Not only can Terry Kath play a guitar ,his voice is just as incredible. A founding father for chicago.
Jimmy Hendrix was asked who was the greatest guitarist and he said Terry Kath( Enough said) Rip Terry gone so young .❤️🙏😢

Tanglewood Summer 1970 and the song ‘Colours’, led into ‘Make Me Smile’ just a transition
Real musicians, Real vocalists, Real talent……..
Terry Kath was amazing. His voice was underrated and his guitar playing was legendary 🔥🔥🔥
Terry Kath's soulful voice and guitar playing are powerful! Chicago's horns section and overall instrumentation are legendary! I had the pleasure of seeing Chicago and Earth Wind and Fire perform together in St. Paul, Minnesota several years ago! Both groups horns sections and vocals ROCKED the house! The song's ending is legendary!
this was the edited version of the suite "Ballet for a Girl in Buchannon"
This requires an entire album listen. A darkened room, headphones or superior speakers. Psychoactive substance optional. All four sides. The original vinyl is wonderful. The songs meld together and make the whole greater than the sum of the parts.
Might be my fave Chicago song. AKA, i believe, BAllet for a Girl from Buchanan. I love Terry Kath's voice and guitar and Danny Serafine's drumming.

Chicago IMO is the classiest Rock Band in all of Rock n Roll History. Long Live Terry Kath!
Take solace you're at least half the age of the music you're listening to and your listeners so if we survived, you will, LOL! Most of us would love to be 30 again! Thank you for Chicago.
There's another band from this era that has a similar sound and was as popular as Chicago (for awhile). Blood, Sweat & Tears has some good stuff. And When I Die, Go Down Gambler, and Lucretia MacEvil are a few good ones,

Blood, Sweat & Tears was actually a reaction to Chicago. Al Kooper saw Chicago in California and decided to put a similar band together in New York. BS&T even released their first album ahead of Chicago's, which was still in negotiations with the record company.
this might be the most underappreciated vocal performance in popular music history....
song written by the trombonist - James Pankow. Actually, from this album (their 2nd album titled Chicago II) the whole side (except for Wake up Sunshine) was written by James Pankow. I love how they end it like it begins.

The suite is sweet
This is the beginning and end of a side of the album, the side is called "Ballet for a Girl in Buchannon", and it includes "Colour My World".
*Chod and the lovely Dee* !!! GEEZ..... I was *waiting* for you to get to some classic Chicago.! I KNOW a bunch of people will recommend this but *CHOD* you have to show *DEE* 25 or 6 to 4 live at Tanglewood.! And for that matter the song *Beginnings* from the same venue.! R.I.P. Terry Kath, gone wayyy to early but never forgotten.! Come on *CHOD* pull the trigger and show her 25 or 6 to 4..! Asking for 10,000 Friends, lol... *David* .....
I have been listening to classic Chicago all week. My brothers were a decade older than me and played trumpet and trombone. They loved Chicago and I adopted their record collection very early on, lol. I've seen Chicago live. Such an incredible band! I love this song!
Your wife's smile is so infectious. It made me smile so much just seeing you two enjoying the music of my youth.
Early Chicago is so good, and this song is one of the best ... out of several hits.
The entire side of this Chicago II album is outstanding!
This was one of the great songs by James Pankow, Chicago's trombone player, who also did so many tasteful and interesting horn arrangements for the band.
This song is so good that the ending sounds like riding off into the sunset.
2 MUST HEAR Early Classics,, Chicago "Does Anybody Really Know What Time It Is?" & "Colour My World" (When Released,, MANY Would Choose/Use This Absolutely Beautiful Classic For Their Wedding Song,, Including My Own Sister... R.I.P. Jeri..Love & Miss You Terribly 🙏 ❤

those are amazing songs love early Chicago Terry Kath Era
I tend to lean more towards their earlier stuff, but I like their later stuff as well.
Chicago was great, I’ve seen them in concert 2 or 3 times and their early music was the best
Dee was moving EXACTLY in sync with the rhythm. At the beginning, she was bobbing quickly, right with the band. Really like when Dee's here.
Terry Kath, (the guitarist) is in my opinion one of the greatest guitar players of all time. (I don’t believe in the concept of GOAT, but I DO believe in a collective GOAT category. Chicago II is an incredible piece of work, and in my humble opinion, I think it is Chicago’s best album. I strongly recommend it to anyone that likes Chicago.
I love Chicago's music, such a fantastic group, been listening to them for decades
Love you guys....your reactions, always open and sincere.
Chicago is the name that was used after the first two albums. Originally titled The Chicago Transit Authority or CTA. The City of Chicago threatened a lawsuit if they continued to use the name.

