Check out "Color my world", "Feeling stronger everyday", "Wishing you were here", "If you leave me now", "You're the inspiration", "Make me smile", "Searching so long", "Baby what a big surprise", "No tell lover", these are great songs you will love!
"Along Comes A Woman," "Hard Habit To Break," "Stay The Night," "Wishing You Were Here" (with the Beach Boys!!!), "Love Me Tomorrow," "If She Would Have Been Faithful"....... Man, they have a massive catalog of awesomeness!
Look Away
OMG! I forgot how much I love "Color my World." But Chicago is consistently great music.
I haven't heard No Tell Lover un sooo long!
Make me smile is a great song 🎵
Peter Cetera's voice, the harmonies, and the arrangements make this song an absolute classic. You have to be heartless not be moved by it. Many tears have been shed to this song.
👍💕
Yes, it's a TIMELESS CLASSIC!
Play Sole Vaccination by Tower of Power, Horn overload, it’s fantastic.
It’s emotional for a love song.
Peter Cetera also did the main song for Karate Kid 2 the glory of love Chicago is the bomb
Peter Cetera. One of the most underrated singers of all time. His range is great and the clarity of his voice is amazing.
Also one of the most underrated bass players of all time. Listen to his bass line on "Poem 58" from the original Chicago album--astonishing!
and with his teeth closed too
We are so so lucky to have had such iconic music from the 70’s, 80’s
None of them are 'underrated'. They had great success. What are you talking about?
@@baronmeduse Humans like to misuse language now as if it doesn't matter and one of the words they have FUCKING HIJACKED is UNDERRATED. It doesn't mean what they think it does, and you are dead right, PETER CETERA IS FAR FROM UNDERRATED.
Chicago is just one of those groups that gets better with age
Show of hands. Anyone else learn through this channel that you took great music for granted? ✋🏻
There are songs I’ve known for years whose lyrics I finally paid attention to on this channel. Grew up in an era where you could “set it and rip the knob off.” You could watch MTV for hours and not hear/see a bad song. Seeing younger people react to songs I’ve loved for years like they opened a present has given me a new appreciation for the music I’ve listened to my entire life.
very well said.....
It's why I enjoy reaction videos. They listen to music you love, but maybe you haven't heard in a while, as you say, took for granted. Kind of like finding something in your attic, or closet that you haven't seen in a while and brings a smile to your face.
Yes! You nailed it!!
These two, in particular, are the best at it. I never miss a reaction on this channel. Amber just gets it!!! She’s wise beyond her years. They are such a fun couple!!
This is one of those songs that I would not deliberately go out of my way to listen to, but if it's on a compilation cd or happens to be on the radio, I'll gladly sing along, and surprise myself with how much of the lyrics I actually know.
Facts.
Been loving Chicago since they hit the scene in the late 60's. Their catalog of music is deep. This song was written by Peter Cetera who sang lead. Others have already mentioned other songs by them. You should definitely go down the rabbit hole on this group.
In the time their songs were in hitparades was hard to say which are Chicago and which is by Peter cetera himself. The sound was similar and those songs were great.
@@drakulkacz6489 I'd say they're almost all Chicago because Cetera's time as a solo hitmaker was quite brief and two of his biggest were duets. One Good Woman is the only one I'd be tricked on.
Peter Cetera's voice is unreal. I've never heard another voice like his. Piercing, perfectly clean, perfect pitch.
80's Chicago is something real special!
The reason this sounds different is that most, if not all, of the previous songs you've heard were with guitarist/lead singer Terry Kaith. The lead singer here(and in most of the songs in the 80s and beyond) is Peter Cetera. The Cetera era of the groups is marked by a stream of hit pop ballads. Cetera said that after the insane success of "Your The Inspiration", no one wanted to hear anything but love songs from them and the band was trapped into that genre.
Well then they shouldn't have been so dang good at them. Chicago 17 was incredible.
Yep, and producer David Foster was really pushing for Peter to do more songs that focused on him in the lead vocals.
