Rap didn't replace anything...we never stopped listening to this!

[@user-pj3yd2po9j]

how did Rap replace this??? no no no no not dising all rap but its been going on longer than it should have. . . really miss the horns and Big PIPEs!!! AWESOME!!! the world need more of this!! there were so many great bands

[@fostermac7170]

Agreed.

[@cathieworthington2112]

FOR SURE! Saw Chicago in the late 70's, SOOOOOO good!

[@philjohns3533]

The reason this music was replaced by rap music...both long standing country music and rap music does not require a a select singing voice and instruments were replaced with contemporary music technology resulting in fewer musical instrument lessons, the technology has spawn a new generation of performers and their artistic product is consumed by > 95% of the buying population that raps along instead of singing horribly in the shower...

Chicago with EWF, the cool thing that the bands' styles matched because they were either similar or even the same, it was for these two bands to have worked more together, a beautiful day that the world of music, cinema, the art of photography has creative and magical days like this all over the world. May this show inspire and burn the fire ❤️‍🔥🔥 sacred music of excellence in bands all over the world for quality music, no more listening to nonsense, mauic suicide songs, rubbish stoner songs, the world needs civilizing music music for education music to live and live better on this planet with animals, nature and others as well. 🔥♾️🕊️💙💎🥂⭐🍾🍾👏😊🎶💜🫂🎷🎸💖💋💋💋💋🌷💓🌺🌹😍

[@bikinisforwahinis8111]

Look up on YT 25/6/4 Live at Tanglewood 1970 where Danny Seraphine is fumbling with drum kit while Terry starts the intro. One of great guitar performances of all time . Terry was an absolute monster on guitar and had a fine voice too. Too bad that after Terry’s untimely passing in Jan 1978 that Chicago lost direction under the tutelage of Peter Cetera and David Foster ( yuk) and got “ soft.” The post 1978 Chicago is mostly elevator music and sappy love songs. The 1970 Chicago absolutely rocked. Terry Kath was and is missed.
