The Chi-Lites are mostly remembered for their 70s slow jams "Have You Seen Her?" and "Oh Girl" but in 1983,they delivered this super catchy funk jam......

Fun fact: Stacy was offered a song that later became a massive hit for another artist.That song is “Ring My Bell” by Anita Ward.The song was originally intended for Stacy,but it had different lyrics about young teens hanging out on a party line.For whatever reason,Stacy passed on it,the lyrics were re-written to be more “sexier”,Anita recorded it and it became one of the biggest disco hits of 1979.

I really,really dislike the 1984 movie 'Breakin' 2: Electric Boogaloo" but I love the theme song Electric Boogaloo" by Ollie and Jerry

I have their debut album.I remember buying it mainly because of the first single "The Best Of Me" but I found several other great tunes too.There's an excellent slow jam called "Quiet Guy" plus the aforementioned duet with Shanice "This Time".It's a very good,underrated album from the late 80s.