Just like the Doobie Brothers & Journey, they both had a slightly different sound with their former lead singers. When they changed lead singers, they tailored their sound around not only the talents of their new lead singers (Michael McDonald & Steve Perry), but also the changing sounds in music at the time, and the changing music industry, itself (MTV).
Just like The Doobie Brothers & Journey, Chicago has fans of the before, and fans of the after. But one thing they all have in common, they all had much more commercial success, after the switch to the new lead singers.
Got to hang out with Peter Cetera when I was in the TV biz, lovely fella
Kath was just stupid. Dumbass put a bullet in his own head, and it wasn't suicide. He thought it was an unloaded gun and he was screwing around trying to be a clown.
This song on the album actually leads right into "Get Away" which is exactly what you'd be expecting from Chicago. Lots of horns, driving beat.
Yep, I had the original álbum, played it constantly and to this day, whenever I hear this song I'm expecting it to morph into that rockin' tune at the end.
Great point. I never hear one without the other.
IT'S SACRILEDGE to listen to this without that ending!You tell 'em NavyVet!!
The Bee Gees actually did help out on their Hot Streets album in 1978! The Bee Gees lended backing vocals on the song Little Miss Lovin’ off that album. In return, Chicago lended their horns for The Bee Gees’ 1979 Spirits Having Flown album
You like Peter's voice. You HAVE TO do a reaction to "If You Leave Me Now!" It's Peter's masterpiece!
Yesss!!!!!!!
Oh yeah--if you leave me now! They have to hear that next!
Absolutely!!
AGREEEEEEEEEEED!!!!!
It must be hard for you guys in this era to really understand that a lot of these bands didn't just do rock or blues or country or whatever. They were very versatile and experimenting with their sounds. They did all sorts and catered to all tastes. They were always evolving over time and of course we who grew up with them were the lucky ones who followed along. It was a magical time with new bands and artists coming out most weeks with new music, on the radio and TV show and live gigs to promote their albums and 45's.
So very well stated Jennifer. That’s why I love reaction channels - this is one of the top 3 - I appreciate a different generation and their views of our generation’s music.
Great observation! Yes, musicians from the 60's and 70's especially drew on all the styles of American music. They didn't allow their music to be forced into "radio" genes per se, and felt free to be artists. It makes all the difference in the world.
Welcome to the amazing vocals of Peter Cetera. This is one of my all time favorite Chicago songs/ballads. Others to check out include If you leave me now, You're the inspiration, Look away (my ALL TIME fave song by them), Hard habit to break, Will you still love me?, I don't wanna live without your love, Baby what a big surprise. Peter also did other songs solo like Glory of love, One good woman, plus two duets; one with Cher called After All and The Next time I fall with Any Grant. Can't wait to see you guys get into more songs by Chicago and Peter Cetera
The next time i fall in love is one of my fave 80's ballads..... So pretty.
The fact is, every one of the 80s songs that were any good were from 70s bands and some 60s. The 80s folks should thank the 60s and 70s artists for all that great music that was given to them. That was the flow. I m sure the 90s looked at the 80s and said, UGH and did their own thing wich wasn't much because most of the grunge folks died early.

Glory of Love and After All definitely need to be on their lists to check out. Few singers can match Cher’s powerful voice in a duet but Peter Cetera did it with ease. And Glory of Love is just classic Cetera. 😊
This is one of the most beautiful songs ever recorded. You guys have to check out "Glory of Love"
Seriously guys, if you enjoyed this, you are going to LOVE " Hard Habit to Break ". There is something in there for the both of you, harmony, HORNS for Amber, and kick ass arrangements.
YES. A Hard Hsbit to break, is an AMAZING song!
oh you can say that again, jeeeeeez....
yes i love that song!!!!! especially that instrumental part!!!!
One of the best harmonizing groups of all time. I remember playing this on low with a bus full of Marines and a few yelled for me to turn it up. They then in unison began singing at the top of their lungs the chorus.
Makes me wish I could have been there! What a special memory! Thank you so much for sharing. ❤❤
Nice!! I would have loved to see that!
Toto is another one.
