A Lonely Man
About This Album
Behind the talents of Eugene Record, the Chi-Lites present an impeccable album featuring one gem after another. Not loosing any steam from their previous album (Give More Power to the People), the Chi-Lites plug another Billboard number one song with the universal appeal of "Oh Girl," which also claimed the number one spot on the pop charts. "Coldest Days of My Life" came with a placid arrangement and lengthy recording time of 8:30, and every minute is deserving. It peaked at number eight, and "Lonely Man" was a humble extension of "Have You Seen Her." It cracked the Top 30 at 25. From the testimonial "Living in the Footsteps of Another Man" to the mid-tempo "Being in Love" to the ballad "Love Is," the Chi-Lites were flawless with this effort. Record is masterful with his articulation of the lyric; he stays in control of his vocals. His penmanship is phenomenal and his production skills are irreproachable. The only socially charged number is the remake of the Marvin Gaye classic "Inner City Blues," and it's done with skillful execution. ~ Craig Lytle, All Music Guide
