I am 76 years old and this music is the very best.Todays so called music does not even come close to the Chi Ltes.Thank you so much for playing this song.
My favorite Chi-Lites song is Have You Seen Her
I love that song, too.
Ann Priddy oh mine too
Shirley Bailey Yes they did
Ann Priddy mine also
Awesome song!
This is the music that I grew up with nobody writes music like this anymore
sad but true
Well most of the popular songs that are on the mainstream radio are written by only handful of writers so they all go by a simple formula. It's a shame there is very little deviation in mainstream music.
@@johnglue1744 all todays sound the same no soul or harmonies
ChiLites, Delfonics, Spinners/Detroit Spinners, The Persuaders, Stylistics, the Main Ingredient, the Five Stairsteps. All made music of a similar vein. That early/mid 70s classic r&b pop record that is just unbeatable.
I agree 100%! Some of the best groups ever to record. Smooth harmonies and classic style. The groups today should take lessons from these groups on how to perform with class!
Please don't forget the Temptations . . .
Don't forget about The Three Degrees as well.
The "Philly Soul" of the 70s picked up where Motown left off.
Billy Paul me and mrs Jones Al Wilson - show and tell. The delegation oh honey The floaters! Al green!! Bloodstone natural high ! Omg the early 70’s were something un beatable
I certainly agree with you to the absolute fulness, my personal favourite were the dells 👍
I'm 67 and when this song came out it became my instant favorite,
When people could sing and lyrics had meaning.
Jus' wonderin'... do people still 'slow dance'?
this is pure old school they dont make music like this any more
Yes but this is a great smoocher on the dance floor , all these motown and philly sound groups dressed so chic and suave.
Older music has something that is missing now days.
It's talent!
I love the oldies and listen to them alot , I'm 57 and I have great music from every decade since the 70's, I think the difference is in the 70's there was talent everywhere just one great band after another and now there is some great talent you just have to explore and it's a bit harder to find ...♡
Yeah , soul and feeling.
Talent
I will echo many of the comments here: they had talent and soul. I miss those years of my youth. I was a teenager in the 70s and I miss them.
THIS IS A GREAT SONG! THE OTHER ONE THEY DID WAS SIMILAR IS, "HAVE YOU SEEN HER"....THAT'S WHAT WE CALL GROWN FOLKS MUSIC!!
One of my absolute favorites in the 70’s. ❤️ Nothing Ike the R&B groups of the 60’s & 70’s. They were the first “boy bands”. They were so smooth in voice and style. Absolutely love them!
Yes, good ole throw-back my favorite from the Chi Lites is Have You Seen Her.
Hasn't been music like this for decades. Music you can feel.
Music from the soul! Best music was back in the day ❤️
Ah, it don't get no sweeter. Grew up listening to music like this, I was so blessed. 🥰💜💚💛✌️
I did too and I was too. Lol
Miss Laveau me too!
the heyday of early 70s soul.....grew up on this stuff
This music takes me right back to my youth, growing up in the 70's, beautiful words, music and fabulous voices, never heard this record of theirs but love it all the same
I loved the Chilites they were my favourites in the 70s, I’m showing my age but I don’t care 🤣
I'm with you. Takes me back to high school!
I'm 70 next month. Take me back.
Add me in there. I'm 65. These are my teenage memories!
Me too 👍
Right now, listening to this song, I'm 63 going on 16. Ahh, the memories...
The Chilites are one of my all time favorite groups. One of my favorite songs by the Chilites is 'Letter To myself'. if think you 'Oh Girl' make you think she has to take him back Listen to Letter to Myself. That had me saying to the radio Girl, whoever you are take him back. That voice that you here singing with so much pain is the late great Eugene Record.
Well now you opened an entirely new can of worms... The Stylistics, Al Green, Barry White, Marvin Gaye, The Temptations, The Four Tops, Gladys Knight, The Spinners.
Ah, don't forget the great Lou Rawls.
Ha ha hell yea love the soul R&B and motown era.
Indeed a yummy can of worms. Check out Blue Magic, the Intruders, the Whispers, the Delfonics, the Emotions, and the Main Ingredient to start.
Ty, another good soul/rock song is You Send Me-Sam Cooke.
Or anything by Sam Cooke for that matter.
@A Actually more Pop then Rock.
Man, that takes me back. Such an awesome song. Those Fros are something else.
Try The Stylistics - You Make Me Feel Brand New.
And go ahead and leave that mic up.
did it already
@@Modern-Renaissance-Man Oh. Ok. I'll find it.
@@Modern-Renaissance-Man how about Mighty Love by the Spinners. I love The Spinners bro even above the Temptations.
