I can't remember a time when any true rock fan didn't appreciate Terry Kath, I have no idea what the person commenting was thinking with that statement!!
@@mikemaggio4979: A lot of rock n rollers didn't give Terry Kath his deserved credit because he played in a horn band. A lot of like minded people treated Brian May the same way because he played in a vocal band.
"This is Chicago?" Yeah, they reinvented themselves every 5 years or so in the 70's and 80's. Some very different sounds out of this band over the years. You should try their version of "I'm a Man"
@@benpotaka5893 Peter always gets a lot of flack due to the nature of how he left the group and being tied to the David Foster era of the band, but he always will be a key member of Chicago. He was an incredible bassist and his voice rounded out the Chicago sound perfectly with Lamm and Kath. Hopefully we can give Peter his the credit he's due someday.
@@6Snaus that era of Chicago was untouchable, just brilliant musicians playing great music, one could argue that when Terry Kath died things went south, but I think they just went down the pop path
Love Chicago. You will love their music. Saw them twice. I knew every song!!! Been a group since the 60s brah! Hard to say I’m sorry, you’re my inspiration, Just you and me, Old days, make me smile, Colour my world, The horns- 😆 So many memories!
People reaching, people touching A real celebration Waiting for us all If we want it, really want it Can you dig it (yes, I can) And I've been waiting such a long time For the day, yeah yeah This verse touches my heart today. This is the weekend that gets summer on a roll for most Americans but so many of are still under stay home orders. Even though we are supposed to be able, (in my state) to go to a park to walk, jog or do other exercising, we aren't to be there having a picnic and any gatherings are to be limited to 10. People will reach, people will touch, it will happen but we've been waiting such a long time.
Heh, the very first vinyl record I ever bought was the 45 of this song in 1970 whatever. Classic! Also -- "Does Anybody Really Know What Time It Is?" and "Beginnings" seriously deserve a spin -- or several!
Yes!! Love Chicago!! Please check out "Does Anybody Really Know What Time it is". After hearing about your proposal to your wife, I'd say check out "Colour My World". My brother and sister-in-law had them play that one for their special dance at their wedding reception.
What a great reaction! This song brings everyone to their own Saturday in the park. I’m from Chicago and I always drift to Grant Park and all those youthful carefree days.
Peter Cetera's voice resonates to through to my soul. My church retreats always had a theme, mine was "Searching" so they used "Searching so long" by Chicago. That song still gives me the chills.
I was never able to figure out why I like watching reaction videos so much until now.....and that's because of you! You bring such pure joy to your reactions and it's infectious! Something that is sorely lacking in these times. Thanks for the lift! :-)
I just love the horns.Since the 70s. It is a good song for just taking a walk or sitting outside in the sun. "Does anybody know what time it is" another good one.
Oooo, thank-you! I'd forgotten about Wishing You Were Here. Back in the 70's during my senior year of high school I'd turn that song way, way up whenever it came on the radio. Loved it.
Oh my gosh me too - was walking home from St Aloysius grammar school in Jersey City and heard this and loved Chicago ever since (with a preference for old Chicago 😌of course, though I appreciate the Cetera poppy era too) I was born in 1963 and I must’ve been 11 like you...memories ❤️
I really enjoy watching you react to the music:) Your enthusiasm for listening to songs I grew up with, breathes new life into them. It's like watching a baby discover the world:) The supply of great songs is endless:))) I'm 59 and I've forgotten more great song, than I can ever remember:)))
Give “Introduction” by Chicago a listen. Their lead singer and guitarist at the time was Terry Kath. Listen to his voice, he was called the White Ray Charles and he was so good on the guitar that Jimi Hendrix told the members of the band that he felt that Terry Kath was a BETTER guitar player than he was! Terry Kath unfortunately accidentally shot himself in the mid to late 70’s and the band lost that sound and never regained it.
@@michaeltaylor8835 Not suicide. He was with a few of the guys, drunk, and was cleaning his gun. He was playing around thinking he had cleared the gun and accidentally shot himself. he took out the magazine but failed to clear the chamber.
