    We are truly blessed to have lived in an era where there is so much talent on display. Early Chicago is unrivaled IMO. RIP Terry Kath. I’m pushing 60 and it’s heartwarming to see younger people get to experience and enjoy Chicago songs for the first time. Music is the closest thing we have to a time machine. Past present and future, it’s all there in the music if you are open to it.

    Chicago had three main vocalist in the band:
    The first one you listened to - 25 or 6 to 4 - Peter Cetera (the bassist) sang the lead vocal
    The second one you heard - Make Me Smile - Terry Kath (the guitarist) sang the lead vocal
    This one - Does Anybody Really Know What Time it Is - Robert Lamm (the keyboard player )is singing the lead vocal.
    I love the song "Dialogue parts 1 and 2" where Terry Kath and Peter Cetera trade the vocals back and forth in a conversation.
    There's even one song I know of by them where Lee Loughnane (the trumpet player) sings the lead vocal - Song of the Evergreen.

      Great info. The era with Cetera on vocals and most of the songs of Chicago's Greatest Hits 82-89 are their best collection IMHO. Cetera's voice is completely unique unto itself. Hard to Say I'm Sorry, Look Away, Love Me Tomorrow, You're the Inspiration, etc... that album is amazing.
      The channel should dive into some solo Cetera as well: Glory of Love from Karate Kid II, The Next Time I Fall (duet with Amy Grant), After All (Duet with Cher).

      But, it would be good for them to know that after the first albums, that sound loaded with wind instruments began to disappear. They still had good songs, perhaps the most popular ones, like If You Leave Me Now, but for my taste it became a group of pop songs, generally ballads and soft rock tunes, very different from the music of its origins.

    This was your 3rd Chicago Transit Authority song reaction and by chance or design each featured a different lead singer. I just love Chicago, especially their early stuff with Terry Kath. This one was written and sung by keyboard player Robert Lamm. Everyone in the band are great musicians. BTW, Make Me Smile was written/composed by Trombone player James Pankow and was actually part of a longer piece called "Ballet for a Girl in Buchannon" , Sung by the late great Terry Kath. 25 or 6 to 4 had Peter Cetera on lead vocal. Great reaction you two, Thanks!

    Listen to Chicago's "Feeling Stronger Every Day" with lyrics. I was a victim of domestic violence, and at the very end of the song, they change up the lyrics to say: "The best thing to happen to you, is the worst thing that happened to me." When I arrived at the Women's Shelter, the first thing I saw was a poster that said "He hit her 99 times, she only got flowers once." Then you see flowers on top of a coffin. WOKE ME UP! I was too good to be put through what I thought I had to endure. The last time, I had a concussion for three months. Complete freedom for 5 years now ~ and feelin' stronger every day."

    From the late 60’s to the late 80’s, Chicago was literally the soundtrack of people’s lives through good times , bad times and just everyday working and living, their music was always being played somewhere. Brings back so many memories of my childhood and teen years especially. Amazing to think about so many great artists like Chicago who made so much great music that defined the decade!

  • @mmendrick1
    @mmendrick1 2 года назад +21

    Three different lead singers. You heard bassist Peter Cetera sing on 25 or 6 to 4 and soulful Terry Kath (lead guitar) on Make Me Smile. This is Keyboardist and one of the principal writers Robert Lamm. Probably the best horn song from Chicago is Beginnings - from this same album. Make sure to play the full version - not the radio edit. Also Saturday in the Park is a classic. For a harder edge of their music try Poem 58 from this album or Free from Chicago III. Lowdown from Chicago III is also a great showcase. And while you are playing the CTA album start at the very beginning - their first song is called Introduction and showcases just about everyone in the band.

    I remember well when this song was released and got a lot of radio airplay. It became a bit of a running joke whenever without thinking someone asked "Does anyone know what time it is?", some smart aleck would answer "Does anyone REALLY know what time it is? Does anyone care?"
    If you want max Chicago horn section, start to finish, and if you haven't done so already, listen to "Question 67 and 68". It was from the first album in '69 when they still called themselves the Chicago Transit Authority, and it was their first ever single release. James Pankow (trombone), who did much of their horn arrangements, said he learned a valuable lesson with the horn arrangement on that one. He said he realized that in the future, they (the horns) really didn't have to work as hard in concerts as they did whenever they played Questions. The horns could just come in and out, they really didn't have to play from start to finish as they did in Questions. Btw, the title of that song is a little opaque, but it apparently refers to all of the questions the writer of the song had in his mind about his relationship with a girl during the two years ('67 and '68) previous to when the song was written.

    Just a reminder for new listeners, the original band (first 10 years) featured three lead singers including Robert Lamm on this one. Peter Cetera's voice is more of a classic tenor and was featured on Old Days, Feeling Stronger, Questions 67 & 68 and 25 or 6 to 4. Terry Kath's voice covered the low register (Make Me Smile) and his was extremely soulful. Few bands had three great singers plus three HOF song writers.

They decided to have Peter sing that one.
