History

Chi-Lites includes four of the group's most successful singles. "Stoned Out of My Mind" and "Homely Girl" both made the top 3 on the US R&B chart, while "Homely Girl" and "Too Good to Be Forgotten" were both top 10 hits in the UK. The latter, while never released as a single in the US, has remained one of the group's biggest hits in the UK, where a 1986 cover version by the band Amazulu also made the top 10. Chi-Lites peaked at #3 on the R&B chart and #89 on the Pop chart.
