Saturday Morning's Greatest Hits: Oh, Girl (1972)

The Chi-Lites' "Oh, Girl" was released as a single in March 1972, and it eventually landed them on Soul Train. We'll see a performance, with an intro by the band and Don Cornelius.



"Oh, Girl" was covered by Smokey Robinson & The Miracles later in '72, and hit #1 on the Adult Contemporary chart for British singer Paul Young in 1990. In between, country singer Con Hunley covered it, backed by the Oak Ridge Boys, in 1982. And that's just a few of the cover versions, because this has been done many times by many artists.
