We deserve no pride from the awesome music they made. They deserve that. The band. We only get to feel pride from the stuff that WE have done. We had the glorious advantage of growing up with amazing music like this. But we get no justification for pride. Important technical distinction.
Same for me Teresa. This must have been one of the best concerts of all time. And our generation keeps being young. I dance to Chicago on a daily basis.
@Moon glow It's not that I don't agree with you, because I really do! Nobody loved Chicago more than me. But! Just before and after Woodstock, The the late 60s & 70's were Thee greatest periods in American Popular music EVER! To never be seen again. It was a Magical Musical Renaissance made up of the most amazing musicians, producing the best modern popular music in American History. You could throw a rock in any direction and hit a Great Musician or Band in the 60s & 70s Rock era. It was the Raw sound of Wild untamed Freedom! Free Love & Sex, Drugs, Poetry to the most amazing sounds of R&B, Rock & Roll, Hard Rock, Fusion Jazz Rock. Like Tower of Power, Santana. Blood Sweat and Tears, Steely Dan and The Brecker Bros. Southern Rock, Like the Doobie Bros, and Mountain, Grand Funk Railroad, Allman Bros, Steve Ray Vaughn, Joe Walsh? And never forget the British invasion that gave us, Led Zeppelin, The Beatles, The Who, Elton John and Never ever forget the LIVING LEGEND, The man himself, Eric Clapton. There's just too much and too many to mention in one conversation. I cry when I listen to those recordings, Because that was when we were Wild & Free, Young, Dumb and Full of Cum! And the Music of the 70's Made it Flow!
This is one of my favorite bands from my youth. I'm 73 years now in '23 still I listen to this great performance at Tanglewood can't get enough of it, everytime I get the shivers...
I stopped my truck in 1974 and danced this song (color my world) with a new girl I met, we married 6 months later. Have 4 sons and we lost her unexpectedly after 46 years. Thanks for this song
" my condolences of Your Loss ,❤ I bet she was quite a catch . all the best to yuh and Family n' take care yerselves. The good Times is what makes you Smile n' keep on Truck'n ( goin) ☮
Terry's guitar skills were so good that we tend to forget that he also had a beautiful soulful voice. Such a shame he passed at such an early age. I never tire of hearing him play. Miss you, Terry
So true so true. If you haven't completely consumed the 2 album set Chicago Transit Authority you don't understand how good the Chicago I loved was. After number 5 it all came crashing down. Just pure trash after that. Jimi Hendrix even gave Terry his due by commenting on how good he was as a guitar player. Transit Authority proved to be the absolute proof of how good Terry really was on guitar.
Listen closely to the soulful voice of Terry Kath. Brings tears to my eyes when I think his life ended so tragically and way way way too early. A legend sorely missed!!!
Would have loved to see had Kath lasted longer into the 1980s how different Chicago would have sounded. I don't think that 1980s version people know would have occurred had Kath been around. They had a very unique sound that was destroyed once Kath became an early ancestor
Terry Kath, one of the greatest guitarists that ever lived, how I wish he could have lived much longer. He had so much soul in his voice. Nobody could sing Color My World like him!
Please do not forget or discount Danny Seraphine in this conversation. One of the most under rated, under appreciated drummers of all time....my opinion
The musical talent in this band is unmatched. There was never another group that could compete. Today, 7 guys with instruments and great voices is unheard of, especially in live concerts. We should all remember the music and how it made us feel and acknowledge the hard work it required to keep the magic coming. ❤️
Color my world is the most special song in the entire world. You see when the government started pulling troops out of Vietnam I was pcs to the Philippines. I met my wife and on our first date this was the very first song we danced together. We are celebrating our 49th anniversary today and I love her as much as I did 49 years ago.
A remarkable talent! Besides his masterful guitar playing which was om a level that few have ever matched before or after, his voice was that of a white Ray Charles, and that is high praise!
@@grantlee1959 I remember hearing that interview someone put it on You Tube awhile back and it so happens that they were good friends as well so the 2 best guitar players are playing in heaven together
well, there’s been a huge agenda for many decades to dumb down the children who are growing up and just create obedient slaves. Why wouldn’t the music decline as well?