Ron Hillier yeah. Very very very sad. What could have been with him still being around. Kath and a member of their road crew were doing drugs at the road crew member’s home and he was cleaning his guns playing around with them. The roadie asked him to be careful several times while he was cleaning his .38 revolver and he put it to his head and pulled the trigger to show that it was empty. However he did the same thing with his semi automatic pistol and removed the clip. However he did not realize that there was one in the chamber and he pulled the trigger and was killed instantly.
Omigosh, I was early. I'm glad you're doing more Chicago. (That other one was 25 or 6 to 4). I can see you recognize the song, and apparently must like it. 😃💖💕
i dont see how anybody could "not like" this song - this song makes you wanna be outside at the park - or in a convertible cruisin' along the coast highway...
Your reaction videos are my everything. This old school goth is so glad you ever so randomly popped up in my recommends all those months ago. Your excited expressions of recognition give me life.
4th of July is on a Saturday this year. Hopefully we have "people reaching" and "people touching." As Chicago would call it "A real celebration." Stay safe.
Your face is always priceless when you realize you will now be able to identify all of this music you are hearing at work. lol I saw Chicago two times in concert. There had been one or two years between the shows but almost every song they played in both concerts were hits.... with no repeats. It was incredible. Thanks for the reaction, Jamel.... I enjoyed it. Take care and be well. Peace.
Chicago - I'm a Man (full version) The Lovin' Spoonful - Summer in the City Blood, Sweat & Tears - Spinning Wheel, You've Made Me So Very Happy, And When I Die
Chicago - one of my favorite bands. They were truly innovative, especially in the use of the horn section. Great songs, lyrics, harmonies! "Can you dig it?!!!"
Everytime Robert Lamm sings “A man playing guitar, waiting for a song” he points to the sky for Terry. That change to the bridge “slow motion riders..”. Gives me HUGE goosebumps.
This album is one of a few that made me become a Trumpet Player - 60 years old and still payin' my horn every day.... Thank you Chicago....and Earth, wind and Fire.....and Tower of Power...and Louis Armstrong....and Doc Severinson...
I was in the park (Grant Park in Chicago) with thousands of others, and it was the 4th of July, and it was a Chicago concert. Just try to imagine the throngs of us on that hot and muggy day, singing along at the tops of our voices with "Saturday in the park, I think it was the 4th of July"! Sheer insanity! LOLLLLL! A memory that will never, ever be forgotten by any of us there. Chicago in Chicago forever
Oh you're in a 70s 🎸 feel good jam! 🎵🎶💖💖🎶🎵 I used to think this was Three Dog Night song. Lol 😆 I always thought they were a better studio band vs live.
@@rbking9296 actually i saw them live in Cleveland in 1975 and they were off key, must have been bad day .... it was outside and they were out of sync.
Can fully understand that when I saw them it was indoors and the acoustics were great at that place, but your right I have seen great bands toward the end of a tour and they were tired and wore out from the road and it showed, cool seen we seen them the year probably the same tour 😊👍
Watching you enjoy the songs that are new to you,or songs you had heard but just realized who did them,is SUCH a sweet pleasure. Videos like these definitely bridge ALL people Jamal. Thank you for being an awesome human being,and taking us on your musical journey.🥰🥰🥰
@@nancy9478 Peter Cetera hated that song and didn't want to record it against the record company and the band's wishes. Ironically it became one of the band's biggest hits.👍🙏
Kenneth Russell that’s not true. Cetera loved Robert Lamm’s songs. It was Jimmy Pankow’s songs -in particular- Old Days, that he didn’t like. Old Days he hated to sing live because he thought lyrics about comic books and Howdy Doody was corny.
awesome - made me go back and listen to this song again - so glad you mentioned it !! Thanks !!! That took me back a ways - was a sophomore in 1975 - old days - the good old days...
Also if you watch Robert Lamm the lead singer who wrote this song when he sings the part a man playing guitar during their live performances he looks up into the sky in tribute to Terry Kath who was the guitarist with Chicago who tragically died.
I remember playing my flute for 6th Grade talent show..haven't thought about that in decades!Thanks for the reminder Hamp! Have a good one and stay safe.
Thanks Jamal, you make me smile! Chicago has been one of my fave bands for a long time, i do so enjoy their music. I love watching your reactions, it's like hearing the music for the first time all over again! I can dig it.
