When I was a teenager (I was born in DC in 71 & grew up on Route 1 right outside of the city) Chicago was 1 of those bands you didn’t dare admit to liking….well a lot of time has passed & this song & “Feeling Stronger Everyday” are both just reeeaaally good songs 🤷🏼♂️🖤I mean good is good ya know?
The group, Chicago started in the late 60s - and had quite a combination of instruments blending together. Of the original 7 members: 1) Peter Cetera - was lead singer in many of their songs. He wrote some of the music, and he also played bass guitar. 2) Terry Kath - played lead guitar, and actually was lead singer in a few of their songs. His guitar-playing was noticed by Jimi Hendrix who spoke very highly of him. Terry Kath's voice was quite unique also - he was a fan of Ray Charles, and when he sings you might notice that it sounds kind of like Charles. 3) Robert Lamm - played keyboard, and was the lead singer on many of their songs. Lamm wrote many of their songs and was gifted in songwriting. 4) Danny Seraphine - drummer. He definitely could play the drums! 5) Walter Parazaider played the saxophone. 6) Lee Loughnane - trumpet player. 7) James Pankow - trombone player who also wrote some of their songs as well. Each musician wasn't limited to the instruments that I had just stated, but those instruments were the ones they played the most. The band has had many changes over the years and decades, and exist until now: 11/12/23. They have had 37 albums from late 60s until this date of 11/12/2023. There is a current Russian group that plays many Chicago songs, and they play them very well. That group is called 'Leonid and Friends'. Leonid and Friends also play a few 'Earth, Wind, and Fire' songs - and they do it very well! Enough said.
Throw all the studio albums out and watch the full length Tangelwood Live album then you will experience the Real Chicago!!!! Make me smile, 25 or 6 to 4, I'm a Man! It will blow your flipping mind how they were!!!!
I want to start off by saying that Terry was a great guitar player. But the rest of the band where also very talented. I know that the band thought about quitting after Terry died. But when you experience a tragic and unexpected death people have what can be seen as strange reactions. It should be obvious that Chicago still had a heart and soul or it would not still be functioning. Chicago is a band and their sound comes from the interaction of the many different instruments and voices in the band. Their latest CD , Born for This, is great. The last Chicago concert that I saw was in 2021. It was fantastic and I noticed many "younger' people in the crowd. Yes I do remember Chicago when it first started. I was 16 when Chicago was formed. Chicago great then great today!
Julio, don’t feel bad for not having heard of Chicago before this. I’m 60 years old, and I’m always “discovering” bands that I wish I’d discovered years earlier. There’s only so much time in the day, and music is infinite. The fact that you have the desire and musical sensibilities to explore the infinite landscape of music is a blessing which will serve you well during your hopefully long and happy life. Btw, I’ve been an AC/DC fan since High Voltage. Rock on, brother! 🤙
Hendrix said "I'm a good guitar player, but this cat blows me away." He was referring to Terry Kath. Listen to 25 or 6 to 4. You will hear him at his best! Gosh, it was a damn hard day as a kid when I heard he died. My family were all musicians and it was such a loss in 1978.
NOOOOOOOOOOOOO !!!! Not the cut out Make me smile. It is just the first and last part of "Ballet For A Girl In Buchannon" . They also cut another song from the middle of it called Colour My World ."Ballet For A Girl In Buchannon" studio version is 13 minutes but I recommend the live tanglewood version which you have to check to see that it is 14 Minutes. There are cut up versions of it also.
Kath was a legend in the eyes of legends! Jimmy said terry was the best he’s ever heard! I agree! And his voice goosebumps city from a PR🇵🇷from chicago
Blood Sweat and Tears started a genre of horn bands in the late sixties. After Chicago's success,the funk movement arrived with the Brecker Brothers and others. Chicago's arrangements, guided by Terry Kath's voice and guitar, were extraordinary. Peter Cetera on bass and vocals was great, too. Their whole vibe changed when Davis Foster entered the picture and put Cetera singing power ballads above the horns. This album was their best.
Well Brecker Brothers is a name not many people bring up. Kinda sad when that's who us musicians in that time period were listening to and learning from. Still listen to the "Heavy Metal Be-Bop" album today.
I'm 45 years old. They were one of my favorite bands in '86. Karate Kid II. Peter Cetera was the sole lead singer then. Chicago 17. But anyway, after Terry Kath died in 1978, the band went more pop. I love early Chicago, with Terry Kath. Solid rock with a horn section. BRILLIANT!🤗🤙🤘🙌👏👏👏👏
Chicago was an amazing band. Terry Kath sang lead on this one, and was the guitar player for Chicago. Sadly he died in 1978. If you like rockers, listen to pre 1975 Chicago. Later Chicago was good, but mostly sang ballads. I prefer the early Chicago. More rockers than ballads, but their early ballads were quite beautiful. Everyone's favorite being "Color My World, also sung by terry Kath. Rockers...Free, Question 67 or 68, Lowdown (not the Boz Scaggs song), Does Anybody Really Know What Time It Is, and you have to listen to Beginnings, a masterpiece. Can't go wrong with early Chicago.
This album version is extended from The am radio , too forty version which was common those days.. these ‘fm’ tracks showed the full songs and talents of the groups.. especially with Chicago who’s musicians were extremely talented.. please sample and review anything from their first few albums .. as a guitarist ? You’ll appreciate Terry Kath who Hendrix thought was better than himself
This is actually the single version of the song. The album version is a 7 song suite known as "Ballet for a Girl in Buchannon". The single version takes the opening song "Make Me Smile" and adds the song "Now More Than Ever" to the end. "Now More Than Ever" is a sort of reprise of "Make Me Smile". Personally, I prefer the "Ballet". If you want some incredible guitar work, watch the Tanglewood concert version of it.
