70's the best music
I feel old when Jay says his grandfather used to watch a show called 'Cheers' and Amber says she vaguely remembers hearing about it.
Indeed, the "Shy-Lites" Iconic group!
I am so glad you selected my request. The two i’s are a long sound. Long vowels. I am so glad you enjoyed it. Another one of their songs that was so popular was “Oh Girl”
😂 - most young people don’t even know what vowels and consonants are! -much less long and short vowels. 🤣
Actually, even though it makes me laugh, it’s really quite sad. The lack of basic education in the USA has become terribly concerning. 😢
@@jillcampbell8019 Ahhhhh dude........harshed my mellow.
Jill, Amber and Jay are teachers and coaches. That’s why I mentioned it.
I used to listen to this song under the covers with a cheap little transistor radio as a kid. It brings back a lot of memories…
YESSSS!!!! SUCH A GREAT SONG!
Eugene Record was the lead singer of this Chicago ("Chi") group. Their other classic hit is "Oh Girl" (#1 in 1972).
If I remember correctly their name (pronounced shy-lights) comes from their hometown of Chicago.
The lead singer was Eugene Record, the one in white on the right of the album cover
The chi - lites where huge on Soul train back in the day !!
I loved Soul Train back in the day. Way more than American Bandstand, although that was a good one too.
One of my top 20 songs of my life is the Chi-lites “ You don’t have to go” a 70s classic at its best …
The 70's was "THE BOMB!!!" This is such a lovely "slow-dance" vibe!!!
I was born in 1950 ...... I feel so blessed to have grown up with Great Music and Singers through the 50s... 60s... 70s....and 80s.... BACK WHEN MUSIC WAS MUSIC .... REL MUSIC
The Chi-Lites and The Delphonics were a STAPLE on the Hi-Fi growing up ❤
This was such a great era in music. Early 70’s R&B just oozed that soulful groove that just sent one into another place. Those were such easy, groovin times. How can anyone not feel this music. Cuts through the body right into the soul. Love it!❤
There's a comedian by the name of Sinbad. He once lip synced this song, with a hysterical performance. 😂
Btw, it's pronounced "The Shy Lights". 😃
First thing I think of any time I hear this song 😅
Sinbad did an awesome job with that!!
Still a beautiful song. One of my favourites back in the day.
Pronounced the "Shy Lights" (not really surprised Siri got it wrong). This R&B/Soul quartet is from my home town, Chicago! I was 11 when this came out in 1971 and I still know all the words. Great reaction guys! 🥰
They had all the moves too. It was mandatory! There is a Soul Train of them doing (well lip syncing to the track) this CLASSIC. You should check it. And thanks for doing the studio version here for us and you.
Great reaction! 😁 love the Chi-lites, (shy lights), I see you've always been falsetto lovers, another great falsetto group is Blue Magic, recommend "Side show". Thank you Peace! 🙏
Oh my goodness! That one will blow his mind!
I recommend that too. Also "Three Rung Circus"
If I could thumbs-up this comment million times, I would!
@@lovinlorne And speaking of blowing his mind, you should add Didn't I (Blow Your Mind This Time) by The Delfonics to that list as well.
Yes, I've suggested Side Show many times. That "hurry, hurry" I think is the highest falsetto note in human history (or seems like it!)
There are some songs that just ease into your ears like butter, no bumps or jumps, just smooth smooth soul. ✌️
LOVE this song! I got chills when I read the title! You guys have made me realize my eclectic taste! But reasonably, they played ALL the songs on the radio back in the day! you absolutely HAD to go buy the album! Great pick today! OH, GIRL is my MOST favorite!
Man so many memories, was definitely 1 of my favorites, we couldn't wait to race to the dance floor to ask the beautiful ladies to dance B4 we loose out, once we heard those 1st few beats, we were off to the races, man we were so lucky to have so many beautiful songs back then, & still to this day, all my great oldies, still make my heart melt, come on fellas, how do you think we wrote such beautiful love letters, 😁 all I can say is keep em coming...
Chi-Lites is pronounced Shy Lights. They are as smooth as butter on a warm crumpet.
Love the Motown moves Jay!! Great reaction 😂
I must have laughed for a half and hour over the "She Lites!" Damn funny...Love you guys Jay & Amber....😎
That Motown Sound always sends me back to my old neighborhood...
WABC, NYC...
Looking out over the City from my bedroom window on the 18th floor of the newly constructed Wise Towers between 90th & 91st Streets on the Upper West Side...
Each night before bed...gazing at the well-lit Empire State Building...how it rose above all the surrounding buildings...On Christmas, it's powerful lights would shine Red & Green...
"Oh girl" is def worth a reaction, definitely listen to it, i think its pronounced "shy-lights" lol
Glorious 70's AM radio - hearing stuff like this and Al Green and Stevie Wonder mixed in with Deep Purple and BTO - that's how you cultivate musical appreciation!
You are SO right! I'm an old man now, but so happy to have grown up in the best era of music ever
This is what music used to sound like. I miss it so much! A suggestion to listen to: Float on by the FLOATERS.
Simply beautiful. Great slow dancing song!❤
A lot of groups like the Chi-Lites would have appeared on shows like Soul Train so there are probably clips of them doing the songs and performing.
Soul Train had so many epic performances!
So sorry you guys missed the heights of Motown in the 60s and 70s...great music! Once again, I feel blessed to grow up in the 60s and 7ps with great legends and genres of music. It's rare anyone or group can touch this today!
I was picturing their Soul Train performance of this song while listening, they had the moves; shade your eyes and look left, shade your eyes, look right, while singing, "Have you seen her?"
One of Chicago's best groups of 70's. This was their biggest and most memorable hit song from (1971). My goodness I was a 17-year-old junior in high school back then. At house parties this was the slow song we all danced to. Now I'm a 69-year-old senior citizen enjoying one of my favorite reaction couples playing a memory. The song never gets old...but we do! Awesome!
Note: They had another great hit titled "OH Girl."
I tjink "Oh Girl" was bigger.
Think
I *totally* forgot about this song… but it was buried in my brain, and I was singing along! Thanks for this one! ❤
Being a young teenager hearing this fantastic song out of radio 📻 judt blew everything away top class and course sad emotions in it
