Gave my girlfriend the lyrics to this in 1975. I was fifteen, she was seventeen. We're still together. Married going on 47 years. So, yeah, this has some meaning for me. As many Chicago songs do. Thanks y'all for doing this.

You can literary feel the 70'S in this song.

[surlechapeau]

Asia & BJ, you'll love their “Does Anybody Know What Time It Is” & "Just You 'n' Me"!!!!

My favorite CTA song. Thanks for an appropriate song for the new year. May 2024 be the best year ever for everyone. We deserve it ❤🎉🥂🍾

This song was written by the great Robert Lamm, who also sang the lead vocals here.

Chicago (aka Chicago Transit Authority) consisted of :
Robert Lamm : Vocals, Keyboards
Terry Kath (R.I.P.) : Guitar, vocals
Peter Cetera : Bass, vocals
Danny Seraphine : Drums
Walter Parazaider : Saxophones
Lee Loughnane : Trumpet
James Pankow : Trombone

THIS is what I consider the *real* Chicago/ CTA.
The loss of Terry Kath was the first major blow, a a devastating one.
For the next few years, they did still manage to put out some pretty good stuff still but it just wasn’t the same.

But when Corporate Music pushed for schlocky gooey love songs with ONLY Peter Cetera on lead vocals in the 80s, and keeping those amazing horn players nearly muted… they lost me and almost all their devoted fanbase.
Cetera had a great tenor voice, but the songs themselves had *none* of what made Chicago stand out in the first damn place.

Sad to say, but once Cetera spun off into his solo career and the attention of Corporate Music strayed elsewhere… it took a few years to recoup and reboot, bring in a few different musicians, etc. BUT Chicago finally started recording again. To far less attention and acclaim, but I believe to the betterment of the remaining original members who’s been unwisely and unjustly pushed to the shadows.

Chicago was the first big concert I went to in 1977, I was lucky enough to see them before their guitarist, Terry Kath, passed away, they were incredible!

[nathans]

Throughout the song the singer is cherishing the beginning of a wonderful, loving relationship with a woman. He's blown away regarding their chemistry and enjoying the beginning of their relationship. "When I kiss you, I feel a thousand different feelings, a cover of chills, all over my body..."

[LindaEll]

My favorite Chicago song! Memories of high school.

[paulkliger]

I love the joy on both of your faces! Believe it or not- I saw Chicago in the spring of 1969 - before this was released as a single. It was at the GYM at the University of Hartford in Connecticut. They were incredible. I know people have different tastes about their phases and changes- but - they were new and phenomenal. Thanks for your joy!

This is an abridged version of the song released on their 1969 debut double-LP as the Chicago Transit Authority. The percussion outro with cowbell, blocks, and vocal trills lasts for a few minutes.

You can't go wrong with the Terry Kath era of Chicago, 1967-1977. Sadly, founding guitarist Terry Kath died 46 years ago on January 23, 1978, 8 days short of what would have been his 32nd birthday. "Poem 58" on that debut album is nine minutes of PURE FUNK led by Kath on guitar, Danny Seraphine on drums, and Peter Cetera on bass. Cue that one up and prepare to be blown away by that raw talent!

My favourite Chicago song. My eyes are glistening a bit, reminds me of a long ago love. It all blew up in the end, but felt every word of this song with him...

[petersconrad]

Chicago sound stands the test of time. This is music at its best. Every Chicago song has a meaning, people relates to those songs. Nice reaction guys ❤🎉🎉

[Wordsmyth]

This is my favorite Chicago song of all time! Thank you so much for checking it out.

[OZAHS]

The first song from the first album, how prophetic. Amazing talent from writing to performance to production, and everything in between. And it continued for a full decade after this. Fricking amazing and awesome.

[maggieshevelew]

I absolutely love this song. Unfortunately, this version cut it off before the incredible percussion outro.

[tommarks]

70's kid here. This is one of my favs from Chicago. This and Wishing You Were Here with Beach Boys on backing vocals. Freaking soo good.

[sheayankee]

Chicago is one of the greatest bands ever. "Beginnings" was the first song of theirs that I ever heard way back in the day and I have loved them ever since. You should do many more Chicago reactions. BTW, they will be touring this summer together with Earth, Wind and Fire(another great band). I have seen both bands in concert many times and they never disappoint.

[xiurong]

Drummer Danny Seraphine is amazing. Back then, Danny and Bobby Colomby from BS&T were my favorite drummers. Very different styles, but both great. James Pankow on trombone is also an incredible musician. Love the addition of Latin percussion at the end, especially the agogo bells.

[richgoebel]

I always like the horns in Chicago, but this one in particular. In high school, my twin brother played sax, two friends played trumpet and I played trombone. I can imagine us playing along with this song every time I hear it.
An the fade out percussion shared by everyone in the band...until you killed it before it ended.
