Part of the sound track of my teen years. Takes me back to roller skating and hanging out with my friends. These guys couldn't do anything wrong for years.
70s Chicago and 80s Chicago are 2 very different animals. Both great in their own ways. Think my favorite is their song Look Away
I like their 80s pop ballads way more than the 70s stuff.
Ah, the influence of David Foster. He and Peter worked well together, but I feel that downplaying the horn section was a mistake. I love this album, I have worn out several copies of it (while that was still possible), but I like their early music best. Terry Kath was an incredible guitar player.
@@sevensolaris not me
Love her response @ 2:56. "If you can sing it like that, you are forgiven!" :)
Anything they did from 1968 - 77 absolute gold
It's surreal to see others react to this song for the first time since this song has been indelibly stamped in my brain from radio stations since I was a young kid...
Love these guys, but don't let the strings, horns, and harmonies fool you, this is a rock band. Yall need to listen to "25 or 6 to 4" so you don't forget it. lol
True
This song is the first Chicago song I listened to and fell in love with the band instantly!
Wishing You Were Here is one of my favorite Chicago songs
My parents loved them, so I grew up constantly hearing Chicago! Love them.
Chicago is one of the greatest bands ever. I seen them in a free concert in Coney Island. They had to be about 20 members of the band playing all different instruments. These guys are absolutely amazing.
I love the love songs by Chicago…hard habit to break..you’re the inspiration…
My favorite Chicago song. Thank you for reacting to it.
Chicago will never disappoint...
Chicago was 🔥 at weddings in the 70s and 80s. My parents, uncles and aunts...etc. had Chicago playing at every wedding. "You're the Inspiration" and "Color My World" were the one's we heard the most growing up. "Color My World" was my parents wedding song.
To fully understand the juxtaposition T experienced previously - their earlier stuff had a big-band horn section groovy/funky sound to it with songs like:
"25 or 6 to 4" "Saturday In the Park" and "Does Anyone Really Know What Time It Is"
These are ALL great songs and worthy of your reactions.
Later, Peter Cetera (as featured in this song) took over as lead vocals in the early 80s and their sound took on a more 80s dad rock/soft rock appeal - akin to REO Speedwagon, Foreigner, Loverboy, Survivor.
Peter Cetera era had ALOT of love ballad hits and made a lot of women swoon with his voice.
He's also popular for the song to Karate Kid II "Glory of Love". Which is highly regarded as one of the best love rock ballads of the 80s.
Other Peter Cetera fronted Chicago songs worth listening to: "If You Leave Me Now" "Hard Habit to Break" "You the Inspiration" "Look Away" "Stay the Night" "Along Comes a Woman" "Love Me Tomorrow"
Peter did not sing lead on Look Away. Peter left in 1985. Look away came out in 88. I was sad to see Peter go. But Look Away is one of my favorite songs.
Yes... listening now and swooning ;) love Peter's vocals.
My favorite band growing up as a teen in the 70's. Their horn section, vocals, and compositions, made them stand out from other bands.
fantastic song!! I love the reacton too! The smile says it all... 🙂
I watch so many of these reaction videos to my music. Music that spans from the late 50’s to 80’s! Classic rock, Soft rock, Real R&B and I see so many reactors say they love this music. It’s sad to me that I feel they missed out on the greatest era of music ever. Real musicians writing their own lyrics and music and playing their own instruments. There are 3 and a half decades (I feel the late 90’s the music went to shit) of the best music ever created that this generation and others that follow will never experience the greatness. Thank GAWD for RUclips and these reactors for keeping the music alive. Because GOD KNOWS today radio stations will kill it.
I think, for me, it was amazing and wonderful to see young people at a Steve Miller concert...or even Foreigner in the past few years...shoot, even Fleetwood Mac. I feel sad for the youth of today who aren't exposed to such great works of art that I grew up with...and exposed our offspring to, they love it all from big band to today...very eclectic like their parents...as it should be :P.
LOL! Great reaction. Chicago has a bunch more like that.
Softer side of Chicago, "Color My World". It was THE wedding song for much of the 70s.
