With the hall of fame success of the iconic soul group known as the Chi-Lites, Darren’s father, founding member Creadel “Red” Jones came a terrible price. Like so many other black artists of the day, the devil was in the details in the form of contracts and agreements with the mob filtered thru corrupt record executives and banksters.
