Toby is the seventh studio album by American soul group The Chi-Lites, produced by lead singer Eugene Record. The album was released in 1974 on the Brunswick label. By 1974, Brunswick had started to struggle financially so Toby was less heavily-promoted than the group's previous albums and fared less well commercially. It was the first Chi-Lites album since 1970 to stall outside the R&B top 10 (peaking at and to miss the top 100 on the Pop listings. Three singles from the album were top 20 R&B hits. In the UK however, where the Chi-Lites had previously established themselves as a successful singles group, none of the issued singles made any impact on the national chart.
No matter what the weather (What the weather. What the weather) We were always together. Then we grew up And time went on We became separated. Sad day Toby went away Sad day Toby went away. I came home from spring vacation Expected to find my Toby waiting Called her on her private phone She didn't answer Something was wrong. I ran all the way to her house Rang her bell Her mother answered and told me To come and sit a spell. I sat down to try to be prepared For what she'd say And what she said Brought tears to my eyes I couldn't push away. Toby left on a cloudy, rainy day She went to sing with the angels Toby's gone away. It was a sad day Oh, oh, Toby went away It was a sad day When Toby went away.