LOLROF...We call that a "get out of the dog-house" song. There are lots of songs that are "stay out of the dog-house" songs ;) hubs can put on Lou Rawls or some such and I'm good ;) Top 3 fave Chicago songs... 25 or 6 to 4...love the horns... Feeling Stronger Every Day...again...those horns.... and If You Leave Me Now a beautiful smooth ballad... mercy Peter Cetera melts me on this on. You sent me down the rabbit hole...yeah forgot another all time fave... early Chicago, Make Me Smile.
Chicago "Saturday in the Park" is definitely one y'all should check out!!
You two have a wondeful vibe!!! Your voices are ripe for your own radio show or podcast. Def give that "Morning Show" feel!!! Keep'em coming guys..Im subscribed!!!😁
Dialogue parts 1 & 2 is not just a song to me, it's a part of my life. Gotta check that one out!
You two are so much fun to watch!
She says "learn how to sing man" LOL /Peter Cetera has one of the best voices ever.
The lead singer is Peter Cetera and he's had an amazing solo career. Please check out Next Time I Fall In Love with him and Amy Grant. Its a beautiful song!
Chicago is a great rabbit hole to go down
Great reaction!! Ya'll gotta check out Hard habit to break by Chicago! My favorite song by them😁🎶🥰
They are such a great group and such a WONDERFUL song!
5:12; now. go back and listen to the WHOLE song. the brass at the end always got chopped in radio play IT. IS. KILLER.
Hey TNT, Great reaction to Chicago!!! Please consider reacting to another one of their classics titled: "CALL ON ME" it too is another vibe with beautiful music & wonderful harmonies!!!
and oh mercy...the horns...
Chicago was a huge band, so many hits, and a huge solo career for Peter Cetera on top of that. Awesome band.
In case you need more than one apology song, check out Elton John's "Sorry Seems To Be The Hardest Word".
Y’all don’t remember the Az Yet version? Peter Cetera from Chicago also sings a line in it.
The lead singer Peter Cetera is awseome!! Check out his song Glory of Love! It's on the soundtrack Karate Kid 2.
Guys listen to the full version! :-)
If your going the soft rock route, you have to listen to Air Supply.
Chicago was definitely on the play list when I was in high school
Love your stuff guys, chill and cool you are... Smiles
Every time I hear the term soft rock all that comes to mind is Christopher Cross. I'd recommend Sailing or Arthurs Theme.
Oh yes!
love this band and love this song
The previous version of the band--particularly prior to the death of Terry Kath--was more Progressive Rock, from their Transit Authorities days. After the second Greatest Hits album, Chicago felt like the Doobie Brothers after Michael McDonald seemed to take over. The other musicians started to feel more like a backup band for a singer after that. This is a good song, but I don't think it's aimed at the same audience or artistic target as something like 25 or 6 to 4. Then again, they were a lot older by then, and they had different concerns as songwriters, so maybe that's what most of the difference is.
I concur, well said.
I felt the love all around... you two are beautiful.
Peter Cetera left the group after this and spent the next 18 years doing his own thing so he can spend more time with his new baby. He has a great catalogue of his own. A lot of great duets with great singers. He toured with and orchestra. He just retired recently to Idaho.
love your reactions! My God, this song has always ripped my heart!
I’m partial to early Chicago. T, I think the sound you are looking for is from their first 5 albums or so. Try the first song called Introduction off their April, 1969 debut album entitled Chicago Transit Authority. It will be much more to your liking. The whole double album is one of the cornerstones of R&R, simply a classic. 🔥
Lots of dudes punching their pillows to this song back in the day
Chicago recorded another great love song with the Beach Boys doing background harmony. It's titled 'Wishing You Were Here'.
Should have played the extended version. I love the ending. I'm sure you would also.
The writer of this song is the famed writer/producer David Foster. Foster is noted as the man who almost broke up Chicago. He wanted Peter Cetera to lead the band and be their front man. The band said no, so Foster talked Cetera into going solo. Cetera was replaced as well as the late Terry Kath who died in a gun accident. Currently only 4 original members still in the group
I like this song but I much prefer the older Chicago stuff like "Beginnings", "Make Me Smile", "Feelin' Stronger Every Day" and "Saturday In The Park".
Same! They'd be surprised to find that the old Chicago and new Chicago is like living in two different worlds. Both great just the same.
Y’all need to see them live!