Love Chicago and have since 1970. This is my favorite Robert Lamm song. Robert Lamm sings lead and the back vocal is the amazing Peter Cetera. This song gives me chills every time I hear it ❤️🥰❤️🥰
I'm in Michigan and the April before Covid, we experienced an unexpected heatwave! The parks were filled with dogs, frisbees, picnic baskets, kids laughing and this song became an Anthem for the day!! Power of Music!
This is *real* Chicago. What wonderful memories of high school for me, playing saxophone in the high school stage band -- and we did some of these Chicago tunes. Some of the best days of my life. Thanks Jamel.
So happy you reacted to Chicago! Robert Lamm is the lead vocalist and wrote this song - and wrote a lot of Chicago's hits, like "25 or 6 to 4". They are amazing musicians.
I was 14 when Terry Kath died. I can still remember where I was (lying in bed in the early morning listening to the radio) and feeling the gut punch when I heard who it was that had died. I was devastated.
This is my era ! I was a teenager when this came out. Their full name use to be Chicago Transit Authority . You're so right, hard to be bummed - out when you here this classic! They do " I'm a Man " . It will get ya goin' my friend. Safety first
You know, I found your channel quite by accident, and am I ever glad I did! Love to watch you enjoying the great music I grew up listening to. You put a big smile on this grandma's face every day since I found you. Thanks so much! Love & happiness to you, Jamel.
"Can you dig it?" "Yes, I can!"
RIP Terry Kath, probably the most underrated guitarist ever. You made my Saturday thanks Jamel ☮️out
Jimmy Hendrix considered Terry the greatest guitarist.
Fact
I can't remember a time when any true rock fan didn't appreciate Terry Kath, I have no idea what the person commenting was thinking with that statement!!
@@mikemaggio4979: A lot of rock n rollers didn't give Terry Kath his deserved credit because he played in a horn band. A lot of like minded people treated Brian May the same way because he played in a vocal band.
Jamal, you're probably thinking "25 Or 6 to 4". Terry's solos on that and "Make Me Smile" are incredible.
Chicago is one of those groups that always made you feel like smiling. The horns, the drums, the vocals , great lyrics and fun uplifting songs.
It’s impossible to listen to this song and not sing, dance and smile 👏🏻🙌🏻🤘🏻❤️
Chicago had a TON of great songs, and every member was unbelievably talented.
Take a thousand mile stroll through their catalogue.
One of Chicago’s many great songs
"This is Chicago?" Yeah, they reinvented themselves every 5 years or so in the 70's and 80's. Some very different sounds out of this band over the years. You should try their version of "I'm a Man"
Oh yeah, I'm a man! Definitely a great one.
Their version of I’m a Man is hot A.F.!
Free - my song
When songs had meaning; lyrics had substance; people smiled. That was when Chicago walked the world; boy, do we need their words and feelings today.
…even the Italian verse.
“Does Anybody Really Know What Time It Is?! “ Chicago-Great instrumentals!!!!! Do it!! 👍🏼👌
THIS...!
@@2869may yesssss!😀
Yes...its 11:22 am.....in Chicago
Wow didn't know that!😲😢
And listen in between the sentences: ... the old cut german have to die... ... huuhh, Entschuldigung ... (1971, Carnegie Hall)
If you've done 25 or 6 to 4 then give "I'm A Man" a listen. R.I.P. the great Terry Kath.
Ive been hoping hed do the live version of 25 or 6 to 4 from Tanglewood 1970....one of the greatest guitar solos ever....Terry Kath is a beast....
@@luked78 yes the whole Tanglewood concert was anazing!
Terry was Chicago. No disrespect to the others but they were not the same band without him.
That's the one. Especially the video of them doing it live. So good.
I 2nd “I’m a Man”. That’s a damn good song.
Their original name was “The Chicago Transit Authority”.
I grew up in the 70s. Songs like this are magical to me. The 70s was one of the Best decades for music.
“You better stop, you better stop”.. can you dig it? Yes I can!!
Groovy, man!
You forgot “Faaar oooout”
And this is one of the reasons I love Jamal
That was the gift of the early 70's to American culture and for a while most of us were sharing the same vibe and seeing eye to eye. 🤜🏿🤛 ☮✊🏼
@@Qboro66 Not completely eye to eye...