Check out the first LP Chicago Transit Authority for some heaver stuff like Listen, Poem 58, Liberation, Southern California Purples, and yes, Free Form Guitar for some ear porn.
Just another note... I appreciate the fact that you know music and respect it, so many don't. Even tho your head be bobbin', you can see that you are really watching and listening with intelligence. I can't watch what so many others do who don't know anything about music and interrupt every 5 seconds... 🤣 I would love to see you get to 10,000 subs soon, you are good at this imo... Bless You, my Brother! 😎😎😎
During an interview Jimi Hendrix was asked what does it feel like being the best guitar player in the world and Jimi pointed to Terry Kath and said I don't know why don't you ask him. Jimi was a very humble person but Terry Kath was on the same level as Jimi with his guitar work.
Terry Kath was their fantastic guitar player & singer on this song. Sadly Terry died in 70s from a gun accident. When They lost Terry they lost the soul of their band. Chicago songs to check out from their FIRST album when they were still called "Chicago Transit Authority" Track 1 on that album is called "Introduction" That song will take you thru the whole genre of just who Chicago is in one great song. Another song on that same album is their cover of "I'm A Man" !! After that album they shortened their name to just "Chicago" & dropped fantastic songs on the music scene like "25 or 6 to 4" & "I Just Want To Be Free" Try those to start.
Glad you are listening to the great Terry Kath. If you have time check out Oh Great Spirit. Terry's dedication to Jimi Hendrix. That solo is really good.
Oh, my Dude! Thank You for reacting to this... Actually, the guitar solo is longer on the original LP. I have been a drummer since 1974 (12 years old) and I had the Original 'Chicago Transit Authority'' album that came out in 1969... Terry Kath is lead vocal and guitar on this song. He died from a gun cleaning accident back in 1977, I think? RIP ~ After he died the band became less Jazz/Rock and became more known for their love song ballads in the '80s... lol Thanks for taking the time to do this, great honest reaction, highly entertaining! 😃😃😃
Hey Raymond. I'm Steve, Class of 1970, St Catherine of Genoa grade school, Chicago. Someone brought a radio on the last day of school; sitting on the front steps, we heard Make Me Smile for the first time. (WLS, or WCFL!!) Awesome tune! Drummer Danny Seraphine challenged my nascent playing like no one else I had heard up to that point. (Of course, I later heard Tower of Power, EWF, etc.) Took me awhile to figure out the MMSmile solo! Mike Madden, Peter Kennedy, Phil Pajak, Jack Butler, Chris Pajak and I got to jamming on Chicago tunes after that! The original line-up is top shelf. God bless! www.amazon.com/Street-Player-My-Chicago-Story/dp/0470416831
It used to be here on youtube, but I think it is gone now, but in my opinion, the very best performance of this song, is in the medley called, Ballot for a Girl in Buchannon, live at Carnegie Hall.
Terry passed, they broke up briefly, David Foster entered, as well as the 80’s. Peter Cetera refused to play bass anymore. They became an 80’s ballad band. #theterrykathexperience was available to buy 2018. TERRY WAS THE HEART
Chicago's early work were a far cry from Disco. They were a mean little kick-ass hard rocking band before they turned soft. Check out the first 3 albums. Then go a little further and you'll see how progressive they truly were.
I'm a guitar player currently playing Bass in a horn band . Playing a lot of Chicago, Blood Sweat & Tears, Steely Dan, etc. It is the most fun I've had playing in years. I would recommend checking out Leonid & Friends, a Russian Chicago cover band: they are simply amazing. Chicago band members have played with them on gigs. Check them out on You Tube...Nice reaction BTW! I just subscribed...
TERRY KATH GUITARIST SOULFUL VOICE IN THIS SONG... CHICAGO, "MAKE ME SMILE". CHECK OUT LIVE AT TANGLEWOOD AWESOME CONCERT FOOTAGE... MAN TERRY WHAT GREAT VOICE...
Hey, man! I enjoyed your reaction! I'll subscribe and see what else you'll check out. Terry Kath, on vocals and guitar, was irreplaceable. His tragic, accidental, death rocked Chicago. The group continues playing to this day. I have seen them four or five times. Just not quite the same. He was the soul of the group. The longer version is better but I'm just glad you at least tried this one. I would suggest 25 Or 6 to 4 as your next reaction, but I pretty much love anything they did in the 70s, you really can't go wrong!
Every word you said was true that. Thanks for this reaction, and watch Chicago with Terry Kath, the singer and guitarist in this live version: (101) Chicago - Make Me Smile (1970) - UA-cam
check out LEONID and FRIENDS a russian Chicago cover band, they're awesome and the Chicago members are fans. . . . in fact, they've got one of those orange amps in their video
Back when being in the car ( AM radio ) and the stoner on the late night radio ( FM ) with the lower voice is playing the " other " hippie type stuff. And mom and dad's music was played polkas ( last name says it all ) " Their " music from WW2 and country music. Sorry, still can't listen to polkas, and not so much operas either !
So good to have another Chicago fan. Here' the next level... check out "Leonid & Friends". They are from Moscow and are here and now. They play Chicago better than Chicago ever played as a tribute to their love and admiration for the music. I have to listen every day for the high they breathe into the music. They even give stage time to members of Chicago to close the gap between now and then. Worthwhile listening. It will hook you to both bands and the music.
Just had to watch another reviewer Bobbing out! Slow down you are going to hurt yourself or shake something loose, I am 70 years old and heard this 50 some years ago the first time when I was a teenager. WTF??? Count how many people here who review this song, every body and their brother think they are Important Music Critics on You Tube.

