Customer Reviews:

5 out of 5 stars Great boxed set too good to be deleted..........2005-08-02

Sadly, "Too Good To Be Forgotten" has been deleted. When used "marketplace" copies become available, they fetch a hefty price. Good news, though - the same label (Demon/Edsel) has issued an even better deal - two sets totalling four CD's compiling every track from the Chi-Lites' eight LP's for Brunswick - plus bonus tracks! Search for "Complete Chi-Lites On Brunswick." You can thank me later....

5 out of 5 stars Songs God made to blossom forever ( EVERGREENS ).......2001-03-11

The Chi-Lites are one of the best groups out there and I know this because I have all of their recordings and i've personally worked on the same stage with them in the 70's. Songs like Oh Girl, The Coldest Days of My Life and many others will always be around and I think everyone should own them in their collection.

5 out of 5 stars CLASSIC SOUL LIVES ON!!!.......2000-09-24

The Chi-lites never sounded better than on the 3 disc from TOO GOOD TO BE FORGOTTEN. The harmony, orchestrations, and phrasing of lead singer Eugene Record will immediately take you back to younger days. If you don't sing along with this group, you're soul-less. You will never tire of this great music.

5 out of 5 stars Comprehensive collection of outstanding music.......2000-02-14

Eugene Record's writing and singing during the Chi-Lites' time at Brunswick was consistently brilliant. This comprehensive collection includes not just the hits but many less well known treasures - check out "I've never had it so good", for example. Sound quality is excellent too. A must for any self-respecting soul music fan.
