Chicago The Band "Hard Habit To Break" 1992

[@elena2426]

I'm a 63 year old Black woman who was born in 1960 and I have loved Chicago songs since I was a teenager. These White boys have so much soul and their harmony and not to mention their good looks! I still play their music because it takes me back to the best years of my life when the world was still a safe place and when bands actually made GOOD MUSIC! I LOVE CHICAGO SO MUCH ❤! God bless these guys!

[@candiekane12]

Same here. I'm 64 and have always loved Chicago. My mom will be 82 on the 27th this month and she loves Chicago too.

[@TCthaCrisis]

You don't sound black. You sound like someone trying to sound like what they think someone black sounds like. We don't talk like that. Especially at 60+. These guys are classic. Just leave it at that whoever you are

[@waltersimmons946]

@@TCthaCrisis No-one can "sound black " because you can't hear a text message. Get a clue man 🥴

​@TCthaCrisis I can appreciate your opion. It's good to hear other people's perspectives. I might learn something from it.

Peter Cetera and Bill Champlin 👌 best version. This live version is more rock.

Who is listening to this song in 2024? Those horns..wow.One of my favourite songs.

[@itiswhatitaintanditaintwha1427]

[@doddy_bj_miko]

Cetera-Champlin is a magical duet.. Champlin-Scheff is a top class duet on their own right too..

[@mikestevenson576]

In the chorus it sounds like they're singing about Cetera.

The recorded version of this, is probably the best arrangement I HAVE EVER HEARD...OF ANY BAND ....EVER!!!!

I agree. Been listening since CTA.

[@williamfuller2389]

​@FLadd2024 Same here. Still have vinyls of their first 5 albums. Seen them live over the years, maybe 5-6 times. Awesome to hear us old farts sign along with the lyrics! Old school here!

The best version of "Hard Habit To Break," and perfect combo from Jason, Bill and Dawayne. It's absolutely extraordinary....

All these guys are musical maestros, who make this multi-faceted complex song look easy.. Incredible !!!!!!!

Almost as great as the original. This song is platinum! I grew up in Chicagoland and they rocked the ‘70s. They were every Chicagoan’s favorite band. ❤❤❤❤

Jason Scheff has been with the band since '86. 30 years. Twice as long as Cetera if you want to go that route. Peter was awesome but he went solo and did very well. Get over the "new" singer.

[@jrock2264]

And now he's gone, too...

Awesome Song, Jason had to fill some big shoes stepping in for Peter Cetera, and the addition of Bill Champlin was a stroke of genius. All around great musician. I liked this iteration of the band.

[@brandonferguson9559]

Damn near impossible to hit the notes Cetera abrought to the table. It's unrealistic to expect anyone to be able to sing like they did. It's like journey without Steve Perry just not the same.

[@joshuavittoriom.garong4254]

Peter Cetera was a member of Chicago since 1967 to 1985. Jason Scheff is the new guy who was a Chicago member since 1985 to 2016. When Peter Cetera left Chicago, he became a solo artist.

[@Kalivath]

Lol the new guy he was in chicago since 86 what's that over 30 years ool

[@moodylicious]

@@joshuavittoriom.garong4254 just like Terry Kath, only there from '67-8 to 1978, ten years. The band played on still into the present and people are STILL moaning about the late TK. He left eons ago. Peter left eons ago. Dawayne Bailey was phenomenal for this band, who could appear stodgy w/o an injection of something fresh and new. Bill Champlin and Bailey enlivened Chicago during their entire tenure. That cannot be denied. Jason did admirably well, considering. Truth is Lamm is a hypocrite, making announcements before tours, 'there will be us only standing in line and singing, no dancing'. Of course that was a shot at Dawayne who had such charisma and magnetism to steal the show with his physicality and showmanship. Yet Robert was fine with ole swivel hips Pankow, dancing, gyrating and hopping across the entire stage like a wanna-be Broadway dancer. I get so tired of listening to the lies and jabs at former band members (Peter, Bill, Dawayne) by Jimmy, Walt and Lamm . Really have little respect for those guys; they fall far short of men of integrity.

[@waltersimmons946]

This song wasn't written by any member of Chicago. It was written by Steve Kipner and John Lewis Parker. Kipner came to America in 1974 with Liverpool England born musician Peter Beckett and Co wrote a few songs with Beckett on a debut album PLAYER (1977) except this song 👉 Yes, singer Peter Beckett and J.C Crowley wrote BABY COME BACK #1 on Billboard in January 1978 Player also included Ronn Moss on bass , yep the guy that played ex Ridge Forrester on Bold and the Beautiful and drummer John Frieson. Kipner was not in the band.

Jason--and his hair--always make me smile (no pun intended). Glad this video is here, as I saw them for the first time in '92, for my first concert ever, and it was for my 14th birthday (I'd begged to go for years, but my silly parents said I was too young. I think they also hoped I'd grow out of wanting to see them so badly. Obviously, I was the youngest one there). Well, they stated singing this song, and I promptly began crying, and don't remember any of the experience hearing my all time favorite song live for the first time ever. I'd like to think it was performed the same way at Walnut Creek that same year.
