I hope your tears are a mix of joy and sadness, and not just the latter. I know where you are both coming from. My wife and I (both millennials) had this as our first dance at our wedding. I grew up in a "Chicago family" but my wife didn't, despite her being actually from Chicago. Nonetheless, Chicago music is still a big bonding point between us when we get time away from the kiddos. I can guarantee to you that deep down, if your husband was a Chicago fan, he was in touch with his feelings and knew what he was talking about!
All these years I thought I was a Chicago fan wrong, I'm a Peter Cetera fan. So much talent such a beautiful unique voice and gorgeous man. that song should have been number one. HAPPY RETIREMENT PETER. We'll never forget your voice! Wishing you health and happiness!
It's the first song I listened from Chicago. I was just eleven and I fell in love with this blond guy. Today I can't believe it, but he's 68 years old and his voice is the same. I mean it's better than never. I love Peter Cetera and I had the chance to go to his show here in Brazil this year. It was unforgetable.
MEE TOO!! Only I Had Just Turned 10 & Was Living In Boulder, Colorado🇺🇸 - Just Down The Canyon From Caribou Ranch - The Studio Where Chicago Recorded! I Fell In Love With The WHOLE Band All @ Once - Loved Those HORNS!! What A GREAT Sound They Had...And Peters' Voice, Of Course!!❤💕
Are there words to describe the perfection of this live performance? God, what a voice. Perfect pitch on every note plus smooth and easy transitions and added flavor. His voice is an instrument he can play like none other. That's a live vocal performance...hard to believe anyone could deliver that...but Peter Cetera did!! Just wow.
Peter Cetera undeniably one of the best vocalists EVER ! But ... listen to the ribbon of percussion tying this beautiful song together. Laudir de Oliveira was in his own right, a superstar! Masterfully weaving this song into a warm blanket of comfort for the senses. RIP Laudir 1940-2017
Already said this..But..man, gotta say it everytime..I LOVE PETER..I LOVE THIS SONG! I sing it to my dog 🐕❤️...she goes nuts, lays on me,wags,ans actually listens to the song...twisting her head...funny stuff..
He has a voice that gives me chills... I've been listening to Chicago forever. I'm 70 yrs and I'm still looking their music listening to Peter's voice...❤
I have always loved this song! Used it in a tape (yep, I'm old) I made for a girlfriend of mine years ago. Simply a great, great song, sung by a phenomenal singer.
This song oddly never got any airplay on the radio all these years even though it is among their best - one of my favorites from Chicago....so many favorites!!!
I grew up in Brazil and this song was such a huge success down there.. I've been in US for the past 18 years, listening to the radio during morning and evening commute, I don't remember hearing it once ... such sad thing for so great song... yup, my Chicago's favorite.
When it first came out, and radio stations were independently owned and not run by big corporations, it got a LOT of airplay, esp. on FM rock stations.
I got the 1991 Chicago music CD box set titled Group Portrait. A little book came with that box set. This is from what I remember from that book. Their producer who I think was also a manager named James William Guercio stated something to this effect;, (Happy Man was an unreleased number one.) I think a majority of this paragraph that I cut and pasted is also from that book as well. ---------- The album in this paragraph is referring to Chicago VII------ Cetera, who never claimed to be a Jazz musician, was discouraged about the original concept of the album, and also at his lack of participation as songwriter. He showed Guercio the lilting, Latin-tinged ballad “Happy Man.” “You know when people talk about these flashes of something coming?” Cetera asks. “They do, in fact. Every once in a while, a song will just come out of your mouth, the words and everything. It’s remembering it or having a tape player around when that happens that’s the important part. I wrote “Happy Man” about midnight driving down the San Diego Freeway on my motorcycle. It was the one and only song that I ever remembered, words and music, and I went home and sang it into a tape a day later.” That above cut and paste came from this website about Chicago chicagotheband.com/a-chicago-story/
I am going to see Peter Cetera in Berlin on 7th of November 2018, after waiting for decades finally it happens! Peter - I am sure that I will be a "very happy woman" !!:-))
And here is the heart of Chicago - Peter Cetera always gave his best when performing. That is why so many people wanted him back with Chicago. Just not the same.
went to high school in the late 60's and early 70's and Chicago was the greatest band and for me.... Happy Man was the best song ever from Chicago, and yes, I'm from Chicago and knew very well the bands siblings and parents. many years ago......
His charm and joy in living is evidenced in the Ice Skating show he did, singing his songs while Olympic skaters danced to his songs. He was adorable, lovable, charming, just naturally himself. It's the "Hard To Say I'm Sorry" video OttawaNow has up.
When I hear this song and others from Chicago VII...I remember so clearly being a toddler and my Mom playing it while doing house work and I'd open the album cover's gatefold to look at the pictures while the songs played.