I was born in 1968. I would have needed a tall chair or ladder.
Jemel! Feeling stronger everyday by Chicago!! You won’t be disappointed
Jamel play this song!
Oh yes! I love love love that song!!!!
Jamel you gotta do it.
Framing Hanley-hear me now 🔥🤘
One of the best instrumental breaks I've ever heard at the end
Peter Cetera is the high Tenor voice in this. He gets so little credit for his outstanding bass work. There are some incredible bass runs in this.
Totally underrated bassist 🎸
@@benpotaka5893 Peter always gets a lot of flack due to the nature of how he left the group and being tied to the David Foster era of the band, but he always will be a key member of Chicago.

Hometown childhood music
Welcome to 1of the GREATEST decades Jamal! The 70's were a wonderful time! You had to be there!
Jamel: Check out "Feeling Stronger Every Day" and "Make Me Smile" by Chicago
CO-Signed !!
There’s a live in the studio version that would be good to check out so you can see all the members
Love Make Me Smile great song
@Bill McKay They are awesome. Best cover band ever. I actually like their version of "Street Player" Better than the original.
Make me Smile! YES! So good! He could do an entire day of Chicago.
Love Chicago. You will love their music. Saw them twice. I knew every song!!! Been a group since the 60s brah! Hard to say I’m sorry, you’re my inspiration, Just you and me, Old days, make me smile, Colour my world, The horns- 😆 So many memories!
People reaching, people touching
A real celebration
Waiting for us all
If we want it, really want it
Can you dig it (yes, I can)
And I've been waiting such a long time
For the day, yeah yeah
This verse touches my heart today. This is the weekend that gets summer on a roll for most Americans but so many of are still under stay home orders. Even though we are supposed to be able, (in my state) to go to a park to walk, jog or do other exercising, we aren't to be there having a picnic and any gatherings are to be limited to 10.

Colour My World was played at an awful lot of Junior High dances during the 1970s.
Chicago has so so many great songs, one of my favorites of all time, I love the horns
Always brings me back to being a kid in the early 70's.
We need us some of this kind of music coming into the summer months, something to inspire
Chicago “Make Me Smile” is an absolute MUST
What a great reaction! This song brings everyone to their own Saturday in the park. I’m from Chicago and I always drift to Grant Park and all those youthful carefree days.
It actually brings me great joy that your realization of your personal history of this song brought you so much joy! A1!
Peter Cetera's voice resonates to through to my soul. My church retreats always had a theme, mine was "Searching" so they used "Searching so long" by Chicago. That song still gives me the chills.
Such a beautiful song! One of my mellow favorites.
Love that one too! Beautiful!
Robert lamm sang this one
@@jasonhardison7103 I know that, I was talking about, "I've been searching" I should have been more clear on my post.
@@alisambrano that's a great song for sure . Feeling stronger everyday is my fave
I was never able to figure out why I like watching reaction videos so much until now.....and that's because of you! You bring such pure joy to your reactions and it's infectious! Something that is sorely lacking in these times. Thanks for the lift! :-)
I just love the horns.Since the 70s.
It is a good song for just taking a walk or sitting outside in the sun.
"Does anybody know what time it is" another good one.
You are just precious when you react to some of these songs. I’m 74, and one of your biggest fans! Keep on keeping on!
Check out 2 more bt Chicago: "Wishing You Were Here" & "Does Anybody Really Know What Time It Is".
Wishing You Were Here!!!
"A Hit by Varese"
Oooo, thank-you! I'd forgotten about Wishing You Were Here. Back in the 70's during my senior year of high school I'd turn that song way, way up whenever it came on the radio. Loved it.
Haven’t heard this oldie but goodie in a long time! I Love Chicago❤️ This group will take you there every time! Thanks for what U do!!!
I was 11 years old when this song was released. Loved it then, love it now.
Oh my gosh me too - was walking home from St Aloysius grammar school in Jersey City and heard this and loved Chicago ever since (with a preference for old Chicago 😌of course, though I appreciate the Cetera poppy era too) I was born in 1963 and I must’ve been 11 like you...memories ❤️
Robert Lamm, lead singer on this song, was born & raised for the first 15 years of his life in Brooklyn. Shout out to Robert.
