Back 2 Back

Two legendary soul groups—the Delfonics and Chi-Lites—meet on this Masters compilation, pairing the Philadelphia ensemble’s lush string arrangements with the Chicago outfit’s smooth, introspective vocal harmonies. Released during the soul revival era when vintage deep soul and quiet storm gained renewed currency, Back 2 Back captures the essence of 1970s soul balladry at its most refined. The Delfonics' orchestral precision and the Chi-Lites' intimate crooning create a natural dialogue across tracks, making this an essential entry point for deep soul enthusiasts.
