From the1978 album, " Hot Streets" this song has the feel of a classic Chicago ballad while maintaining their signature rock sound. Peter Cetera and Donnie Dacus's beautiful vocals deliver a passionate and soulful performance that adds emotional depth to the lyrics. The horns are spectacular and the melodic instrumentation contribute to the overall emotional impact of this song. Just a year after Terry had passed, but never forgotten. 😢 Just a great tune, that is still a delight to hear. Great reaction Harri. Thanks Harri and Neal. 👏👏 Cheers from Canada 🇨🇦
I think more and more, when thinking about my TOP 10 bands of all time, I guess Chicago has to be in it !!!! They got "tons" of great songs over decades !!!
1979. Their last hit for a couple years until their comeback with Hard to say I’m sorry. First album with Donnie Dacus replacing the late Terry Kath. Dacus sings the Im lovin line. Terrific song!
Caught these guys at Sunday Break 2 on the Steiner Ranch outside of Austin, Texas in Sept. 1976. The line up was Firefall, England Dan & John Coley, Steve Miller, The Band, Chicago and Fleetwood Mac. Terry Kath was still their lead guitarist at the time. A day I'll never forget.
@pugowner1347 I was a senior at Round Rock High School in September of '76 and I was a captain and a starting guard on the football team. I lived in Balcones Village near 183 and Anderson Mill Rd and we hungout at Windy Point and LCRA Park near the dam in the summers. I had seen Lynyrd Synyrd and the Doobie Brothers in Feb of '75 when I was a sophomore. I bought the 8-track to Firefall's "Firefall" that summer of '76 as they were getting a lot of air play. I first saw them live in November of '78 at the Municipal Auditorium when they opened for Kenny Loggins. Thanks for the sharing your coool memory
@@pncombies I know these places. I played your school. Defensive right guard, freshman and junior years at Robert E. Lee High School in Tyler, before we moved to Killeen. Joined the Air Force in Oct 77 and unfortunately never went back. Great to hear from you! You didn't by chance catch the band Moxy at the Armadillo in march of 77 did you? Their warm up band was AC/DC in their first American appearance. I hitched from Killeen to see them.
PNC - I am guessing that you must be a longtime Chicago follower. I say that only because many people checking out Chicago don't delve into and find this gem. Wonderful submission choice! Harri, Your review was thoroughly enjoyable,
Dave - I remember being with my father in a novelty store in 1970 and "Saturday In The Park" was playing in the background. I heard "Question 67/68" and "25 or 6 To 4" for the first time in January of '73. I was playing 21 in my new friend's driveway 3 weeks after moving to Austin. I could put together a "Best Of Album Tracks" that would rival anybody's "Best Of" list. I have loved this band for over half a century! Thanks for stopping by!
Neal - Your vivid memories of you with your dad are something very heartwarming, and it has come up on other occasions. As you well know, such memories are cherished and typically last a lifetime. Your recollection of being in a novelty store in 1970 and the impact of Chicago's remarkable music continues today. I am both envious and happy for you. You are certainly a certifiable Chicago fan and I have no doubt that your 'Best of Tracks' would be jaw-dropping. Thanks for sharing this Chicago tune with all of us. @@pncombies
And not for the better. Terry Kath was the heart and soul of this band. After he died and the band caught David Foster-itis, they were never hard- rockin' again. RIP Terry Kath and RIP the real Chicago.
I can remember hearing this on the radio but, in my opinion, it didn’t get the amount of airplay it deserved. Maybe that was just in my area 🤷🏻♀️. Anyway it’s a great song. Thanks Neal and Harri. 🌺✌️
This is one song I kind of forgot about, but I did hear it a lot on the radio. Maybe because I live in Chicago. Their songs were played constantly here.
Smooth Jazzy and funky feel! Peter Cetera's vocals add a richness to this song! I love the bass and the horns and overall instrumentation as usual! Everything is on point!
Chicago doesn't stop, they just keep going on, brilliant song after brilliant song. Sorta like the "energizer" bunny, they just keep going on and on and on...
Yeah, darn that AM car radio sound! And probably hard to find an album these days (to get the intended lyrics). Oops, now I get the pith in your post -- BRILiant ! Thanks!
Sometimes I wonder if Chicago failed to appreciate what a good guy they had with Donnie Dacus, as Terry Kath's successor. Considering all those who would follow, I think Donnie holds up pretty darn well.
@@Kathy-bk6cg Hi, yes, "Hot Streets" was released in Oct. 1978. Not sure when "No Tell Lover" was released as a single- early 1979? I'm sure it's on Wikipedia.
The last great song they did. But does portend to the loss of horn work in the future, depth of the past lyrics and the decintigration of the origional band