Chicago and Blood Sweat and Tears was the comeback sound of band with horns. Need to try BST when I Die.
And Earth Wind & Fire!
And Tower of Power.
First time hearing a brass rock album was by Al Kooper who formed Blood Sweat and Tears.
@Point Dexter Another Great

25 or 6 to 4 is a great tune... love it.
Yes 25 or 6 to 4 is a classic, another good one they had with numbers in the title is “Questions 67 and 68”
You have to do it at 3:35am or 3:54am though.
i dont see how anybody could "not like" this song - this song makes you wanna be outside at the park - or in a convertible cruisin' along the coast highway...
Your reaction videos are my everything. This old school goth is so glad you ever so randomly popped up in my recommends all those months ago. Your excited expressions of recognition give me life.
4th of July is on a Saturday this year.
Hopefully we have "people reaching" and "people touching."
As Chicago would call it
"A real celebration."
Stay safe.
Chicago- "You're the inspiration" or "Does anybody really know what time it is."
Does Anybody Really Know What Time It Is, what a tremendous song!
Love "You're the inspiration"
You really need to hear Make Me Smile with vocals by the late great Terry Kath.
Make Me Smile and Colour My World featuring TK with the lead vocals.
Chicago is one of those bands that people have no idea they love until they sit and listen a while then they are hooked.
Your face is always priceless when you realize you will now be able to identify all of this music you are hearing at work. lol I saw Chicago two times in concert. There had been one or two years between the shows but almost every song they played in both concerts were hits.... with no repeats. It was incredible. Thanks for the reaction, Jamel.... I enjoyed it. Take care and be well. Peace.
This brings me back to my kiddie pool on the lawn w/ the adults barbecuing & dancing on the porch...
Great reaction, Jamel!! Gotta suggest "I'm a Man". Awesome vocals from Terry Kath, great precession all around. Guaranteed success!!! 👍🏻✌💯
Chicago - I'm a Man (full version)
The Lovin' Spoonful - Summer in the City
Blood, Sweat & Tears - Spinning Wheel, You've Made Me So Very Happy, And When I Die
A man playing guitar and singing for us all! 🎶🎵 #RIPTERRYKATH
The video version of Stay the Night and If You Leave Me Now would make for great reactions! My favorite Chicago tracks!
Yes!
Definitely a fun video. Go Gators! 😉
Everything about this reaction is what Chicago is all about. 💚😄
This song is a celebration of all people around the world being right here.
TOGETHER.
Chicago - one of my favorite bands. They were truly innovative, especially in the use of the horn section. Great songs, lyrics, harmonies! "Can you dig it?!!!"
12/1 ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh yeah. great memories w this. You've brought a smile to my face, Jamel. Much love my bruthuh
"Feeling Stronger Every Day", as mentioned by others is good!
This song is the happy Summer days in the 1970s at the lake in Chicago! Always brings back me back there again!
Everytime Robert Lamm sings “A man playing guitar, waiting for a song” he points to the sky for Terry.
That change to the bridge “slow motion riders..”. Gives me HUGE goosebumps.
Need to hear Beginnings, if only for the fantastic jam they do at the end.
"Does Anybody Really Know What Time It Is"
YES!!! Exactly!!! Great suggestion!
Does anybody really care??
The BEST Chicago song!!
It's 25 or 6 to 4
This album is one of a few that made me become a Trumpet Player - 60 years old and still payin' my horn every day.... Thank you Chicago....and Earth, wind and Fire.....and Tower of Power...and Louis Armstrong....and Doc Severinson...
I think it was the first Chicago song I ever loved from these great men
I have always loved how cheerful this song is!
Think you'll really like ' Questions 67 and 68 ' , 'I'm a Man ' or ' Old Days '
Definitely "Questions 67 & 68!"
I really miss jazz/rock fusion like this. Chicago, Blood, Sweat and Tears...good lord those were the days!
I was in the park (Grant Park in Chicago) with thousands of others, and it was the 4th of July, and it was a Chicago concert. Just try to imagine the throngs of us on that hot and muggy day, singing along at the tops of our voices with "Saturday in the park, I think it was the 4th of July"! Sheer insanity! LOLLLLL! A memory that will never, ever be forgotten by any of us there. Chicago in Chicago forever
Oh you're in a 70s 🎸 feel good jam! 🎵🎶💖💖🎶🎵
I used to think this was Three Dog Night song. Lol 😆

@The truth Lives top 3 for sure.
