The Chi-Lites (pronounced "SHY-lights"; in IPA, pronounced /ˈʃaɪlaɪts/) are a Chicago based smooth soul vocal group. Allmusic journalist, Stephen Thomas Erlewine, states "led by vocalist Eugene Record, the Chi-Lites had a lush, hearty sound distinguished by their four-part harmonies and layered productions. During the early 1970s, they racked up 11 Top 10 U.S. R&B singles, ranging from the romantic ballads "Have You Seen Her" and "Oh Girl" to protest songs like "(For God's Sake) Give More Power to the People" and "There Will Never Be Any Peace (Until God Is Seated at the Conference Table)." All the songs featured Record's warm, pleading tenor and falsetto, and the majority of the group's hits were written by Record, often in collaboration with other songwriters like Barbara Acklin."