“If You Leave Me Now” is a Chicago must! Also…”You’re The Inspiration” “Saturday In The Park”
Instantly transported back to my 80’s school dances… this was one of the required slow dance songs
YESSSS!!!! Pine Brook Jr HS… and the guy was either a Mike, John, Jason or David
You blew it. You should have listened to the complete song with the "Get Away" attachment at the end. Filled with almost nothing but horns...and force.
yup, they missed the icing on the cake!
Yes Amber, the upbeat instrumental you seek is just the other side of the wonderful segue to Get Away. Enjoy!
ruclips.net/video/EORSLz0_BRU/видео.html
or better yet, the live version ruclips.net/video/sLVKd1lhgOQ/видео.html
I cry when I hear this song. I have done so much wrong in my marriage, I cannot believe that it survived. I love my wife so much, she put up with my crap! I have almost 30 years invested in this love. My God, I cannot live without her breathing next to me. Thank you God above for the gift of family! Thanks!
This is one of the most beautiful things.. I have ever read in my life.
Thank you for sharing this. It's inspiring.
Hope it’s going well👍👍👍👍👍👍
@ Shad S
Make sure and tell your wife these things.
I try to put it in words the best way I can as often as I can. Thank You. You are so right.
@@Music-Is-Real-Love Thank you Lisa for your kind words, they mean a lot to my family and I. We forget the simplicity and the depth of a promise made when we stand before God when we get married. Too many people these days disregard these vows as needless statements made in haste. If more people took these promises to heart, I believe that the world would see more of the sunshine. Thanks!!!
You guys should check out "The Glory Of Love" from the Karate Kid 2 soundtrack. Great 80's song by Peter.
"Will You Still Love Me" has one of the most glorious endings of any song ever written in my opinion. Gives me goosebumps on goosebumps ... somewhat akin to the last minute or so of U2's "Where the Streets Have No Name" in that the power and beauty at the end of both songs just absolutely packs an emotional wallop, to me!
Will you still love me, a perfect wedding song.
I was 10 years old and being moved from foster home to foster home. One of my foster parents played that song and it just HIT me. At 10 I took a different meaning to being loved than the song is about but I just felt it’s what I wanted to ask each family I was moved with. I been a fan ever since!
I COMPLETELY agree. I love that song sooo much!!! I get goosebumps every time I listen to that song. ❤️
Jason Scheff's big hit with the band. He was a great replacement for Peter Cetera.
Peter Cetera was phenomenal as the lead singer. Just like Steve Perry was to Journey. Just a great time for music.
David Foster wrote this song. Musical Genius. This is one of the greatest love songs ever written. Chicago the band are tremendous players. Peter Cetera's voice pulls the heart strings like few others. If you've ever been in love, you cannot be unaffected by this one. Especially when it does the ritardandos. Makes me cry every single time. Now I have to blow my nose... thanks for that!! LOL!! For me this represents the pinnacle of their post Terry Kath era.
David Foster ruined them
David Foster is a great songwriter, he has written more songs than you can throw a stick at not just Chicago but he did a lot of work with Peter Cetera. I first heard of him when he worked on Captain Fingers in 1977 with Lee Ritenouer.
If you like this one, you will love "If you Leave Me Now". Demonstrates CRAZY range as well. They are the kings of ballads.
Totally agree with you Jamie. Chicago is my favourite ballad band with Air Supply a close second.
Definitely!!
OMG that song used to make me cry when I was young! Hit my little heart with the FEELS!
The album version as I recall had a bit more of the usual Chicago flair, but this song promoted lead singer Peter Cetera to heartthrob status. Check out Peter's duet with Christian singer Amy Grant, The Next Time I Fall in Love.
Because Peter Cetera Ruined the Band.
Omgoodness! Yes! I forgot all about that duet. Oh please! React to this duet.
@@anthonyperrault1805 The band wasn't doing well before this. Chicago 13 and 14 were flops compared to their past albums (Street Player was the only hit, and it didn't get much radio time), Robert Lamm was practically part time due to an unfortunate drug addiction (he thankfully got over it a few years later), and the members didn't know how to bring the band into the 80's. Peter Cetera kept Chicago alive when they otherwise would've fallen apart.