Almost 46 years ago, I was 18 years old and walked down the isle to this song. I was about to marry the man of my dreams. All these years later he still is and every time I hear this song it takes me back to that moment. What a beautiful song and life.
An isle is a small land mass completely surrounded by water. You've been speaking English for well over half a century, yet you can't figure out how to spell aisle.
Michael felicidades de tus 65 me ganas con 5..yo tambien valoro mucho estas bandas iconicas de nuestros tiempos ya no hay buena musica ... que pena ..mejores tiempos cuidate un saludo para ti..
I could watch this over and over and over and over and over and never get tired of it. Terry Kath, you were a genuine, brilliant talent. May you RIP until the loving God of the Heavens makes you whole again.
Permanently haunted by these musicians. I was 21 when this concert was performed and it still binds me under the spell of their sound. Chicago, how grand, very grand you played.
last few minutes, wide angle shot, right to left....Peter Cetera, Danny Seraphine, Terry Kath, Robert Lamm, James Pankow, Walter Parazaider, and Lee Loughnane. My goodness what talent on one stage. The absolute best 7 man band ever. My idols.
Interesting to see how trombone player, James Pankow looks at Kath with such appreciation as he wrote the song. Fortunate to have one of the best guitarists and vocalists leading it.
This live version of Colour my World--and then the end of Make me Smile, is so incredibly beautiful! Terry's soulful voice makes my heart sing! Wooo Hooo!
@@halweiss8671 It's so cool to see the trombone player, James Pankow--who wrote the ballet--watch Terry sing Colour my World. He's as much in awe of his vocals as we are!:)
I find myself coming back to listen and watch this over and over ……with terry and peter on the strings, danny beating the skins, lamm on the keys, and pankow who wrote this masterpiece, the talent of this band at that time was incredible and remarkable, it’s timeless and I’m blessed to have grown up with it.
Most of them were studied, trained musicians. Terry was essentially self taught. He had a phenomenal ear, worked hard, and I think was brilliant. He had a tremedous, rich, soulful voice, and was a fantastic guitarist. Danny Seraphine was a real studied drummer who also could read-- a rare thing for Rock drummers back then. He had speed and wonderful technique... like Bobby Colomby of Blood Sweat and Tears, and Dino Danelli of The Rascals. These guys were real "muti-dimensional" drummers. This is such a fabulous live video!
Yes, he was for the most part self taught, he did take some lessons, what many would call jazz guitar when he was about 17, but I think that lasted for less than two years. Back in the very early 60s he would sometimes play with a band in the basement of a house next to ours. I was very young and would often go over there and go through their basement door and watch them. I do remember they played some Shadows songs and Buddy Holly. Terry would sometimes play the drums. He once put me on the drum throne and gave me a set of sticks and showed me how to hold them and let my play around on them while they were took a break, I was so young that my feet didn't even touch the floor. It's so sad, everyone of them are gone now, Terry of course, one by cancer, one by heart failure, and the last one about 5 years ago by suicide.
Man, whenever I hear Chicago from the 70s I think about when I was a little girl, and hearing their music on the radio all the time. It takes me back to a simpler time. Good times...Terry Kath’s vocals are so deep for a young person
This takes me back to the 70's and listening to the album my brother and I got on our record player. The sound was just amazing then and it still is. I miss growing up in the 70's so much along with missing my brother. Rest in peace big brother.
You are so right about growing up in the 70s. The time was so much fun to be a teen. Peace and love were finally going away and patchouli oil use was cut to a minimum. Thank God for that. The cocaine from South America drug lords changed the world. The cocaine life style of fast and furious destoyed the hippie culture. One exception is the Grateful Dead fans. They are hippies that will never stop being hippies.
@@bigdawg7703 Whatever, I was taught - you don't work,, you don't eat, .. you steal, you go to jail. For a long time. That's how it was in the 70s. /. Not anymore.,.........
This was the song that my sister and her husband danced to at their wedding reception in June 3rd, 1972. They danced to this song on their 25th Wedding Anniversary after I gave them a very moving toast. I had the DJ play, Color My World and they danced like they did in 1972, still in love, Chris & Bob...
