In 1967 The Chi-lites, a very popular vocal group from Chicago, came to Kansas City to perform at the Town Hall Ballroom. The Promoter, Willie Cyrus, added the group The Mists to perform also. After the performance, They hooked up with the Chi-lites and met and got acquainted with Eugene Record, lead vocalist, writer, arranger for Brunswick Records. The group was invited to come to Chicago and audition at Brunswick Records. The Mists were signed to Brunswick sub-label Dakar Records. After they recorded their first 45 they became known as The Visitors. They released “Until You Came Along” with b-side “I’m In Danger”. A few more singles were cut but after the contract expired in 1973, the group disbanded. Group members: Ray Foreman Eugene Smiley Sr. Mel Britt
