    You have NOT seen every side of Chicago until you've experienced one of their mid-70's, super smooth ballads like "If You Leave Me Now" or "Wishing You Were Here"!! The instrumentation is absolutely exquisite.

    Chicago 19 has A LOT of their best music post-Peter Cetera. "I Don't Wanna Live Without Your Love," "You're Not Alone," "What Kind of Man Would I Be?," "We Can Last Forever" and the other singles from the album. It also has some of the best deep cuts they produced in the 80s, including "Victorious," "Heart in Pieces" and "I Stand Up." It's one of my all-time favorite Chicago albums.

    This was the second era of Chicago after Terry Kath’s very untimely death. The singer on this is the great Bill Champlin who is one of the nicest and funniest people I’ve ever had pleasure to interview. He had his own group in the late 60s to late 70s The Sons of Champlin. They were a hippie/soul/funk band from Marin County just north of San Francisco. You should check out “Get High” or “Follow Your Heart” or “Hold On”. Thanks A&J!

    Consider yourselves lucky as you are discovering Chicago with fresh ears. This way you can appreciate their sound as a whole. They cover so many genres. Thwts the best part. Chicago fans are divided. Those who love the early 70s Chicago for the most part dislike 80s/90s Chicago. 2 totally different sounds but still great music in my opinion. This is why they are the best. If you want jazz rock, psycadleic rock, pop, Avant garde, power ballads, synth pop, intricate instrumentals, Christmas music dammm Chicago does it all. They are to be celebrated

    You see that's the thing though. Chicago form before I was ever born and my introduction was the Peter Cetera era and I heard a little bit of the earlier stuff. Once I got hooked I started listening to everything I could from start to finish. This is why I love all forms of Chicago because they all bring some commonalities that are completely Chicago and then some different things with the changes in the voices of the lead singers.

    Wow. This song brings me back to when I was a Freshman in high school in 1988. It's a great song and it was Billboard's number one song of the year on the pop chart for 1989. I was too young to listen to Chicago in the 70's, even when Peter Cetera joined the band in 1976. I started listening to them in the early to mid 80's when Peter Cetera was still the lead singer and songs like "You're The Inspiration" were extremely popular. I did like the new lead singer of Chicago though after Peter Cetera left the band in 1986 to go solo. The band went in a new and even better direction. "Look Away" was only one of many great songs from that era. The first song released from Chicago with the new lead singer in 1986 was "Will You Still Love Me" which I hope you two will react to. It's a beautiful song.

    "Look Away" is written by Diane Warren with Bill Champlin on lead vocals. The song is the band's only No. 1 single following the 1985 departure of Peter Cetera. Chicago's manager Howard Kaufman suggested that the band bring in outside songwriting help. Kaufman recommended Diane Warren and producer Ron Nevison, who had worked with Heart on the number one hits "These Dreams" and "Alone. Warren wrote "Look Away" from the man's perspective. It featured Bill Champlin on lead vocals and furthered Chicago's shift towards de-emphasizing the band's brass section compared to their earlier years. With Peter Cetera having left the group and "making his own records, it was good for us to release some songs with a different sound like Bill's voice. Then we wouldn't be saturating radio with Chicago-sounding songs."

    This is from the album Chicago 19. Every song in that album was awesome! Great power ballads "Look Away" "What Kind of Man Would I Be?" "Victorious" and "We Can Last Forever" were all major hits for them and solidified their hold on the 80's charts as major rock power ballad groups. Chicago 17, 18, 19, and 21 ( Chicago 20 was a greatest hits album) had outstanding rock ballads and was an era of Chicago I quite like though others may not. But the 60's through 70's Chicago is also quite good with many groovy songs. They have several outstanding Christmas albums and have released albums up to the present. A near 60 year career. Pretty darn awesome! Because they have persevered in the industry they did what all good bands had to do to stay alive, they adapted their unique signature sound to the current trends of the era, but unlike most , they did not compromise what made them Chicago- horns, melodies, harmonies, and musicianship. This is a different kind of Chicago, it was 80' s Chicago. Every but as good as the 60's, 70's, 90''s and 2000's.

    This album, Chicago 18, was the follow up to the very successful Chicago 17. It was the first album without lead singer and bass player Peter Cetera. The legend which is David Foster wrote many of the songs on this album and produced it as well. This would be his last album with the band and arguably the last successful "commercial" album the group would produce as both Foster and Cetera went on to have sucessful solo careers. Us lifelong Chicago fans still love the band no matter if they make chart toppers or not! Thank you!

Their 70’s songs are definitely more rock with brass. The 80’s are synth driven pop with brass. One of the best songs is from their 2nd album, a ballad called Colour my World with an amazing flute solo. Terry Kath on lead vocals. Great song to use for Valentine’s Day. It was a wedding staple when released.

    okay Chicago lead singer was Peter Cetera early on; when he went solo he did a duet wit Amy Grant. They sang "The Next Time I Fall", which was nominated for a Grammy Award for best vocal performance by a pop duo or group. If your asking about Amy, she did Contemporary Christian, pop rock, soft rock. gospel. Amy, as of 2009 she had sold more than 30 million albums worldwide,[3] won six Grammy Awards, 22 Gospel Music Association Dove Awards, and had the first Christian album to go platinum. The song two songs I remember from her has "Baby Baby" a huge pop hit and also " El shaddai" which is a great gospel song.