Without a doubt this band was way ahead of the times. Terry Kath was amazing singer and as good and even better than most of the guitar players out at that time. And of course the whole band was incredibly talented.
I was a young teen when this song came out. My mother loved it. I can appreciate Terry Kath's soulful, tender side on this slow ballad which shows how deep his emotions registered.
My late cousin Robert turned me into Chicago with his 8 track player we used to love Color My World what a song glad I came of age in the 70s great time to be alive,I miss him and those days.
October 2020, During the pandemic I moved to the beach. I had to go to the city for errands, an aproximately 80 mile drive long, and in the way back home, spotify threw this jewel at me. I had to stop at the side of the road to regroup myself and appreciate the amazing gift life gave me by showing me this music, and Terry for this great performance
Chicago is the band that my husband and I used to go here at concerts. He was a musician and he used to dedicate color My world to me. I lost him January 30th 2016. He was on a ventilator and I had to make the decision to take him off of it. I wrapped my arms around him and told him good bye and while Color My World played. To this day when I am down and sad a song by Chicago comes on. I know He is with me
I WATCHED THE CHICAGO TRIBUTE ON TUBI STREAMING SERVICE AND I'VE ALSO WATCHED THE TRIBUTE BY MICHELLE CASS TERRI'S DAUGHTER TOLD HER DAD AND HER SEARCH FOR HIS STRADDLE TELECASTER WITH THE BLACKHAWKS LABEL ON IT AND THE BEST THING I CAN SAY FOR TERRY CALF IT'S JIMI HENDRIX SET IN THE BACK OF THE WHISKEY A GO GO LISTENING TO EARLY CHICAGO AND TERRY CAST GENIUS AND SAID THAT MF ER IS BETTER THAN ME AND I'LL LET YOU FIGURE OUT WHAT MFER MEANS
@Wanda Abernathy I lost my husband 2 yrs ago I also had to make that decision, being married for 46 yrs I miss him so much. We listen to Chicago also. May you have peace and blessings to you.
Colour My World was the first song I ever slowed danced to !! Thank You Kate for asking me to dance and not taking no for an answer seeings how I had never slowed danced before and Thank You for that awesome kiss you gave me at the end of this beautiful song that was 9th grade !! I have never forgotten that night I hope where ever you are sweetheart your doing great as I have never forgotten you that was 1974 !! ❤️❤️❤️❤️
Thank you Terry for the memories of my childhood... See you on the other side someday. Love, the girl who played the organ to the opening of this song while her dad helped her and sang along...
So much TALENT. You have to go back in time for this. The versatility is off the charts. Still listening in 2019. Glad I was born in 1958, I would have missed the music.
l used to listen to this LP with my girl friend late at night in 1970. ‘Chicago’ came to London to play in ‘73 ? at The Rainbow Finsbury Park. They played this number again ( with a different lady present with me )and l just broke down. The lady said are you alright? Little did she know….memories.
It's July 2020, and Daniel Marin is right, "Chicago was one of the greatest bands of all time". Colour My World / Make Me Smile was such a great track, and that was an absolutely fabulous live performance.
I am 61 years old Afro American super soul sister ❤️💋💋❤️ nobody in all the earth could sing this beautiful song like this beautiful man oh my God his vocals are simply astonishing wow 😮i will always be a fan of the LEGENDARY rock- band CHICAGO until the very ends of times❤❤❤❤❤❤
James...As Terry began his solo of Colour My World, you were holding your horn and looking directly and thoughtfully at Terry. I wonder what was going through your mind. Did you realize what a momentous point in time that was. Everyone was young and at the top of their game. No one could possibly comprehend how soon and suddenly Terry would leave us. It's hard to grasp how much it all means when you're in the moment. Here we are all these years later, and thanks to Chicago on MV and TH-cam, we can all relive that moment in time, and wonder what if...
this brings tears to my eyes. This song is my teen years; my informative years. I dance at my grad to this song. I sang this song at so many of my own concerts as a young cover artist. Terry's death was tragic and makes this song so much more meaningful. He had a great sense of music and emotion when he sang this. I still listen to Chicago to this day. Memories.
