Celebrating 35 years in the music business, Chicago has always been a
favorite, for their romantic and melodic songs. Greatest Hits 1982-1989
captures the popular songs from this time period, featuring the vocals of
Peter Cetera, and Jason Scheff.
Chicago first formed in 1969, featuring the lead vocals and amazing guitarist
Terry Kath. Kath died tragically due to a self-inflicted gunshot in 1978.
(The story is told that he was playing Russian Roulette.) Peter Cetera took
over the lead vocals, and with his brillant voice, his songs have been very
popular, with themes of love and inspiration.
From 1982-1989, Cetera fronted the vocals from 1982-1985, having huge hits
such as "Hard To Say I'm Sorry," "Stay The Night," "Love Me Tomorrow,"
"You're The Inspiration," "Hard Habit To Break," and "Along Comes A
Woman." But where a prominent lead singer leaves a group, it seems that
its future may not be as popular as it once was. Not true, in the case of
Chicago. Jason Scheff (son of Elvis Presley's bass player, Jerry Scheff),
replaced Cetera as vocalist, and achieved the #1 song, "Look Away."
The remaining Scheff-vocal tunes are just as exceptional as were the many
hits with Peter Cetera: "Will You Still Love Me," "What Kind Of Man Would
I Be," "I Don't Wanna Live Without Your Love," "If She Would Have Been
Faithful," and "We Can Last Forever." Also, both Cetera and Scheff
were co-writers of their popular songs, in which they provided the lead vocals.
Chicago didn't have any huge hits in the 1990s, yet they still tour to
sold-out crowds to this day. And with 35 years of music and memories, they
still prove that they are, as one of their old song says: Feeling Stronger
Every Day. In Chicago's case, they are feeling stronger in every decade.