@@tagomago994 too bad a comparison must always be made. These were two polar opposites; literally one sings in lowest register and other high; even though Peter sings well in midrange, such as the verse parts of Beatles "Got to get you into my life". Unquestionably they both oozed soul. But it is not fair to declare one better than the other, just for the distinct differences in vocal range. Then it comes down to opinion. Terry Kath was marvelous: an enigmatic leader, master guitarist, soulful singer. His death raised him up on a pedestal of perfection and there he will remain for dying so young; as is the case with Marilyn Monroe, Jimi Hendrix, so many others. One can't compete with the legendary dead who passed far too soon.
Can’t wait to love a happy man !! Peter Cetera’s lyric and voice sets the mood and standard for a good relationship., sure gets the mood and loving feelings going .. still crazy after all these years babe..
One of the greatest bands to ever play. As newlyweds, this was our first ever concert. They absolutely blew the roof off the place. My ears were ringing for two days. The following year they were back in town and we went again. Those were two of the best concerts ever…
My friends and I went to see them in our Senior year of high school, way back when and I fell in love with this song and from then on it has been my favorite by Chicago.
MY FAVORITE, IN THIS WORLD. STILL TODAY. MORE SO TODAY. I KEEP LISTENING WITH MY EARBUDS AND THE ONLY WAY I CAN LISTEN TO THIS SONG! WE MUST BE THE SAME AGE, FOR SURE. I TURN 64 NEXT MONTH. 12/22/22 BUT IS MY FAV SONG IN ALL MY YEARS OF LIVING. LIKE I LOVE BEATLES/PAUL SINGING TIL THERE WAS YOU...
Chicago i remember when i was in my country and i listened for the first time just you and me and also Old Days what a beautiful Thanks CHICAGO X EVERY MEMORY
Lol...Ever notice how so many ladies comment about how handsome Peter is, or nice he is, or sweet he is, etc.? What a lucky dude. Aside from that, this video is amazing. It really shows Peter’s absolutely amazing voice. Who sings like this?!?! NOBODY else on Earth! The one of a kind, Peter Cetera! Sometimes it doesn’t even sound like a human voice. But it’s definitely something you want to listen to. Truly amazing.
Peter Cetera has to be one of the greatest male vocalist ever, only been a fan for 37years. But what a backlog of songs he's got with or without Chicago. I've loved this song since I first heard it, it stood the test of time. Still as beautiful today.
All the clips I'vbc seen of this concert at Pineknob are phenomenal!...Peter's voice and bass playing are superb....the whole band is very cohesive...which says a lot given the fact that this was not long after loosing Terry. Peter doing what Peter does best!
yes. Not NEARLY enough credit has been given Peter Cetera for stepping up and keeping the Chicago we love going strong for eight more totally dedicated years, after Kath's death - despite what would come to be the dizzying parade of guitarists/singers/bassists - until mgmt & the band reneged on a prior agreement for him to make a solo album and issued him an ultimatum, in paper, going back on their prior gentlemen's agreement. Shitty, classless, unprofessional form on the part of CHI & Guercio/mgmt. Just like that, it's our way or the highway and boom; he was too easily kicked to the curb, although it was his decision to split and he was SO ready. Peter came into The Big Thing - pre CTA some 6 months or so after forming and I have always seen, sensed, detected a holding back from most of the band (mainly Pankow who led the horns & was quite vocal (outspoken in his views) from 100% embracing and accepting Peter as one of them, an equal. After Kath, Cetera was the heart of Chicago.
I'm from Detroit, and I was lucky enough to see this concert! One of the many times I've seen them over the years! Jason Scheff had some pretty big shoes to fill when Peter left the group! I've seen him sing this song and he does Damm good!!
I THOUGHT PETER WROTE THIS SONG, DIDN'T HE? IT WAS MY MOST FAVORITE SONGS WHEN I WAS A TEENAGER AND HAS REMAINED MY FAVORITE TODAY, LOVING IT A MILLION TIMES MORE TODAY! 12/22/22
One of the many songs that Cetera wrote to or about his former spouse, Diane Nini, with whom he became involved in about 1973. He really poured his heart out on his solo album, World Falling Down (1992), after they had split. He's never remarried.
poor guy. To think one who writes such amazingly beautiful songs about women and love would not have a lifelong mate. It's not that easy to find the love he sings of though. It is extremely aspirational.
Most if not all of his solo albums were about his second wife Diane (Nini). He LOVED that woman so much so he never got into a serious relationship again what seems like 30-35 years 😢 poor Peter 💔💔💔. Rumor has it he may be married now since retirement who knows 😏 . If he is, good for him, I guess he doesn't want to die alone given who he was. Anyhow, Peace Out ✌ 😊
When I bought the album and listened to it the song that never left my feeling of joy was this one ! Chicago is one of the greatest ever and this song is amazingly beautiful ! Blessings and greetings from USA !
When my husband proposed to me, he said this song expressed his feelings. He passed away in 2017 but when I hear this song, it makes me cry.
I can feel your feelings, now you've made me cry😢, no joke
So sorry
He still and always will love you
I hope your tears are a mix of joy and sadness, and not just the latter. I know where you are both coming from. My wife and I (both millennials) had this as our first dance at our wedding.

