Favorite Breakup Songs #8 - "Have You Seen Her?"

Tweet

#8 in my Favorite Breakup Songs series takes us to Chicago, birthplace of The Chi-Lites. The Chi-Lites are a vocal group that has been at it since 1959, with a long list of members over the years. They are in both the Vocal Group Hall of Fame and the R&B Music Hall of Fame. In 1971, the group scored it's biggest hit to that date with "Have You Seen Her?," a gold record single from their album (For God's Sake) Give More Power to the People. The song peaked at #3 on the Billboard Hot 100, #1 on their R&B Singles chart, and #3 on the UK Singles chart. "Have You Seen Her?" is a classic breakup song, a gentleman (lead singer Eugene Record) lamenting his breakup with his lady. Everywhere he goes, he sees her, and frankly, he's miserable. This one is timeless, one that they'll still be playing many years from now. Even if I didn't have this soft spot for 70's R&B, "Have You Seen Her?" would have made the cut.