Slow dancing hugging music 🎶❤️😀 it's almost my 50th school reunion. Thankyou God for our generation that we may share w other generations to be close to you 🙏♥️
This brings back so many memories of 1974. I was a freshman in high school and was in the choir. Our choir teacher was a MEGA Chicago fan. We'd sing Color My Word every day. I'm 62 and still have all the lyrics in my head. I can't help but sing with this song anytime it comes on. I guess Mrs Ables did her job well...48 years later and still singing it❤️❤️
As you watch them jam it looks like they were playing together for years and this is basically at the infancy of Chicago...shows how great of a collaboration these guys were.
With 3 different vocalists with their own unique vocal qualities, and the horn players, Chicago had a surprisingly versatile palette of sounds to work with. And I'm always forgetting that Walter played flute as well as saxophone.
and Terry played bass and Cetera played guitar and the trumpet player used to play guitar with Terry, one of the horn players took lead vocal in one of their songs, too. They had depth.
I love all 50’s -60’s and all 70’s music it touches your heart and soul !! Colour my world was just beautiful,listening to this gave me a chill that I always get listening to this very special song !!
We were 12 when Colour My World came it and it was one of my best friend's favorite songs from that time on. I can never hear it without thinking of Lisa. RIP Terry, and Chicago was never the same without you. You left us far too soon.
Heard this tonight at the store. I had to come home and listen. Was so happy to find the whole song played. Brought back some great memories. I would love to see you guys. That would just be amazing
+James Tulk Gone too soon. Saw them in concert in '73 & glad I did. IMO their best albums + greatest hits were when Terry was alive...I mean, Colour My World, Make Me Smile, Saturday in the Park, 25 or 6 to 4, Beginnings, etc etc etc...fabulous music. Never could get into Peter Cetera's style, & I agree, they were never the same. JMHO
I was once told by someone close to the group (originally known as the Chicago Transit Authority or CTA) at the time, that the members were all trained Master's level musicians, and that this particular song was the result of an impromptu practice session, and that both the music and the lyrics were extemporized without any music sheet or script. Given the tremendous talent of these musicians, I tend to believe it.
Terry was a street player. Only had a couple of lessons. He quit lessons because he wanted to play bad-as$ rock and roll. And classes would have taken far too long to get there. No doubt a prodigy, he played by ear perfectly. Total phenom.

I mean… no wonder we’re so proud of growing up in the 70’s with bands like this around ♥️
We deserve no pride from the awesome music they made. They deserve that. The band. We only get to feel pride from the stuff that WE have done. We had the glorious advantage of growing up with amazing music like this. But we get no justification for pride. Important technical distinction.
Same for me Teresa. This must have been one of the best concerts of all time. And our generation keeps being young. I dance to Chicago on a daily basis.
For REAL! Just sitting here. Listening. Wish could go back!

Don't stay up all night,

Who is with me....As time goes on we realize that Chicago was one of the greatest bands of all time. It's December 2019...We Still Love Chicago!!
Agreed! I just bought tickets to their current tour, July 2020 Bethel, NY
With terry kath not without
Pure beauty 💘 😭😭😭😭
Gone too soon!!!! I love this song still to this day and its January 7th 2020
As long as Terry Kath was alive they were....what a tragic waste of talent.

You cannot, I repeat, you cannot beat the music from the 70’s.
I was born only in 1982, but I cannot agree more! There was someting in the sound..., in the hearts of the musicians...
Great sound technicians. As well as the band is playing, it's not easy to capture the feeling on tape.
You could say that about the 60's as well.
80s
60s and 80s were good
Terry's guitar skills were so good that we tend to forget that he also had a beautiful soulful voice. Such a shame he passed at such an early age. I never tire of hearing him play. Miss you, Terry
Shouldn't have happened
Just mentioned the same thing about his voice to a friend while listening to this song...
🍻 to Terry !
He had a beautiful voice! He was a very talented man.
What happened to him. I never heard.
This happened exactly 52 years ago and is still amazing.
I was 11 yrs old. Loved music on the radio since I was 6 📻 Lucky to have seen Chicago !!!! ❤ Favorite song to slow dance to.
Such a great "live" version of Colour My World, and now who is listening in 2020/21/22/23/24
/raises hand 😎
Present!!
I am.....8/2/20. My all time FAV song! Married to it!