Also my favorite Chicago song❤️❤️❤️
Cetera's voice is unbelievable. This is one of my favorites by Chicago
Singers of today could NEVER sing live like these guys.....

@@lisalefleur2977 Sure, because you know SO MUCH about today's singers. smh

One of the greatest love songs of all time sung by one of the greatest singers of all time.

@@eileenmarquezorozco5520 i can not bilieve you
Very underrated song by Chicago. It's my favorite, by far, of their songs. No one can sing it like Pete. The words and the music are stunning.
Do ano que eu nasci essa musica
Bam
Jason tried! Just karaoke!
No one has ever been able to match that beautiful voice and never will.
Chicago Fan I feel exactly the same , love him till now 💜💜💜
Peter is w/o a doubt one of the greatest singers who ever walked Gods green earth 😊 Just beautiful...
Jeffrey Romualdi I absolutely agree with that. I’ve loved his voice since 1970 when I bought my first album of theres 🥰
Jeffrey Romualdi , I totally agree , so much talent, love Peter 💜💜💜💜
Unbelievably beautiful, emotional and soulful voice. Love Peter
I agree.
I agree 100%.
What a beautiful song, performance and a wonderful and handsome singer like Peter Cetera. Nobody like him.💖
All these years I thought I was a Chicago fan wrong, I'm a Peter Cetera fan. So much talent such a beautiful unique voice and gorgeous man. that song should have been number one. HAPPY RETIREMENT PETER. We'll never forget your voice! Wishing you health and happiness!

ME HAPPENED THE SAME, SINCE I AM HIS UNCONDITIONAL FAN .. LOVE SO MUCH MT .. BEST VOICE OF ALL TIMES
MEE TOO!! Only I Had Just Turned 10 & Was Living In Boulder, Colorado🇺🇸 - Just Down The Canyon From Caribou Ranch - The Studio Where Chicago Recorded! I Fell In Love With The WHOLE Band All @ Once - Loved Those HORNS!! What A GREAT Sound They Had...And Peters' Voice, Of Course!!❤💕
Are there words to describe the perfection of this live performance?
God, what a voice. Perfect pitch on every note plus smooth and easy transitions and added flavor. His voice is an instrument he can play like none other. That's a live vocal performance...hard to believe anyone could deliver that...but Peter Cetera did!! Just wow.
Nancy Anderson Ahern couldn't have said it better myself , no one could compare with Peters vocals and style of singing !!!!!!
Peter Cetera undeniably one of the best vocalists EVER !
But ... listen to the ribbon of percussion tying this beautiful song together. Laudir de Oliveira was in his own right, a superstar! Masterfully weaving this song into a warm blanket of comfort for the senses. RIP Laudir 1940-2017
Ladir Oliveira. É brasileiro.
yes...I hear is too!!! All that beautiful talent.
Already said this..But..man, gotta say it everytime..I LOVE PETER..I LOVE THIS SONG! I sing it to my dog 🐕❤️...she goes nuts, lays on me,wags,ans actually listens to the song...twisting her head...funny stuff..
@@marcosfalantes1simmm! Muito orgulho! A gente sente que ele é brasileiro de ouvir ❤
He has a voice that gives me chills... I've been listening to Chicago forever. I'm 70 yrs and I'm still looking their music listening to Peter's voice...❤
Very special song sung by the best xxx
Wow Cetera was incredible as well as the rest of Chicago!!
He is still great. I watched a program/show with Chicago last year (2016) and Peter was there, the frontman, lending his voice.
could you put the Link please? i just love this band from my childhood
I have always loved this song! Used it in a tape (yep, I'm old) I made for a girlfriend of mine years ago. Simply a great, great song, sung by a phenomenal singer.
This song oddly never got any airplay on the radio all these years even though it is among their best - one of my favorites from Chicago....so many favorites!!!

