Lamm was the writing force behind the success of Chicago. The only problem is Chicago has been stuck on love ballads for 30 years now. They were great from 1969 through the 5th album-all which were successful because of Lamm and Pankow's writing.
What the hell is wrong with you? I said he was great for 5 albums-with some obvious great moments since then, BUT-they have been stuck on love ballads for so long they forgot what made them great.I all but spelled out that they have gone downhill-and you agreed-and still gave me a hard time. . STFU
it's like the Beatles....the synergy and contribution of all the members made the group. Nothing matters other than we have great music and memories..thank God and the music!!...a Chicago musician
If you dont' have a good song writer, you've got nothing...and Lamm's songs are what made this group ....Lamm began the fame with his music... You don't get more important than that.

This man is a joke!...I know what I'm talknig about!!!..just search for the "succesfull musical journey" of this man...you'll be dissapointed....sorry Robert but Chicago should have kick you off instead of Champlin...any teen good with keyboards can take your place....and about your voice, must tell you that have nothing in special, absolutelly nothing my old man... Best Regards!!!!!!! and please.. sorry if I hurt someone...but this man is an old joke!....
Hahahahaha!, Robert Lamm???...sorry but this is the member of the band who has done nothing for the success of the band!!!!!!!, his only credit is to stay in the chair of the keyboards for 42 years guys!!!!...and I am a fan on Chicago since 1974!!
The electric guitar instead of the acoustic in this version reminds me of when they used to preform this song in the early days when Terry Kath played the intro like that. RL now plays a 12 string in the intro when with Chicago, like Kath did on the original studio version.
He always WAS favorite from age 14,15-the very "Beginnings." Not only has brains,but very refined,well spoken and a talented singer/songwriter. And yes: He's HOT(!) as they come. Oh YEAH! Gotta LOVE that voice and song-writing as well.
No offense, but WHY would they ever want Peter back with them? Robert and Chicago are phenomenal these last 23 years without him! They're sounding better than ever in concerts this year! Robert's been my FAVORITE from Chicago for over 38 years - he is just so fantastic as a singer/songwriter AND a performer! We're finally getting to hear more of him on the songs that Peter used to lead solo.
I was going on info from a friend that Peter was a big part of Chicago. I remember Robert and Terry as the voice myself. I also was told Peter has moved on.. Oh well..
But alas he was forgotten..an unfortunate legacy of a band so talented(Chicago) it had 3 unique lead vocalists (3's a crowd ) 10 CC had a similar fate.Any way , the voice and style that killed Chicago for me (Peter Cetera) was also attached to bass playing that was integral to my development as a proffessional bassist..fact,indeed, is stranger than fiction.BTW- this clip is awesome RL is the most underated singer/songwriter of all time
As to the above.. I bought his first solo album( being a tragic Chicago fan) and discovered a unique voice and writing style I swear I thought he would become the new Elton or Billy Joel.
Man this guy is great. A truly talented artist singer songwriter musician. One of my favorite songs. I don't see anyone that came along in the last 20 to 25 years that even comes close to his musical gifts.
The question that makes you wonder is where would Chicago have gone if his vocals had been the dominant voice after Peter Cetera left. He is still smooth into his 60's.
Except for Robert Lamm,the back-up band was a fake Chicago. Especially the bassist Jason Scheff who is Lamm's permanent bandmate.

How untrue. He certainly made a big contribution in defining the sound of Chicago. What a stupid thing to say.
