Program Notes

This is on of the group Chicago’s most popular ballads, still doing great after beeing recorded in 1972 on their fifth album. Chicago’s main songsriter, Robert Lamm, wrote this after a particulary exhilarating 4th of July spen in New York’s Central Park, where there were steel drum players, singers, dancers and jugglers. This was originally used as a soundtrack to an unreleased home video. It became the group’s first gold single.
