The Chi-Lites are an American soul and R&B vocal group formed in 1959 in Chicago, Illinois. Known for their smooth harmonies and emotive lyrics, they gained popularity in the 1970s with hits like "Oh Girl" and "Have You Seen Her." The group originally consisted of members Clarence Johnson, Robert "Squirrel" Lester, Creadel "Red" Jones, and Eugene Record. Their music often features themes of love and heartbreak, resonating with audiences during the peak of the Motown and Chicago soul movements. The Chi-Lites' influence can be seen in the work of later artists, and they remain a significant part of the soul music legacy.