Blamejor musica hasta este día no la cochinada de regueton
Certainly missing Terry Kath!!!!☹🙁😟
This song was played at every single wedding reception on the planet during the 70's and 80's. I was there. I saw everything.
High School proms too!
So true!
Agreed!
Early Chicago, before they went completely mainstream, is without a doubt, THE most innovative band of the rock era, period.
They were considered “mainstream”. They were called “The Frank Sinatras of Rock ‘n’ Roll” at the time, and they are at Tanglewood.
Jimi Hendrix was a big time fan of Terry Kath. Chicago also toured with him & was open to collaborting.
So true so true. If you haven't completely consumed the 2 album set Chicago Transit Authority you don't understand how good the Chicago I loved was. After number 5 it all came crashing down. Just pure trash after that. Jimi Hendrix even gave Terry his due by commenting on how good he was as a guitar player.

You’re right!
Not underappreciated by knowledgeable music fans.
right....but totally f'd up his life with drugs............
100% correct. He is awesome. And i am a drummer for over ,50 years. He's damn good
Got married to this song. Beautiful slow dance for my wife and I. We sang it together and looked into each others eyes

im now 69, thanks to the internet for catching up with their live performance that i thought would never happen to watch!
Wow..I'm 62 years old and forgot how much I loved this song. Haven't heard it in since I was 13 years old.
The flute in Colour my world is very well and tenderly played. And Terry's voice is simply wonderful.
Learned this flute part when I was 13 in 1970 to play at my parents friends daughters wedding. 😎
This was our wedding song August 1979. It brings the tears every time i hear it especially since she has passed. She loved this song.
God bless you❤️🩹💕🙏
🥺
Today marks the 45th anniversary of Terry’s death. What a loss! He will be forever missed❣️
wow, didn't know that. Terry is the most underrated guitar player there ever was.
He was a Bad ass , what a beast
It’s so sad and he was the best guitar player in history.
What a voice...What a man......What a sound......WHAT A BAND!!!!!
Interesting to see how trombone player, James Pankow looks at Kath with such appreciation as he wrote the song. Fortunate to have one of the best guitarists and vocalists leading it.
Just look at that incredible lineup of Talent!!
Un freaking believable !!!
Thank goodness during my generation!

I had this played at my wedding in June 12th 1976 . Even though my husband has passed away will always be my favorite 💞💞
Beautiful ❤️
So sorry for the loss of your husband.
It's almost not fair that someone could be such a great guitar player & have that good of a voice too. Truly astounding
Prince as well

I wish Terry would have sang the whole im a man song
they were a talented group
Too bad he couldn't count.
Most of them were studied, trained musicians. Terry was essentially self taught. He had a phenomenal ear, worked hard, and I think was brilliant. He had a tremedous, rich, soulful voice, and was a fantastic guitarist. Danny Seraphine was a real studied drummer who also could read-- a rare thing for Rock drummers back then. He had speed and wonderful technique... like Bobby Colomby of Blood Sweat and Tears, and Dino Danelli of The Rascals. These guys were real "muti-dimensional" drummers. This is such a fabulous live video!
Yes, he was for the most part self taught, he did take some lessons, what many would call jazz guitar when he was about 17, but I think that lasted for less than two years. Back in the very early 60s he would sometimes play with a band in the basement of a house next to ours. I was very young and would often go over there and go through their basement door and watch them. I do remember they played some Shadows songs and Buddy Holly. Terry would sometimes play the drums. He once put me on the drum throne and gave me a set of sticks and showed me how to hold them and let my play around on them while they were took a break, I was so young that my feet didn't even touch the floor. It's so sad, everyone of them are gone now, Terry of course, one by cancer, one by heart failure, and the last one about 5 years ago by suicide.
Man, whenever I hear Chicago from the 70s I think about when I was a little girl, and hearing their music on the radio all the time. It takes me back to a simpler time. Good times...Terry Kath’s vocals are so deep for a young person
This takes me back to the 70's and listening to the album my brother and I got on our record player. The sound was just amazing then and it still is. I miss growing up in the 70's so much along with missing my brother. Rest in peace big brother.
Sorry for your loss
@@lonidelahuerta3439 thank you.