Before CTA, the band was called "The Big Thing".
Sweet Home CHICAGO!!!!!!!!😎
OG Chicago was the best!
Had this single when I was...15? But as someone else has suggested--listen to "25 or 6 to 4"! Kath was one of Jimi's absolute favorite guitar players.
This is an edit of the full "Make Me Smile" suite, found on the "Chicago II" album. If you can, check out that full version...Keep up the great work!

You need to play the album version with the whole suite of “Ballet for a Girl in Buchanan “ . So unforgettable you will want to play it over and over 👍🏻❤️✌🏻🎸
So obvious you two are a happy couple. Really enjoying you both listening to music from 50 years ago.
Terry Kath was know n as a great guitarist but he was the best vocalist in Chicago to me
I had Chicago 7 album and showed how versatile they were. So many hits.
Funk, jazz, blues and rock, this band was extremely versatile during the Terry Kath era. Kath played lead guitar and was also the lead vocalist on Make Me Smile.
I’ve been a Chicago fan since the beginning. I have listened to their songs over and over again for more than 50 years. I never get tired of their music. It dawned on me years ago why that was. It’s because it’s all feel good music. Many rock and roll bands play music that is more sexually based and at times even nasty. That’s not Chicago, you wouldn’t be ashamed to let your grandmother listen to their music. Every time I listen to Chicago makes me feel good.
One of my absolute faves from early Chicago!! I hope you guys love it too!!
Chod, I'd recommend "Just You And Me" and "Question 67 And 68" for your 11th and 12th Chicago song!!!

Color my World is a good one
"I'm a Man" and "Color My World", early Chicago really rocks!
60s and 70s Chicago was great. 80s Chicago turned very pop. But, even a couple of fun 80s tracks, too.
"Beginning" off the Chicago's first album sung by Robert Lamb is the bands greatest track

I would love to see you review Leonid And Friends as they pay tribute to Chicago. I think you'll be impressed with the timekeeper and guitarists. Most definitely worth watching.
I Love ❤️ Early Version Of CHICAGO I Also Like Some Of Their 80s Ballads, I Love ❤️Lets Get Down And Dirty Rock n" Roll 😂😊
I was in a drum & bugle corps, when this song came out, and we did this song, so it works great for marching band!
I can see you appreciate Chicago's fantastic timekeeper. You're pretty good in your own right. Enjoying the post.👍
This is one of the greatest songs ever.
I also like both earlier and later Chicago, but with a preference for the first couple of albums. I was in my 20s when those albums were released. Listened to them home alone with headphones and at gatherings with friends. But, in spite of their great horn section, I never associated Chicago with marching bands. Thanks for the memories.
This was a part of The Girl From Buchanon. The record company compressed it without their knowledge. Listen to the whole thing. This is a great song, but much better as a part of the whole.
Perfect music! I love Chicago. 🎶🎶🎶🎸🎸🎸👍
Real instruments, real voices ✌
That whole concert was cool. I love their live. Not always the greatest quality vids but I like it better
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", "Saturday In The Park", "Colour My World", "You're The Inspiration", "Will You Still Love Me?", "Look Away", "Feelin' Stronger Every Day", "Old Days" etc.
Nice to see happy people react to happy music!
Saw Chicago and Doobie Brothers concert in 1974, they were phenomenal! Also, there's a tribute band from Russia (Leonid & Friends) that does amazing covers of Chicago songs on KZread, including this one. They are touring right now and I have tickets for them at end of May - worth checking out!
This band had some tight butt horns! And yes, it was in the hippie era! These guys had so much versatility. I disagree though this is the kind of tune that can pick me up on a down day. Early Chicago was my favorite. "Questions 67 & 68" is amazing. And yes, my 67 year old knees are telling you to take it very easy on yours!
Early Chicago aka Chicago Transit Authority was incredible. IMO after the death of Terry Kath, they did elevator music. Might I suggest Blood Sweat & Tears? Go Down Gambling When I Die (With a great tuba solo) Lucretia McEvil When I Die Symphony/Sympathy for the Devil 40,000 Headmen Spinning Wheel.