I LOVE U GUYS, YOU GUYS GOT ME THRU SOME TOUGH TIMES. i love how your man is so big and tough looking but is such a softie like me, you got such a beautiful wife, i had a woman but lost her to alcohol.
y'all are so cute together,
Chicago has so many great songs, please react to Make Me Smile from their greatest hits cd. All the songs you should react to are from that! Chicago started in the 60's and are still going strong! Thank you for your consideration!
All their stuff in this vein is fantastic. So many songs about love and heartbreak. Please check out "Look Away." Makes me well up every time.
As other commenters have said, the sound of Chicago in the 80's and onward (from album "16" and up) is entirely different from their earlier albums from 1969 (first album they were called Chicago Transit Authority) and through the 70's. Albums 16 (which song is from) through 18 were produced by David Foster, who was a very successful producer and songwriter (Kenny Loggins, Chaka Khan, Lionel Richie, Boz Scaggs and a "million" more), but he changed their style from jazz-influenced rock with lots of horns to a very pop-oriented, top 40 radio friendly style with very little horns. Love it or hate it, they did have their biggest hits during that time frame, but I would definitely check out some of their earlier songs (ie. 25 or 6 to 4, Beginnings, Make Me Smile, etc.)
On a side note, I would also check out the Russian band, Leonid & Friends, on RUclips. They are excellent musicians/singers and they do a lot of absolutely killer covers of Chicago songs with meticulous arrangements (and a couple Earth, Wind and Fire tunes also). If you're interested, here's the link to Leonid and Friends cover of Chicago's song Beginnings.... ruclips.net/video/7kQ1llzPiB4/видео.html
As soon as you hear this song the 1st thing you think about is the karate kid it was the soundtrack for that movie.
You must do 25 or 6 to 4. Major upbeat brass music.
ANOTHER off-shoot genre the POWER BALLADS ...man there was some amazing ones out there. ♥ SOFT ROCK, AirSupply, REO SpeedWagon, Richard Marx, Brian Adams, Elton John, ?Boston, Bread, Kansas, Ambrosia, Kenny Loggins, **female** Taylor Dayne...some harder, but not too hard Love Will Lead You Back is soft rock and is BRILLIANT, Laura Branigan, Spandau Ballet, Orleans, Climax, Paul Davis, Breath "Hands To Heaven"...is just brilliant, The Little River Band, **bluesy jazzy soft rock... Chris Rea♥
I love your huge smile through the song.
I love Chicago they are a lot like air supply but better in my opinion. They have beautiful date music. I danced with my wife to your" my inspiration". Love songs from them because of the jazz and piano use.
I was a bad influence. My brother has a cover band that does Chicago songs. They are complete with horns and sax. My mind is boggled that my little brother sings and plays lead that kills like this. amazing
Do they post on yt I would love to hear
My family is `high on music'. My nephew sung on on the 'Red Carpet' at the Grammys with Range Acapella.
@@akuritt I will post their work on yt but here you go :
It's crazy to be so close to these incredible people. I did things different, in the military. I love them so much
You can't go wrong with Chicago.
Chicago - Love me tomorrow
Chicago is the best
Check out You're The Inspiration by Chicago (if you haven't already)
I believe it can be more than just a love song.... it's more a worship song when the You represents God
The lead singer on this, Peter Cetera, had some great singles as a solo artist. Can you check out "Daddy's Girl" and "Glory of Love"?
I saw them twice in concert.
The next Chicago song reaction should be Hard Habit To Break.
The CTA (Chicago Transit Authority) told them to change the name or get sued.
Lots of rhythm + blues in the early albums. and more power ballads later when David Foster co-wrote and produced material still a little funk and jazz always there
All apologies should be harmonized.
You all should do Hall and Oats: Out of Touch
Beautiful couple
I really hope you will try their song, "Make Me Smile" - thank you.
Good singing from Peter Cetera! 😃 He did not play bass guitar here! 🙄
In the movie 🎥 Summer Lovers starring Daryl Hannah.
Written by Peter Cetera and David Foster 🇨🇦
Before this album. Lead guitarist Terry Kath passed away 😢 The band was high on drugs 💉
The record company ordered them to sober up. They got outside writers to work with the band. David Foster was 1 of them He played the piano 🎹 and produced the next 3 albums.
