Too Good to Be Forgotten: The Best of the Chi-Lites

£9.99

Released: 18th March 2022. Although they had formed nine years earlier, it was only when the band met record producer Carl Davis in 1968 that they signed a contract with Brunswick Records. They began to achieve commercial recognition and success, with songs predominantly written and composed by band member Eugene Record, who was also their lead singer The Chi-Lites released more than 15 studio albums and registered on the UK chart on nine occasions, with five Top 10 entries, one of them being the Double-A sided reissue 'Have You Seen Her'/'Oh Girl'. This 38-track, 2 CD set covers the period 1969-1983 and includes all of their UK hits, as well as most of their international hits. The collection ends in the hard-to-find early-'80s UK soul weekender classic 'Changing for You', which proved that even in the changing musical landscape, The Chi-Lites were still a force more than a dozen years after their first charting UK single, and more than 40 years later, with their barn-storming 'Are You My Woman (Tell Me So)', the intro from which, being famously and expertly sampled by Beyonce (and featuring Jay-Z), for her worldwide 2003 hit and Transatlantic #1, 'Crazy In Love'.
