Yes it´s not Peter and Terry, but for me as one of the greatest Terry Kath Fans let´s say:

Music should be all about song an and good musicans are allways open minded, and I´m sure Terry would like it!

[johchgo1]

I really like this version...It gives a different spin to this song.

[waltersboy7]

Nice! sounds like something that could be on Phillip's Jazz albums... I Like it!

[sagaiyosef]

Very good!

[ddjjdavis]

This is really good.

[denniswilsonfan]

I'll stick with the original

[ikanoka]

Очень интересно исполнили песню Чикаго. Для меня Chicago и EARTH, WIND & FIRE две равноценные американские группы. Это мировая классика, ребята!

[MusikLover8]

They seem too happy to sing this song! The original version was hauntingly beautiful because it resonated how alone you were & how much you were missing a person not in your life...props to EWF for trying to put a spin on this classic..

[RGN07]

I love this version! Its beautiful, a different mood.

@ChicagoJT I've listened to forplay when they first formed. I have loved Lee Ritenour's music for years. I feel ya Chicago JT ;0 Peace Lady L.

[ChicagoJT]

This is a fantastic club rendition and EWF are fantastic. I believe they performed with Chicago too. If you like this style and rendition the group "Fourplay" has a very similar smooth jazz sound and style. Check them out too.

[marshallsmyth]

Very well done EW and F! You give the ethereal feel this song deserves, and fill in the chords so sweet too! And your distinctive soul! Wonderful! Thank you!

[MasterGTALoquendo]