love the trumpet solo in Spinning Wheel. Must be album version. Lew Soloff on the trumpet
My favorite song for over 40 years by Chicago and image the look on my face when I purchased for the first time the cd itwas on and I found out it was the beginning and the end of a 12:55 minutes song. Threw me, but the whole piece is great.
Terry Kath was one of the unsung heros of rock guitar
Chod, they didn't change their style ... Terry Kath, the lead guitarist died from an accidental gunshot wound to the head (was playing around with it, thinking it was NOT loaded). He was the main driving force to the band's sound. The person who took over lead vocals was their bass player, Peter Cetera, another of their lead vocalists. He's ok, just not as good, nor do they write as good of songs anymore without Terry's input and ideas. The 3rd of Chicago's vocalists was/is Robert Lamm, but he doesn't seem to sing much anymore. So, it wasn't so much an old and new, as it was the original and what was left after their "soul" died.

Correct, after Terry's death the record company insisted they release love songs after having a couple of love song hits. Their heart died along with Terry.
This version is the "single" release of "Make Me Smile" from Chicago's eponymous second album and is actually two tracks edited together. "Make Me Smile" by itself is the opening track of a seven movement suite titled Ballet For A Girl In Buchannon". The single release appended after the guitar solo the closing track of the suite, " Now More Than Ever", which is a reprise of" Make Me Smile". There are three instrumental movements and four with vocals. Terry Kath has lead vocals on " Make Me Smile", Colour My World", and "Now More Than Ever". Keyboard player Robert Lamm sings lead vocals on the second movement, "So Much To Say, So Much To Give". You really need to experience the entire suite in one sitting to appreciate the talents of Chicago's members and the ensemble as a whole. There's Chicago with Terry Kath and then there's sappy ballad "Chicago Lite" after Terry's accidental death in 1978. Everything after Chicago XI is the post-Kath era and is drastically different from their roots as a rock band with horns.
Happy Birthday, btw, Chod, enjoy your day with your lovely wife and family.
Terry Kath singing. His gravelly voice has often been likened to "the white Ray Charles" and is very accurate comparison. If one listens to the music/songs that follow they all tie into one another, thus creating the "Ballad for a girl from Buchanon" as was written by the trombonist - James Pankow. Also, on the album, this song is interrupted by the accompanying songs and then the ending of Make Me Smile returns for the ending of the ballad.
Your wife was really funny when describing all the transitions it took her. You were both going there but she best you to it. I'm a black 63 year old man and grew up on Chicago and alot of rock as well as R&B.Back to you and the Ms I enjoy your commentary. Keep up the good work and good music....peace
Go to the band's debut album as The Chicago Transit Authority and check out "Poem 58" for pure FUNK! That track with Terry Kath on guitar more than any other displays why when Jimi Hendrix saw the band playing at The Whisky A Go Go he spoke to them between sets and told them, "you guys have a horn section that sounds like one set of lungs, and a guitar player that's better than me!"
"Beginnings" First song on Chicago's (they were called CTA then) first album. Introduces the world to their style with everyone having a solo to showcase their talent. Wow what talent they have. Check it out. You will not be sorry.

