OMG!!! I have two of the "Chicago Rocks" Loop records still... I thought these guys would really take off... (Cheap Trick did) Alot of the same Chicago vibe....
During a Morning show I hosted in (of all places,) Rawlins, Wyoming, a traveler on Interstate 80 heard this song and called to say that she hadn't heard this played on air anywhere besides Chicago. As it turned out, she sent me a "cherry" copy of "Chicago Rocks", which was an album that The Loop, F.M. 98 released way back when. I hadn't the heart to tell her that I also had a copy of the same album, as well as albums by The Hounds and other "Support Your Local Rock" favorites.
OMG! It has been 25 years since I have heard this song. I had the album back when I lived in Chicago. It was released in 1979. It had gotten stolen and I never replaced it. Bummer, but I am glad that you have uploaded this very awesome tune from a very underrated band of the day. Thanks so much!
@jabtrade I know, right?! I LOVE this song. It was a treat for me to be the first to upload this gem.. so, you're welcome, I guess. haha.. It IS fun to be able to upload something that others will enjoy hearing- especially when they haven't heard it in years or decades. The pleasure is mine.
@Hydrosification Awesome! thanks for that... I recalled it a few years ago... I was so excited.. And now my woman, 15 years my younger, loves this, too.. How cool is that? born the year this came out. ha

@GNFAN1987 You're welcome. I was happy to be the first to do it! THAT, to me, is cool.
Hey, I was just at a weird type of flea market/ antique store just yesterday, and they had TWO vinyl copies of this album! For $2.oo! I was shocked.

I remember Steve Dahl playing this on his WLUP morning show in 1979. Between this song and Rush's Spirit of the Radio, a great way to wake up.