You are so right about growing up in the 70s. The time was so much fun to be a teen. Peace and love were finally going away and patchouli oil use was cut to a minimum. Thank God for that. The cocaine from South America drug lords changed the world. The cocaine life style of fast and furious destoyed the hippie culture. One exception is the Grateful Dead fans. They are hippies that will never stop being hippies.
@@bigdawg7703 you are absolutely right.
@@bigdawg7703 Whatever, I was taught - you don't work,, you don't eat, .. you steal, you go to jail. For a long time. That's how it was in the 70s. /. Not anymore.,.........
Listening to this song in 2022 love Chicago and always will. Great group of talented musicians!
Can’t agree with you more! You are so right, Dawn!
Chicago at it's best ! Terry Kath really drives this 1! Excellent
This was the song that my sister and her husband danced to at their wedding reception in June 3rd, 1972. They danced to this song on their 25th Wedding Anniversary after I gave them a very moving toast. I had the DJ play, Color My World and they danced like they did in 1972, still in love, Chris & Bob...
I was married Friday June 2, 1972 - 1 day before. Was married 7 years before it ended. Now married 37 years to the "love of my life".
Look at James looking at Terry as he sings his song .. these guys, this was a brotherhood .. a brotherhood of musicians ..
Our senior year Prom,1973 when my girlfriend was the prom Queen, and we had the whole dance floor to ourselves. Great memories!
Should have mentioned that "Color my World ", was our Theme song !
Without a doubt this band was way ahead of the times. Terry Kath was amazing singer and as good and even better than most of the guitar players out at that time. And of course the whole band was incredibly talented.
Listening to Terry sing this makes we cry. What a voice!!!!
Music will NEVER be this good again. This is the most incredible show I have ever seen, and I’m not kidding. Mind blowing music and playing. OMG!
I just don’t know how there could be a band any better than Chicago
I was a young teen when this song came out. My mother loved it. I can appreciate Terry Kath's soulful, tender side on this slow ballad which shows how deep his emotions registered.
My late cousin Robert turned me into Chicago with his 8 track player we used to love Color My World what a song glad I came of age in the 70s great time to be alive,I miss him and those days.
Terry was only 22 here. RIP my brother.

One of the greatest guitarists of all time shame he doesn't get the credit he deserves !
So 😢 sad. Terry gone too soon😢

October 2020, During the pandemic I moved to the beach. I had to go to the city for errands, an aproximately 80 mile drive long, and in the way back home, spotify threw this jewel at me. I had to stop at the side of the road to regroup myself and appreciate the amazing gift life gave me by showing me this music, and Terry for this great performance
Im 41 and my daddy is sharing this and more good bands. The Beatles and their kid's. And this band is rocking
Saw them live in 1970 at Winterland in San Francisco and I'm still listening to them today, Tuesday, 2-22-22!
I’m 69, still here listening to them. So many memories.
I'm turning 70 this Dec but listening still the Chicago band
A band with great musicians, probably the greatest guitarist of all time, and 3 lead singers, no wonder they had so many hits!
Chicago is the band that my husband and I used to go here at concerts. He was a musician and he used to dedicate color My world to me. I lost him January 30th 2016. He was on a ventilator and I had to make the decision to take him off of it. I wrapped my arms around him and told him good bye and while Color My World played. To this day when I am down and sad a song by Chicago comes on. I know He is with me
For sure. I play & watch videos, of my Dad's favorite music & Country Music of the 50s 60s 70s 80s & 90s. I feel his spirit with me.
I WATCHED THE CHICAGO TRIBUTE ON TUBI STREAMING SERVICE AND I'VE ALSO WATCHED THE TRIBUTE BY MICHELLE CASS TERRI'S DAUGHTER TOLD HER DAD AND HER SEARCH FOR HIS STRADDLE TELECASTER WITH THE BLACKHAWKS LABEL ON IT AND THE BEST THING I CAN SAY FOR TERRY CALF IT'S JIMI HENDRIX SET IN THE BACK OF THE WHISKEY A GO GO LISTENING TO EARLY CHICAGO AND TERRY CAST GENIUS AND SAID THAT MF ER IS BETTER THAN ME AND I'LL LET YOU FIGURE OUT WHAT MFER MEANS
@Wanda Abernathy I lost my husband 2 yrs ago I also had to make that decision, being married for 46 yrs I miss him so much. We listen to Chicago also. May you have peace and blessings to you.