    I've cried over this song.a lot. As,well as Hard Habit to Break and I Don't.Wanna Live Without Your Love. I've put my pour heart through a lot. That's how powerful these songs are. I'm into sad songs anyway. I'm unique that way.

    To appreciate Chicago, you should go back to their double album in 1969, when they were known as the Chicago Transit Authority. They were a ground breaking band with their sound, Rock fused with soul and jazz. Some songs to consider "I'm a Man", "Beginnings", "Colour My World", "Make Me Smile", "Old School", "Wishing You Were Here", "Just You 'N' Me", "(I've Been) Searchin' So Long", "Love Me Tomorrow" and "Hard to Say I'm Sorry-Get Away" are a few great songs by Chicago.

    The Chicago sound changed in the 80’s and 90’s after Terry Kath died. In the 80’s they started working with David Foster and the big horn sound was pushed more into the background. Some songs like this didn’t even have horns in them. They started putting out more power ballads.

  • @MrSteveLoucks
    @MrSteveLoucks 4 месяца назад +1

    Look Away was the third number one song for Chicago. Charting in 1988, more than 20 years after the group formed, it proved they still had some tricks up their sleeves. Their evolution into the 80s largely eschewed the horns in favor of power ballads. I'd recommend checking out their follow-up, a top ten hit, called You're Not Alone.

    When the group were struggling to sign with another record label, some were willing to sign them but without the horn section. Chicago's sax player Walt Parazaider said, "It was like taking the piano away from Elton John, it doesn't happen." I could understand why labels wanted to do that since most of their success in the 80s were done without the horn section. This 1988 Number 1 showed why. Lead vocalist of 'Look Away' is Bill Champlin who joined the group in the early 80s to compliment Peter Cetera's voice. It worked when they'd hit with songs such as 'Hard Habit to Break', If I'm not mistaken, this was Chicago's last number one hit written by one of the best songwriters of our generation in Diane Warren.

    Their final #1 song…18 years after they first hit the Top Ten. They would have two more hits after this, too.
    Yes, as noted in other comments, no fewer than FIVE different lead singers at various times, and they ALL had Top Ten Hits. Peter Cetera had two #1s, Robert Lamm had a #3 ("Saturday in the Park") and other hits, Terry Kath had a #7 ("Colour My World) which had been the B-side of his own "Make Me Smile" (which was #9), Jason Scheff reached #3 ("Will You Still Love Me") and #5 ("What Kind of Man Would I Be?"), and this is Bill Champlin, who besides this #1, also got to #3 with "I Don't Wanna Live Without Your Love". Remarkable versatility, honestly.
    I mean Styx also had five different guys sing lead. (Dennis DeYoung, James Young and John Curulewski, originally, and then Tommy Shaw replaced Curulewski and eventually Lawrence Gowan replaced Dennis.). But only Dennis and Tommy were singles forces. So Chicago's ability to prosper with all the different voices and styles is indeed remarkable, IMO.

    • @jeffmattson5766
      @jeffmattson5766 6 месяцев назад

      Chicago is great and versatile as you said. I love Styx also. James Young (JY) sings lead on some Styx songs and might have had at least 1 hit.
      Didn’t the Eagles have hits with 5 different leads? Frey, Henly, Meisner, Walsh and Schmidt I believe all had top 10 hits, but I could be wrong and I don’t feel like researching.

    Knowing how much you love Chicago, and how much you like a horn section, and great percusion, you need to check out songs from their album NIGHT AND DAY. It is a collection of big band songs from the 30's and 40's. In particular. SWING SWING SWING, and IN THE MOOD

    Amber - 25 or 6 to 4 (“25 or 26 minutes until 4am”), which is the time it was when songster Robert Lamm looked down at his watch while writing it. Hope this helps you remember the title of this GREAT song!

    My wife and I grew up through the early Chicago and into the 80s. Different singers, drummers, instruments. A few years ago we went to a Chicago concert. We were surprised that everyone available was there and they did highlights through the entire catalog. When it was time to switch from 70s to 80s the drummers did a 45 minute drum off. Such an amazing concert.

    CTA (Chicago Transit Authority) started in the late 60's and had to change it to just Chicago. Their 70's Terry Kath guitar and brass version of the band is a totally different style than the 80's power ballads.

    This song was song of the year for 1989, if I remember right. Perhaps that was one year off. I remember listening to the year-end countdown on the radio as a teenager and this song was last at #1 on the countdown. You might also try "Niagara Falls" and "We Can Last Forever" and "Will You Still Love Me." Peter Cetera singing "Hard Habit To Break" is also pretty smooth.
