Chi Lites (1970) To Change My Love

Starting with a slinky beat administered by guitar strikes this song has a Heard it Through the Grapevine feel (a song they did a upbeat cover of on their album). As with all the Chi Lites songs Eugene Records yearning tenor is always engaging with great lyrics "There is a shortage of love, that's how they feel within" and "the world is coming to an end". The fantastic melody of the chorus with its descending down to earth rhythm and message means for me this is the most underrated soul gem I have come across. Undoubtedly a classic from the first listen that could stand with some of the best of Motown as well as Chi Lites early 70s hits.