Jimmy Pankow who wrote this beautiful song is standing there with his trombone just mesmerized by Terry's beautiful voice...❤❤❤
Kath was so bad ass. He could kill it with razor sharp guitar play and then construct and sing this sort of ballad. What a great pop artist.
for real, one of the best singer/guitarists of all time
Damn right. Another great one gone too soon.
Totally not true. I did Google it.
+Richard Simon actually it is true.. You may have to dig deeper but I have read that on several occasions..
It is true. Hendrix told the band Kath was a better guitar player than he was!
Omg, that Terry Kath..so talented but not recognition, I feel. he's sadly missed still.
Diane Bays excellent doc on AXS TV “ SEARCHING for Terry Kath. IM SURE YOUVE SEEN IT IF YOUre a Chicago fan. a If not, I highly recommend🎼
@@kimberlymann9228 "CHICAGO: THE TERRY KATH EXPERIENCE" on Amazon Prime. If you can do yourself a favor and watch it.
@Steve KlemettiWorried about the wrong thing
Colour My World was the first song I ever slowed danced to !! Thank You Kate for asking me to dance and not taking no for an answer seeings how I had never slowed danced before and Thank You for that awesome kiss you gave me at the end of this beautiful song that was 9th grade !! I have never forgotten that night I hope where ever you are sweetheart your doing great as I have never forgotten you that was 1974 !! ❤️❤️❤️❤️
Thank you Terry for the memories of my childhood... See you on the other side someday. Love, the girl who played the organ to the opening of this song while her dad helped her and sang along...
So much TALENT. You have to go back in time for this. The versatility is off the charts. Still listening in 2019. Glad I was born in 1958, I would have missed the music.
I'm 65 and I slow danced probably
over 100 times to this, yesterday it came on the radio and all those
young teenage memories came
back.
Remember me cutting in on ya
l used to listen to this LP with my girl friend late at night in 1970. ‘Chicago’ came to London to play in ‘73 ? at The Rainbow Finsbury Park. They played this number again ( with a different lady present with me )and l just broke down. The lady said are you alright? Little did she know….memories.
I’ll never get tired of this song it was our wedding song thank you Chicago great band
It's July 2020, and Daniel Marin is right, "Chicago was one of the greatest bands of all time". Colour My World / Make Me Smile was such a great track, and that was an absolutely fabulous live performance.
And this was their peak membership time.
You got that right!!! FANTASTIC
Fifty years later yhis is still a beautiful song.
They don't make music like this anymore
😎
Absolutely
Susan F They SURE don’t
sad but true
No, I agree. I can listen to this many many times and I get goose bumps even on my legs.
I’m still listening! I’ve loved these guys since I was a little kid growing up in Chicago.
I am 61 years old Afro American super soul sister ❤️💋💋❤️ nobody in all the earth could sing this beautiful song like this beautiful man oh my God his vocals are simply astonishing wow 😮i will always be a fan of the LEGENDARY rock- band CHICAGO until the very ends of times❤❤❤❤❤❤
James...As Terry began his solo of Colour My World, you were holding your horn and looking directly and thoughtfully at Terry. I wonder what was going through your mind. Did you realize what a momentous point in time that was. Everyone was young and at the top of their game. No one could possibly comprehend how soon and suddenly Terry would leave us. It's hard to grasp how much it all means when you're in the moment. Here we are all these years later, and thanks to Chicago on MV and TH-cam, we can all relive that moment in time, and wonder what if...
this brings tears to my eyes. This song is my teen years; my informative years. I dance at my grad to this song. I sang this song at so many of my own concerts as a young cover artist. Terry's death was tragic and makes this song so much more meaningful. He had a great sense of music and emotion when he sang this. I still listen to Chicago to this day. Memories.
Chicago was simply THE BEST! Consummate Musicians that made gold when they recorded. They made magic for us all.
Grew up I Chicago listing to this band. This is my childhood in music. So blessed.
