This is Peter Cetera's song, from "Chicago VII", 1974. I think it's the most underrated Chicago ballad. Sung in this video by Jason Scheff (Tokyo, 1993).
Great bass playing and excellent vocal! Ladies and gentlemen Jason Freakin' Scheff!!! I was sooo disappointed that he left the band. Such an excellent and humble musician. I never really felt like he was trying to replace Cetera...rather the next bass player/tenor vocalist.
Oh I love Jason on this! I enjoyed Dawayne Bailey's guitar very much too. Love the jazzy feel . Great performance overall! I also saw Lee sing this one last year.. and I love Lee's voice, but I think Jason wins this one.
Heard a cover band sing it and it haunted me for 40 years! Didn't know enough of the words or the band. Put on chicago cd and there it was! Beautiful song.
I'm a cetera fan.. ok he's the original guy... but what do u want the band to do... stop the music becoz cetera don't want to do it anymore??? jason scheff has his own style...just give a credit to him also...
sweet song. definitely one of Chicago's best ballads, and rarely performed. Saw Lee sing it last year, really cool :). I'd like to see Jason revisit this... his voice is so much better now than it was in '93. thanks for sharing this!
Aww when Scheffy was a baby! ♫ ♪ Wow, first time I've noticed DB playing... very nice. And Tris... a ray of sunshine forever. But killer Jimmy Pankow on "GUIRO" haha... Love him to pieces. :-p Such character.
So disappointed when Jason left the band (or was unceremoniously fired?). So many people were critical of Jason bc he "wasn't Cetera". Screw those people! Jason is a tremendous bassist and vocalist. He lifted Chicago when they were on the downfall
You are right Jason does do a great job on this and they brought Jason in because of the similar vocal work to replace PC .... its so hard to see any of the original members not there. Kath's loss killed me in 78 but NO band can carry this bands cred. no one. I really did love Hot Street's hits.
we cannot compare jason with peter or peter with jason, coz their two different man. it's not proper to say one is better than another, the thing is they sing the song whole heartedly and we sing together with their song in the same time.
This is a great version of Happy Man. All you Cetera fans who knock this version are out of it. But you all can take comfort in the knowledge that Peter was no worse than their third best lead vocalist when he was with the band.

Jason Scheff I am pleasantly amazed with your beautiful voice.
Scheff does an awesome job. I like the original but this guy's voice is great for this song.
Jason Scheff had some big shoes to fill when Cetera left. And even though he's no Peter Cetera, Jason did a helluva job nonetheless. Hats off to him.
Great bass playing and excellent vocal! Ladies and gentlemen Jason Freakin' Scheff!!! I was sooo disappointed that he left the band. Such an excellent and humble musician. I never really felt like he was trying to replace Cetera...rather the next bass player/tenor vocalist.
Love Chicago ❤
From Brasil 🇧🇷❤
Jason does a great job on this one. Expecially since it was originally written and sung by ultimate crooner Peter Cetera, who's hard to beat.
My father die 15 years a go... this was one of him favorites songs... every time i hear its like him was here with me.
This guy is a genius, timeless!
Jason does an awesome job on this cover.
Pppppppppppppppppppp

Soo gorgeous😍
Such a sweet cutie.
Beautiful voice, brilliant bass player
I really like this version. Good singing voice and good looking too. Kudos Jeff......
It's so hard to believe Jason was with Chicago for 30 years.....or that this was sung by him 254 years ago. Seems like yesterday...
Jason Scheff, this guy really did to amazed me for having been done much with the original. Bravo!
GREAT SONG. ONE OF CHICAGO'S BEST...

One of my favorites songs of all times. I really like it better sung by Peter Cetera but I think Jason Scheff does a great interpretation.
A worthy cover, Jason... and I ADORE Peter Cetera
Passa o tempo e o que é de qualidade, permanece em nossa memória e essa música (pode ser dizer que é um hino), nunca vai sair de nossos pensamentos.
I agree. Very underrated for a great song.
The best! Very very nice!!
If you watch this video, you must understand why Chicago invited Jason.
Love this song wish Chicago would play it at there concerts

So wonderful!!!
I'm a cetera fan.. ok he's the original guy... but what do u want the band to do... stop the music becoz cetera don't want to do it anymore??? jason scheff has his own style...just give a credit to him also...

I love him
It's hard to match Peter Cetera, by singing this song, yet, Jason Scheff does it very fine.
SIMON
No it’s bad
JASON SCHEFF PARABÉNS 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏MAS O PETER CETERA NÃO TEM PRA NINGUÉM ❤
Agora tem versão dessa musica com ANITTA.....affff.....depois que vc ouve Peter Cetera e Jason SCHEFF....nem o próprio CHIGAGO cantou melhor
Anita mandou bem , quem dera seguisse essa linha, seria uma ótima cantora.
Mas Peter cetera é o The best
It may have lost it's latin tinge but it gained a jazz one thanks to DB's playing.
He has a good voice for Chicago lead singer now
Amazing song!
Great song!!!! Never got much airplay.
Me gustan lo dos cantantes Peter y Jason are wonderful.
