The Chi-Lites featuring Marshall Thompson Coldest Days of My Life Dedicated to his Co-Partners Eugene Records, Robert "Squirrel: Lester, & Creadel "Red" Jones
What a wonderful way to tell the guys how much you miss them. Your the only original left that I guess is a blessing that we still have you. God Bless.
You are singing this beautifully, Marshall. Bless you "Last Man Standing". Sing on in their memories! And Frank Reed also passed. Great tribute to them! RIP. Eugene, Squirrel, & Red.....and Frank. 🎶🕊❣
Damn, makes me want to cry. Memories of women in my life I lost. And, the sadness of Marshall losing his best group buddies a d all those memories before they got famous and up to now. I neve r saw him lead. Sounds great.
When I first heard this song it touched my heart. In 2013 this song came to mind when I buried my brother in January of that year. it was cold as hell at the cemetery when we buried him and that's just the way I felt numb,cold and helpless. I miss you my brother, I miss you my friend, until we meet again.
Wow, hearing Marshall sing this song and mentioning his departed singing mates sent chills through my body. He sang this song with so much emotions. The Chi-Lites is one of my all time favorite groups (a tossup with the Stylistics and Spinners). Thank you so much for posting.
omg 58 yrs old guy from the uk just broke down never seen such an emotional song jeeez god rest those amazing men jsut to go back would be great even for an hour
I miss these guys... I'm cryin now...it hurts so bad o g... I love this... Marshall bless your heart...Thank you for keeping real music alive. Thank you so much.. The 70s and 80s music Will always be in my 💓.
Listening to the Chi-lites brought back my 13year old self...Oh let me beThe man my daddy was, brought tears to my eyes. My daddy was THAT kind of man!
Marshall sang that song and most of their lead songs I grew up with their music I am now 56 and still love the beautiful music from back then they where what u call the Greatest '!
+Rosetta Avery , Eugene Record was the LEAD first tenor, whose falcetto was on much of the Chi-Lites songs. Squirrel was also a second tenor who sang in some of the songs, but mostly it was Eugene. Eugene wrote & co-wrote many of the songs, was an instrumentalist and produced and arranged the music. Marshall was basically the manager & director of chorography and played the harmonica and sang background vocals and sometimes had a short solo in older songs, as Power To The People. Marshall is now singing lead on this song, originally sung by Eugene, because Marshall is the last one alive of the originals.
Ann Clarke , Eugene was the Original lead on OH GIRL. When the song came out, I was already grown. th-cam.com/video/oM7QN5OkUMA/w-d-xo.html Here’s Eugene Record Original leading on the song COLDEST DAYS : th-cam.com/video/Z56Q_M3LxHI/w-d-xo.html
Tears.. So beautiful Marshall . You sound amazing ! Always honoring your brothers Gene, Squirrel, and Red.... The Best group of All Time ... Chi-lites Timeless Treasures .. Thank you for the music that touches our souls xoxo
Sad but what a beautiful musical legacy. The Chi-Lites will always be one of the greatest groups ever. Part of the soundtrack to my teenage years ... and crushes! 😊💛
WOW GEE WIZ WHEN I HEARD THIS FOR THE FIRST TIME it hurts and hurts you'll never know how much you really loved someone until they are gone yes we still have to keep on living I'm living proof that if I you can keep your head up 🙂
This song brought me through the cold days living in Oakridge, TN ... my true love was in school in Johnson City, TN. I would see her when she came home on breaks. This was the song (Have You Seen Her, A Lonely Man) The Chi - Lites
I've lost 4 of my former band members over the years. It would be tough taking a stage without them, but he's been singing for 5 decades...not like Eugene Record, but much respect anyway.
I watch this often. So very well done, then and now. Thank you! Five years later (2024) and I enjoy this more and more with each viewing. Marshall has an incredible voice. It has not dwindled with age.
One of the chi.lites biggest hits i love this song i do it in my show hard to believe half of the chi.lites are gone my favorite group love the all rest in peace
This is you Marshall always introducing your beloved forever friends and companions and beautiful amazing attractive lady. It brings tears listening to your voice singing this song. Sending love to you 😎🖐💜❤💔😘
Marshall this is very nice and heartfelt. My tears are rolling. Thank you for keeping the Chi-Lites music alive. You are a true driving force in the music industry. AKA DJ Wonder Woman / Wonder Marketing & Referral Service. www.wondermarketing.net

What a tribute
Yes they were one powerful group. I'm from Detroit, but I loved the sounds of Chicago...Chilites, the Radiants Jerry Butler, the Impressions.
I miss Gene, Squirrel and Red, but I'm glad Marshall is still around to give us that trademark melodic sound in 2014. God bless you Marshall!
This man is making me cry😢
You are singing this beautifully, Marshall. Bless you "Last Man Standing". Sing on in their memories! And Frank Reed also passed. Great tribute to them! RIP. Eugene, Squirrel, & Red.....and Frank. 🎶🕊❣
reminds me of the Scottie brothers, beautiful soul joint
"lord, take away the pain... " Amazing stuff to hear as a young teen. This group was awesome. Power to the Chi-lites!
Damn, makes me want to cry. Memories of women in my life I lost. And, the sadness of Marshall losing his best group buddies a d all those memories before they got famous and up to now. I neve r saw him lead. Sounds great.
I lost touch with this group's music, God bless those who are not here...God bless those who are...Thank them all...
God gift to us was the chi lites.

Pops got the voice and the moves.
Have you seen her is really good. But I think Coldest Days of My Life is their best song.
Wow, hearing Marshall sing this song and mentioning his departed singing mates sent chills through my body. He sang this song with so much emotions. The Chi-Lites is one of my all time favorite groups (a tossup with the Stylistics and Spinners). Thank you so much for posting.
