    I'm in my 60s and I would say that finding good music from the current era takes a lot more effort - it is lost in the huge pool of bad music out there. A couple of examples of current music I think is good would be the singer LP singing "Lost on You" or Veta Gran Fleet singing "Heat Above".

    This is indeed Peter Cetera in the lead on this one. However, early Chicago had a rotation of three primary lead singers: Peter Cetera (bass), Robert Lamm (keyboards) and Terry Kath (lead guitar). Give a listen to "South California Purples." It's from their first album, and has a HEAVY psychedelic influence! Robert Lamm sings lead on that particular song. Terry Kath SHREDS on guitar..and don't forget..HORNS!! 💯❤👍

    Although this song was a little different than the rest of their 70s material it still felt like Chicago to me. The power ballad Chicago of the 80s just never felt right. Yes that’s what helped them survive the changing times and yes there were some nice songs but they were the same type of songs that a lot of others were doing at the time. Chicago lost their uniqueness in the 80s. Also a lot of the songs were from outside writers.

    Yes, that WAS Peter Cetera singing lead and harmony vocals. "If You Leave Me Now," was Chicago's first #1 hit around the world in 1976. This one song single handedly shifted Chicago from its big rock band sound, to the softer, rock ballads of the early 80s. This song became such a popular seller, their record label pushed Chicago for more ballads. The radio stations back then held a HUGE influence in directing record sales. The more this song was played, the more the record buying public wanted Peter Cetera singing Chicago love ballads. This, coupled with the death of Chicago's rocking soul, co-lead singer/guitarist Terry Kath in 1977 and the popularity of MTV music videos in the early 80s featuring the face and voice of ballad singer Peter Cetera, Chicago's "rock band with horns" reputation and sound died. Peter then left for his solo career and Chicago's sound died with it. The "original" Chicago sound ONLY lives on their early albums (1969 - 1975). If you want that BIG BRASS SOUND of Chicago you both fell in love with, do a deep dive into these older albums, Chicago Transit Authority (1969 - their first) through Chicago VIII (their eighth in 1975), most are double albums. Try these songs for that sound - "Movie' In," "Lowdown," "Now That You're Gone," "I'm A Man," "Just You 'n' Me." "What's This World Coming to," "Call On Me" and "Beginnings," ALL feature Chicago's horns and their true musicality.

    This is a prime example of how Peter Cetera moved the band from its roots as a rock/jazz fusion band to what Peter wanted, to make ballads that would show off his voice. Many in the band did not like the direction the band was moving (the horn guys). You can mark the history of Chicago from with Terry Katz and without Terry, he was the soul of the band.

    This song was written and sung by Chicago's bass player - Peter Cetera - in July 1976, whom was with the band from 1967 until 1985. Back-up vocal/harmonizing is Robert Lamm, the band's keyboard/pianist, and also another of the band's primary songwriters, along with James Pankow, trombonist for the band. All 3 of them have been inducted into the R & R songwriters HoF. Robert Lamm is one of the main vocalists for the band, along with Cetera and Terry Kath (up until his death in 1978 - RIP)

    I jammed to all of Chicago’s songs as they came out - but wasn’t aware of the intimate history and internal dynamics of the group - and the impact of Terry Kath’s death on the band until years later. The sound changed when David Foster took over, eliminating the horns and showcasing Peter Cetera. Again, great songs - I loved the later ballads, but now I mourn the creative loss of the horns along with Terry Kath’s more jazzy leadership when he so tragically died.

    It's time to see a live Chicago rock song. I recommend 25 or 6 to 4 live at Tanglewood from 1970. I know you have done the studio version, but you really need to see this one. This was when they had their original guitarist, Terry Kath; you will be impressed. They get started while the drummer is assembling his kit. When it is ready, they really get going. A young Peter Cetera takes the lead vocals, so you will get the chance to see him.