@@DarthSantaFe Yeah I remember terry was thinking about leaving the band before his tragic accident.
That's Peter Cetera..for ya.
Smooth as silk.
No other voice in the Indusry.. sounds similar to his.
So unique during Ballads..where he shines brightest.
I love both eras of Chicago. They are different, and both amazing!
Peter Cetera is insanely good as a vocalist. He ended up going solo in the 80's after a huge string of Chicago hits, and has several international hits to his own credit if you want to check some out: Glory of Love was his first major hit, included in The Karate Kid II soundtrack. He also sang a duet with Amy Grant, "The Next Time I Fall".
Another great 80's Chicago hit: Stay the Night.
Just got to the end of the video - this is the shortened radio single, you need to check THIS version out - you're missing about 1 - 1.5 minutes of classic Chicago that I know Amber was waiting for: HORNS 😎 ruclips.net/video/46eHGUqQKS8/видео.html
The Next Time I Fall is an awesome song
"Next time I fall" is sooo good.
ruclips.net/video/WQKqp_rZbVk/видео.html
Adding to the request. Next Time I Fall. One of the best duets of the era.
He and Amy Grant together are amazing. Speaking of Amy Grant, with December starting tomorrow, her Xmas song 'Breath of Heaven' is my favorite modern Christmas Song. However, nothing beats Nat King Cole's version of 'The Christmas Song' from 1961....that's on a level all by itself for me.
@@user-or1ye3iz6d Peter Cetera is an excellent vocalist. You need to hear Peter Cetera's duet with the R&B group As Yet and their a capella version of this song.
Jay/Amber- You’re The Inspiration is another beautiful Chicago ballad from them with an amazing message. Love to see you react to this georgeous song.
Definitely a great follow up to this one. "The Inspiration" was school dance and roller rink couples skate royalty.
The Bee Gees and Chicago are 2 different cultures of Rock. You'd have to follow Chicago from the 1st album through all 38 to hear their progression. One thing you can say they are all masters of their craft.
David foster is behind this era
Chicago wrote their own songs
This is the awesome 80s Chicago! Peter Cetera is the lead singer who also has some amazing songs Solo.
The lead singer of Chicago was Peter Cetera, who started a solo career. YOU MUST listen to his song Glory of love!!! Jay will love it!!! And Amber too! :)
I would also agree!
Glory of love was pretty lame. Pete stepped the other band mates faces on his way out the door. Next time I fall was very beautiful..............
He's right
This
@@gregorycrnkovic1660 Chicago was never good again once he left.
This was written by lead singer/bassist Peter Cetera and producer David Foster. Foster was an 80s hit maker. And Peter is an amazing songwriter and singer and bassist. They collaborated on many more songs, all hits, both in Chicago and Peter's solo career. Glory of Love from Karate Kid 2 was probably their biggest hit together, but this one was one of my favourites.
foster is from my home city vancouver bc canada
Welcome to sappy boy club😂
Love anything that Chicago does! They are amazing!
I would love for you to do one of my favorites by them, "Wishing You Were Here," which has harmonies from the Beach Boys in it. Just gorgeous.
Yes! Wishing You Were Here. One of my top 5 favorite songs from when I was a teenager in the 70's. If you both loved this song, you'll also really like Wishing You Were Here----guaranteed! :)
Awesome tune
They have had so many lead singers for different songs. Terry Kath sang Color my World and unfortunately he passed away. Peter Cetera was probably the most successful from the group-he went on and did so many great songs solo and duets. Robert Lamm fronted Hard Habit to Break and Will you still love me. Great band from beginning to end.
Interestingly, their two best selling singles ever were "Will You Still Love Me", sung by Jason Scheff (Peter Cetera's replacement) and "Look Away", sung by Bill Champlin (who played guitar with them in the late 80s.)
I've always had a crush on Robert Lamm 😍
I think Cetera shared lead vocals on Hard Habit to Break. Don't recall Lamm on that one, but could be wrong... going off memory. Regardless, anyone who was in Chicago was amazing. Enjoyed all of the songs.
wow. way wrong
@@anthonyperrault1805 yeah, Will You Still Love Me is a Jason Scheff song and Hard Habit To Break is Bill Champlin and Peter Cetera. Robert Lamm sings on songs like Does Anybody Really Know What Time It Is and Beginnings.