I tear up when I hear this song. I feel like a kid growing up in the 70s and sitting on the steps outside my house. I just love these guys and always will. Thanks for playing The Chi Lites. Take care & stay safe!
These groups were so powerful in their lyrical ability to touch our souls. Never grow old and nostalgic for our younger days.
I was a young teenage girl when this song was popular and I soon adopted it as a favorite....for this reason. ....For the way he sings the first two words, Oh Girl. Thanks for your review, MRM. Be well. Peace.
Greatest group of all time.The Chi Lites
I love, love, love this song, originally released in 1972 when I was just a baby. This is definitely a classic that's been redone several times. One of the best remakes is from Paul Young in 1990. Paul Young is a blue-eyed soul singer from England and he also had a huge hit with a remake of the Hall and Oates' song "Everytime You Go Away"!
I always loved this song, but once I paid more attention to it a few years ago, I realized that I had always been liking Chi-Lite songs. I just hadn't realized that it was them all along.
Love R&B, although I wasn't raised on it. Picked up on it as a teenager watching TV commercials in the 80s for Greatest Hits albums. Much of it I'd heard over the years, but hadn't specifically thought about it before.
The Chi-Lites were really big! Everybody was loving their songs!! ❤️🎵
Paul Young did a really good cover of this in the late 80s, I think.
Still hoping that you’ll finally roll The Flamingos’ “I Only Have Eyes for You” out of the bingo ball, Ty! I think it’s one of the most beautiful songs from the Doo Wap era, and I wasn’t even born until years after its release. 💕💕
Ithil Nin The chords in that song...so good!
WaterNai, so true!!!
You're right, Paul's version WAS quite good.
Me, 75 years old,still give me extra energy. You said everything right!
Number one song for the Chi Lites back in 72. I was 15, finishing up the freshman year in high school, and this song has always been one of my favorites. Love it....
The Chi lites had some great songs! Oh Girl was a #1 song for them. Love it.♥️🎼🎵🎶🇨🇦
Boy, those were the days. So many great R&B groups putting out one groovy song after another. I haven't heard this one since the 70s and yet it returns like a welcome old friend on your channel.
You are on a roll tonight! The Chilites were a great ‘last dance’ band. Homely girl, Have you seen her and the brilliant Time for love, which showed off their vocal range and should definitely be your next reaction. The band’s songs were always a fixture on the mixed tapes of my youth, when it was required of your boyfriend to present you with a tape of your favourite tracks, taken from a record if you were lucky and the radio if you weren’t! This kind of R&B was well represented in the 70’s and there’s a lot of great stuff out there, The Stylistics, Detroit Spinners, Ronnie Dyson etc. They should keep you going for a while.😎
I love how the song fades off with them still singing-I miss the 70's love songs and the feeling that went along with them----
MRM, you blew the dust off of this one! This is truly when music was music! Being the youngest, I got to hear this and countless other classic songs like this growing up! The stories that songs told back then and true emotion. Keep them coming.
Ty, this is Soul Music. Try A change is gonna come by Sam Cooke, he was known as Mr Soul.
Thank you for letting us enjoy this most beautiful and most romantic love song in its entirety without any enpurition!! 11-19-2021
Songs like this remind me how very lucky I was to grew up with the music I did!!! Damn I love this stuff!!!
What a great era in pop music, i was there at the time as it happened, thank God we can go back and listen!
Along the same theme, the O'Jays "You've Got Your Hooks in Me."
Another great Chi-Lites song: "The Coldest Days of My Life."
The Chilites, never heard of them until now, that's what I like about ya Ty, you bring reaction videos of great bands, groups or soloists that for some reason or other we didn't know of them at all! :)
Glad you guys are educating yourselves on great music! Makes me happy to know it will live on if people continue to find it and listen to it.
Well if you grew up in the 70s this type of music was all over the radio....
This song is awesome!! I was just a preteen when this song was new and i loved it from the very first time i heard it. I think it has a universal appeal.
At heart I followed The Beatles, classic rock, hard rock, progressive rock, some jazz, but this is one of the most beautiful songs ever!
Ledgends This is when music was truely sang from the heart ...Thanks for sharing ....God Bless
I remember listening to this on my 'transistor radio' back in the day. Loved it at 11 and still at 59.
This is one of those songs that transcends time, race, ethnicity, because it don’t matter if you’re white, black, Latino, Christian, Jew, Muslim, rich, poor, or middle class, I mean none of that matters, because as men we’ve all been through the kind of hurt that only loosing the woman you love can put on your heart. I lost my first girlfriend right about the time this tune came out. And I’m telling you, man, truer words were never spoken. A great classic. Thanks for that one!
