The Chi-lites - When Temptation Comes


Geoff

Recommended Posts

I've got the Chi-Lites recording of When Temptation Comes on a CD. Any information please on this track? Is it on a 45 or is it LP only? Also when was it recorded, year, label, etc. Also price.

It's a really good bit of Modern Soul, never heard it played out, but that means nothing of course.

Yes, I also 'think' it's LP only?

What a fantastic track - not heard it out in ages!

Cheers

Forgotten how good this was - I'll be chucking it in my box for MonuMENTAL tonight, for sure!

I was only discussing the merits of this with a couple of mates on the way to the Orwell and Tomo pointed out that although it preceeds it by around ten years its almost a ringer for the backing of Overdose of joy.It is as said a very nice record by record.

There are quite a few other Chi Lites Brunswick LP (only) tracks that are worth playing ...

especially their superb version of Gerald Sims "Bet You'll Never Be Sorry" yes.gif

Not forgetting their beautiful version of "Too Late To Turn Back Now" either (which actually WAS issued on a single, in Brazil...)

Thats nice Tony! Saw an Argentinian Roger & the Gypsys 'Pass The Hatchet' - Buy It Now on Ebay - Made a cuppa - Gone... Seems to quite a bit of stuff down in the South Americas. I feel a Chi-Lites evenings play coming on!

Their version of Ronnie Dyson's "One Man Band" also came out on a Brazillian Brunswick 45 (I have it somewhere) - they must have been big 'South Of The Border'!...

There's a guy on GEMM called FredMusic who's in Brazil and who gets a few nice local pressings up there - I've had Ecstasy, Passion & Pain "Ask Me" on Brazillian Roulette, Silent Majority "Frightened Girl" on Brazillian Hot Wax and quite a few other bits (including several Motowns) over the past few years. Worth a search!

Always enjoyed their version of 'Inner City Blues' also - Is 'Bet' from the first LP?? (I think)

Cheers

Also extremely tasty is the Chi Lites uptempo reading of John Edwards/Sam Dees "Vanishing Love" on Mercury from '76

Have a listen here :

There are two different versions of this on Mercury. The one to get - with a much more powerful mix by Tony Powell - is the second one. Unfortunately it doesn't say 'remix' or anything on the label, and I don't have both anymore so I can't tell you what the differences are between the matrix numbers...

...happy hunting Rich!

PS - their other great Mercury 45 is "Who's In Love With Me" - classic uptown uptempo 70s Chi-town!

How about "You Got To Be The One " ??

Love it and you can pick it up for 3 quid which is always good.

Always like to hear Living In The Footsteps too.

I like 'well know' 70's soul groups, Chi-Lites, O'Jays, Main Ingredient etc who all had real quality tracks on their lps...
