Tracklist:
Happy being loneley
Love can be hazardous
If i ever needed you
Vanishing love
I turn away
Let your love fall like rain
Don’t blame the world
Message to the world
Games people play
My first mistake
If i had a girl
Who’s in love with me
Let’s touch
Love at it’s best
Bubbling, babbling fool
Suddenly
Stop still
I’ve got a love on my mind
This set collects two of the Chi-Lites’ later-era LPs, 1976’s Happy Being Lonely and 1977’s The Fantastic Chi-Lites, on a single disc. The group was pretty much past its sell-by date at this point and beset with frequent personnel changes, although both of these albums are surprisingly pleasant and poignant at points — even if they didn’t yield any big hits.
