This isn't an extended version of Make Me Smile, this is "Ballet for a Girl in Buchannon". It's a suite that makes up the first 7 tracks of Chicago's second album. Ballet for a Girl in Buchanon consists of: 1. Make Me Smile 2. So Much to Say, So Much to Give 3. Anxiety's Moment 4. West Virginia Fantasies 5. Colour My World 6. To Be Free 7. Now More Than Ever
Listening to the long version of this song it makes me realize how well versed they were in big band, classical and under elements of music. Masterful dudes
This was my dad's all time favorite song of Chicago's, he used to play his tambourine along with the song. He passed away 8 years ago, today would have been his 81st bday. Listening to this helped me feel close to him. ❤️🎶
Your dad had a great taste for music! This is my all time favorite Chicago song, and this long version is the best, showcasing the extreme talent of these 7 professionals!
This album is a true combination of talent and genius. One of the best albums of all time. Nothing like it has been done since its inception, and perhaps nothing like it will ever be as good.
so YES--the 4 placks are such great music---so being there live 2 out of the weeks nights at Carnegie Hall and the music "was such great".---so i have to listen to the actual live at CH version---now---see what people say----( even Danny's drums)
I saw Chicago play this suite in Vancouver on March 12, 1970 at the PNE Agrodome. I stood at the edge of the stage, right at the feet of Terry Kath, who played his Gibson SG so masterfully and sang like Ray Charles, I swear. The concert changed my life. Incredible singer, Peter Cetera was my bass playing hero and was so fluid. His amp - which was directly aimed at me - was so heavy and in such a deep pocket with Danny Seraphine, who WORE HEADPHONES... I'd never seen that before and was mezmerized. Robert Lamm was so jazz-cool behind his keyboards and sang just like the records. And OH MAN, Jimmy and Walt and Lee were such a tight horn section! I was pressed so tightly against the stage that I heard the band talking between songs... a true life changing moment. Chicago Forever ❤
Thanks for posting...cool memory wish I was there with ya to experience that..I was about 8 and saw Chicago about '75 I think, sounded great but a little young to get the whole thing
This song(s) are classics!!! Starts strong and ends even stronger. One of the greatest bands ever put together. They make us here in Chicago very proud!!!
Chicago, reminds me of my beloved father- Tim Lopez, with his orange VW, he would come to pick us up for his weekends ( my parents were divorced) he would play Chicago, let me drive his VW while sleeping off his hangover... and take up to Thrifty's for sundaes.not just the memories, but the time, in the 70"s were magical...
This is simply a great song. It's full of complex parts and instrumentation yet Chicago puts everything together in a masterpiece. Terry Kath could have been a soloist but combined with the other Chicago members, the sound is magical. I have loved this band from the git-go.
Too good to even imagine it ever existed. I read somewhere that even Benny Goodman thought these guys were incredible. Several friends of my Uncle who were musicians during the Big Band era said back in the 70's -- this was authentic brilliant modern big band. They were the righteous heirs. The reason they thought Chicago was more superb (aside from their excellent musicianship) than Blood, Sweat and Tears, Dreams, Ides of March, Chase and many of the other horn-based bands was simple: The arrangements were astonishing, the ensemble playing was tight and ingenious. Years later Buddy Rich, in an interview, complimented Danny Seraphine as one of the best new jazz drummers he ever heard. From what I understand, Chicago is finally getting into the R&R Hall of Fame. They should have been there years ago. For those who don't know -- Chicago teamed with The Beach Boys for a single track when they were touring together in the 70's. What a pairing that was...too bad they didn't do an entire album together.
