![Chicago "Make Me Smile" [live 1970] | REACTION/REVIEW](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/gv1JlmI1Bbc/mqdefault.jpg)
Terry Kath was such a soulful singer... incredible!!!
Terry Kath Sang and played guitar on this song. Terry was the Leader and an incredible musician…. Terry died in his 20’s when accidentally shot himself. Terry had many great songs and forever be sadly missed😢
How can we know it’s accidental, though? We didn’t recognize a lot of mental illness back then, did we? (saying this as someone who has been in a psychiatry field for the past 30 years)
I miss bands like this. Real Musicians!! The Best music came out this era!
They're KNOWN for their brass!!!🎷🎺🥁
Absolute MASTERPIECE. Terry Kath was incredible on vocals and AMAZING guitar rift in this song. RIP Terry......we miss you so much and truly love you. 🖤🖤🖤
They have huge library. Great band. So much competition for air played brought out the best in so many artists in 60's ,70's, and 80's. Then, MTV took over and made music corporate, for tv, not for listeners. Thanks for keeping these great artists in people's minds
That's Terry Kath on guitar.
You picked an amazing song…it’s a classic. 😊 And those drums!!!
Chicago IX Greatest hits is Legendary.
Back in the day (76-80) we used to play a lot of Chicago tunes in HS jazz band...loved it then, love it now!
My dad was a band director back then and they played a lot of Chicago tunes. I remember "Saturday In The Park" as one. Great memories!
Great group for a full band to play!
Love anything Chicago did. Have been to see them several times in concert and each time I was blown away with their sound and performances. They are the best and so versatile. Love Does Anybody Really Know What Time It Is, Saturday in the Park, If You Leave Me Now, etc. When you’re sitting in a concert hall waiting for them to start, there is nothing like the sound when they start up. Thanks for a great reaction. 👏👏🥰
My second favorite after 25 or 6 to 4. I love Chicago .❤ The late great Terry Kath singing lead on this one.
Jimmy Hendrix claimed Terry was the greatest guitarist he’d ever seen and went backstage once to tell him so! My personal opinion is the band took a nose dive after Terry’s untimely passing 🙏 There’s a great documentary about the band and a really cool story of how they had the pilots of the 727 they owned did loops with them while they were on the plane! Grateful to have grown up with these guys amongst others of that time 🤙🏽🙏
Shon's analysis and explanations of the songs are far more in depth and inciteful than any of the other reaction videos on YT. He deserves more subs than he has gotten so far.
This song is part of a suite called "Ballet for a Girl in Buchannon" written by the trombone player. It has seven tracks, three of which are instrumentals, on the Chicago II album. It is a roughly 13 minute long journey through one of the finest pieces of music ever written.
Side two of Chicago II
@@skevich1 "Wake Up Sunshine" was the first track on Disc 1 Side 2 of their second double-LP album, and leads into the seven movement Ballet suite. "Chicago" (retronamed Chicago II) was just as phenomenal as their debut double-LP "The Chicago Transit Authority" before they shortened their name.
Terry Kath, lead singer on this song and lead guitarist, had a Jazz soul. Add all the other incredible band members and early Chicago was magic. After Kath died the band changed - much of it due to David Foster’s influence, dropping the horns, (which I think was the worst desecration), and focusing on Peter Cetera as main vocalist. Robert Lamm was the third lead vocalist for the band and wrote many of their biggest hits. He had a great voice as well. The music was still good, Chicago was incapable of being bad, but it was very very different. No longer a jazz oriented band the band segued into more mainstream ballads, some of which are truly beautiful. I like all of Chicago’s catalog but the loss of Terry Kath was a tragedy for everyone.
Spot on!
I seen them in concert about 37 yrs ago, the horn section will blow your mind, when i seen it live , I'm mesmerized ❤
An iconic band
Great music🎶🎶🎶❤️👍🙋♀️
"Wishing you were here" is my favorite Chicago groove. Beach Boys sing back up on the song. F#cking beautiful. Love your channel bro..and the hair. HAHA
One of my FAVORITE BANDS of all time. “Can Anyone Tell Me What Time it is”, “25 or 6 to 4”… CLASS
Kath really put everything into his vocals, just like he does with his guitar. He goes crazy on this song in the live at Tanglewood take.
Try Chicago's Color My World. Love the piano.... actually got me to learn how to play piano. Many groups then had a huge band with horns & more. Tower of Power is another great group.
Thanks, Shonrah!!
Once again, thank you for showcasing artists from my youth!! Another generation rediscovering music from "back in the day." Everything from the orchestral arrangements to artists who are accompanied by just acoustic guitar or piano.
Blessings, Shon!
(& no auto tune back then!!!)
Great song. Great reaction.
My Favorite band!!! 🙌💞
Go ahead and say it Shon. It makes you smile. Lol😊
🗣 MORE CHICAGO‼
Being in HS from 72 to 78 and in band throughout, we played plenty of Chicago. We had a small combo and played a couple songs from Chicago including this one, and we had a singer as well!