"Back In The Day" (as the kids like to say), I had this song on a K-Tel compilation album - which tells you how old I am right there. K-Tel was a record company that compiled recent Top 40 hits onto a single vinyl album and advertised them on TV. "22 ORIGINAL HITS!!! 22 ORIGINAL STARS!!!" Of course, how they got those 22 original hits by the 22 original stars onto one 12 inch vinyl LP was to edit the crap out of them (usually down to 2 to 2.5 minutes) and then suck the bottom end out of the mix, so that it resembled the sound of mono AM radio, and also made it possible to master (a technical term) the record in order to fit 11 songs onto each side of the record (less bass meant narrower grooves). In any case, that's how I heard the very treble-sounding and ruthlessly edited 2.5 minute version of this song when I was a kid - and I still liked it. I didn't even know who The Chi Lites were (white guy in Canada speaking), or whether they were black or white or chartreuse, but I just liked the sound of the whole thing - and that harmonica hook got peoples' attention, as all good hooks do, even though it was never repeated again during the song. That's a brilliant pop record, no mater what the era.
Remember having a breakup with a girl I’d been dating for 7 months and riding in the car when this came on. Takes me back.
This is what you call music! Good stuff
The Chi-Lites, the Spinners, Al Green - can't go wrong. And of course the Four Tops and Temptations.
Such a great era for music, love the Chi-lites. You would love Brook Benton A Rainy Night in Georgia. I still listen to this today. It's so so gooood!!
Ah back to the oldies and goodies Thanks mate..and back to when those awesome Afro's where everywhere..Loved it..enjoy the Chi Lites so very much since first hearing it in one of your earlier reactions a long time back "Have You Seen Her"...smooth harmonies and great songs wonderful mate
Keep Safe Keep Strong
I got hooked on this in middle school. Glad I discovered the Chi Lites
Very talented group. Soul and passion.
Fav Chi-lites Song 😊
The late Eugene Record, RIP wrote and sang lead on this. He was a fantastic lyricist.
A great song from my childhood. 💖Such a heartfelt song 😭 I'm so glad you said PLAYLIST Ty 👍 You have awesome taste young man! 😀 always wonderful to see you. God bless you and yours 🙏 stay safe. 💖
Eugene Record was the lead singer and writer for this classic 70's hit song. Not only did Mr. Record have a great but he was also a Baptist Minister. Unfortunately he passed away from cancer.
I just came upon your channel and I like that you are doing old school music reactions! You're right, they don't make music like this anymore!! I grew up on this old school R&B, greatest music of all time in my opinion!!
Thanks for the sub!
Ok. I am pretty sure I requested this one. When I was 3 years old, my parents had a friend who had his own bar. I have always loved to sing and when he found out, he would put me on the bar and let me entertain his customers.
Fast forward 10 years-- I was riding with my mom and this song came on the radio. I knew EVER word. I looked at my mom and asked her why I knew this song. With a smile on her face she told me. I was like that with “Misty Blue” by Dorothy Moore. I love both of songs so much.
Great story.
DuckDuckGo Ismuchbetter thanks. I was 13 years old and my mama said she couldn’t believe I still knew the words so well. Lol
Thank God for 1950s brothers who came up sangin' in church & on the corner bc they birthed the tightest harmonies ever. 1 Of the great soul songs - & so simple. So thankful for soul music fr.
I LOVE this song OH Girl I love it alot and I love the Chi Lites my favorite group singers
Amen MRM! You have articulated what grown folks feel and believe. If today's musician would have the courage to create a song like this, we would have their backs. Okay, enough preaching, get off my lawn kid!
YOU always get a 👍- and so does this song- ❤️🤘🏼✌️
Loved this song in my youth. Men were so respectful back then.
No men were not respectful. Thus the women's movement and now the me too movement. There have always been a lot of decent men who would not protect women against the bad ones. The message to me at the time was take care of yourself. You should just know. Sorry asshole Fuck you!!!!! And all of your generation who did nothing to protect women. God bless
"I'd be in trouble if you left me now." Good God, what lines! The Chi Lites lit it up so well that girls held Ya tighter when Ya slow danced. Great response!
I remember this being played on the radio a lot back in the day!
I grew up listening to this song, but now when I hear it reminds me of the movie Crooklyn. Even though the events of the movie take place in 73 and I was only 5 in that year.
Such simple words 😊but so beautiful 😂😂❤❤
This is what classic soul sounds like.
