Well, here we are, ten days into 2025.
Let me tell you a story.
When I was a kid, I watched a LOT of MTV.
So, in 1984, I was a fan of synth-driven pop-rock music.
And this video came out - and it sounded like everything else on MTV, and, well, I liked it a lot.
I did wonder why their album was called Chicago 17, though.
Turned out that Chicago had been around for a while, and I had just not associated some of their biggest songs, which I absolutely knew, with them.
But this song, which I do still like despite not being a typical Chicago song, was a hit in the US and the UK.
Peter Cetera left Chicago soon after this (he was gone before Chicago 18). However, the band found a sound-alike and continued to perform the song.
However, Peter Cetera also performs the song in his solo shows. I'd argue that this song led directly to his solo career, so it makes sense.