It's so wonderful to see the younger generation appreciate the music that I grew up to
You got it brother. I’m so glad you got to hear this music I grew up with.
I’m old now and watching you react to it is like hearing it again for the first time.
Peace.
If you like a group that has it all, music, instruments and great vocals👍 this is the one they were very popular when I was in high school 1969-1972 and college 1972-1976. This is definitely a rabbit hole you should investigate! Peace✌️ and Love❤️ Gary😅 "Saturday in the Park" you'll love it ❤️
Yes sir, this is Muuuusssiiiccccc....
Straight Masterpieces were EXPECTED from these Blokes ...n they Delivered !
Part 1 of James Pankow's 7-part "Ballet for a Girl in Buchannon" song cycle/suite, "Make Me Smile" was recorded for their second album, Chicago (often called Chicago II), which was released in 1970. A radio-friendly edit of "Make Me Smile" was released as a single, becoming the band's first Top 10 record (Part 5, "Colour My World," was initially released as the B-side). "Make Me Smile" was the group's breakthrough hit, in that Its success triggered renewed interest in the group's two prior releases, "Questions 67 and 68" and "Beginnings." - Edited from Wikipedia
Terry Kath is definitely one of the greatest guitarists to ever live and we lost so much great music when he died so suddenly and sadly. RIP Terry
Blood Sweat and tears - You've made me so happy!
Hi Shon, Chicago is a great group and yes Terry Kath was the Singer & Guitar player. They have many good songs like Saturday in the Park. 25 or 6 2 4 and you can see a live performance of Saturday in the park & Does Anybody Really Know What Time it is from 1973 having a BBQ with friends and at the end you can see Al Green
Go dig up their debut album when they were known as The Chicago Transit Authority and play these two tracks: "Introduction" and "Poem 58". Guitar player Terry Kath wrote "Introduction" and sang lead vocals. He was called "The White Ray Charles" by his bandmates. Soulful baritone voice as you just heard on "Make Me Smile"! "Poem 58" is nine minutes of PURE FUNK led by Terry Kath on guitar, Danny Seraphine on drums, and Peter Cetera on bass. Kath's guitar will have you needing an ice pack for your jaw after you pick it up from the floor!
When they were "The Chicago Transit Authority", they were the house band at the Whisky a Go Go in LA. One night between sets, Jimi Hendrix, who was in the audience, went to their dressing room after catching their first set. He walked up to their sax player Walt Parazaider and said, "You guys have a horn section that sounds like one set of lungs and a guitar player that's better than me! You wanna go on the road?" They said "YEAH!". And that's how they became Hendrix's opening act on a national arena tour.
Great band from the 70's-80's. They were a rock & roll band with horns & blended elements of classical music, jazz, R&B, & pop music. They had a lot of great songs such as "Does Anybody Really Know What Time It Is?", "Beginnings", "Feelin' Stronger Everyday", "Questions 67 & 68", "I'm A Man", "If You Leave Me Now", "Hard To Say I'm Sorry", "Saturday In The Park", "Colour My World", "You're The Inspiration", "Will You Still Love Me?", "Look Away", "Old Days" etc.
My vote is for "Feelin' Stronger Every Day" next.
" Saturday in the Park I think it was the Fourth of July "
Great reaction!
You have a bunch of great songs in the Chicago Catalog!!!! I suggest their cover of I'm a Man Shon!!!
They have a 4 album/CD Live album, Live from Carnegie Hall, HAPPY 'CAUSE I'M GOING HOME Live.
This song is from the music suite of Ballet for a Girl in Buchannon also known as "The Ballet" and "Make Me Smile Medley", is a nearly thirteen-minute mini-rock opera/song cycle/suite from Chicago's 1970 album Chicago (also called Chicago II). It was the group's first attempt at a long-format multi-part work.
Bro did 3 years at Ft. Sheridan and got to see Chicago !!!! 1984-87!
Kath's rhythm guitar was mesmerizing
Of course you love it!!
I can’t wait for you to hear “Beginnings!!”
Some of the other best (soulful with Terry) songs to check out. I'm a Man. What's This World Coming To. Poem 58. South California Purples. Dialogue Parts 1 & 2.
First 7 Albums have THIS KINDA VIBE ...till about 1975 .
1. Sing A Mean Tune .
2. IT Better End Soon .
3. What's This World Coming To ?
4. Sing A Mean Tune Kid .
5. The Approaching Storm ...
Enjoy immensely!
i loved this era of there music!
Ah!!! Memories, freakin memories!
Musicians, including synthesizer musicians, add a body, spirit, or essence to a song - they're a part of it. Also, the may sing backup, lead, or they may write. Excellent as always, Shon.
Wow, I can’t believe I’ve never heard this song before. Thanks for reviewing awesome tune.
'Questions 67 & 68' next please. Great rocker from the 1969 debut album.
Canada has a great band along these lines as well.
Check out 'Lighthouse - One Fine Morning' (1971)
Cheers.
the canada version of chicago. superb group
Hope you check Chicago's "Feelin' Stronger Every Day" ~ it's 🔥✌
Was originally called CTA. Saw them several times. First was time was when they were still CTA on Thanksgiving in 1968.
