5 out of 5 stars SOUL GROUP CLASSIC.......2007-06-23

ALL TIME CLASSIC BEST OF CD , EVERY TRACK I LIKE ALOT , THEY WERE ANOTHER SUPER SOUL GROUP FOR THE 70'S SEEK THIS OUT ......TIMELESS

4 out of 5 stars I hear something a bit different.......2006-11-10

This is an enjoyable compilation. The Chi Lites were a second tiered group, they were a quality soul group yet they did not have as many hits as the Temptations, Four Tops or other more prominent groups.

What I like about them is that, out of completely nowhere, they would inject these psychodelic and fuzzed out guitar riffs, the phatest bass lines of the era and I love that guy with the deep, I mean DEEP voice. He was an instrument all by himself.

The ballads are nice, but the songs like "Have you Seen Her", with its crazy fuzzed out, introductory guitar tone, is what gets me going. "Power to the People" is another psychodelic song. Don't miss "Are you my woman" which is the song Beoyance sampled for her hit "Crazy in love"!

This group went a bit against the grain which I like.

5 out of 5 stars A terrific collection.......2006-03-08

If you're like I was, you probably know "Oh Girl" and "Have You Seen Her" and have acknowledged that they're great songs, but you secretly suspect the Chi-Lites of being something of a one-hit wonder (okay, a two-hit wonder). Then you will be pleasantly surprised to discover that nothing could be further from the truth. This compilation is full of great songs, and not just in the "Oh Girl-Have You Seen Her" variety. There's also a good bit of early funk to go with the soul. Most importantly, it's all worthwhile. The Chi-Lites concentrated on the three most important things (as far as I'm concerned) in pop music: Melody, harmony and lyrics. They nail them all. "We Are Neighbors", "Let Me Be the Man My Daddy Was", "Stoned out of My Mind", "Homely Girl", "Give More Power to the People" are splendid examples, but I could include every song on this compilation. And, as other reviewers have noted, the sound quality is superb, crystal-clear. I frequently spin around to see if Eugene Record is standing behind me. No, it's just the CD. If you have any affection for the sweet sound of 60s and 70s soul, buy this record, and you'll be well rewarded.

4 out of 5 stars Chicago Lite.......2005-12-20

They may not as been as popular as other similar groups of the day but the group that started out as Marshall & the Chi-lites found their niche in pop history. When you first heard the heartfelt wailings of "Oh Girl" or "Have You Seen Her" or the Rare Earth sounding "(For God's Sake) Give More Power to the People" we were hooked. We didn't know much about the politics of such songs back then when they were released, we just knew what we liked. We liked the Chi-lites. And still do.

5 out of 5 stars For God's Sake..........2005-08-20

Give more power to the people! If you know the Chi-lites, you know that song. Talk about classic soul! The fantastic Chi-lites didn't get as much recognition as other early smooth, 70's crooners..but they could hold a note with the best of them. From their fab-u-lous harmony on "Oh Girl," to their smash vocal performance on the hit "Have You Seen Her."

But if you dig deeper, you'll find other gems like the fantastic cut "Write A Letter to Myself," and one of my favs: "I Want to Pay You Back for Loving Me." The intro lyrics and high vocals are unforgettable: "I'm gonna give you you a 5lb box of love, with a million dollar bill on top, diamonds on every corner and a big black pearl for a lock, use my heart for a key." Can you say classic! Other stellar, stand out, poignant, touching heartfelt cuts are: "Coldest Days of My Life" and "Toby!" The former always bought me to tears when I was younger. I thought it a most beautiful and deeply touching song and still do.

These guys had ultra harmony and rhythmic skills. You definitely need to add them to your old school but still sounds good collection, along with the Delfonics, the Main Ingredient, the Stylistics, the Temprees, the Dramatics and the Originals.

        1 out of 5 stars have you seen her: Their Greatest Hits.......2001-11-14

        This album is a collection of some very bad re-recordings of their hits. Save your money and your ears by staying for away from this album. The Chi-Lites are one of the great soul groups of the 70s and if you want to hear the true recordings of all their hits, you have to get their BRUNSWICK recordings. All their hits were on Brunswick and the quality is out of this world. The CHI-LITES 20 GREATEST HITS is the album I would recomend.

        2 out of 5 stars Have You Seen Her: Their Greatest Hits.......1999-12-30

        To any and all "true" Chi-Lites or Eugene Record fans,

        This album containing the phase of greatest hits or best of... in its title should not be used because it is misleading. This album in particular although contain a few solid hits does not do the group justice. This album is only but a sparkle of the real brilliance of what the Chi-Lites have to offer. Please, please, please, consider the "Too Good To Be Forgotten" BOX collaboration as your only option. This BOX collection really and truly defines the superb talents of Eugene Record and the group. There are so many vintage songs that only could be found on LP's, but now can be appreciated again on CD.

        Do not sell yourself short.......Get the real deal! You will thank me for it, but more importantly you will THANK YOURSELF for doing the right thing.
