Chicago with Al Green

Footage from a 70's chicago TV special

[@CavsBrownsFan]

The original members of Chicago with Al Green. It doesn't get much better than that.

[@shawnbruce6934]

It Doesn't.

[@gilbertbronsal3007]

Amen.

[@anthonywing-man1450]

I’ve been listening to this over and over for a littler over an hour. I got this big OH Yea Kool-aid smile on my face. I’m in awe

[@homoerectus744]

What about Chicago and..... Earth Wind and Fire !!!!

[@peacemaker599]

I just love how Chicago was in awe of Al & I believe they were like we can't believe we are playing music with Al Green!!!! wonderful just wonderful

[@victorjohnston1529]

Peter Cetra seemed to have taken some vocal styling from this in his future recordings.

[@frederickballentine6558]

Totally agree ❤

[@ls-wv8dy]

Yes how wonderful. At a time that many black entertainers ability was questioned by some silly people. I love Al Green and I love Chicago

[@andygibb1977]

Al Green is one of the top greatest singers of all time. Nobody can sing like him.

[@mooshimooshi6456]

I was actually there in the studio that day. It was something i will never forget

[@jjgoldie]

Mooshi Mooshi then you are a lucky man 🕺🎼

[@jamjr5132]

That must have been something to see what a memory to have!!

[@derekboudreaux3931]

That must have been extremely awesome

[@KBB4eva]

Wow! You were there ? How?

[@jamesgale2486]

This was in Colorado at Caribou Ranch. So glad you were there.

[@SonicX6400]

Al Green can work a song. He has the God given talent to twist, turn a song and make it sound brand new. Love me some Al Green and Chicago.

[@1ofthedrews]

Absolute proof that Chicago could hang with anyone in their day. Wonderful day discovering this gift.

[@floatsting20]

Al Green out front of 1 of the greatest bands ever assembled

[@jasonhardison7103]

Marc Sawatzki if icould give your comment more thumbs I would

[@jasonhardison7103]

Just gives you chills woooo he can sing his ass off

[@ginalewis3396]

1ofthedrews Al sounds so good, Would have better if he had his original band members.

[@tribeofjuda]

not really. Chicago was flawless. Man, that was good music right there. Didn't think Chicago could pull that off, but they were absolutely sensational. Perfecto.

[@terrancerandolph8733]

Sweet Soul. That Chicago horn section is on point!

[@blakeharris8986]

I wanna see Al green in concert so bad

[@mercyworks2]

I love my generation! Black and white together!

[@MrCarltonjsmith]

The bass players is killing it!! He's making it extra funky!!!

[@aubreytaylor7942]

That's Peter Cetera on bass

[@knightd12]

@@aubreytaylor7942 He made the song!

[@welchsa]

The looks on Chicagos faces is priceless. It doesn't get much better than this. What a great sound! It looks live...but I would think they'd all be wearing headphones - otherwise the instruments would bleed into Al's mic. Anyway, who cares - this vid has made my day! Thanks for posting!!

[@thomasbowen8775]

It just does not get any better. Besides the performance it's nice to see the Chicago boys smiling and grooving.

[@nietsnebur]

+Thomas Bowen No sir!

[@sandymuddy5766]

This was remarkable collaboration! These Boys knew they had greatness at the mic! Just look at their faces‼️the one and only Soulman ❤

[@crowtein6104]

One of my favorite R&B songs! Al Green is the shit!

[@louhightower4141]

You never know. I had never put Al Green and Chicago together. However here they are making great music!!! Love this!!

[@CJS486]

Bass line is killing!!!

[@Fakename70]

CARLTON J. SMITH Peter Cetera

[@hotgoalie11565]

Peter Cetera was such a good bass player.

[@stevendennis94]

That voice fit perfect with chicago...priceless

[@stevez11]

Doesn't get any better then this!!!!!!!!!!!

[@Odawg96]

Wow! I never knew this existed! Al Green at his peak (before the grits), and Chicago near their peak (before Terry Kath's death and WAY before David Fostered neutered the surviving members). These days people thing it's a treat getting to see that CeeLo Greene, Christina Aguilera, Adam what's-his-name, and the other guy perform on "the voice." They just don't know any better!! They don't have a clue what they missed out on.

[@michellebabicz2143]

Dead-on, mate!

[@kannwiddis]

I remember watching this special. Chicago was my band. And Al Green, good Lord. None better!

[@shawnbruce6934]

Al Green Smooth as Silk and Chicago Sweet as Sugar! A Perfect Song here! You won't here this being created today..so Enjoy!

[@CTAforeverPC]

Peter Cetera is the reason I play a P-bass today!!!! that blond blue-eyed boy can groove...I am just sad that there are not more clips that focus on his playing....he plays so effortlessly....I could listen to his bass lines all day

[@themisianos]

Terry could not.

[@KBB4eva]

His playing with Chicago was the best the same way McCartney is best playing with the Beatles

[@victorjohnston1529]

@@themisianos: Kath could play bass with the best. Listen to his bass work on the Electra Glide in Blue Soundtrack.

[@zgfit]

Peter Cetera was an amazing Bass player. Saw him in person & it was Amazing!!!!

[@jessewett]

Genuine. Real musicians, and the funkiest singer around. A priceless clip.

[@CTAforeverPC]

Whooooooo---weeeeeee!!!!....I've just become an Al Green fan!!!!!...The cat is super-ssmmoooth....I've never heard of Al until now...but this song must have played many times on my parents FM station...I'm sure I've heard this before..They had this bad-ass Zenith stereo in this wood cabinet with the speakers that took up a whole wall of our living room....my favorite thing when I was 7..was lying on the living carpet in the dark with the stereo on and listening to all the now-classics...HEAVENLY

[@bkswanson2461]

just really love this!! Al + Chicago= Perfection !!!!!

[@vf114doc]

pure talent from real artist. bravo to Chicago for rocking it and Brother Al for bringing it.

[@MrLewis91120]

[@Blues1986]

Pure excitement in Terry's eyes 😢 rip to the greatest guitar player ever

[@DebDellaPiana]

This is Chicago Version 1.0 with Terry Kath. After his death and when Peter Cetera took over, they were not even close. No edge. LOVE THIS.

[@zgfit]

Blah blah blah blah. So tired of this BS!

[@kimberlyhoward4940]

2 GREAT ACTS TOGETHER... OMG IM MELTING

[@jrfunkenstein1]

[@miles581]

The band members of Chicago look as amazed as all of us at what comes out of Al's mouth! This was MUSIC!

[@davidharvey8189]

My friends KC Conner ,Ralph Anderson and James Dantzler and I watched this and were so floored the by the way Al brings the volume down as he sits and then rises from his seat as it gets louder , physically conducting the band . All the guys knew their parts so well. Magic .

[@EshockT]

At the Caribou Ranch in Nederland, CO. Wish this place never caught on fire. What a legendary studio.

[@charleswilliams8248]

The mutual respect of these two musical icons is simply beautiful!

[@anneschreck5136]

I've come back to watch this SO many times. Two of my very favorites together - you can't beat that.

Al Green and Chicago! This is my Christmas present video post for 2006! I'm not tired of being alone listening to this song!

[@ArnoldArchives]

Listen to the smooth groove that Danny, Peter, and Terry lay down here. This version definitely tops Al's hit solo recording. The horns add so much, as usual. Awesome R&B bass playing by Cetera.

[@tomstonecypher9142]

I like how the reverb kicks in during the "one, two, one two three four..."