+John LaStrada You are right about Benny Goodman (who dismissed rock music in general as "noise") admiring Chicago. This is also the only ABBEY ROAD-influenced suite I know (including Chicago's other ones from their first three double albums) that is of comparable quality to The Beatles' own masterpiece.
This the type of music that sparks imagination and thought. It took you somewhere. Missing terribly in today's music! Forgot that this was a suite! Amazing!
I agree some music is ok but most is shitty. These days.its dad it was great in 70 and80,s 90s not as good a d after that the rock stations were overtaken by alternative life styles I mean rock. Sorry. Soon as that happen I decided to boycott FM radio and just play CD tapes and records. I miss the old 70's classics. I wanna hear cream and Boston not John cougar and r.e.m..just say in now I gotta hear abba all day and madonna on frederick eagle station. At least big 100 plays decent rock..thank God for big 100
@@GRILLBUOY101Actually the radio stations were overtaken by corporations due to govt sellout allowing monopolizations. The corporations then took control of the recording and production of music. Now today's music is what you got. We need to vote out these politicians who are just money grubbers. They've got us so divided and blinded...look over here while the other hand is robbing you blind. Wake up people.
They performed this long version live when they were touring with Earth, Wind & Fire several years ago, sounded great!! One of the best concerts I've ever been to.
Terry's last album was XI, as Hot Streets had Donnie Dacus on guitar. The best single off Hot Streets was "Alive Again" which is a great tune. These days, Keith sings "Alive Again" most often as well as "Old Days" and yes, James Pankow wrote "Ballet For A Girl In Buchannon" to which we're listening here.. Timeless tuneage to be sure!! Great work, Jimmy!! And thanks to all of the guys for 46 YEARS OF CLASSICS!! WOW!!!
DANG ! when i have to kick my ass into gear and "get some things done", I always start out listening to this here multi song. works every time. me so grateful.
Got a ticket in my '67 Camaro SS while serving in the USCG on I64, listening on an old 8-track! Still own the Camaro after 49 years, and still love this song!
Still have this album purchased in high school. (class of ‘70) Along with many more from the good ol’ days. I feel extremely fortunate to have grown up in, lived through and experienced that era of music first hand. No fancy tech required. ‘What a long, strange trip it’s been’. Right boomers??
My Dad loved Chicago as do I. It is said that Jimmy Hendrix said about Terry Kath That dude is bad... Amazing right... the band was never the same after he died. To this day every time I hear Chicago I remember my Dad laying on the floor his head between 2 big speaker with Chicago blasting....
This suite is not the Make Me Smile extended version: this is the complete suite called "Ballet for a Girl in Buchannon" which contains MMS and 'Now More Than Ever', that were the beginning and the conclusion of the suite respectively. Some years later in CHICAGO IX the two tracks were spliced together. This suite almost filled one complete side of their second LP. The other song on that side was 'Wake Up Sunshine'
j ecoute chicago quand j avais 12 ans une revolution comment dire toutes l emotion c est beau le talon a 71 ans ans les plus grand musiciens des millions de tous les temps
i clearly remember hearing this side of the album for the first time, quite some time ago. it truly did Make Me Smile. good double album set for sure. *****
Chicago marcó mi adolescencia y ahora en la etapa madura de vida sigue dejándome huella. Que increíbles arreglos que nos pasean por tantos escenarios Simply the Best
FANTASTIC & SURPERB. I bought every album of theirs, with posters, iron on logos, etc. Seen them over 10 times in concert but unfortunately not when Mr. Kath was with us...😔🙏😔
1st song I played on Drums for 500+ people & boy was I Scared!! The first Full Song that I learned was a Randy Bachman song before this & that was just a warm up! WOW!! SO Many memories!!!! God Love Terry!!
I just these guys tonight in Vegas and they played the entire Chicago 2 album extended version of this song and all. A lot of it I didn't remember till they got to this section and they killed it! Fantastic!

