Formed in Chicago, Illinois in 1959, The Chi-lites were originally called the Hi-Lites, but had to change their name as there was a similarity with another groups name at the time. The ‘C’ in the groups ‘Chi-Lites’ name derived from their hometown’s city, Chicago. Prior to the first incarnation Eugene Record, Clarence Johnson and Robert Lester recorded with the group The Chanteurs, who released material on the Renee Records imprint in 1959. By 1968, the group had been signed to the Brunswick Records imprint, where Eugene began his long and fruitful collaboration with, the singer / songwriter, Barbara Acklin. In 1969 they acheived their first national hit with the song ‘Give It Away’ beginning a successful period that would reap many musical rewards throughout the Seventies. In 1971, they released the song ‘Have You Seen Her’, which charted in the U.S. and the U.K. respectively, reaching the number 3 spot. There then followed a series of chart entries, including ‘Oh Girl’ in 1972, ‘Homely Girl’ in 1974, ‘It’s Time For Love’ in 1975 and ‘You Don’t Have To Go’ in 1976..
