Tracks:

too good to be forgotten
oh girl
have you seen her?
i found sunshine
i like your lovin' (do you like mine?)
(for God's sake) give more power to the people
we need order
there will never be any peace (until God is seated at the conference table)
we are neighbours
stoned out of my mind
homely girl
you don't have to go
yes i'm ready (if i don't get to go)
the devil is going to work
toby
half a love
the coldest days of my life (album version)

Tracks:

give it away
a letter to myself
you got to be the one
that's how long
it's time for love
let me be the man my daddy was
are you my woman? (tell me so)
a lonely man
the man and the woman (the boy and the girl)
i want to pay you back (for loving me)
troubles a-comin'
too late to turn back now
don't burn no bridges
here i am
24 hours of sadness
12th of never
i lied

Tracks:

love uprising
inner city blues
i heard it through the grapevine
my whole world ended
i'm going to make you love me
ain't too much of nothin'
love comes in all sizes
i never had it so good (and felt so bad)
my heart just keeps on breakin'
living in the footsteps of another man
just two teenage kids (still in love)
i'm not a gambler
happiness is your middle name
the sound of lonely
i forgot to say i love you till i'm gone
take a trip to the island

Great boxed set too good to be deleted..........2005-08-02

Sadly, "Too Good To Be Forgotten" has been deleted. When used "marketplace" copies become available, they fetch a hefty price. Good news, though - the same label (Demon/Edsel) has issued an even better deal - two sets totalling four CD's compiling every track from the Chi-Lites' eight LP's for Brunswick - plus bonus tracks! Search for "Complete Chi-Lites On Brunswick." You can thank me later....

Songs God made to blossom forever ( EVERGREENS ).......2001-03-11

The Chi-Lites are one of the best groups out there and I know this because I have all of their recordings and i've personally worked on the same stage with them in the 70's. Songs like Oh Girl, The Coldest Days of My Life and many others will always be around and I think everyone should own them in their collection.

CLASSIC SOUL LIVES ON!!!.......2000-09-24

The Chi-lites never sounded better than on the 3 disc from TOO GOOD TO BE FORGOTTEN. The harmony, orchestrations, and phrasing of lead singer Eugene Record will immediately take you back to younger days. If you don't sing along with this group, you're soul-less. You will never tire of this great music.

Comprehensive collection of outstanding music.......2000-02-14

Eugene Record's writing and singing during the Chi-Lites' time at Brunswick was consistently brilliant. This comprehensive collection includes not just the hits but many less well known treasures - check out "I've never had it so good", for example. Sound quality is excellent too. A must for any self-respecting soul music fan.
