Singing that way became popular in the mid 70s. Every group needed that “soprano “voice. Drove all the women crazy!❤ that was good music!

Here's the point of the song, Britt. He's lost her (for whatever reason) and she's haunting his mind. He sees her everywhere ... in his imagination, on the streets, the movies, everywhere in his mind, and he can't get her out of his mind. He asks his friends ... "have you seen her?" Who is she with? What is she doing? Does she miss me? Beneath the choreography, the vocals, the harmony, lies a painful story of a lost love.

One of the best 70s R&B groups ever!

Their follow-up single was an even bigger hit, "Oh Girl" (1971), which was a #1 Pop and R&B smash. The "Chi" references their hometown of Chicago, I believe.

This version is missing the entire spoken intro, which is an integral part of the song. What a pity.

November, 1972. Basic training at Fort Leonard Wood, Missouri. Middle of a very cold night, huddled in the back of a Duece and a half, returning to our barracks after a couple of days out in the field. We had 4 black guys in the truck with us and they started singing this song acapella. Amazing harmonies. They sounded just like the Chi-lites. I was cold, dirty, tired and homesick...but for a few minutes, I closed my eyes and their voices made me forget my misery. I remember it like it was yesterday. Everytime I hear this song, I think about them. Thank you, guys.

I miss music like this from my younger days - thanks for keeping beautiful music alive ❤❤❤

Chi-Lites, Stylistics and Delfonics are the kings of smooth soul

It's a golden oldie, we don't mind bleeding ears for oldies.

One of the greatest songs, and singing groups of the 1970's. Never get tired of hearing them sing. The guy singing the high parts is absolutely fabulous. Back when there talent and not computer tricks. this kind of singing started waaayyy back in the 1920's.30' 40, s with groups like The Ink Spots...check them out .Evolved in to what was labeled Dooo Wop of the 1950's [street corner groups singing, white and black guys, sometimes both in one group [shock of all shocks lol]. I say the secret to singing high for guys is wearing boys underwear....

[christianmattison]

The Bee Gees had nothing over these guys in the falsetto department. I loved that era that ran from guys singing like this to Berry White and everything in between! What a great time of musical diversity!! I miss it!!

[bryanstoudenmire]

Yes Britt it's Chi-lites as in Chi-town from CHICAGO My Home town one of my favorite old school group's

[debbywilkins]

Most of the R & B groups in the 70s/Motown did great choreography & great vocals.
This unfortunately is a lost art.
I loved this song & have the 45

[francistobin]

Ahhh, loosing that first love still lives inside. That song brings it back

[AngelaGoodwin-fhfw]

R&B was never better than it was in the 70s.

[EricRussell-udsg]

So much great music in the 70's, wish I could relive them days again.

The Flip Wilson Show was great. Good musical guests and Flip's comedy, especially his character Geraldine Jones, and her boyfriend "Killer".

The Chi-Lites, pronounced "shy-lights", are a vocal group formed in 1959 at Hyde Park H. S., in Chicago, IL. After a few personnel changes, the members who recorded all of their hits was, Eugene Record (lead vocalist and song writer), Marshall Thompson, Robert "Squirrel" Lester, Creadel "Red" Jones. Marshall is the only surviving member from that line-up. Their major hits came in 1971 and 1972, "Have You Seen Her" and "Oh Girl", the latter becoming a number one single on the Billboard Hot 100 on May 27, 1972.[6] Each sold over one million copies and was awarded a gold disc by the RIAA. Few could match the harmony of the Chi-Lites, having hits in the eras of Doo-wop, Soul music and Disco. This song was written by Barbara Acklin and Eugene Record. The spoken parts were inspired by the opening monologues on Isaac Hayes' 1969 Hot Buttered Soul album, where Hayes would tell an often heartbreaking tale using his speaking voice before singing. On "Have You Seen Her, " Record speaks the verses, explaining that ever since his girl left him, he hasn't been able to enjoy the simple pleasures in life like going to the movies or playing with the neighborhood children. That's because he can't stop thinking about his girl, and he envisions her everywhere he goes, even though she's not really there. He tell himself she'll be back, but he knows deep down it's a lie. Still, he asks anyone who will listen, "Have you seen her?" Please consider reviewing "Coldest Days of My Life", "Oh Girl", (For God's Sake) Give More Power To The People", "A Lonely Man", and "Let Me Be The Man My Daddy Was".

The Chi-Lites were an American R&B/soul vocal group in the 60's-70's. Their biggest hits were "Have You Seen Her" & "Oh Girl". They had some other songs but not as popular.

One comment I'd read a while back that I will never forget and its pretty much a mic drop and nothing else needs to be said comparing music then and today. " The songs now are SING ABOUT WOMEN, the songs then SANG TO THEM".
