Chicago had a 50 year recording career with multiple lineups. The constant members through all the years were the 3 member horn section and keyboardist and singer Robert lamb. They always had multiple lead vocalists in the band. This song was the first album for the new bassist and lead vocals for Jason Schiff who replaced bassist and vocalist Peter Cetera. Cetera was an original member and most identified as the classic Chicago vocals. Cetera certainly had the most hit singles. All versions of Chicago were great. Go down this rabbit hole and you will agree. This song was one of the only Chicago hits that doesn't feature horns. Chicago was mostly famous for their horn arrangements
Will check out more. This video was actually recorded over a month ago, but it was blocked. I reacted to "25 or 6 to 4" since then. Thanks for watching.
Former musical theater turned rock vocalist (many years ago) here. Great reaction as always Saeed! I see Chicago as often as I can when they are in my area. Iconic and legendary are two words that amply describe Chicago, but they're so much more. As others have said, may I suggest "25 or 6 to 4" from the Live at Tanglewood video, so you may witness one of the greatest guitarists ever, Mr. Terry Kath. During an interview with Jimi Hendrix, a journalist once asked him how it felt to be the greatest guitarist in the world. Jimi's response, you should ask Terry Kath that. Keep doing what you do and I'll keep watching.
Definitely want to explore more. This video was actually recorded over a month ago, but it was blocked. I reacted to "25 or 6 to 4" since then. Thanks for watching.
I also put in a request for this song - so thank you for your reaction :). Even though I ADORE Peter Cetera with Chicago - this is still my TOP favourite with Terry Kath as the lead singer. Never fails to give me chills. The build up, cadence, and flow are just perfection. If you want to hear Chicago with Peter - please check out You're the Inspiration, Hard to Say I'm Sorry, and Glory of Love. Cheers from Ontario, Canada :)
Actually, love, this song was released in 1986, 8 years after Terry's tragic death. 💔 😢 It was sung by Jason Scheff, who also played bass, guess Peter had moved on by then. As we've seen, Robert, on keys, also provides some vocals. Anyhoo, nice tune, cheers from Toronto. 🖖🏼😀🎶❤️🍁❤️✨️🕊
@@SaeedReacts. You're right Glory of Love was solo Peter - I lumped all three songs in together. Have You Ever Been in Love and Daddy's Girl are also two more of Peter's solo hits.
You need to listen to some early Chicago, some of their best are "25 or 6 to 4" "Does Anybody Really Know What It Is" & "Saturday In The Park" a lot of brass instruments.
Great band. I'll suggest my favorite three tunes from the dozen hits I like by them.... 'I'm a Man (1970), Questions 67 and 68 (1969) and 25 or 6 to 4 (1970). All rockers btw. Also like to suggest the great Canadian horn band 'Lighthouse' check out 'One Fine Morning' (1971). Cheers.
To me, this is after they became too vanilla. They're still talented, but kinda middle of the road. Try some of their earlier productions, you'll find it a bit more eclectic and less soft rock.
Great band from the 70's-80's. They were a rock & roll band with horns & blended elements of classical music, jazz, R&B, & pop music. They had a lot of great songs such as "Does Anybody Really Know What Time It Is?", "Beginnings", "Feelin' Stronger Everyday", "Questions 67 & 68", "I'm A Man", "If You Leave Me Now", "Hard To Say I'm Sorry", "Saturday In The Park", "Colour My World", "You're The Inspiration", "Look Away", "Old Days" etc.
This was off of the album Chicago 18; unfortunately this album, though still good, was more keyboard/synthesizer driven and less with their signature horn accompaniment.
Oh no, really?? Of ALL the Chicago songs you guys could have first introduced him to, you chose this first??? No, no, no. This is NOT the real, "original" Chicago, so PLEASE do not judge this group's music by this whimpy song. The "original" Chicago, formed in 1967, began a string of platinum selling, most double albums from 1970 through 1978. Chicago was considered a avant-garde, critically acclaimed, "rock & roll band with horns" that infused jazz with rock and inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame with 20 top-40 hits - not this soupy crap. Please listen to and get to know Chicago from the 70s, NOT the 80s. To truly get to know the "real" Chicago with its original 7 founding members, try "25 or 6 to 4," "Saturday in the Park," "Beginnings," "Make Me Smile," "Just You 'N' Me," "Beginnings," or "Getting Stronger Every Day."
I enjoyed this song. I went in without prior knowledge and biases. But this video is also a month old, cause it was blocked. I have reacted to 25 or 6 to 4 since.

Love, love, LOVE Chicago! This may be your first reaction to them, but it will not be your last!! My vote is for Hard Habit to Break.
25 or 6 to 4; If You Leave Me Now; Feeling Stronger Every Day

Truly amazing song. I did react to Glory of Love, but i thought it was Peter Cetera solo.
Thanks for watching
And thanks for the recommendation. This video was recorded a month ago, but it was blocked by RUclips at first.

@@damonhines8187 You're absolutely right - I typed in the wrong name.

Because of my age, I saw them only once with Peter Cetera and then four times with Jason Scheff. Still one of my favorite bands ever!
Such a great band. 👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻

Thanks for the recommendations! I reacted to 25 or 6 to 4, but not the others.
You actually did a reaction to Peter Sentera before . I think it was the song the power of love. He is the lead singer

Thanks so much for sharing some info and recommendations! As always!
70s and 80s soft rock is good. They don’t do that genre much anymore if at all
This was off of the album Chicago 18; unfortunately this album, though still good, was more keyboard/synthesizer driven and less with their signature horn accompaniment.

Please go back to their early music it’s definitely their best, this is not Chicago’s good music, this is too Pop for Chicago
