    • @nancywood9531
      @nancywood9531 3 роки тому +3

      Eugene Record did record this and he was lead singer of group...Robert' " Squirrel"' Marshall, Red , and Eugene for all the recordings until he left the group. Then Robert Lester sang Eugenes songs and Marshall did the " talking " songs Eugene made famous. They did a great job keeping the Chi.Lites touring. Frank Reed took Reds place when he quit for health reasons. Fantastic group but Marshall is last man Standing. 🎶🎤🎶

    They all 4 actually sang and recorded all songs singing harmony and backup for Eugene.
    Unlike the Stylistics who weren't singing backup for Russell Thompkins . Record producers replaced the Stylistics stage performers with pro singers on the recordings.
    All ChiLite voices were good enough to record with their lead singer.and they did...sounding fabulous. Great group. 🎶❣🎶

      @UNbowed62 8 років тому +4

      +Big Maka , Yes indeed they are definitely epic and I never get tired of listening to them (real music) ever since the late very early 70s. Squirrel was definitely a showman and did sound a bit like Eugene. I can pick his voice out in many of their very early cuts. Missing them tremendously as a bonifide group. Thanks for posting :)
