After listening to this guy, I hate to admit it, but I feel comfortable saying this : he's got what it takes to be the frontman for this band, he know how to sing... and he does it well... but at the end, nobody wants to be compared to anybody else...
This has always been my favorite Chicago song, for personal reasons. I'll always love the original P.C. version the most, but these guys are doing an awesome job!!❤
I like this version. Jason was certainly in the zone with a great band behind him. It's not fair to compare anyone to somebody like Peter Cetera and why would anyone want to.
INCOG NITO because it's not fair that they they forced him to try and sound like PETER after what they did to him , it's sad for them because no one could EVER match peters voice or any of his performances !!!!!!
Remember seeing Jason and Chicago in early 1990's. His voice was quite powerful then. I saw him again just before he left the band and his voice certainly took a beating. Loved how he did this song back then tough.
ilove Jason Scheff's voice... he continued peter ceteras job as a lead vocal.. hes voice is very fantastic...he is also goodlooking... we cannot compare cetera and Scheff's voice they have different quality..and they have different style..
You are so right - I hate that Dawayne left them!! Jason equals Peter Cetera even if the tone is different between their voices. Jason is more mellow and Peter is more sharp it seems to me!! Dawayne is awesome as a singer as well as a guitarist!!!!
Saw him live when he was young and his voice was very strong and was able to sing in the tenor range with ease and projected well and had a powerful expression for this song that was a different interpretation of the original by Peter. His voice declined towards his last years with Chicago. But if you listen to Cetera sing this in more recent years, he actually sings in a lower key.
Love this song so much. I dedicate this to one who owns my heart, mind and soul No matter what happen, if our destiny would be in separate ways, Mr. X would still my one and only love, GOD knows.
Hi Jugg, I once watched a DVD with Chicago and Earth, Wind and Fire doing a concert together. Do try to get it if you haven't seen it yet. Simply beautiful.
Don't know, but it's definitely in the 1986-1995 range. PC left in '86 and it was in 1995 when Dwayne Bailey, the guitarist in the video, was replaced by Keith (Karaoke) Howland.
yeppers, I was front row at the Marysville(Seattle) show and let me just say, YUMMY and Enveloping~ This third generation frontman did a stupendous job and certainly was easy on the eyes!!
chicago IS my favorite band and has been ever since i can remember hearing thier songs on the radio in the 70's when i was just a kid. this guy does a good job and didnt butcher the song. he is not peter cetera and never will be...sorry dude not better. but hey peter was the one that walked away. im glad chicago is still out there right guys.................
Chicago sounds pretty good with their new guy.. one of many great hits that you still hear all the time... soft-rock is always good music, but I like the studio songs better...
I have to say this is such a unique style. 2 different styles of singing cant compare. I like the fact that this version as so many ups and downs. its a different approach to a great song. Peters version is a little more layed back and mellow.
One would only draw the conclusion that Jason Scheff couldn't sing if they were expecting to hear a Peter Cetera sound-alike. If you heard this song for the very first time and Jason was singing it, you'd probably rave about his voice. I personally like his quirky vocal technique.
I have come to agree with you about hearing the 2nd person singing a song - but I love his variations also (or quirkiness). Sometimes the 2nd person does a better job - though Peter and Jason are equally awesome in my book!!!!!
I am amazed at how anyone can say Jason Scheff is somehow "better" than Peter Cetera - same goes for Keith Howland - the two (karaoke?) singers for Chicago for the last few decades. For heaven's sake anyone who says that probably has not watched the ORIGINAL version of this song as sung by Peter Cetera back in 1976 (there is one on youtube). So anyone saying that obviously was not exposed to the ORIGINAL Chicago lineup prior to 1985, which is about when Cetera left the band. The video of Cetera singing this song back in 1976 is also a live performance. It is flawless, pure and simple, and he was blessed with a unique voice and knew how to use it. In contrast, and from a strict technical perspective neither Scheff or Howland comes close to Cetera's vocals. In my opinion that fact is amplified by another fact: Cetera wrote the song!!! I am not saying these two other guys don't have decent voices, but from a technical perspective it's impossible to avoid seeing that especially Scheff kicks into falsetto quite a few times (verboten by true vocalists in most cases). In short, anyone that says Scheff or Howland vocal talents "are as good as" Cetera's (when he was in his prime) are probably the type of people that say any "replica" is good as the original. But how can that be?
ESTE FUE EL TEMA DE JUVENTUD 77. MOVIMIENTO SALECIANO DON BOSCO DE GUATEMALA. ME TRAE GRATOS RECUERDOS. PUES YO GANE EL PRIMER LUGAR DE ORATORIA A NIVEL BASICOS. TIEMPOS EN LOS CUALES SE IMPARTIA EDUCACION. CULTURA. ARTES. SALUDES DESDE EL PAIZ DE LA ETERNA PRIMAVERA.
