About The Chi-lites:
The group was formed at Hyde Park High School in Chicago during the late 1950s as the Chanteurs. Eugene Record, Robert ''Squirrel'' Lester, and Clarence Johnson was in the Chanteurs. They later teamed up with Marshall Thompson and Creadel ''Red'' Jones of the Desideros to form the Hi-lites. Noting that the name Hi-lites was already in use. The singers wanted to add a tribute to their hometown of Chicago. The group finally changed their name to ''The Chi-lites'' in 1964. Clarence Johnson left the group later that year.
Super mega success came in 1971 and 1972, ''Have You Seen Her'' and ''Oh Girl,'' the latter becoming a Number 1 single on the Billboard Hot 100 in 1972. Each song sold millions copies and was awarded a Gold Disc by the RIAA. Many hit songs followed including (For God's Sake) Give More Power to the People, A Letter to Myself, Coldest Days of My Life, Stoned Out of My Mind, Give it Away, Lonely Man, Toby, and many more.
The group's fame began during the early 1970s. They were led by Eugene Record, and scored eleven top ten Billboard singles from 1969 to 1974. Robert ''Squirrel'' Lester and Creadel ''Red'' Jones were the other original members.
