Love these guys, but don't let the strings, horns, and harmonies fool you, this is a rock band. Yall need to listen to "25 or 6 to 4" so you don't forget it. lol

Part of the sound track of my teen years. Takes me back to roller skating and hanging out with my friends. These guys couldn't do anything wrong for years.

70s Chicago and 80s Chicago are 2 very different animals. Both great in their own ways. Think my favorite is their song Look Away

[modeljetjuggernaut]

It's surreal to see others react to this song for the first time since this song has been indelibly stamped in my brain from radio stations since I was a young kid...

Love her response @ 2:56. "If you can sing it like that, you are forgiven!" :)

Anything they did from 1968 - 77 absolute gold

To fully understand the juxtaposition T experienced previously - their earlier stuff had a big-band horn section groovy/funky sound to it with songs like:
"25 or 6 to 4" "Saturday In the Park" and "Does Anyone Really Know What Time It Is"
These are ALL great songs and worthy of your reactions.

Later, Peter Cetera (as featured in this song) took over as lead vocals in the early 80s and their sound took on a more 80s dad rock/soft rock appeal - akin to REO Speedwagon, Foreigner, Loverboy, Survivor.
Peter Cetera era had ALOT of love ballad hits and made a lot of women swoon with his voice.
He's also popular for the song to Karate Kid II "Glory of Love". Which is highly regarded as one of the best love rock ballads of the 80s.
Other Peter Cetera fronted Chicago songs worth listening to: "If You Leave Me Now" "Hard Habit to Break" "You the Inspiration" "Look Away" "Stay the Night" "Along Comes a Woman" "Love Me Tomorrow"

This song is the first Chicago song I listened to and fell in love with the band instantly!

[VincentManiscalco]

Chicago is one of the greatest bands ever. I seen them in a free concert in Coney Island. They had to be about 20 members of the band playing all different instruments. These guys are absolutely amazing.

Chicago was 🔥 at weddings in the 70s and 80s. My parents, uncles and aunts...etc. had Chicago playing at every wedding. "You're the Inspiration" and "Color My World" were the one's we heard the most growing up. "Color My World" was my parents wedding song.

[bethmitchem]

I love the love songs by Chicago…hard habit to break..you’re the inspiration…

[karendavis]

My parents loved them, so I grew up constantly hearing Chicago! Love them.

[larryhalbrook]

My favorite Chicago song. Thank you for reacting to it.

[suebree]

Wishing You Were Here is one of my favorite Chicago songs

[GQTJ]

My favorite band growing up as a teen in the 70's. Their horn section, vocals, and compositions, made them stand out from other bands.

[nedflanders]

fantastic song!! I love the reacton too! The smile says it all... 🙂

I watch so many of these reaction videos to my music. Music that spans from the late 50’s to 80’s! Classic rock, Soft rock, Real R&B and I see so many reactors say they love this music. It’s sad to me that I feel they missed out on the greatest era of music ever. Real musicians writing their own lyrics and music and playing their own instruments. There are 3 and a half decades (I feel the late 90’s the music went to shit) of the best music ever created that this generation and others that follow will never experience the greatness. Thank GAWD for YouTube and these reactors for keeping the music alive. Because GOD KNOWS today radio stations will kill it.

Softer side of Chicago, "Color My World". It was THE wedding song for much of the 70s.

[s.mcpherson]

The previous version of the band--particularly prior to the death of Terry Kath--was more Progressive Rock, from their Transit Authorities days. After the second Greatest Hits album, Chicago felt like the Doobie Brothers after Michael McDonald seemed to take over. The other musicians started to feel more like a backup band for a singer after that. This is a good song, but I don't think it's aimed at the same audience or artistic target as something like 25 or 6 to 4. Then again, they were a lot older by then, and they had different concerns as songwriters, so maybe that's what most of the difference is.
