Eugene Record of the Chi-Lites

Famous as lead singer with the Chi-Lites - who had more than 40 R&B hit singles in America between 1969 and the late 80s. Eugene Record had a much broader range of talents than many of his contemporaries. His career was greatly enriched by his own song writing and production skills, in addition to his distinctive tenor/falsetto lead vocals with the Chi-Lites. His overtly commercial brand of soul was a little saccharine in some cases but his creative talents and contributions to contemporary music have long been widely acknowledged.
