Hate giving cred to Chicago...but I bow to Chi Lites

Seymouro
The Chi Lites were a R&B band out of Chicago in the early 1970's that were credited with... of all things, augmenting the "Philly" sound (whatever that is, I think of Sly Stone, of "Sly and the Family..."), but categorizing is done at one's own peril.

I just know that the vocals and harmonizing are s-o-o outstanding that it merits big-time recognition.

Right Chelios?

2nd video...from :45 until 1:05...the 3 dudes in the background...priceless.  Watch how the dude on the right screws up the groovy move right at 1:05.

What he said plus the outfits are A W E S O M E.

Ghi-Lites = Chicago-Lites.... never got that until the Chicago reference in the thread title, just like the Chi-Town Hustler funny car from the 70's

Too funny Joe.

The song is excellent, the moves good (at times), lip-synch way out of sync.

Sure wish that today's pop artists were writing & performing great songs like these!  I haven't heard them in years.  Thanks Dave!

Yes, Cheli would agree!
