    I grew up with this great band from the 70's-80's. They were a rock & roll band with horns & blended elements of classical music, jazz, R&B, & pop music. They had a lot of great songs such as "Does Anybody Really Know What Time It Is?", "Beginnings", "Questions 67 & 68", "I'm A Man", "Where Do We Go From Here?", "Free", "Lowdown", "Colour My World", "You're The Inspiration", "Will You Still Love Me?", "Look Away", "Feelin' Stronger Every Day", "Old Days" etc.

    Hi Britt, Chicago is an "ELITE" Rock Band that is also well known for it's horn section; they've been around since the late 60's early 70's and they continue to tour today in 2023!!! Needless to say, they have a "DEEP" musical catalog which you may want to continue exploring starting with a song by them titled: "CALL ON ME" because it too is a "Vibe" & a "Bop!!!"

    I saw these guys six times over the years, starting mid-70s and they never disappoint. The last time, early 90s, they opened for the Moody Blues and a girl who worked for me got us tickets. I took my son, who played the trombone along with several other instruments, and he’s a huge Chicago fan because of the brass being so prominent in their songs. We met my employee and her husband at the venue and she said she had a surprise for us. When we got inside, she found her brother in law who was in charge of security at the venue. He then marched us to the very front (and I mean VERY) where we were allowed to stand at the security railing literally six feet from the stage. It was almost like being part of the bands.

    The song really was written after a walk in the park, describing what was seen, and one of the reasons that it works is because it is so grounded in daily life. In that respect, it's much like "25 or 6 to 4", which is about writer's block, up late trying to get something done....just a description of something many are familiar with.

    OMG my favorite Chicago song. I’ve seen them live so many times. They still tour. They will be in my area in September. Robert Lamb on keyboards ❤️. This video was from early 70s. Beards and hair were shaggy. As you explore more of their music, the hair gets groomed and they really handsome talented men. On trumpet James Pankow sings lead on a song, plays an amazing trumpet solo and then continues to belt out the song. I would need an oxygen tent. 😂
    Special mention, Terry Kath. A great guitarist who passed away in 1978 from a gunshot wound to the head. Kath did have severe addiction issues that clouded his judgement in handling a gun he thought was empty, held it to his head and fired. RIP Terry.
    This song is about sunny Saturday in NYC Central Park. Each level of the story is so true. I recall in the mid 80s I was young and in love. We would drive into the city and just walk. Families, the ice cream vendor, a guy with a guitar playing to a crowd who dropped money into an open guitar case. One time there was a Mime and a guy swallowing swords. Best time of my life. The music of the 60s, 70s, and 80s are a soundtrack. Not to a movie but to our lives. Each musical note is a memory.

    YES!!! I just discovered you and your channel about an hour ago, and you hooked me with reaction videos to Home Free, Morissette, and Angelina Jordan....and then I find you reacting to my favorite band in the history of EVER!! I'm a Chicago fanatic, especially their early days (their first ten years). Great vocals, killer horn section, my favorite drummer (I learned my drum skills by listening to Chicago), and the most underrated guitar player ever. Here are my suggestions for songs that are both classics, and my personal favorites:
    *25 or 6 to 4
    *Make Me Smile
    *Beginnings
    *Introduction
    *Just You and Me
    *(I've Been) Searchin' So Long
    *Questions 67 and 68
    *Colour My World
    Thank you for checking out my band!!!! 🥰

  • @charlesf2804
    @charlesf2804 Рік тому

    I wonder why the cameramen focused on the trumpet player (Lee Loughnane) to the exclusion of the other horns (James Pankow [trombone] and Walt Parazaider (sax]). Anyway, if you go down the rabbit hole you'll find there are two eras of Chicago: with Terry Kath and without Terry Kath. He was their guitarist, and an underrated one at that. He died from a self-inflicted gunshot wound following their eleventh album; after that Chicago transitioned from a jazz-rock group to a ballads group, with Peter Cetera (bass) singing almost all the leads. Many people don't even know about their earlier stuff. If you want to get a sample of what they sounded like in their earlier days, try "Introduction" (first song off the first LP), "Beginnings," "Poem 58," "South California Purples," "Color My World," "Call on Me," and of course, "25 or 6 to 4." Great stuff, and it only scratches the surface.

    I'm one of the biggest Chicago fans ever. Love them so much, have been to many concerts and I own every album they've ever put out. That being said, you folks need to do a search for Leonid & Friends and listen to their Saturday In The Park. They are the ultimate tribute band and if you know Chicago like I do, you'll see that they play the song note for note. Since all of the original Chicago guys (inlcuding me) are old dudes now, Leonid & Friends are a re-birth of Chicago. Catch one of their concerts. You won't be disappointed.

    The combination of jazz and rock, evidenced in Chicago and a few other bands, is what makes this and their other songs so timeless. Key changes, interesting chords, great horn section. Just awesome for the past 60 years! For a live version... today... check out the very good YT phenomenon, Leonid & Friends. Their covers of Chicago (and other band's) songs is spot on and sooo joyful !!!

    Early Chicago is one of the best bands ever. After Terry Kath died it went down hill from there into bubble gum pop.
    The guitar solo on 25 or 6 to 4 may only be second to Van Halen on the stuff you have listened to. "Make me Smile" or I'm a man show off his vocal talents as well.

"Saturday in the Park" is a song written by Robert Lamm and recorded by the group Chicago for their 1972 album Chicago V. It was very successful upon release, reaching No. 3 on the Billboard Hot 100, and became the band's highest-charting single at the time, helping lift the album to No. 1.

    Chicago's "Trumpet Sound" was a Blending of a Trumpet and Trombone. It's one of the Hallmarks of their Songs.
