The Chi-Lites are a Chicago-based soul vocal quartet from the early 1970s. They have had eleven Top Ten R&B hits. The group formed in the late 1950s when The Chanteurs joined forces with the Desideros to form The Hi-lites. Wishing to add a tribute to their home town of Chicago, they changed their name to the Chi-Lites in 1964. Thompson is the only remaining original member of the group after the death of Robert "Squirrel" Lester on January 22, 2010.
Thompson is both a singer and plays multiple instruments. He is also co-owner of Mar-ance Records with the late Michael Jackson's father, Joseph Jackson.