The transformation of Jordan as a lover of the ballad is so fun. It should make Amber fall in love with him all over again on a deeper level. 😍🥰❣️
I believe this to be one of the very best songs of the 80's. Another great one is You're the Inspiration.
Oh man, I wish you guys would've done the whole song, there's another part at the end of this called Get Away, and that's where your horns come in, so awesome! You guys absolutely have to do more 80's Chicago with Peter Cetera singing. My fave is Stay the Night, but also If You Leave Me Now, You're the Inspiration, Hard Habit to Break, If She Would've Been Faithful.
If she wouldve been faithful, the best. funny you mentioned you liked the ending. That is the part i have always hated. I always clip it out on my files. Glad to finally hear someone mentioned they liked it because up until this point i have never heard anyone say they liked that part.
@@bobapjok4241 oh wow, I always hated when they cut that part off on the radio, how funny 😁 I love the change up!
@@marlenabenson I loved the Get Away ending also!!
@@bobapjok4241 right there with you. I always hated that part, and it doesn’t fit in with the song at all!
Slight correction: "If She Would've Been Faithful" was recorded after Peter left the band. It was sung by Jason Scheff.
“Look away" is a great song. I believe it is about being heartbroken after a breakup.
Chicago- inspiration...a beautiful song
Some versions of this song have an extended ending called “Get Away.” That gives you the horns and fast-paced ending! 💜💙💜
Woooo yes! I love that and it sounds so weird without that dynamic ending! Wooohooo!
THIS THIS THIS ruclips.net/video/EORSLz0_BRU/видео.html
Yes!!!! Thats my favorite version and I immediately was like Oh no! They shut it off too soon! Lol!
Yes it’s the best part of the song
the best version!
Chicago is so multi talented with songs ranging from 25 or 6 to 4, Make Me Smile, I'm a Man to softer sounds like, If You Leave Me Now and Wishing You Were Here. Chicago has been active from 1967 up to the present. RIP Terry Kath going way to soon, what a guitarist.
Chicago had some beautiful ballads. Next I recommend "If You Leave Me Now", "I've been Searching So Long", "You're the Inspiration", "Love Me Tomorrow"
Peter Cetera, the bass player, has a wonderful, soulful tenor voice. can be soft but can also belt it out! His voice is great for the several ballads Chicago put out, along with harmony from Robert Lamm (piano/keyboards). The version with the trailer called "Get Away" is much upbeat with horns! You'd like it. Also, last time I will mention, you always say how much you love horns, but don't think you have reacted to their best song which highlights the horn section (trombone and trumpet) called "Questions 67 & 68.
This version with the extended ending is the best.. honest Peter Ceterra was The ballad maker of the 80’s. When I was a little girl I’d listen to this and Power of Love and dream of dancing with my husband to them… I thought he was the most romantic song writer ever! 💜
When it comes to ballads Chicago and Peter Cetera are one of my all time favorites! He did some wonderful music after he went solo too, and his ballads are some of the best music of the '80's for me.
Their song "your the inspiration" is amazing.
Always loved this song. First heard it in the early 80's. Chicago will go down as one of the greatest bands of all time.
This is my favorite song from them too. I'm a sucker for a rock ballad love song!! 💕💕
Many of us hard core Chicago fans from the 70s didn't like much about the 80s version of the band (sometimes referred to as the Peter Cetera Era), but I'm learning to appreciate it. They dropped their long-time producer, James Guercio and wound up doing some albums with the infamous David Foster (big on swelling strings) who helped them create some major hits in the 80s.
I am still (like Amber) a 25 or 6 to 4 Chicago fan (though my all-time favorite Chicago tune is Dialogue parts 1 and 2), I like this song well enough, but I like it a lot better when they don't fade out before the second song of the medley, Get Away. It's brief, but it kicks major booty.
I love you guys!
If it weren't for the 80s Cetera era, I may not have discovered the 70s. 💜
Been a Chicago fan since this song..