I'm sure that this was already mentioned but Hendrix loved Chicago. Was going to tour with them - he died right after that. He said of Terry Kath, that he was a better guitarist than he was and their horn section, "blew with one lung" Kath is undoubtedly the best percussion guitarist, ever and he was one of the few in Hendrix's league, but in my opinion, Hendrix was being modest.
They have so many great songs for you to react to, but I would love for you to check out their song, INTRODUCTION, next.
Love CCR this is one of their best, I remember it well. Thanks Shon
Terry Kath accidentally killed himself in a freak gun accident.....R.I.P ☹️☹️
Other horn bands to check out-Lighthouse (One Fine Morning), Ides Of March (Vehicle) and Chase (Get It On) and of course Blood Sweat & Tears (God Bless The Child, spinnoing Wheel, Lucretia MacEvil, Hi De Ho, Go Down Gamblin and You've Made Me So Very Happy)
For Chicago's jazzy brass influence, try their "Call on Me" next.
Try from live from tanglewood!
Should definitely do Chicago 25 or 26 to 4 live at tanglewood 1970 Has one of the greatest guitar solos ever or react to 80s Chicago which was more about the vocals of Peter Cetera songs like you’re the inspiration hard habit to break and hard to say I’m sorry can’t go wrong with either
So Good!!!
25 or 6 to 4 live from Tanglewood. 30 million views. If you wanna know who Terry (Kath) and Chicago is my brother from another mother.
Definitely one of the greatest guitar solos ever
Such a classic & another great reaction!
I'd love to see you react to The Broken Bells "Holding on for Life" (original video starring Anton Yelchin RIP). Such a fantastic & original song by a black & white duo. ❤
Beginnings should be next
They did many, many other great songs with great horns, but consider checking out 'Questions 67 & 68'.
❤Does Anybody Really Know What Time It Is? Saturday In The Park, many more, awesome band, tight, upbeat...love the horns 😈!
❤❤❤
I suggest The Hollies-
Long Cool Woman in a Black Dress;
He Ain't Heavy, He's My Brother;
The Air that I Breathe
Thanks!😊
Great review!
Rest in Peace Terry Kath 😢
Fun fact: the human ear is designed to natively accept analogue sound waves. Waves. Digital isn't a wave at all. It's blocks of data. It's completely inorganic to how we receive information. This is why, if you have occasion to listen to an album recorded on vinyl, it sounds so warm and natural. It's far superior to digital. Problem being, it's a finicky medium and humans do love their convenience. No matter the actual cost.
Terry Kath sings like RAY CHARLES !!!Please do BEGGININGS by Chicago next !
The White Ray Charles
I’m still waiting on some Shine Down. Trust me you won’t be disappointed.😢
25 or 6 to 4!!!!!!!!🔥
Terry kath on guitar
This is part of a seven-movement suite titled "Ballet for a Girl in Buchannon", written by trombone player James Pankow, appearing on Chicago's second album. James wrote it for a girl in West Virginia he was dating at the time.
The record label at the time of the release in 1970 joined together the opening and closing movements, "Make Me Smile" and "Now More Than Ever" (a reprise of "Make Me Smile") to release a single of "Make Me Smile" that sounded as a complete song. You should listen to the entire suite, which also includes Terry Kath's lead vocal on "Colour My World": czcams.com/video/xgM4xSIShYw/video.html
Hey bro what up? Don't forget about DOWN lies need to see reaction to this one it will probably end on playlist.
Try What is Hip? by Tower of Power. Amazing horns in an amazing high-energy funky song.
There are sooooo many songs 25 or 6 to 4 lets do it
Need to Check out a band called Queens of the Stone Age. Song “No One Knows”
Oops...doubled up on #1 & # 4...it's THAT good bro .
For a side track try listening to Lie To Me by Johnny Lang.
Terry Kath amazing talent. Gone too soon!!
Try some more music by YES one of the greatest progressive rock groups of all time. Some good ones include "Awaken", "Close to the Edge", "The Gates of Delirium", "Turn of the Century"... Loads of good ones.
Ha! You watching Rick Beato videos too huh?
One of my favorite songs. Maybe my favorite Chicago song. Another song of a doomed relationship lol.
I think there’s a live version that is much more worth watching.
PS most erotic song in the world.
“Cry sweet tears of joy. Touch the sky.” I think that’s what I’ve been singing all these years
OK maybe second to never been to Spain by Three Dog Night
#TerryKathOnTheGuitar
Any Chicago from ~1977 or earlier is great. After Terry Kath died, they got more bland.
absolutely spot on! when Peter got control they lost so much soul... Terry really was incredible, the best horns in the biz, and not a bad song until tragedy struck.
DOWN lies!
New music is artificial. You can do a lot with computers. Back then, and this was 1969, you recorded to tape. You could try to enhance it, but you got what you got. A lot more skill was required to make a good song.
pls react to aespa - Armageddon 🩷
Need a shirt?
Pauses suck.
Too much talking bro!!!😢😮
Those horns drive that shit!!!