Un tema que pasan los años y sigue siendo excelente. ¡Viva Chicago Band!
It doesn't get any better than this! I have Chicago 2 on vinyl......but no turntable.....I hate CDs because they DON"T last......THANK YOU for posting this great music here so I can hear it until I get a new turntable....vinyl rules......
Children play in the park ,love is lovely when your near me.....Seraphine, Kath,Pankow,Parazaider,Loughnane and Lamm nailed it ..and next song in which this my sister and sister always played this with piano and flute for our parents back in Michigan for xmas ...thanks CHICAGO !
Every bit of this song is perfection. Great playing on all instruments, you get a drum and horn solo, Kath sang his heart out (as did the rest), and it’s not monotonous. It’s mixed up with an interesting beginning, middle, and end that flow together well. Beautiful.
that song written with brian n the rest of the b. boys was so hauntingly beautiful. but i love this early stuff. masterful musicians all. wish,n ,they were all still here..
I'm sure it's elsewhere in the comments, but there is no "extended" version of Make Me Smile. The piece is properly named Ballet for a Girl in Buchannan, this is a musical suite whereby pieces of different styles and tempos were married into one whole.

thanks for the wonderful 411. it is al;ways nice to know what hou have been listening to for almost half a century. and i am NOT being sarcastic either. trust me when i type that.
+Cathie Morgan, so true. I mourn often for Terry Kath. His grittiness lives on in the music. But life does go on. And I look forward to seeing Chicago and Earth Wind & Fire (minus the late, great Maurice White) touring together this spring.
no doubt... Check out between 6-7min. when they sound like Mothers Of Invention.. these cats were were right on for the times, too bad we never caught up lol....
Real Chicago right here, when they were actually writing and playing the style of music that they wanted to. Before they, for lack of a better term, "sold out" and did all the sappy 80's ballads in order to stay relevant on the charts.
This was one of my favorites to play when I was playing in bar bands. Chicago tunes always filled the dance floor. I don't know if it is true or not, Kath got the idea for this song from a poster on the wall while waiting his turn at a dentist office.
I have always loved this song from the day the album came out. Why does You Tube even have a thumbs down button, or a thumbs up button? What's the point of the thumbs down especially and why would anyone use it. If you don't like something, move on. Everybody isn't going to like everything, do we really need to voice that? Do the people who like something care if someone doesn't like it? People are free to think or feel whatever they want but I think we have become too accustomed to voicing our dislike for something or our opinions in general, which often are not very fully considered. Some may think this is no place to voice such a thing and they may be correct. R.I.P. Terry Kath, so sad your love of guns and playful nature created the event that brought about your tragic demise. We have missed you.

It really is beautiful. At times it’s a jazz/rock infusion, and still, at others it’s almost classical.

Chicago was not a band, they were an orchestra. How I miss them, let me count the ways.
I saw Chicago play this suite in Vancouver on March 12, 1970 at the PNE Agrodome. I stood at the edge of the stage, right at the feet of Terry Kath, who played his Gibson SG so masterfully and sang like Ray Charles, I swear. The concert changed my life. Incredible singer, Peter Cetera was my bass playing hero and was so fluid. His amp - which was directly aimed at me - was so heavy and in such a deep pocket with Danny Seraphine, who WORE HEADPHONES... I'd never seen that before and was mezmerized. Robert Lamm was so jazz-cool behind his keyboards and sang just like the records. And OH MAN, Jimmy and Walt and Lee were such a tight horn section! I was pressed so tightly against the stage that I heard the band talking between songs... a true life changing moment. Chicago Forever ❤

This song(s) are classics!!! Starts strong and ends even stronger. One of the greatest bands ever put together. They make us here in Chicago very proud!!!
Great music 4sho and 4ever. ❤🎉
Always remember Mr j Hendrix saying terry was the best guitar ist ever for sure
Chicago, reminds me of my beloved father- Tim Lopez, with his orange VW, he would come to pick us up for his weekends ( my parents were divorced) he would play Chicago, let me drive his VW while sleeping off his hangover... and take up to Thrifty's for sundaes.not just the memories, but the time, in the 70"s were magical...
The most under appreciated band of all time. Not just the horns. Everything.
Butterman Terry Kath....the guitarist Hendrix said was "better than me".
Greatest music of all time
Underrated by whom?...The HOF don´t matter....
As a young teen, in the early 70’s, this is the music that moved me.
I loved thier music!
This is simply a great song. It's full of complex parts and instrumentation yet Chicago puts everything together in a masterpiece. Terry Kath could have been a soloist but combined with the other Chicago members, the sound is magical. I have loved this band from the git-go.