And by the way, I saw tem last year, and he doesnt have to sing it in all falsetto, he's always getting better, and I think he does a great job singing and playing the bass at the same time.
At least Jason sings to his audience. Cetera in his Chicago days always appeared to just sing to his mic and bass, not making eye contact with the crowd...

Jason was awesome here. He was not trying to replace Peter, He was just doing his job. Long live Chicago.
After listening to this guy, I hate to admit it,
but I feel comfortable saying this :
he's got what it takes to be the frontman
for this band, he know how to sing... and
he does it well... but at the end, nobody wants
to be compared to anybody else...
Jason's voice has that groovy ring on it. Love, love his locks 😍
The band Chicago will never be Chicago without Peter Cetera, because Peter Cetera will always be Chicago along with the rest of the originals!
YOU GOT IT 😁
Як на мене, цей вокаліст кращий ніж сетера🤫
I LOVE JASON SCHEFF’S VERSION
Jason's version bring me much more emotion than cetera's
Not bad
Yes
Não
😂😂😂😂 yeah right !! ?@leafl75
This has always been my favorite Chicago song, for personal reasons. I'll always love the original P.C. version the most, but these guys are doing an awesome job!!❤
Excelente musico e cantor!! Deu cara nova a esta linda canção!!!!!
I love Jason , warm voice.. Great both.. Everyone with different style..
I like this version. Jason was certainly in the zone with a great band behind him. It's not fair to compare anyone to somebody like Peter Cetera and why would anyone want to.
YEAH - both are good in their own way!!!! We miss Dawayne on guitar - I wonder where he is now.
INCOG NITO because it's not fair that they they forced him to try and sound like PETER after what they did to him , it's sad for them because no one could EVER match peters voice or any of his performances !!!!!!
Sounds like a good tribute band.
He's good real GOOD !! very gifted. such a nice voice...like silk. GOD BLESS YOU!
Remember seeing Jason and Chicago in early 1990's. His voice was quite powerful then. I saw him again just before he left the band and his voice certainly took a beating. Loved how he did this song back then tough.
Jason was the perfect choice to keep the chicago sound alive.
I am with you he have one great voice ? Jason scheff is the best
definitely the best version of this song on TH-cam ... what a difficult octave range to hit and Jason does as good a job as anyone (even Peter)
He doesn't own up to Peter Cetera
jason is going falceto...many himan can do that even me...bt peter using falceto in this song..means his a beast
ilove Jason Scheff's voice... he continued peter ceteras job as a lead vocal.. hes voice is very fantastic...he is also goodlooking... we cannot compare cetera and Scheff's voice they have different quality..and they have different style..
Jason is wonderful. As far as comparing him to Peter, they both have wonderful vocal qualities.
I love Jason Scheff and Dawayne Bailley. Both of you are the best
By far the best version of this song.....
Many have tried to sing this great song, pleasant enough, but Peter Is the master.
I love this version of the song. Jason Scheff vocals are terrific and this is when Dawayne Bailey was in Chicago. Awesome...
You are so right - I hate that Dawayne left them!! Jason equals Peter Cetera even if the tone is different between their voices. Jason is more mellow and Peter is more sharp it seems to me!! Dawayne is awesome as a singer as well as a guitarist!!!!
2:54 or after ---- love those keyboard sounds!! Whole song is awesome!!
Still enjoying.... beautiful version ! ♥️
Great horns - takes me back to the 9th grade!!
Just found out he is the son of Jerry Scheff, famous Elvis and Doors bassist
obožavam ovu grupu, ova je pjesma fantastična a i bend ima odlično ime
Jason version is amazing,angelic voice..love it..
Saw him live when he was young and his voice was very strong and was able to sing in the tenor range with ease and projected well and had a powerful expression for this song that was a different interpretation of the original by Peter. His voice declined towards his last years with Chicago. But if you listen to Cetera sing this in more recent years, he actually sings in a lower key.

Love this song Jason sung it with so much emotion great job..
Cetera yes .. but this guy has feeling too in his voice .. wow !!! Fab version of a classic!
still love it
Very beautiful, I love this song
GRAN MATERIAL, SUBE MÁS POR FAVOR CON ESTA EXCELENTE CALIDAD
who doesn't love a man that can sing..
Hi Jugg, I once watched a DVD with Chicago and Earth, Wind and Fire doing a concert together. Do try to get it if you haven't seen it yet. Simply beautiful.
this is the best version of this song other than cetera ive ever heard
Jason Scheff....been with them for a long time....
Que sonho ouvir essa canção... Thanxxxx
This is fantastic and seems to me like maybe the best performance of this song on youtube.
Don't know, but it's definitely in the 1986-1995 range. PC left in '86 and it was in 1995 when Dwayne Bailey, the guitarist in the video, was replaced by Keith (Karaoke) Howland.