The first song on the first album is "Introduction", written by Terry Kath and lead vocalist is Terry, and it does introduce the band to the listener and asking the listener to give the band a chance to play for them. "Beginnings" by Robert Lamm is the third track. That entire double LP debut is LIT! Interesting enough is that at the end of the last song on the album, "Liberation", Terry also sings the only line in it, "Ohhhhh, thank you people!", thanking the listener.
Chicago used more then one singer. But in this song, Singer and lead guitar player Terry Kath ( who sadly died from an accidental gunshot at only 31) was called “Best Guitarist in the Universe.” ~ by Jimi Hendrix - High praise from the original Guitar God himself.
The "marching band" part reminded me of Saturday afternoons watching spaghetti westerns on tv long ago. "Wishin' You Were Here" next? Have a great day!
I always feel like I'm pestering reactors about why I love early Chicago, but I feel a little more comfortable commenting to a drummer how one of my biggest heroes in music is Danny Seraphine. Everyone else is always talking about the vocalists or the guitars, and that's great. But there is something I always enjoyed about Seraphine, and that's not that he's a lunatic or loud or overpowering; I think he's a brilliant drummer in how he's done his fills in all the early Chicago songs. Virtually no one EVER reacts to "Beginnings," which I feel is a showcase for Seraphine. And the recording was nice and dry. No echoes, just solid hits on the toms. Just sayin'. "Make Me Smile" has one of his classic fills before the instrumental lead-out, but "Beginnings" does the same. I just wish more reactors would do it. And NOT the live version, which totally obscures the drums.
Dude is hands down the most soulful white singer I’ve ever heard 🖤🤤he even has ZZ TOP beat 🤨🤷🏼♂️😉
Chicago is so so amazing!
One of my very favourite songs from Chicago's prime early era with ripping guitarist and soulful vocalist Terry Kath. RIP, TK. As well call it 'Make Me Cry', lmdao.
Oh, you could go down a rabbit hole of great old Chicago music! You guys NEED to check out the Russian band Leonid & Friends who initially did a bunch of awesome covers of Chicago tunes and more recently they have covered E,W&F, Blood, Sweat and Tears and Steely Dan, which are equally jaw-dropping. The leader is a producer/musician in Moscow and the remaining members are Russian session musicians and singers, except the lead singer, Sergei, who is Ukrainian (unfortunately, the band just released a statement that Sergei was taking a leave from the band because of everything him and his family are dealing with in Kyiv). The leader, Leonid Vorobyov, has been a huge Chicago fan since he was a child and he got the other musicians together to produce a couple tribute videos, but they went viral, so they kept on producing them. Leonid had to do the arrangements of the songs himself by transcribing from the recordings because there were no scores available in Russia at the time (and they are absolutely meticulous). They have also done two tours in America in 2019 and 2021 and there's another scheduled for this year (I saw them in 2019 and I have tickets for a show in MA in July). In case you want to take a listen, here's the link to them doing this song, which is one of their first videos... kzread.info/dash/bejne/pn6uzqp7fpaohJc.html
Daaayum Dude sounds like a rockin' Ray Charles :) :)
Back when a double album meant something and it was very bold to just do doubles for some time. I & 2 were some my first albums.
Good lord!! This song kicks ass!!
Saturday in the Park would be a great follow up to this
That literally made you smile
🥳 HAPPY BIRTHDAY CHOD 🥳
Someone had made a comment before that this is the first song of " Ballet for a Girl in Buchannon" a mini-rock opera. It's around 13minutes. It's worth the listen. kzread.info/dash/bejne/qpuBltqMebbOido.html
Love what you're doing with the hair, Chod. Tip that barber.
Good on y'all, you played the long version. Chicago.... "Color My World", in your wedding song mix.
R.I.P Terry...
I could listen to this song just for Danny Seraphine's work on the set...but...the rest is awfully damn good, too
Wished I had you both at my condo for a reaction video. I have 5000 lps including this album playing through some tube amps. You can hear the difference between studio cut and a live track. You would only listen to the studio tracks because they have more bite vs the live track. The thing is back in the day there was no auto-tune and computer generated pablum that is being released today. Members of bands had to have real musical talent back then.
High school memories from the 70s
GREAT!!!!!!
Great band, every song was different from the last.
Great music from an iconic, legendary band. Love the drums in this one but I don’t get marching band vibes. All the albums with Terry Kath were either great or good. After he died, the band went in a different direction, and although they had tons of hits, my opinion is that they were just not the same and become much more pop oriented. 🔥
I'm a man, 25 or 6 to 4 so Dee can see how their sound varies.
Danny Seraphine the most underrated drummer...imo.
I think that your wife will love Chicago's Colour My World sang by Terry Kath.
Masterpiece !