When it first came out, and radio stations were independently owned and not run by big corporations, it got a LOT of airplay, esp. on FM rock stations.
Peter did a remake of this song on his album, “One Clear Voice”. I like that version better than this one. Not that this one is bad by any means.

I’ve loved Peter Cetera tunes for over 40 years. ♥️♥️♥️
Peter is so sweet , I could feel all his emotion when he sings and performs , he is my happy man !!!!!!!
Yes, he was back then and still is. He sings with much emotion.
I fell in love with a woman teaching me how to dance the cha cha back in the 70”s, to this song !!!
AMEN, SISTER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! WHAT A PERFECT SENTIMENT!!! HE'S MY NEW HAPPY MAN, TOO! MY FAV SONG IN THE UNIVERSE. FOR 40 YEARS!
I am going to see Peter Cetera in Berlin on 7th of November 2018, after waiting for decades finally it happens! Peter - I am sure that I will be a "very happy woman" !!:-))

I was at this concert, sitting in the third row! I was a happy girl!
W o w

I never get tired of listening to their music...especially there older albums. Can u tell I'm from the 70's..LoL!
The ORIGINAL CHICAGO!!
I love Peter i was 9yrs old just beautiful i still listen to Chicago, that was one of the happiest time of my life bring back beautiful memories 😍😍😍😍
Essa música é ETERNA 😍😍😍
went to high school in the late 60's and early 70's and Chicago was the greatest band and for me.... Happy Man was the best song ever from Chicago, and yes, I'm from Chicago and knew very well the bands siblings and parents. many years ago......
Lucky you! ❤️
Love Chicago like crazy!!!!!!!!!!! And for almost 40 years!!!!!!!!!!!! Thank you guys for your music!
one of the best Chicago songs without horns
Right? Lol.🙃
yeah Peter .Was modern Chicago My Opinion
From what I’ve heard, Pete didn’t like the horns. Great song, excellent vocals... but, not a fan of the yacht rock that followed...
One of my favorite songs ever!
My god what a unquie voice.
I never get tired of hearing him sing.Best singer I have ever heard.
Just one date Peter Cetera, ok maybe two. Love your voice, always have since I was a teenager in 1970. This song was one of your best!!
You better pick a number and get in line 🎶💋🎶
NO...THE BEST SONG PERIOD. EVER. IN THIS UNIVERSE. MOST BEAUTIFUL SONG I'VE EVER HEARD AND I'M 64. 12/22/22
One date please with Peter Cetera
@@mariebruzdowski6466 nah I would of taken the late Terry Kath
It's sick to try to romance artists, sick. Enjoy the music
That song and Peter singing it makes me a happy girl. 💗💗😘
I love so much Peter Cetera!!!♡♡♡♡♡
Never heard this song until this summer. But I have since "fallen in love" with it!
Joneth Gabriel It's been played on the radio since 1974.
Even my 23 yo daughter knew it! I must have been too young to care...but I love it now!
Great music is timeless. I feel so fortunate to come from a generation that made such good music.
Peter's voice is so colourful....this performance is so magnetic...lovin his bass...Gorgeous song 🎶💜
LOVE Peter's voice. He also seems like such a great man.
Just love love peter cetera he's my dream lover yum
Love his beautiful green eyes , sooo sexy 💜
His charm and joy in living is evidenced in the Ice Skating show he did, singing his songs while Olympic skaters danced to his songs.

Terry absolutely killing in the shadows 🌟
Hard to pick a favorite, but this song and performance are the top of my Peter Cetera list of obsessions ❤️
When I hear this song and others from Chicago VII...I remember so clearly being a toddler and my Mom playing it while doing house work and I'd open the album cover's gatefold to look at the pictures while the songs played.
my brother would open the gatefold and separate the seeds from the buds down the crack in the middle
Mom Had GOOD Taste!!
I totally agree he's the most amazing singer.I Soo love this song.His voice is so unique.
I'm a fan forever.😘
Peter Cetera é demais, vi um show emocionante ... Chicago faz parte em - the best love songs !!

They are different and there is not one better than the other.
Alain Quinn I agree , Peter is my no. One 💜💜💜💜💜
@@tagomago994 too bad a comparison must always be made. These were two polar opposites; literally one sings in lowest register and other high; even though Peter sings well in midrange, such as the verse parts of Beatles "Got to get you into my life".

Peter Cetera is Chicago. Unique sound that can not be duplicated. He is one and only. I was 12 yrs old when he impressed me. He is kool, he is suave!