Amo essa música de paixão mas gostaria de ver a tradução dela porque a música é linda!!❤
This song unforgettable.. .+5 Chicago' trumpets is best...

Thank's for posting it! He is goooooooooood! But not better.He is different.
I love this song
not necessarily better than cetera, but definitely every bit as good!
Matt L. No one could ever sound as good as peters distinctive voice !!!!!
Chicago sounds pretty good with their new guy..
one of many great hits that you still hear
all the time... soft-rock is always good music,
but I like the studio songs better...
Wonderful song and a beautiful voice...........
Najpiękniejszy utwór o miłości..Wokalista niesamowity..
Que linda cancion .... sin palabras me deja cada vez que la escucho
I have to say this is such a unique style. 2 different styles of singing cant compare. I like the fact that this version as so many ups and downs. its a different approach to a great song. Peters version is a little more layed back and mellow.
, ilove this song... and ilove Jason Scheff...... im like in a cloud everytime i listening to his song... perfect... 😍😘💞💋💕
Sincerely, the only song of Chicago I liked
Fantastic performance !!almost reach the Original version..
❤amo essa música ❤
Da Disco dance ao Rock.... Os melhores
abı yaslandık be... gıdıcıyız bu dunyadan... hep genc kalırız sandık ama hayat bır solukta aktı gectı... ellerım bomboş... allah affetsın.
beatiful song for the people who has a good taste
my fav group all time
I want Chicago to come in Belgrade!
I like the sound of brass instruments.
One would only draw the conclusion that Jason Scheff couldn't sing if they were expecting to hear a Peter Cetera sound-alike. If you heard this song for the very first time and Jason was singing it, you'd probably rave about his voice. I personally like his quirky vocal technique.
+Max Pankau The original singer always does it better than their replacement.
I have come to agree with you about hearing the 2nd person singing a song - but I love his variations also (or quirkiness). Sometimes the 2nd person does a better job - though Peter and Jason are equally awesome in my book!!!!!
hermosa cancion exelente grupo.
Esta canción es muy hermosa me encanta
This song is very besutifull i like me
They do such a beautiful job with this song live. My favorite part is 2:56-2:59. Love that melody!
Chicago,no matter what song is played,has a sound the make one appreciate their music every time it's heard!
The most control I ever heard out of Bailey's guitar on a number! He was quite talented!!
I just picked up the December issue of Bass Player magazine. In it, Pete (Cetera) talks about his departure from Chicago. Very informative.
Ouvindo essa música linda, em Itaporanga- PB -Maio-2018
Awesome song and a wonderful voice
I know Cetera was great but Jason has a special thing about him as well and I will miss him
Hmmm, Jason looks much better than Peter ;-)....How cute!! I have never heard him sing before...not bad at all! Thanks rushman1989!
And he is so much better than Keith and Cetera,So much better.
Amazing Voice.
Can you listen to one song over and over and over..
La mejor versión a mi gusto
Such a great voice..
he is better than so many singers be it Cetera or Etcetara
Beautiful voice
I am amazed at how anyone can say Jason Scheff is somehow "better" than Peter Cetera - same goes for Keith Howland - the two (karaoke?) singers for Chicago for the last few decades.

+ericsattic The irreplaceable isn't replaceable ill tell you that. It's not and never will be Chicago without Peter Cetera.
Michael David I totally agree !!!!!!
I love this song!!
I don't care if it's better than Cetera or not. It's breathtaking either way.
Love the live version "echo" of a big stadium!! Breathtaking performance!!
love his singing,great job.we have to come over it that bands are touring with other singers...because they can't touring without a singer.
Very Nice...of coures there from Chi Town
love it jason scheff..my favorite
Love this song
Que canción más hermosa en la voz de Jason 🥺🥺mi melancolía 💕
ESTE FUE EL TEMA DE JUVENTUD 77. MOVIMIENTO SALECIANO DON BOSCO DE GUATEMALA. ME TRAE GRATOS RECUERDOS. PUES YO GANE EL PRIMER LUGAR DE ORATORIA A NIVEL BASICOS. TIEMPOS EN LOS CUALES SE IMPARTIA EDUCACION. CULTURA. ARTES. SALUDES DESDE EL PAIZ DE LA ETERNA PRIMAVERA.
Is it just me that I prefer this version than the original one?
Beautiful love
And by the way, I saw tem last year, and he doesnt have to sing it in all falsetto, he's always getting better, and I think he does a great job singing and playing the bass at the same time.
dont care if its jason or peter.. this song is so nice! :)
me recuerda mis años 80s maravillosos
At least Jason sings to his audience. Cetera in his Chicago days always appeared to just sing to his mic and bass, not making eye contact with the crowd...
muito bom Chicago kkkk
