The reason Jim Pankow didn't play trombone on Colour My World is because he played piano. Lee Loughnane won some sort of an award for singing while in high school. He probably sang backup in the studio though not much during live performances. And I still have my old LP, scratches, skips and all, a treasured possession.
I have worn out my vinyl of this classic album--nice to hear this gem again. Such a cool sound for 1969. I think they really "were" seeing fancy colours back then.
Bassist Peter Cetera and keyboardist Robert Lamm almost sound identical. I think this is composer Lamm singing lead. Cetera took the lead on this song live on some occasions,especially at Chicago's June 8,1972 concert at the Tokyo Budokan.
No this is Pete Cetera throughout the beginning (even all 3 parts between 1:19 & 1:34).
Bobby could never really get this high in the range. Pete was basically a lead tenor whereas Bobby, Terry, and Lee were baritones. I don't know where Jimmy was.
I would say trombonist James Pankow is a baritone. Throughout the Chicago legacy,although he wrote and co-wrote a handful of the band's songs,Pankow rarely took the lead vocal. He sang lead on one of his compositions,YOU ARE ON MY MIND from Chicago X(1976). He could have done the same with another one of his songs,COLOUR MY WORLD since his trombone was not used in the recording. Amazingly,original drummer Danny Seraphine and saxophonist/flutist Walter Parazaider never sang.

That goes to prove that Peter Cetera is a legend.