You have no words ??? You could start off with "Holy Shit, man" ... we all did when we first heard it 👍😁.
Terry Kath THE MOST UNDERRATED singer and guitarist of all time!!!
Early Chicago. Fire !
Throw all the studio albums out and watch the full length Tangelwood Live album then you will experience the Real Chicago!!!! Make me smile, 25 or 6 to 4, I'm a Man! It will blow your flipping mind how they were!!!!
There's a great documentary about Chicago on Netflix,Great doc
Awesome!!!
Listen to Questions 67 and 68. Beautiful song. The drums are a huge part of the song. My favorite!!!!!
In 1978 I saw Aerosmith. Vancouver B.C. Packed house at Pacific Coliseum. AC/DC was the back up band.
I want to start off by saying that Terry was a great guitar player. But the rest of the band where also very talented. I know that the band thought about quitting after Terry died.

Absolutely love the drummer playing in cut time that’s not easy
The best of this video is to see the man banging his head all the song long.
😊
Thanks for reviewing great music. Try 25 or 6 to 4 Live at Tanglewood. Best guitar solo all time.
Early Chicago with Terry Kath was fire.
You Have to do Live I’m a man, Beginnings, 25 or 6 to 4. You have to feel the live energy at a concert! RIP Terry Kath

You only heard about half of this song. This is the short commercial version. Look for the original long version! Thanks for posting, bro!
A tale of two Chicago's, pre Kath tragedy and post Kath tragedy. Try 25 or 6 to 4; Beginnings, Dialogue, and Hideaway.
Early Chicago with Terry Kath was by far the best era. He was truly the heart soul of that group.
Such a tragedy.
The live version from Tanglewood.

South California Purples (2002 Remaster) is a complete classic rock jam. You will be amazed!
Life’s for learning

Yay! Thanks for doing Chicago. Hope a "25 or 6 to 4" reaction is next. 😊👍
Great choice! After that, Beginnings....

You are thinking of Chicago after Terry Kath died.
After that there music was more pop.

I dig your EVH guitar ;) Cheers. also.. if you haven't listened to it yet.. do "25 or 6 to 4". trust me
70s Chicago rocks. After Terry Kath died , they went soft
They turned 80s pop love songs after. Thats why you might have thought disco
hard to watch this video with the incessant begging for the viewers to subscribe throughout.
So good to have another Chicago fan. Here' the next level... check out "Leonid & Friends". They are from Moscow and are here and now. They play Chicago better than Chicago ever played as a tribute to their love and admiration for the music. I have to listen every day for the high they breathe into the music. They even give stage time to members of Chicago to close the gap between now and then. Worthwhile listening. It will hook you to both bands and the music.
