One of my favorite songs of all time....this is one of tbe great rock songs of all time. I met Jimmy Pankow who wrote this ,and told him that i want this played at my memorial service..He couldnt believe it. Peter can sing anything. Thats why i told you guys months ago to do this song....Chicago is CRIMINALLY UNDERRATED. CRIMINALLY
This is probably my favorite Chi song. Great lyrics, great vocals, incredible bass and percussion, and Kath guitar at the end. They still perform this song regularly in concert.
There's still enough heft in the band at this point, but it was being scaled back in favor of pop. This is a great mix of the pop they'd end up doing but with some rock band weight to it. Feelin Stronger Every Day gives me the same vibe. And in both songs the transition to the second half of the song is tremendous. Always liked this song.
Peter's got a Stevie Wonderish thing happening towards the end as he goes into funk mode along with the rest of the band. Yeaaaaaah eeeeeeee.. Yeah yeah! Awesome song and easily one of the strongest from this album. ❤
Just saw them in Windsor Canada April 2023..got to go onstage meet them..and take pictures with them…we did the VIP tickets..still amazing after listening to them since I was a teen in the 70s..Robert Lamm one of my fave rock band vocalists
The beginning reminded me of soap opera music. I guess it’s fitting since this seems like a love song to me. Love the high harmonies. Love how they built it up to the soulful, groovy sound at the end-that’s what I needed to feel satisfied. 😂
I've been Searching is such a beautiful song! that outro guitar is amazing. Terry was the man on guitar and Peter the voice for Chicago. Terry's playing is one of those like Hendrix that you immediately know who's playing and it wonderful! Great job you two, great reviews!
Hi, it’s awhile since I’ve watched one of your videos and I missed you guys! 😆 I’ve been a huge Chicago fan since I was a young kid (predominately late 60’s and 70’s-era Chicago, prior to the David Foster “popification” of the band in the 80’s). You really need to check out some videos from the band Leonid and Friends, who mainly do Chicago covers, but they have also done some songs from other bands (Steely Dan, Earth, Wind and Fire, Tower of Power, etc) and they have a couple originals. They are based out of Russia and the leader is a producer/musician from Moscow who started the band as a tribute to Chicago because he’s been a huge fan since he was a child. You won’t believe how phenomenal the covers are, with meticulous arrangements and incredible playing/singing. I just saw them play live in Massachusetts a couple months ago (I also saw them in 2019 during their first US tour) and they just as good live. If I already mentioned them in one of your previous videos…never mind! 😆
Chicago VII (leather album cover) - Searchin' So Long - I could tell the opening with strings threw you all for a loop! hahahah....However, Sifa your reactions to Peter Cetera's voice goes without saying!! I could tell his voice touched you. When this album came out I was completely blown away again by the virtuosity, musicianship and innovation of Chicago. All their instrumentals and songs with vocals are amazing. Chicago released CTA through Chicago XI with Terry Kath - Chicago VII reminds me of CTA in that double album of incredible charts. One of the other songs to review is Call on Me - written by Lee Loughnane (I believe his first) and is based on the divorce of his first wife. Peter's voice is incredible on that vocal and the horns rock!
☺️we call Chicago VII ‘Gold Chicago’ because we never touched the actual vinyl and all we have is the pictures. Peter’s voice is golden! Thanks so much for sharing Henry!
This is an amazing album. I believe Peter's voice really shines on "Woman Don't Want To Love Me." He's hitting on some Al Green throughout. Also, Terry's guitar solo is like no other.
Imagine being 12 years old when you first heard this song! Yeah… I bet I looked a lot like the two of you ….air drums and all! Secret sauce was in the mix. All time hidden classic. TYVM
James Pankow - the man wrote some masterpieces and this is one. He was influenced by the classics (Bach etc.) You can definitely notice with this song.
Hey, beautiful people and friends of great music! I know this song gave you a bit of heartburn at first. I think you expected the RnR experience from previous albums. I think this is where Chicago started moving into the next era...the one prior to their, "yacht rock" time in the '80's. You two are so great and fun and smart!!
Thanks for this reaction. I quite enjoy this track. First time Chicago recorded with strings. I believe I first heard this song in 1977 through my Marantz/ L100 stereo similar to the same thing I use to listen to your reactions. This track is absolutely one of my favorites.
Emulating the Beach Boys here. They would later work with Brian Wilson. This is kind of the ballady Chicago they were trending to and which i hated but the orchestration and swells are so spectacular i did love this. Maybe my last fling with the band.
I think that you may have confused tbis song with Song of the Evergreens ogf Chicago VII (GOLD CHICAGO) Peter Ceters what a voicd....In my opinion he ranks with Plant, Mercury, Rodgers as all time great rock singers. He can sing anything abd oh yeah what a basd player
I'm going to subscribe for doing Chicago, but can you please play the non-hits of the 70s? EVERYONE does the same 5 songs. "Women Don't Want To Love Me" is sooo funky. THAT would be introducing even Chicago fans to new stuff and would separate yourselves from all the other channels like Joey who now gets 33 views. There's a million doing the same songs. "Oh, Thank You Great Spirit" is a great song and they sound so different. There's 3 lead singers. Documentaries on TH-cam, Terry Kath one is free.

