The problem is, as amazing as it may be, it really wasn't the same band. On this song none of the brass (nearly half the band) are absent, replaced by orchestra. Robert Lamm was MIA, and it is a little cute of him to play along to keyboard parts he never recorded, or lip-sync vocals he didn't sing. This is more a construction of David Foster, the producer, who had a thing for rewriting or co-writing a band's material, and replacing members with session musicians. This song is basically a Peter Cetera solo song co-written with Foster. But technically it was released as Chicago, so there you go.

That Peter Cetera voice is magical.

Dude! You have reached the tip of the iceberg with Chicago. “Stay The Night”, You’re The Inspiration”, “25 Or 6 To 4”, “Saturday In The Park”, “Hard Habit To Break”... so, so many.

I remember the R&B group doing the cover was Az Yet, which was good. I remember Peter singing a spot in the cover. Peter is my all time favorite singer. That voice has captured my attention since childhood (1970's). Can still listen to him for hours on end. 🙂

Chicago is such a talented and unique band. I've loved them from the start. Peter Cetera has such a beautiful voice. I love when he sings "You're going to be the lucky one". Today's bands can't hold a candle.

This band is one of the best.They are top tier .Had some of the best vocalist.Their harmonies are on point. Check out one of their oldies sang by Terry Kath the guitarist at that time called" Colour My World".Amazingly Beautiful.R.I.P.Terry.

Such a unique timbre. Great voice.

Peter Cetera had a beautiful voice. There are so many movie theme hits by him like The Glory of Love from The Karate Kid.

AZ Yet did the cover and they did a great job too. I love their version and of course Chicago's original version.

This has been my #1 favorite song since the first time I heard it all those years ago...and I just turned 50 this past Wednesday. ❤

Love Chicago period! Had this record at about 12 years old.. wore it out- Another roller rink couples skate song- I remember crying over a boy while playing it in the background- 😅 I remember he asked me to skate with him.. but then he asked another couple of girls too- (young playa’) 😂 Wasn’t funny then..😒). Their love songs and other 80’s greats) were played like crazy throughout my teens, especially when they did dedications over the radio- Love a lot of their music and different styles they did through the decades-❤️✌️

I remember when Chicago first came on the scene. It was love at first sound! I didn't know any one of my peers back in the day that didn't love Chicago. They provided an introduction to a new style/ sound of music. Listening to them made me sway to their sound. Thanks for playing this song. This music took me back to yester-year. This was so nice.The group members in Chicago had advanced degree in music. After acquiring their degrees, these individuals decided to form this group, and to create their own style of music. "Smart", what can I say! That was real smart. Thanks again! Another song that's good and fun to listen to is "Saturday in the Park"! The Flower 🌹

Chicago had such a unique sound, only a few bars into any of their songs and you knew who it was.

Love this! Chicago 16 and Chicago 17, complete, fab! Can’t find better!

A very deep rabbit hole here, Terry as lead and Peter backup to Peter being lead after Terry's death. I got to see them twice in concert back in the 70s and 80s. Great music and tons of hits.

What is ironic was when Chicago was talking about how they named their albums with the release of their third double album, Chicago III, they joked about going until releasing like Chicago 27, I think. Amazing to see how many they really did. I stopped buying their vinyl albums with Chicago VII but continued to listen to them through the 80s but was not big on buying their cassettes. Have replaced vinyl Carnegie Hall Live 4-record set with the CD version though. Still remember the day that I bought Chicago Transit Authority and realized it was the same band that had released Make Me Smile, Color My World, Does Anybody Know What Time It Is and 25 or 6 to 4 on Chicago II.

There is an extended version that jumps into a fast tempo groove, some verses, and a trumpet and trombone extravaganza of a finale.

They don't make music like this anymore literally. 👍 Glad I grew up with all this amazing music. 👏👏

Love this song! Peter Cetera's voice gives me chills.

Chicago is an awesome group

At the end of Hard to Say I'm Sorry it leads into GET AWAY. That is the BEST INSTRUMENTAL I have ever heard in my life!!!!!! You really should react to that if you haven't already.

At first I thought Jamel was thinking of Glory of Love (Karate Kid) 🙂 Peter Cetera has had some great songs!! (With Chicago and solo) When I was in the 6th grade in ‘84 (age 11) I was obsessed with the song “You’re the Inspiration”

What a beautiful song. Thanks you for sharing this song

Peter Cetera gran voz y excelente compositor sus canciones son muy hermosas con Chicago y como solista, gran cantautor, mis respetos y admiración total.

The band with horns! Inducted into the Rock Hall in 2016. There's been so many members throughout the bands life, that they only rival Parliament-Funkadelic in those terms!

Yessss! 😍 Classic Chicago 👆🏻 And Oohhh those feels....

One of Chicago's greT 80's hits. Love it.

You gotta find the extended version where they get all funky with the horns! "When we get there gonna jump in the air! No one will see us cause there's nobody there- if there are you know we really don't care!....crazy horns section solo..." It'll give you a case of the stank face😅

So glad you appreciate it. You are AWESOME. Top 5! Get it King!

Awww, I was really looking forward to Jamel's reaction the "Get Away" portion of this song, but it wasn't in this version. That is some funky shit!

Oh finally, some Chicago. TYSVM Love this band. xooxoxox

Baby, if you leave me now. Great classic

I LOVE LOVE LOVE seeing you react but then you know the songs 🎵🎵❤️❤️❤️. Thank you

There is an additional minute and 30 seconds to this song. This is the radio version, but the missing part is on the studio version and is amazing.

Jamel, Az Yet also guested on a re-recording of Peter's "You're the Inspiration" around the same time their version of Hard to Say I'm Sorry came out. I would highly recommend it; the song got some radio play back in 1998 but it wasn't a huge hit so not as widely known as Hard to Say I'm Sorry. Your reaction vids are highly entertaining btw keep up the good work!

When this song was current I had a huge crush on a girl. I remember drivin' and cryin' to this song.

Chicago is amazing! I've seen them in concert twice. So frickin' good! Do a lot more of their songs!

I miss those songs with the Mega production sound! Loved them!!!

I miss you doing reactions in whatever space this was soooo much! More room for dancing and your famous two-step!

i just went and found the Az Yet cover of this song. They did a great job with it. It's always a risk when you take on a classic but they nailed it.
