5 out of 5 stars The Best of The Chi-Lites.......2007-03-09

The CD was in excellent condition, a good addition to my collection.

1 out of 5 stars Brunswick.......2007-03-09

Can you help me find the original recording on "Stoned Out of My Mind" by the Chi-Lites. Most of the C.D.'s are the Brunswick re-recordings. Thankyou.

Russell M. Wilson Jr.

5 out of 5 stars All the big British and American hits.......2005-03-21

Hailing from Chicago, the Chi-Lites took a while to find success but their efforts eventually proved worthwhile. Eugene Record, a singer-songwriter-producer, dominated the group, which achieved an American breakthrough hit with Give it away in 1969 although they did not enter the British charts until 1971, when they had a minor UK hit with For God's sake give more power to the people - a very different record from the soulful ballads that they are best remembered for.

1972 proved to be a big year for the Chi-Lites, yielding Have you seen her (a top three hit in Britain and America) and Oh girl (a number one American hit, though only a top twenty UK hit). Their last major American hit came with Homely girl but (after a slow start) their success in the UK continued until 1976. Homely girl, It's time for love and You don't have to go all made the UK top five, as did a re-issue of Have you seen her (just over three years after its original chart run).

This compilation contains all the important Chi-Lites hits from both sides of the Atlantic.

NOTE - This review is posted on more than one Best of Chi-Lites CD. My review refers to the British compilation on the Kent label.

1 out of 5 stars Sound Bites!!.......2000-08-19

I agree with the last review. This recording is terrible!! The sound quality is horrendous. I should have sent it back upon receipt.

1 out of 5 stars This is a shell game ..........2000-06-08

This is a RERECORDING of the music. DO NOT BUY THIS unless you want ridiculous "digitally recorded in 1995" versions of great songs. It sounds absolutely terrible.
