It is also the title of a compilation album released by Columbia Records (Columbia 38590) in 1983.

The single topped the US charts on October 23, 1976, and stayed there for two weeks, making it the first number one hit for the group as well as hitting number one on the Easy Listening charts.[1] It also reached the number one spot in the UK, maintaining the position for three weeks.

  • Chicago kicked ass

  • Peter Cetera once chuckled that this song may have been responsible for prompting a significant jump in the number of babies conceived the year this was popular. He added that he was glad to help.
