Chicago is an American rock band formed in 1967 in Chicago, Illinois. The self-described “rock and roll band with horns” began as a politically charged, sometimes experimental, rock band and later moved to a predominantly softer sound, generating several hit ballads.
They had a steady stream of hits throughout the 1970s and 1980s. Second only to The Beach Boys in Billboard singles and albums chart success among American bands, Chicago is one of the longest-running and most successful rock groups in history.
According to Billboard, Chicago was the leading US singles charting group during the 1970s. They have sold over 38 million units in the US, with 22 gold, 18 platinum, and 8 multi-platinum albums. Over the course of their career they have had five number-one albums and 21 top-ten singles.
This song is one if many favorites. Hope you take a minute to listen.
Hmmm… This song is a song on a cassette that I gave to my ex-girlfriend when we broke up after we dated for nine years.
Btw, I’m looking for your Indonesian-themed posts series that I just knew from Elenka.
Great song for sharing. Hope you are well dear friend.
Awe, sad song! I love this one as well. If you leave me now you’ll take away the biggest part of me. I always thought of this as a break up song, but I see now it could be applied to loosing anyone that is close. Great song Carol.
I don’t like rock music. But I understood enough about this group.
It is more like soft rock I think.
Another group whose music is a discovery for me, thank you so much for sharing!!!
You are welcome, I try to share some of the songs I like, so many!
if you leave me now was a song that i listened to for a long time, after a bad breakup. It helped me move forward.
Yep same here. And it brings back good memories too.
i love the sound the band has. the song still makes me sad.
This song brought tears to my eyes and it was very different reasons. I wasn’t thinking about a breakup, but all those people we have lost or will lose. Parts of me left with Mom, Dad, my sister, and so many others. I wonder will I ever be whole.
Poor man, he doesn’t understand the tears this morning.
I understand you at ever level. A piece of us does leave when we lose someone. But that person says within our hearts and are wherever we are.
Another great choice Carol.
Thanks, again, so many to choose from.
Beautiful song. I know this band a little.
Good to hear, they have toured world wide.
However, I know this band very well and also its music … great music
Happy to know that my friend!
Saturdays in the Park and Inspiration are two of my favorites songs from Chicago
I was debating on which of those two to post. My favorites as well!
