Laudir de Olivera, RIP, percussionist from Brazil, contributed to songs on Chicago VI and became an official member of the band Chicago with this VIIth album. He added lots of great percussion for at least a few albums and now has a tinge of UA-cam reaction legacy by residing in the back of your head while listening to Hanky Panky/Lifesaver.
This whole album Chicago VII is phenomenal....but you have to listen to it in order with a nice set of headphones....and crank it. Check out "Song of the Evergreens"
This music right here.Especially life saver is why this is the greatest man.They are the most diverse band there is.There was up to this point.There is no other band as diverse as these guys and man.The original chicago was so good so damn good good
These tunes just make me want to find my copy of Robert Lamm's solo album. I can imagine myself sitting in the back of a club with a drink in hand, enjoying them performing this LIVE.
Still my favorite Chicago album after all these years...and def over of my favorite songs. Just takes me back. Still have my original album I bought when it came out when I was a kid. 👊
This song brought back a memory from high school. I complained to my gf that I had no money to take her out and then this album dropped in stores. I ran right out and bought it. She was not pleased! haha
Around Chicago VI they added a session player for percussion, Brazilian Laudir de Oliveira. He became a full-time member of Chicago after this album Chicago VII. Chicago has had a number of personnel changes through the years. They were intact until after Chicago XI when guitar player Terry Kath accidentally killed himself playing with a 9mm semi-automatic pistol and shot himself in the head. In later years founding bass player Peter Cetera left for a solo career and drummer Danny Seraphine was fired. Percussion player Laudir also left the band. Laudir passed away a couple of years ago.
I don't know if you're aware of it or not, but Robert Lamm, if that was indeed the true name of your patron who suggested this song is the original keyboardist and singer from Chicago and is the author and lead vocalist on this tune.
Hanky Panky, Pankow's trombone solo. that moving bass line in it, beautiful.
There is a Russian cover band "Leonid & Friends" which does excellent covers of many Chicago songs.

Love it!
I had no idea he had passed.

My theory is, the real Robert Lamm would have included “Italian From New York” 🎸🎸🎸 in the medley. But I could be wrong.
that funky part in "Lifesaver" makes me strut in my own house when I'm making dinner!
This band was so tight and creative. Keep up the good work. Try Introduction from the 1st album. It has everything.
So glad you're keeping the Chicago train going. Don't forget to check out some cuts from Chicago IV live at Carnegie Hall
Yeahhh. Thanks for the suggestion!
@@SightAfterDark give you guys a lot of credit by not covering their hits but some more of their lesser know stuff
The great Chicago VII - a ton load of amazing musical inventiveness and insane musicianship. Wow.
Robert Lamm is the name of the keyboard player and one of the singers for Chicago. I wonder if it's the same guy or a Chicago fan using his name.
Right? They've also got some requests from Jimmy Guercio. Seems a little suspect. But if it's legit, that pretty fkn cool.
🤷 😆!
Totally a fan. No way the real Robert Lamm.

They were amazing ❤️

Absolutely!
Which one? "Life Is Good in My Neighborhood?" "Subtlety and Passion?"
Fantastic. Another one I haven't heard in ages.
Glad you enjoyed Karen!
The drum part Danny has on Hanky Panky is bad a$$!!
I still spin this album after 47 years. I had a copy on 8 track when I was a kid.
It’s timeless!
Still my favorite Chicago album after all these years...and def over of my favorite songs. Just takes me back. Still have my original album I bought when it came out when I was a kid. 👊
I love that t-bone opening!

😆sometimes the music comes first!
Percussionist is Laudir De Oliveira
Thanks Andrew!
Chicago VII. My favorite of theirs. Just dripping with jazz cuts.
Compositional nuance intersects groove .
This Terry Kath driven iteration understood complexity , without sacrificing relevance .

So tragic regarding Terry. Thanks for all the info; and thanks for watching!
y guess the Robert Lamm Patron who suggested this is also the Robert Lamm of many years composing and playing for Chicago.
We never found out!
A ROCK BAND WITH HORNS.

Check out "Street Player" by Chicago or L&F.
Robert Lamm recommended this? Isn’t there a Robert Lamm in the band Chicago? Hmm…
🤷♂️
Trombone?>?>??
Great album apart from Wishing you were here, I've been searching for so long, when they sold out and went all wishy washy and commercial.
Just a suggestion, don't get too stoned before you react. ;=}
No idea what you’re talking about ;)
Don't know who uploaded that version to UA-cam, but the album version does not end like that. Single cymbal crash? Nah.
THE Robert Lamm? How cool is that?
No way did Robert Lamm request this. They are on tour right now.
Man, you both look dead tired here!
Lol it was a long day 😂
That is not the proper ending to the song. Somebody did a crap edit and posted it.
