    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.

All of these groups had great harmonies and gave us some of the best music ever recorded.

    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 …

    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". 😃

    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.

      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!)

    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...

    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."