👍🤩❤️🤗🇩🇰🇨🇦💐
Well said !
This was their first album after Terry Kath died. Donnie Dacus on vocal harmony and "I'm lovin'".
Now that’s music 🎶
I love all their music but my favorite is beginning.
Can't go wrong with Peter and the boys. Wish Terry could have been around. Great pick Neal my friend. 👍🙃🇺🇸🇨🇦🇬🇧🤴
You sure can't go wrong with Chicago, Daniel! Thanks, brother!

@pncombies once again with a song I thought I was the only one who appreciated. The baseline and drums.
You have good taste, Brandon -- and you're definitely not alone loving this pretty song.
@@pncombies I'd like to see how many people like the song "stay the night"
One of the smoothest bass lines of the decade.
@@brandonious7732 Saw the Cars in '79. 4th row "Candy-O Tour". Love that song -- it's on my playlist. Rest in peace, Benjamin Orr.
1979. Their last hit for a couple years until their comeback with Hard to say I’m sorry. First album with Donnie Dacus replacing the late Terry Kath. Dacus sings the Im lovin line. Terrific song!
Smooth as silk. Peter Cetera's voice. Wow!! The Chicago sound is top shelf material chosen by the one and only pncombies. Thank you brother,👍🤏🤏🤏
The pleasure is mine, Imadrummin. Thank you, sir!
Your enthusiasm my friend is infectious…. Yes, what a great band the mighty Chicago was in the 70s…. Irreplaceable music 🎶!!!

Lucky you!!! Bet it was a freaking blast 👏👏👏👏
Otherwise known as the beginning of the end of Chicago's rock and roll roots and the birth of 80's Cetera ballad rock.
LOL!! Too true!
love it, they tap the horns & drums, bongos amazing song
I absolutely love anything by Chicago. They’re such an amazing group. Thanks, Neal and Harri.
Chicago, Steely Dan -- I can listen to them all day long. As always, my pleasure, Cynthia.
The horns in this song are beyond great. Chicago lives in my audio file ❤
I’ve seen them many times and I’ve loved them since the 70’s! Last time in Charleston on my 60th birthday! Had a blast! And they were superb!

Great reaction Harri, thanks to Neal, very nice.
Thank you, Clint! Nice to see Harri kicking back and enjoying himself!
Released in 1979, about a year after Terry Kath died. Their sound would change a lot.
I really like this era of Chicago. The post Peter era is when I start lose interest.
And not for the better. Terry Kath was the heart and soul of this band. After he died and the band caught David Foster-itis, they were never hard- rockin' again. RIP Terry Kath and RIP the real Chicago.
That was Groovy 👏👏👏

Used to think it was "motel" lover but I guess that's what they are 😄
Yeah, darn that AM car radio sound! And probably hard to find an album these days (to get the intended lyrics). Oops, now I get the pith in your post -- BRILiant ! Thanks!
"Motel" a little bit seedier and direct but a good replacement.
Ha!! Me too! I was probably in 6th grade at the time it came out. Yep …Motel lover!
Chicago Transit Authority. Just a Jam. Listen 🎶. Miss Terry.🎸🌄

Unfortunately this is the single version, there are few cuts, but a great track from 1978s "Hot Streets".
Are you pretty sure on the date ? I saw 80-81
@@Kathy-bk6cg Hi, yes, "Hot Streets" was released in Oct. 1978. Not sure when "No Tell Lover" was released as a single- early 1979? I'm sure it's on Wikipedia.
The great Chicago.
Agree with you about Peter's voice. None of his replacements could touch him vocally.
Love Chicago and their uniqueness. Check out Alan Parson ❤️
The last great song they did. But does portend to the loss of horn work in the future, depth of the past lyrics and the decintigration of the origional band
You were listening to an edited song. Chicago cut out an extra 30 seconds from the original cut,which I prefer.
please give the nick lampe song flower garden you will love it