I would like to make two requests for you to hear these priceless oldies by the Main Ingredient- everybody plays a fool, and Just don't want to be lonely.
Love this song. Even though you can feel his confusion and heartache, it still is a "feel good" song... gr8 harmony! :-)
Aaaah I love this...I was just a girl in the 70s. Love the Chi-Lites. ❤🤗 xxx
Love the old soul music like this and one of my favorites are the Spinners.
This was my first Chi-Lites song. It sold me on their music.
I was going through a break-up in about 1989 and I worked in radio I'm just song happy to come on hit me like a ton of bricks and I've loved it ever since
one of those memorable songs from The Great American Songbook.....classic ....early 70s.....
This has got to be one of my favorite song’s
Chi Lites song called A LETTER TO MYSELF.
Take a step back in time, Ty. Live it! I wanna see you in a bright green jump suit with bell bottoms and a large collar. And the fro! Damn it, Ty. Wear the fro! lol. Back to reality. The soul music of the early seventies was insanely good. Well thought out, well composed, great melodies, and harmonies that take you to a better place. Soul music was the natural progression from doo wop. This song, and others like it, bring me back to my childhood in a good way.
My father and his friends used to sit around our table singing this music - "This Magic Moment" by The Drifters was a weekly favorite, lots of Four Seasons and Stylistics, The Spinners omg its endless! You've jumped down the ole Rabbit Hole - enjoy!
Way before my time but I know the song well. Beautiful, early soul... never gets old. Fro's die but the song continues..
From a period with some great music by groups such as the Chi-Lites and The Commodores. Another song with a similar theme is The Four Tops "AskThe Lonely".
So nice on a sat morning at work.
💜🎶💜🎶💜🎶💜
💜💜💜💜💜💜💜
Slow dancing with the love of the week at the youth center dances every weekend....
My favorite song of chi lites how nice it is to appreciate those beautiful songs with only 16 years old I feel like I was born at the wrong time!
I was in 9th grade when that song came out. I bought the 45 single then. Later when I grew up and had a little money I bought the album. When CD's came out I bought the CD and of course recorded it for my digital devices. Dont be making us 60 years old sound so old😀. Some guys are lucky in love and others are not. Songs like these are the only comfort you have when you are alone after someone has hurt you bad.
I so miss these kind of groups, The Chi Lites, OJays, Delphonics, etc, etc. No more sounds like those that's for sure!!
One of the first songs I “loved” as a young teen. Funny thing, I could only listen at night as I lived in a small northwestern coastal town, a thousand miles from the radio station I heard this on...we could only get radio reception at night. KFRE (K-FREE) Fresno, California was the station, Gold Beach was my hometown. Chi-Lites became a favorite, and now, after more than fifty years, I love them as much as ever!
They had a huge album discography. I just went on Wikipedia and counted 18 albums and 15 compilation albums.
One of the greatest slow dance songs at prom in high school The chaperones really disliked it, we were much too close!!!!
I bet they were way too close at prom too.
I love this group also, I'd love for you to do some reactions to another group from the same time The four tops - Still Waters, and many more of their songs !!!
Have You Seen Her is another great song by this band.
Modern Renaissance Man.....You have a very cute smile!!
Love this song bro …
The bands back in the day was the best 👍🏻
tI love that old school bro. They just don't make music like that anymore. Also love Delfonics, The Manhattans, The Intruders, Blue Magic, The Stylistics, Harold Melvin and the Blue Notes, The OJays, Smokey Robinson and the Miracles, man I could go on and on but my all time favorite from those days is The Spinners. MRM speaking of the Spinners, can you react to How Could I Let You Get Away.
Ah, good old early 70's soul. So much good stuff. As others have said, the other great Chi-Lites song is "Have You Seen Her". Here's some more great stuff: The Spinners - "I'll Be Around" and "Could It Be I'm Falling in Love". Harold Melvin & the Blue Notes - "If You Don't Know Me by Now". The Stylistics - "You Are Everything", "Betcha By Golly Wow", "Break Up to Make Up", "You Make Me Feel Brand New". Al Green - "Tired of Being Alone", "Let's Stay Together", "Love and Happiness", "Look What You've Done for Me", "I'm Still in Love With You", "You Ought to Be With Me", "Call Me", "Here I Am".
I may have recommended so many Al Green songs that one might ask where one should begin. My suggestion is either "Tired of Being Alone" or "Let's Stay Together".
1972. Love the Chi Lites.
Oh The Chi-Lites one of my favorite R&B groups of the late 60s and 70s love their music especially their song have You seen her I really love that one that's probably my favorite chai light song but I love just most of their music even the ones that aren't hits.
