To this day this is one of my favorite songs of all time. Chicago gets such a bad rap from the uninformed. Yes they went POP but Chicago 1 thru 5 says it all. The band was tight!!!
DAMN THIS REMINDS ME OF A GAL FROM ALMOST 35 YRS AGO GROWING UP IN QUEENS..JOYCE...BUT THATS MOOT NOW...
I NEED A NEW BEGINNING AND I THOUGHT I HAD IT WITH THE SWEETEST GAL IN AMERICA ON LONG ISLAND, FROM BELLMORE, KITTY..DIDNT WORK OUT AND STILL HAVING AN ISSUE BURNING HER OUT OF MY CONSCIENCE...THATS NOT FAIR TO HER OR MYSELF OR MY NEW LADY, GENIE..BUT....LIKE IS NOT FAIR, IN ANYWAY...PEACE...LOVE U KITTY..GOOD LUCK , WISH ME THE SAME AND WISH I WAS WITH U..X0X0X00..0X
Great memories. I’m not going to bring up specific times because I don’t know any of you people and it wouldn’t make any difference to you anyway. But great memories.
Oh god this brings back memories. I'm not going to write about specific times because I know none of you people and it wouldn't make a difference to any of you anyway. But oh the memories.
Remember recieving "Chicago Transit Authority" from Columbia House with Billy Joel "Piano Man", Elton John "Goodbye Yellow Brick Road", J. Geils Band "Bloodshot", "Led Zeppelin II" and Grand Funk Railroad "Closer To Home". Had actually ordered WAR "All Day Music", Bill Withers "Still Bill", Bob Marley "Catch a Fire" and Jimi Hendrix "Band of Gypsys". Columbia sent me (a black kid) the wrong order. I listened this album and needless to say, whoever made the order wasn't gonna get his albums.
@doc2skate I am trying to forget Columbia House. What a rip off, but I get the gist of what you're saying. A mishap on their part allowed you to hear some great Chicago Transit Authority! WOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! :-D
I liked this song. I heard it on .977 Classic Rock Channel. On Windows Media Player Radio Turner App. good lyrics great music
