That song absolutely takes me back to a time, when music was pure, and real. Chicago was the bees knees, and Does Anybody Really Know What Time It Is, absolutely blew me away, l love the jazz, and soul vibes, of it. It didn't matter what color you were, that song just touched you. I'm in my 70's, and black, and when I hear it, it brings back memories of a nostalgic, and happier time, in America.💯❣️

[@TJKillip]

I stumbled onto a video with the drummer discussing the untimely death of Terry Kath. Until now I didn't even know his name or recognize that he's one of the amazing recognizable voices of Chicago, along with Cetera. I knew of their music and liked it but was into so many types of music(Country Rock, metal, jazz fusion,etc.)I took them for granted-not any more.

[@antonnym214]

Terry Kath is my favorite vocalist, overall but this song really benefits from Lamm's performance. His voice goes perfectly with this upbeat tone. And he wrote it. Good job!

[@raganwald]

Like “Oliver’ Army” by Elvis Costello, part of the song’s power is the contrast between the upbeat nature of the song and what the lyrics are talking about. In this case... How normal everything seems in America while a generation of young men were being shipped out to fight and die in proxy wars.

[@Randy.E.R]

Like anyone else, I agree the band was never really the same after Kath died. But that didn't completely wipe them out. Dave Foster killed Chicago in the 80s and 90s. Foster wanted to toss the the horn section and turn them into a cookie cutter soundtrack band. Sure the music sold but it was to a different audience. The original fan base lost all respect for them. I am happy to see they are still touring and working from their catalog of songs which made them famous in the first place. Yes, there are a lot of new faces in the band, but they sound good enough.

Amazing band. My favorite band growing up as a young teenager. Saw Chicago live three times in the 1970s. I share the same birthday as Terry Kath January 31 and he was my favorite in the band and then I liked Robert Lamm second. I love them all and I loved the brass and I just love the sound and I bought all of their albums and I was devastated the morning I woke up and came downstairs to the kitchen and the news was on the TV that Terry Kath had died by an accidental shooting and I was just in complete total shock and so sad and I cried. Watching these videos of them live brings back memories because that’s how they looked when I saw them in 1973 and 1974 and 1975. I’ve watched a lot of videos of Danny and James and Peter being interviewed. It’s great to watch those videos and some are just audio but the guys shared so much about the band from the very beginning and all the things that happened with the band. Now I’m going to look and see if the other four guys did any interviews that I can find. Just great memories of when life was great in the 1970s and I went to so many concerts at the Boston Garden and at the Music Hall in Boston and Schaefer Stadium in Foxboro. I wish I could have those days back when life was great.

[@karenscigliano9787]

I can relate...I was a senior in hs - Schurz - grew up near these guys but they were older and worldwide famous but still would always be neighborhood guys. Losing Terry that day in January- that way- almost put me over...held out and graduated and felt free again. Never ceases to hurt, though whenever I watch these old tapes on youtube. They were The Best.

When I was in grade school back in the late 60's/early 70's I always had my little transistor AM radio tuned to "93 KHJ... Los Angeles". Chicago was in constant rotation. I had no idea what they _looked_ like, but with their relatively intricate song arrangements, thoughtful lyrics and soulful voices I was certain they were all old enough to be grandfathers. This is a shock to see how young they all really were! Old souls apparently... amazing band.