Man I just miss this time of music and not the social media bullshit. You just loved the music
Slow dancing hugging music 🎶❤️😀 it's almost my 50th school reunion. Thankyou God for our generation that we may share w other generations to be close to you 🙏♥️
This song has aged like fine wine.
This was my father favorite song and on their 50th wedding anniversary he dedicated this song to her
This brings back so many memories of 1974. I was a freshman in high school and was in the choir. Our choir teacher was a MEGA Chicago fan. We'd sing Color My Word every day. I'm 62 and still have all the lyrics in my head. I can't help but sing with this song anytime it comes on. I guess Mrs Ables did her job well...48 years later and still singing it❤️❤️
As you watch them jam it looks like they were playing together for years and this is basically at the infancy of Chicago...shows how great of a collaboration these guys were.
When the mix is right...hot damn...
Never knew that MR.KATH did the vocals on color my world. but nothing he did surprise s me He was the whole package!!
With 3 different vocalists with their own unique vocal qualities, and the horn players, Chicago had a surprisingly versatile palette of sounds to work with. And I'm always forgetting that Walter played flute as well as saxophone.
flute and sax are keyed the same. you play one, and you can also play the other.
As a woodwind player, Walter probably also played clarinet, no? There's a clarinet part in "Harry Truman" that I figured was him.
Your right. I like a band in which lead vocals are shared. Makes everything more interesting.
lindsey lefrois when the vocals are this Strong... Yes!!!
and Terry played bass and Cetera played guitar and the trumpet player used to play guitar with Terry, one of the horn players took lead vocal in one of their songs, too. They had depth.
This was my very 1st concert, in 1976. I'm 62
Now and still feel the same
Way when i hear thier music.
The most brave manly blues jazz rock song of all time! Terry Kath what a manly voice!!!!
Peter Cetera on bass? are you kidding me?
Musicianship in this band is excellent!
WOW, this song is going way back for me,l was a 6th grader leaving elementary school our last little dance. l ❤❤❤ early and late 70s music.The best.
I love all 50’s -60’s and all 70’s music it touches your heart and soul !! Colour my world was just beautiful,listening to this gave me a chill that I always get listening to this very special song !!
Loved Terry in this concert, he was the heart of the band.
Donetta Scroggins so right but most of the times after someones dead you realize how good a singer or someone from the band was!
A beautiful song. Terry Kath passed on but he lives on in love and left us this beautiful love song.
We were 12 when Colour My World came it and it was one of my best friend's favorite songs from that time on. I can never hear it without thinking of Lisa. RIP Terry, and Chicago was never the same without you. You left us far too soon.
Colour My World sung by Terry Kath , just an amazing time for us all !
This song tears me up !!! I wonder why it hits me this strongly ? I really do .
Heard this tonight at the store. I had to come home and listen. Was so happy to find the whole song played. Brought back some great memories. I would love to see you guys. That would just be amazing
Terry was one the greatest ever. Chicago were never the same after his death.
+James Tulk You are right. NEVER.
+James Tulk After Terry Kath, Chicago it hs become a kind of american version of Air Supply.
+James Tulk Gone too soon. Saw them in concert in '73 & glad I did. IMO their best albums + greatest hits were when Terry was alive...I mean, Colour My World, Make Me Smile, Saturday in the Park, 25 or 6 to 4, Beginnings, etc etc etc...fabulous music. Never could get into Peter Cetera's style, & I agree, they were never the same. JMHO
May he rest in peace.
I like Peter! I am glad they went on after Terry's death. I'm sure he would have wanted that. May he rest in peace.
I was once told by someone close to the group (originally known as the Chicago Transit Authority or CTA) at the time, that the members were all trained Master's level musicians, and that this particular song was the result of an impromptu practice session, and that both the music and the lyrics were extemporized without any music sheet or script. Given the tremendous talent of these musicians, I tend to believe it.
I think Terry was the only one who wasn't trained. He was self taught.
Terry was a street player. Only had a couple of lessons. He quit lessons because he wanted to play bad-as$ rock and roll. And classes would have taken far too long to get there. No doubt a prodigy, he played by ear perfectly. Total phenom.
yup, the others went to the same college as one of my Sons, DePaul, Lincoln Park, Chicago.