My parents were huge 70's & 80's Chicago fans..
Honestly, if it wasn't for the 80's Chicago I'm not sure I would've listened to the 70's Chicago..
So thank goodness for them either way!!
Here's a song that makes a man uncomfortable around his significant other :)
Good comment, but I'm afraid I'll never come to appreciate the '80s Chicago. You're a better man than I if you can. That said, clearly Foster latched onto a commercially successful formula for them, but at the terrible cost of their unique '70s sound and artistry..
I was a big fan of Chicago during the course of their first 13 or so albums, and saw them many times in concert. While I am familiar with and can appreciate much of their later music, I find it to be too commercialized. They were much more innovative on their earlier albums.
“You’re the Inspiration” is their best. Then Peter Cetera went solo and did “Glory of Love” featured on Karate Kid II
Oh I hope they do Glory of Love
This is a band really defined by two eras set apart by the tragic death of the guitar player Terry Kath. I totally enjoy both aspects of this marvelous band hope you all enjoy the ride.
I love how you 2 can disagree but still say what you feel about the music.You 2 are my favorite reaction duo.
"You're the Inspiration," by Chicago. You owe it to yourselves. It might just replace this one as your favourite.
Jay if you enjoy this song you might enjoy Hard habit to break.
Chicago was a massive band lots of good talent
My mom is a Boomer baby. So she did contribute a lot to my musical background. I know Chicago, Foreigner, The Bee Gees, etc. FANTASTIC Music! I feel no matter the skin color, the mid 80s to mid 90s is 'True' Music. Heart felt, deep meaning music. I have to say Music 'Now' can NOT compete now...
Chicago has evolved over time and different band members have come and gone. However, one thing that has always been consistent with the band Chicago is that they have always had amazing ballads. I'm sure the good people who wrote comments below mine have given a list of incredible Chicago ballad tracks to check. And I sure hope you guys do!
Chicago's Ballads Suck and Peter Cetera ruined the Band. Go listen to the first 3 Albums that you no nothing about.
Hi J and Amber, I know I've tried to suggest quite a few songs that Cher has done duets with a few of your favorite groups or members of a few of your favorite groups. The lead singer of Chicago is Peter Cetera He wrote a song pretty similar to this a song called "After all" he specifically wanted it to be a duet and he and Cher were on the same label at that time. The executives suggested to Peter to have Cher do it with him, he wanted anyone but Cher....Cher wanted to do the song with him so much that she did a demo of the song and gave it to the exec's, they liked it so much that Peter Cetera ( the writer of the song ) was forced to sing his Parts with Cher's demo and it was then released on Cher's album. Cher also does a live version in her tours without Peter Cetera. It kind of became a Cher duet....Talk about what a powerful woman Cher is. check it out After All
Peter also produced a wonderful album for ABBA starlet Agnetha.... they dueted on I WASN'T THE ONE WHO SAID GOODBYE. Albert Hammond from the 70s wrote a few songs on that album called I STAND ALONE.
One of the largest and best musical catalogs ever made by one band
This is a total resurgence of Chicago from the early mid and late 70s. This was their comeback album were they dominated from around 1983 to 1989
Chicago was always fantastic…and Peter Cetera has one of the most distinctive voices in the music industry.
Its been said so many times here.
It was wonderful growing up in a time and generation with such a wide variety if real music and such genuine talent.
I can barely listen to what passes for popular “music” today.
I long for the day of turning on the radio and hearing those sounds.
I was born in 1953 and raised with 2 older siblings . I got the best of the range from the early 50s thru today. Not to mention my parents exposing me to the great music of the 30s and 40s.
Wow
Right, it seems like the 'artists' today have no formal musical educational training and at times also limited talent. It also seems the production of some songs is more geared to people without an artistic bone in their body.
This version of Chicago is really driven by David Foster who didn't join the band but teamed with Peter Cetera (the singer) through out the 80s to write mega hits for Cetera's Chicago work like this song and "Your the inspiration", as well Cetera's solo hits like Glory of Love and Next time I fall. Definitely check out Cetera solo stuff he is up there with Phil Collins in terms of 80s pop male solo voices.
