The temptations get so much credit an is always regarded as the greatest, that other groups get placed in the background, like The Chi-Lites, The Dramatics, The Delfonics, The Intruders, The Stylistics, The Manhattans, The Moments, Harold Melvin and The Blue Notes, The Spinners, Blue Magic, and others. They had great sounds and classics too. Thanks to shows like Unsung, it gave these groups a spotlight to tell their story and make them popular again and thanks to KZread as well. The Chilites need to be inducted into the Rock n Roll Hall of Fame for real.

You listed every single one of the groups I grew up listening to. What was wonderful about that time period is that there was room for EVERYONE to do their own thing. And they could ALL sing their butts off. There was no auto-tune, no lip syncing on TV when they got on a show - they all sang live. They were classy, had their dance moves, and did REAL harmony. There was no electronic assistance from a harmonizer device - these people really sang. And I loved them ALL!

The Chi-lites should be in the rock and roll hall of Fame just for "Have You Seen Her" alone. This is one of the coldest and saddest songs of the 20th century and of all time. 2nd to none except maybe "Oh Girl".

And Handsome.

This more makes me sense when you’re not so young anymore. Pushing 40 and I still haven’t seen her.

Who ever marked thumbs down clearly does not know what good music is. The peaceful music the good times as Robert" Squirrel" Lester of The Chi lites" once said. Missed that time by age, but love it now just the same.

These guys sang like angels!

There will never be another group like the chi lites featuring eugene record.

What happened to MUSIC? Good old days were really Good

SOUL MUSIC!!! Flip Wilson was the the first brother to have his own variety show in my life.

Sally Kirk , Sorry. No wigs back then. Black men & women’s source of pride was to sport REAL Afros. No fake shit like today’s. Marshall & all of ‘em had thick healthy hair. I’ve seen them & other groups many times back in the early 70s. They were the Real Deal. Hair curled up & rolled up. Afros were washed, oiled (greased) Bush-Combed & “pick”-out & sometimes packed down. They’d come out on stage in full Afros, performed & sweated. They even let us “pat” their ‘Fros while giving autographs. 🎶💕🥰

I couldn't agree more

Now that is soul ❤

Man, These cats were not only good, they were great!! Them , the Stylistics, Delfonics, I could go on naming groups but I would take up a whole page . We use to have the best music of all times. Just my opinion.

Was it re released in 75,76 as I remember it played in one of the first discos i went to