You sincerely make me smile every time I watch one of your video's (and I have seen many!) Thanks for what you do!!
Watching you enjoy the songs that are new to you,or songs you had heard but just realized who did them,is SUCH a sweet pleasure. Videos like these definitely bridge ALL people Jamal. Thank you for being an awesome human being,and taking us on your musical journey.🥰🥰🥰
Do “Old Days” if you really want nostalgia.
Another great song. Reminds me of summer way back when. I am always happy when I hear it.
@@nancy9478 Peter Cetera hated that song and didn't want to record it against the record company and the band's wishes. Ironically it became one of the band's biggest hits.👍🙏

awesome - made me go back and listen to this song again - so glad you mentioned it !! Thanks !!! That took me back a ways - was a sophomore in 1975 - old days - the good old days...
This song just feels good.
Such a happy 😃 song!
Long live Chicago ❣️
Robert Lamm, one of the co-founders says when he sings the line "Man playing guitar" he points to the sky and remebers about Terry Kath.
More Chicago: "Only the Beginning" , "Old Days" , "Color my World".
Chicago: "Wishing you were here" and "If you leave me now"
Yesss🥰
Also if you watch Robert Lamm the lead singer who wrote this song when he sings the part a man playing guitar during their live performances he looks up into the sky in tribute to Terry Kath who was the guitarist with Chicago who tragically died.
One of the Top 10 Classic Rock Hits of All Time !!!
Great Summer song : D
"Colour My World" is a stankface love song. Get some.
I remember playing my flute for 6th Grade talent show..haven't thought about that in decades!Thanks for the reminder Hamp! Have a good one and stay safe.
Chicago: Does anyone really know what time it is...
I've been enjoying Saturdays for 56 years now..Thanks Chicago! Can you dig it!!!! High-five! Low-five!! Fist bump! Elbow bump! 2022
Thanks Jamal, you make me smile! Chicago has been one of my fave bands for a long time, i do so enjoy their music. I love watching your reactions, it's like hearing the music for the first time all over again! I can dig it.
Also look at Leonid & Friends covers of Chicago songs.
they are excellent musicians but their vocals are quite poor... it's difficult for Russians to sing American songs properly.
Yes- yes- yes. Leonid and friends are amazing!
You're about to go down the great "Chicago" rabbit hole. Many, many incredible songs to hear and react to. Enjoy :)
Love Chicago and have since 1970. This is my favorite Robert Lamm song. Robert Lamm sings lead and the back vocal is the amazing Peter Cetera. This song gives me chills every time I hear it ❤️🥰❤️🥰
The brass that Chicago had always blew me away from when I was a kid listening to them.!!
I recently noticed the verse chords sound alot like Stevie Wonder "Isn't She Lovely"
I hear it too in the chord progression.
@ShariSez1 I never said they stole it from Stevie, but thanks for letting the comment section know 👌
No
Great watching you dig it! Another 70’s group playing, singing their own songs and slaying it!
I'm in Michigan and the April before Covid, we experienced an unexpected heatwave! The parks were filled with dogs, frisbees, picnic baskets, kids laughing and this song became an Anthem for the day!! Power of Music!

Man my dad was devastated when Terry Kath passed away! Oh yeah, what about “Beginnings”?
I know the feeling Papa.
I was 14 when Terry Kath died. I can still remember where I was (lying in bed in the early morning listening to the radio) and feeling the gut punch when I heard who it was that had died. I was devastated.
This is my era ! I was a teenager when this came out. Their full name use to be Chicago Transit Authority . You're so right, hard to be bummed - out when you here this classic! They do " I'm a Man " . It will get ya goin' my friend. Safety first
The musicians in this band were some of the greatest trained musicians of all time. They KNOW music.
You know, I found your channel quite by accident, and am I ever glad I did! Love to watch you enjoying the great music I grew up listening to. You put a big smile on this grandma's face every day since I found you. Thanks so much! Love & happiness to you, Jamel.