I was really hoping🙏🏽 y'all would be listening to the original version for this reaction, also called the "long version", because the stuff you said you were expecting in the beginning of your reaction (horns, fast pace) is exactly what you get.💯😊 Where this video cut off is just the radio edit.😕
Chicago ballads have a life all their own. Nothing else compares!
A very musically diverse group with their song renditions… They could do anything and it was good and it’s still good all these years later
I was a teen in the 80s and this is the Chicago I knew best. Boy, I remember many days and nights listening to Chicago while pining away for someone and crying. Ha ha.
Definitely jump into more 80s Chicago -- "Stay the Night," "Look Away," "You're the Inspiration," "I Don't Want to Live Without Your Love," "Hard Habit to Break."
He has a great voice. I love all of his songs. My favorite is your the inspiration which I had the radio station play for my girlfriend. And After All was a wedding song of a friend. Glory of love is another top favorite of mine
There was 2 Chicago's pre and post Terry Kath. When the first album came out most radio stations would not play it, the songs were too long. This was when most cars had only AM radios and they only played songs 3 min or less. FM radio was just getting started and they would play the longer songs. Introduction was the first song on their first album and was a concert favorite. Your lady would love this.
Chicago has something for everyone.I also love their soft stuff.The horn is in this one,but very subtle.Love the strings.
Pete Cetera Sang 25 or 6 to 4 and he's great on the love songs as well.Sounds amazing.He sounded so great over those strong instruments.I absolutely love the guitarist Terry Kath singing "Colour my world",and "Make me Smile."I'm 66 years old,and have lived through the whole Chicago experience.ILove Chicago, they don't have anything bad.All of it has something good in it.They are a special group.Check out "Saturday in the Park".Piano and Horns abound.
💯 All of their music, regardless of decade or singer, has been amazing.
Peter Cetera's voice is liquid gold. ❤
David Foster arranged the songs for this album in 1982. He is an amazing arranger, but Chicago was not happy with him producing this album because they felt like it wasn't the Chicago "sound". Hard to Say I'm Sorry reached #1 on the Billboard Hot 100 for two weeks in June 1982.
Kinda missed the version with get away attached to it. It has this amazing horn section. Peter Cetera's voice is rocking. You might want to revisit this song with that attachment. *Love ❤️ Peace ✌️ and Happiness 😊 Y'all !!*
The Russian cover band Leonid and Friends does an an AMAZING version of this, with Get Away at the end. Its fun to watch them sing and play, they look like they are having such a good time.
This song was on Chicago's 1982 album Chicago 16, and the band did, indeed, change their sound on that particular album. After founding member, guitarist & lead vocalist Terry Kath died in 1978, bassist Peter Cetera took over more of the lead vocals. Their biggest, most well known hits came from 1967 to 1975. Cetera left the band for a solo career in 1985.
This is the late 70s and early 80s version of Chicago. The brass and horns version of the band was the late 60s to mid 70s. In between a few of the original members passed away.
You obviously picked up on THIS Chicago's lead singer Peter Cetera. They've been around for a LONG time and have gone thru several changes with respect to members. I love Chicago and have listened to them for years and I'm going to recommend 2 songs-"Saturday in the Park" which has the "25 or 6 to 4" feel and "If you leave me now" which has the more melodic "Hard for Me to Say I'm Sorry" sound.
As probably one of your eldest family members I think that you guys being exposed to music from the 60's, 70's, and 80's, you're helping to preserve the "teachers and influencers" of today and tomorrow, so THANK YOU for that.
I think you've GOT to listen to the song "Hallelujah" by Leonard Cohen but the version done by Jeff Buckley. The song has been covered by dozens of artists and unfortunately Jeff Buckley passed away too early so he wasn't able to get a chance to show the world his talent, but in MY opinion, this version is the best of the many.
I heard Buckley's version but also they should listen to the version by Pentatonix .Both are beautiful.
If you want other Chicago ballads in the same vein as this one, I recommend Hard Habit to Break and You're the Inspiration. Peter Cetera also had a successful solo ballad that was featured in the second Karate Kid movie. It was called Glory of Love.
