The Chi-Lites: The Windy City Sound
Roger St. Pierre, NME, 24 June 1972
IF ANY outfit holds serious aspirations to usurping the Temptation's crown as the world's leading soul group then it must surely be Chicago's Chi-Lites who made a big impact with the strident '(For God's Sake) Give More Power To The People' then smoothed it down to hit the top rungs of the chart ladder with the subtle 'Have You Seen Her' and are currently doing very nicely with 'Oh Girl'.
