If You Leave Me Now - Chicago (Live)

But for all their effort, none of their singles went to number one until Chicago X in 1976, when Cetera's slow, exquisite ballad "If You Leave Me Now" climbed to the top of the charts and remained there for two weeks. The song also won Chicago their only Grammy award, for Best Pop Performance by a Duo or Group in 1977. Ironically, the tune almost did not make the cut for the album; "If You Leave Me Now" was recorded at the very last minute. The huge success of the song would foreshadow a later reliance on ballads that would typecast the group on radio, despite the presence of mellower songs on all the previous albums. The group's 1977 release, Chicago XI, was another big success for the band; it included Cetera's hit ballad "Baby, What a Big Surprise", a #4 U.S. hit which became one of the group's last big hits of the decade.

Keith howland foi um dos melhores vocalista dessa banda depois que piter Cetera será que tem algum brasileiro de bom gosto que curtiu e curte isso até hoje .

[@manueljesussalazarromero8213]

Seguramente hay mas pero aca hay un Peruano que le sigue gustando las maravillosas canciones de los 70 80 90 saludos desde Lima Peru bendiciones.

[@cerebrynueby9668]

no soy brasileño pero me encanta keith Howland como canta.

[@jimfladwood4393]

Best band of all time! Over fifty years and still love the true meaning of music.

[@hermanseguiluz61]

Cada cantante tiene lo suyo ... El actual NO desentona ...x un momento,hace olvidar al original. NO se puede negar q tmb tiene un tono de voz sentimental, nostálgica , q conecta con el público exigente.

[@larryvermeer6170]

I still love this song even in July of 2024

Wow it’s so great to see what Keith contributed to the band, not just in playing great guitar but with his voice simultaneously! He will be missed

[@simoneferreiraferreira7994]

O que aconteceu com ele ?

[@Arema00]

keith is great guitarist & singer, also loyal to Chicago over 20 years, from my town Silver Spring MD :)

Pretty good but sorry not even close to Peter Cetera

[@alankluttz4400]

Chicago Definitely doesn't sound the same without Peter Cetera. It's like the difference in Journey without Steve Perry. Still Good but just not the same.

[@cerebrynueby9668]

vaya a buscarlo y dígale que se sume a la banda 🤦🤷

[@Tommy1977777]

im not ashamed to admit that this song is the cause of my being born.

[@dmdamren]

Pete Cetera is gone. Get over it. Way up here in the boonies of the northeastern U.S., we've had the opportunity to see Chicago 4 times in recent years. The current band members take turns singing the leads of many different songs. This is a TERRIFIC performance by Keith of a truly classic song.

[@cerebrynueby9668]

exactamente muy buena interpretación, cada uno tiene los suyo.

[@tuttlemsm]

I'm not crazy about Keith on this, but Jason's bassing is so much more fluid when he can focus on it.

[@brothertruth627]

Nobody can fill Peters shoes but good job anyway.

[@CarmensDolls]

I like this one better anyways, been part of the group for long time, says something.

[@cerebrynueby9668]

Peter Cetera

[@geraldagregorio8900]

[@waltersimmons946]

@Maria Oliveira Nope Peter Cetera left Chicago in 1985. Peter Cetera has never wanted or even attempted to return to Chicago. Peter Cetera retired for good from music in 2019. He's 78 yrs.old

I LIKE IT BETTER THAN PETERS VERSION.

[@waltersimmons946]

It's Peter's song regardless. (1) Peters voice took it to number in 1976 (2) In 1977 because of Peter, this song 🎵 was the only one that brought Chicago a Grammy (3) Peter wrote this song himself. Sorry, but Peter Cetera is the man now and forever . Wannabes can't touch this.

[@bettyrocco3021]

Me tooooo

[@waltersimmons946]

@bettyrocco3021 Peter's retired. He could care less. Keith Howland is a good singer and guitar player. But never had any hits of his own ever.