The love ballads from the 80's are nice, but I will always prefer the early Chicago music with the horn section from the late 60's and early 70's.
Wish this version had "Get Away" at the end. You'd get your horns! It's my ringtone.
When Jay talked about the tears conning, my eyes had already swelled up and I just grabbed my Kleenex. The "majestic" beauty of this song has always moved me to tears. This was the perfect transitional bridge of Chicago transforming into their new 80's sound. It was used in the sexy movie "Summer lovers" on the Greek isles.
"If you leave me now " is up there with some of the finest ballads ever written !!
Not sure if it had been mentioned yet but "Hard Habit To Break" is another good Chicago song. Also there is "Will You Still Love Me" which is after Peter Cetera left the group. Now if you wanna explore Peter Cetera solo or in duets, try "The Glory of Love" (solo), "Next Time I Fall" (duet with Amy Grant), and "After All" (duet either Cher). Also since Jordan is getting into love songs, try some Air Supply.
From what I've read, Peter Cetera wrote this song.
It was one of the most popular songs in the '80s. I used to hear it a lot, through most of the decade. It's definitely one of Chicago's classics.
Peter Cetera had one of the most beautiful voices ever! You all should listen to Glory of Love.
Try Saturday in the Park, You're the Inspiration, or Stay the Night.
There are so many, it's hard to choose. . They have 37 studio albums from 1969 to 2019.
Chicago is really talented. You need to check out their song called The Inspiration.....soooo good 👍🏻
"Hard to Say I'm Sorry" was the beginning of Chicago's reinvention to 1980s MTV- their Comeback. Unlike some of the big 70s bands like Boston, Kansas, Electric Light Orchestra who couldn't make the transition- faces Made for Radio; Chicago rebranded, clean themselves up, cut the long hair, shaved, Peter Cetera started going to the gym, lost weight, dressed nice- he became the FACE of the Band.
A band with three lead singers can really harmonize!
I'd love to see you hear "Wishing You Were Here". To me, it's a song of longing wrapped in a surreal dream.
Have a great day!
A beautiful heartfelt song that is out of character for a group is "When the Children Cry" by White Lion. They are a hard rock band but this song is out of character for them and is incredibly beautiful and touching. It did not get a lot of radio play in its day because it was so out of norm for the group.
That and wait are great songs from White Lion
My favorite White Lion song has to be Lady of the Valley. Great music, vocals and guitar melded with an awesome story.
@@Niklarus2010 I honestly don't know the song off hand. I'll take a look, thanks.
This is from a time when power ballads were all the rage. Chicago was one of only a few groups that transitioned from rock and roll through the disco Era and on into soft rock and ballads. Kept them on the charts and in fans hearts in 3 plus decades. Not too shabby
Chicago had more than one lead singer over the years but Peter Cetera was and is my absolute favorite. His voice made me melt and I always loved singing Glory of Love from Karate Kid II.
This the same singer (Peter Cetera) as 25 or 6 to 4 believe it or not. After their lead guitarist Terry Kath died, the band drifted for several years. In the 80s they hooked up with David Foster who along with Cetera, moved them in this direction. Quite a different sound, but they had huge success in that era. They had three main lead singers which is fairly unusual, bassist Peter Cetera, keyboard player Robert Lamm (Saturday In The Park, Beginnings, Does Anybody Really Know What Time It Is) and lead guitarist Terry Kath (Make Me Smile, Color My World, Introduction and one he and Cetera sang together Dialogue Parts 1 and and 2). They also had some songs where all three took turns singing verses (I’m A Man). This is a deep rabbit hole I hope you explore more. They were my first concert in Portland 1972. Unforgettable night.
They also had huge hits with Jason Scheff (Will You Still Love Me) and Bill Champlin (Look Away).
Their lead singer Peter Cetera and Cher also did a duet called, After All
Many of Chicago's ballads during the '80s and '90s were penned by David Foster; he wrote hits for Earth Wind & Fire as well.
The 70's were an amazing time for music. So much great talent crammed into one decade!