He brought in Bill Champlin. Before they joined, they wrote After the Love Is Gone for Earth, Wind and Fire. 🔥
DF brought in outside musicians to play with Chicago. Richard Marx, Chaka Khan and Steve Lukather were some of them.
SL played the guitar solo here.
From 1981 to 1983. In addition to Chicago, DF and SL played with The Tubes, Toto and Michael Jackson. Also in 1982, SL played with Michael McDonald in I Keep Forgetting.
DF and SL worked like a dog! 🐕 What do you expect when they played with Toto! L🤣L
Suggested next video 📹 The Tubes. She's a Beauty.
RIP Terry Kath; Tom Dowd and Phil Ramone, each produced a Chicago album.

This is later Chicago, if you really want to hear the true sound of Chicago listen to their early music. They were a much different band before Terry Kath death. He was the soul of the group. You should watch the live video of 25 or 6 to 4 from Tanglewood in 1970. Greatest guitar 🎸 solo I ever saw. Terry Kath was one of the greatest guitarists ever. Jim Hendrix even said that guy is better than me. Terri died in 1977 after his death they went to more ballads. They were still great but the mix of blues and jazz were not the same. Please watch the 25 or 6 to 4 video from Tanglewood you will not be sorry. Just watched the end of your video, that is the newer Chicago. What you were watching was the latter Chicago. There are only 2 remaining founding members still in the band. I'M not saying they are bad its like watching a tribute band. Just saying
This is also the Chicago MOST like.
Absolutely. The early stuff is better than the newer stuff. Colour My World is epic
I loved the old Chicago, jazz and rock and stuff, and Terry was a tremendous (If incredibly troubled and problematic) musician and a good singer, but nowhere ever did they have someone with the vocal capabilities of Peter Cetera, and when old Chicago fans will finally come to terms with it, then we can have a serious discussion about which version of
Chicago is better.
@@bassnote_1 No it isn't.
Edit: Read reply to the other pretentious prat below.
@Bob Leek...Rubbish. This is the TRUE Chicago as well. Don't know where you get the audacity to think otherwise. Yes I do actually....Pretentious music listener. Purists are the worst kind of music fan.
Can you also do "You're the Inspiration" and "Look Away" by Chicago? I love their 80s stuff.
Go OLD Chicago! 70's. Saturday in the Park, Make Me Smile. Questions 67 & 68, 25 or 6 to 4 (live version), Does Anybody Really Know What Time it Is?
There is no other voice like Peter Cetera.
❤❤❤❤❤
If you like soft rock listen to Bob Seger's Shame On The Moon and Like A Rock. Also another great soft rock track is You're Only Lonely by JD Souther...
"Learn how to sing man"... Hilarious 🤣
Check out "Feelin Stronger Every Day" if you have not already.
"Make me Smile", "25 or ^ to 4"
Need to check out 25 or 6 to 4 live at Tanglewood. Best gutair solo🔥💯
This song has a jumping horns outro. Got to listen to the whole song. You missed the icing on this one
Next up should be "25 or 6 to 4"
PLEASE!!! Go back their BEGINNING days... totally DIFFERENT BAND! Check out Chicago Transit Authority and the next 2 albums. The Chicago you're listening to is the sappy product of a collaboration with David Foster.
I love you do some research on the bands and don't guess blind or cold turkey like quite a few other reactors do. "Searching for So Long" is a great one....expanded and remastered version. ruclips.net/video/08sDz9Fqfnc/видео.html especially about 3 minutes in, it builds up in to a good rock and roll song
AGREED, I wished more would look up the back story on the band/song before listening, instead of the blind guessing in the wind about things. Give the honor these artists have earned.
You should check out Tammy Wynette singing It's Christmas. It's pretty good.
You guys need to go listen to early Chicago. The song Beginnings is a classic also this song Does Anybody Really Know What Time It Is. Those two songs are a must listen to
The ‘s’ in Illinois is silent
The greatband
The original Chicago lineup was some of the greatest musical talent ever assembled. Tragically, Terry Kath shot and killed himself in 1978. He was their leader, the heart and soul of the band, and they were never the same after his passing.
This song is typical of Chicago after Terry's death, a power ballad. It's fine, but their early stuff is much better in my opinion. They had a much harder edge with Terry in the band. I highly recommend Chicago's early music.
