The 80s had tons of synth I understand what you're saying but let's not be ignorant my guy synth has been around since the 70s put back in them days they use the same like an instrument
Love these guys and this song! Makes me remember my high school years in the early and mid 70’s. Grew up about 20 miles from Hyde Park (South Chicago) where these guys were from and formed. Brings back some nice teenage memories 😁😉 Thanks guys!!
Yours is the reaction I'm looking for and love. When these songs first came out, my tears wouldn't stop. I loved people and had a heart for those locked in sorrow. The music did that to me. There's more to this song, listen to the album, here.
Oh yes I was singing along I knew every word. It's a deep rabbit hole of soul just keep going. Listen to Tavares singing heaven must be missing an angel
They were from Chicago, thus the Name Chi-Lites! This is one of the BEST SONGS Of the 1970’s a GEM!! They also had Another Great Song I Would Recommend. Have you Seen Her? Their Great Singer Was Eugene Record!
This song is from their album 'A Lonely Man' released in the Summer of 1972 when I turned 13. My cousin had the 8 track in his car and we used to cruise around with him. The entire album is amazing. This was the BEST Summer of my life, and this album was the soundtrack. I saw them when I was 15 and it was a thrill!! I still cannot listen to their music without happy tears🤗🎵😍
"Oh Girl" by The Chi-Lites is a heartfelt ballad about a man's utter dependence on the love and support of his partner. The lyrics suggest that without her, he would be lost and unable to find love on his own. The first and fifth verses express how much trouble the protagonist would be in if his girl left him, as he would be unable to find love elsewhere. The second verse speaks to how crucial his girl's love is and how she has always been there for him when he needed it. The bridge reveals that the protagonist's friends consider him foolish, urging him to rely on his partner instead of trying to be independent. Despite this advice, the protagonist still feels lost without his girl. The third verse expresses how out of place he would be without her, saying he doesn't know what to do, and his guilty face reflects his insincerity. The fourth verse describes his resolve to leave because he feels like it may be the best course of action, and he hopes that it will save him from the pain of being left. However, the protagonist ultimately concludes that no one could replace his girl's love, and he remains helpless and directionless without her. The song highlights the importance of having someone to rely on in life and the difficulty of finding love when it is lost.
I lost love of my life 34 yrs ago she was one. I was supose be with all my life there no t a day goes by that i do not think bout her how much i still love her like i did back than knowing i will never see her or hear her voice again took me 3 yrs go back to dating and it was never same with anyone again thats how it feels when you lose your true llove
Yes I knew this about Obama I used to says. He said so much and never understood what he said . Now I know I'm not the only one. God bless you I was born in 1961 so I've been political since I was a child ,I would sit and watch the new since I was 10 or q2 I read biographies history especially American history. Blessings.
Can you react to Milestone's I Care about you (live- Oprah show)? The group was formed for the Movie soundtrack for Soul Food. It's a supergroup (Jodeci, After 7 (Babyface's brothers and Babyface.

Can you react to Milestone's I Care about you (live- Oprah show)? The group was formed for the Movie soundtrack for Soul Food. It's a supergroup (Jodeci, After 7 (Babyface's brothers and Babyface.
Crowd can,t help me now,listening 2 the crowd n so cal friends,SO LONELY NOW,NO WHERE 2 GO R WHO 2 SEE
I know that feeling..I lost the love of my life 💔 and I can't love another woman so I just stay to myself at home..😢
Not sure why you guys are reacting to this rather than Homely Girl (which has to be one of their top 2 singles alongside have you seen her)?
You lost the love of your life because you were listening to your "no count" friends.