The most beautiful song Chicago has ever created. 😔😢✌️🥰

An absolute classic and one of their bests. I hope someone requests, "No Tell Lover" soon.
Thanks for watching Joe!
No tell lover? Blahhh
Yes. No Tell Lover is great!
Peter's got a Stevie Wonderish thing happening towards the end as he goes into funk mode along with the rest of the band. Yeaaaaaah eeeeeeee.. Yeah yeah! Awesome song and easily one of the strongest from this album. ❤
Just a fuc$ing great song.
They brought the soul and funk on this beautiful tune!
That is and always has been an epic track
4 spectacular voices since 1970. Karen Carpenter/Pete Cetera/Whitney Houston/Richard Paige(Mister Mister).
Lord have mercy that outro!
I loved Sifa's response to this. I got chills all over again. Thank you both for doing this one.
Thanks so much for watching!

Y'all have good taste. The song was flat out beautiful. Ranks with their best ballads.
Thanks so much for watching Chris!
Big brass boys with the bomb sound. Glad you enjoyed my old school music. Top 5 band all time.
I saw them twice in concert.
The beginning reminded me of soap opera music. I guess it’s fitting since this seems like a love song to me. Love the high harmonies. Love how they built it up to the soulful, groovy sound at the end-that’s what I needed to feel satisfied. 😂
It reminded me of the young and the restless!
@@MovementGraffiti I couldn’t remember which soap that’s why I didn’t say so thank you!😂
@@MovementGraffiti That was my mom's favorite!
It is funny that your ability to physically capture the feelings that I was having about this song. You were unbelievable!
Thanks so much!
Cetera is one of the greatest bassists and singer ever and my favorite as both singer and bassist.
There's really nothing about this song that I don't LIKE!!! James Pankow worked his magic on this one. I enjoyed watching your reactions! Thanks. ❤️
Thanks so much Keedeeg!
I've been Searching is such a beautiful song! that outro guitar is amazing. Terry was the man on guitar and Peter the voice for Chicago. Terry's playing is one of those like Hendrix that you immediately know who's playing and it wonderful! Great job you two, great reviews!
This song is a masterpeice.
For sure!
Well thought out song
Peter cetera, top notch vocals top notch bass player

Sounds sweet in the headphones!
Saw Chicago in Seattle at a outdoor concert!! It was outstanding!!❤❤❤❤
THE most underappreciated Chicago song.
Killed us yes it did!!
Never miss your Chicago reactions love them love you guys Always
Love you too David, thanks for watching!
Mucho classico. I'm pretty sure everyone who ever hears this song for the first time feels like they heard it before.
It's one of them songs.
Lots of layers of instruments
Great crescendo 😎
They killed it on this song Raw talent
Facts! Thanks for watching Richard!
OH!! TERRY!! WHAT A 🎸 GUITARIST!!
Imagine being 12 years old when you first heard this song! Yeah… I bet I looked a lot like the two of you ….air drums and all! Secret sauce was in the mix. All time hidden classic. TYVM
☺️we bet! Thanks for watching Ray!
James Pankow - the man wrote some masterpieces and this is one. He was influenced by the classics (Bach etc.) You can definitely notice with this song.
A mixture of R&B & rock!
Master performance. ONe of the few Chicago songs where the lyrics are actually more important than the music
I believe that's Peter and Robert Lamm (keyboardist) on vocals
Fantastic song. I had to watch this one twice. Love this. Thanks!
Thanks for being here Music Lover!

Peter Cetera killing it on vocals. I love it.

VERY SWEET GUY HES BEEN CALLED A BIG TEDDY 🐻 BEAR!!

This is kind of the ballady Chicago they were trending to and which i hated but the orchestration and swells are so spectacular i did love this. Maybe my last fling with the band.
This is a rock song not a sappy love song...
Chicago is just great even through the 80’s
I think that you may have confused tbis song with Song of the Evergreens ogf Chicago VII (GOLD CHICAGO)
Peter Ceters what a voicd....In my opinion he ranks with Plant, Mercury, Rodgers as all time great rock singers. He can sing anything abd oh yeah what a basd player
Not sure
Absolutely!
check this songs live version (At the greek theater). you won’t regret it…
Terry Kath bringing it.
Omg
The soundtrack of my 8 year old self

Listen to the new version by Leonid & Friends.

We’ve done both of those. Just put us in the search engine with them. Thanks so much for watching!
