1.Oh Girl / 2.The Man And The Woman (The Boy And The Girl) / 3.Love Is / 4.Living In The Footsteps Of Another Man / 5.Inner City Blues (Make Me Wanna Holler) / 6.Coldest Days Of My Life / 7.Being In Love / 8.A Lonely Man / 9.Ain't Too Much Of Nothin'
これはシャイ・ライツの４作目のアルバムです。７２年頃に３作目を購入したのが最後ですので、何と３３年ぶりとなります。
チャイ・ライツ（当時はこう呼んでいた）の「オー・ガール」は私にはチョット甘すぎたので、控えてたのですが。。。。最近は嗜好が変わってきたので手を出してみました。
30数年経ても美しいコーラスは色褪せていません。ファルセットのバラードがトレードマークとなっているようですが、やっぱりシカゴのグループらしく軽快にブーガルーがかっこいいですね。
デビュー当時のメンバーは Marshall Thompson (1941年, Chicago生れ)、 Creadel Jones (1939, St. Louis) 、 Eugene Record (1940, Chicago)、 Robert Lester (1942, Mississippi)、 Clarence Johnson ()で1960年シカゴで5人組みとして結成。間もなくC.Johnsonが脱退しています。
その後、度重なるメンバーチェンジを経て80年にはオリジナル・メンバー４人で再結成。83年にC.Jonesが抜けてトリオになりました。