I love these guys. When I was younger I would play my trumpet along with them and always try to play higher.
Saw them live at the Texas International Pop Festival two weeks after Woodstock. I had just turned 15.
If the right person got hold of this, it would make a great rock opera! These guys gave me such great joy!
Reminds me just how incredible this band was during Terry Kath's lifetime. All of this is just amazing.
Magnificent Masterpiece from the greatest band of all time, legendary sound that made music famous, a total package Hall of Fame legendary band
I miss Terry Kath so much. He was the heart and soul of this band.
+E.D. Johns Without a doubt ...
i agree 1000%
Jimmy Pankrow, Rober Lamm, and Peter Cetera also rank.
One of those bands that attracted listeners and won fans from every demographic. The power and beauty of great music and great artistry.
And not a hint of woke messaging. Apolitical.
Great; listening here in the Philippines;
My mom used to play this album while cooking or cleaning house when I was a little boy. Guess who now possesses the album??......Me! 😊
Absolutely Beautiful Masterpiece, music at its very best
One of the best bands, ever!!!!!!
It's amazing that the 2 greatest bands from the 70's from America that used the horns flawlessly, were from Chicago.
I place Chicago in the PANTHEON OF GREATEST BANDS!
I heard my big bro play this album.. I was hooked even then.. one of my all time Chigago favs!!!
I'm 57 and listen to this kind of music while all my friends listen to...... ummm...... never mind.
I hear you...this version is the BOMB!!! BOOM!!!
I'm 65 and this is the band I grew up with. I'm as old as they are and they still rock!
hah! you are one year older than me!! hahaha there is hope for me yet it would seem!! thanks for that.
+Josef Zack Zack. Do you feel inside, You can make love"like the day you discovered how joy CHRGO, made you feel inside today. If so how.
Hah older than both of ya, gonna be 69 next month. My favorite band from back in the day
Who ever heard of a horn section in rock....BRILLIANT!!!
Bravo for the horn section. They define Chicago.
Brilliant Masterpiece
DANG ! when i have to kick my ass into gear and "get some things done", I always start out listening to this here multi song. works every time. me so grateful.
Listended to this song before I took my FAA flight exam and motivated me to ace the flight!!!
Sweet!!
Got a ticket in my '67 Camaro SS while serving in the USCG on I64, listening on an old 8-track! Still own the Camaro after 49 years, and still love this song!
Love me some Terry Kath and early Chicago.....NOW this is classic music......LOVE this Long Verison....Great brass and Great Drums.......

Big Band Jazz plus Rock with dash of Classical equals Chicago!🎺🎷🎶🎤🎸
And blues.
I just love this suite!!! Horns, drums, Bass Guitar, lead guitar,Voice the arrangement.... Perfection!!
THere's actually 5 or 6 songs all running one into the other, but that's okay-- this was GREAT!
Hendrix was a huge Kath admirer. Wanted to add horns to his sound as his musical aspirations evolved

Terry was the very best, 40 years in Heaven, true master musician
I have always loved this song from the day the album came out.
Why does You Tube even have a thumbs down button, or a thumbs up button? What's the point of the thumbs down especially and why would anyone use it. If you don't like something, move on. Everybody isn't going to like everything, do we really need to voice that? Do the people who like something care if someone doesn't like it? People are free to think or feel whatever they want but I think we have become too accustomed to voicing our dislike for something or our opinions in general, which often are not very fully considered. Some may think this is no place to voice such a thing and they may be correct.
R.I.P. Terry Kath, so sad your love of guns and playful nature created the event that brought about your tragic demise. We have missed you.
Anne Nonimous that is so Google for you, isn’t it?
been awhile since i heard this version. welcomed addition to my playlist.
