2This song is unfairly lumped in with the likes of "Afternoon Delight" and
"Billy Don't Be A Hero" as one of the icons of the '70s "bubblegum" genre.
The song is factually inaccurate - there is no East Side of Chicago, and Al
Capone never engineered a police massacre. The arrangement is wildly
overactive, throwing in some sound effects and ear-grabbing noises like the
very odd and prominent, clipped, overprocessed cymbal sound that shows up
once a verse for about four bars at a time and then disappears again. However
in the '70s this song had been an inescapable AM radio hit.
3Paper Lace was a classic one-hit wonder band. In America, anyway. (In the
U.K. they were a classic two-hit wonder.) Formed in 1969 in Nottingham,
England, by Michael Vaughn, Chris Morris, Carlo Santanna (not to be confused
with Carlos Santana, of Latin music fame), Cliff Fish, and Phillip Wright.
They were one of hundreds of pop bands in England looking for the big time
while slogging their way through small club gigs and brief television
appearances. Their big break came in 1974 when their version of the
tear-jerking, "bubblegum" tune "Billy, Don't Be a Hero," went all the way to
the top of the U.K. charts. Their next single,"The Night Chicago Died," did
manage to hit the number one slot on the U.S. charts (number three in the
U.K.) and then that was it.

I don't think today's music is so bad. It is just different to what we grew up with. Yeah I still prefer 70s music. And the 60s and some of the 80s. Heck I even liked Disco.

Thanks to my amazing mum who owned a thousand 45's + another thousand albums. Introduced this 44yr old to some awesome music! She's been gone almost 16 yrs now. Depending on the song + my mood classics like this either make me smile or ball my eyes out. She bought 1 45 a week with her Woolworth's paycheck. Had a huge collection. Grateful to have grown up with amazing music in my home + an amazing mother. Who worked hard to eventually buy a stereo system with speakers bigger then her for us to blast some cool music through lol I can still hear her voice singing this when I hear it ❤

This could have been written by me except for the Woolworths part. My mom heavily influenced my music preferences. She had about the same amount of records too. My mama will be gone 2 years in July. As long as I can hear songs like this, she is always with me. ❤

I am with you on that...Because today '"Singers/Bands" are so busy working on their skimpy stage clothes, how much lip sync is required , how much focus is on them, how much razz & fuss etc they can create on stage, & how important they are. (Yeah right) . They do not seem to realise they are their to basically sing /play music. B..T.W I wonder how many today, can actually play an instrument .. Peggy Wood

Songs of today and those that followed after this song (1974) did/do tell a stories (many stories, actually and repetitive themes too). It's just a matter of people releasing their tendencies towards rosy retrospective.

Daddy was a cop on the east side of Chicago Back in the USA, back in the bad old days In the heat of a summer night In the land of the dollar bill When the town of Chicago died And they talk about it still When a man named Al Capone Tried to make that town his own And he called his gang to war With the forces of the law I heard my mama cry I heard her pray the night Chicago died Brother, what a night it really was Brother, what a fight it really was Glory be I heard my mama cry I heard her pray the night Chicago died Brother, what a night the people saw Brother, what a fight the people saw Yes, indeed And the sound of the battle rang Through the streets of the old east side 'Til the last of the hoodlum gang Had surrendered up or died There was shouting in the street And the sound of running feet And I asked someone who said "'Bout a hundred cops are dead!" I heard my mama cry I heard her pray the night Chicago died Brother, what a night it really was Brother, what a fight it really was Glory be I heard my mama cry I heard her pray the night Chicago died Brother, what a night the people saw Brother, what a fight the people saw Yes, indeed Then there was no sound at all But the clock up on the wall Then the door burst open wide And my daddy stepped inside And he kissed my mama's face And he brushed her tears away The night Chicago died (Na-na-na, na-na-na, na-na, na-na-na) The night Chicago died Brother, what a night the people saw Brother, what a fight the people saw Yes, indeed The night Chicago died (Na-na-na, na-na-na, na-na, na-na-na) The night Chicago died Brother, what a night it really was Brother, what a fight it really was Glory be The night Chicago died (Na-na-na, na-na-na, na-na, na-na-na) The night Chicago died Brother what a night the people saw Brother what a fight the people saw

Buenos recuerdos de mi adolescencia amis _60 s los sigo escuchando gracias a los que suben música de calidad

[@mibeatleman6767]

I had this on a K-Tel album back in the mid 70's, great times and great music.

[@Daniel-f1u6o]

I loved this as a kid listening to my dad's random vinyls. As an adult I didn't know much about until about the year 97/98 when I was at a holiday camp place and paper lace were playing. When I heard the opening chords I can't remember being so happy!! Was a fantastic surprise

[@SURESHNARAYAN-v3w]

Someone please take me back in time, it was the best time of my life.

[@davidcreager1945]

Loved this song for years !!!!!!

[@donaldcampbell3043]

I was born in 68, so didn't really know the song, but about 6 years ago I picked up a compilation CD of UK Hits of the 1970s, this is one of the great songs in that set along with Judge Dread... missed so much damn being born to late...

[@kevinmunday6263]

Born too late in 1968 ?? I was Born in 1963 and We are both Old 😅😅

[@donaldcampbell3043]

@@kevinmunday6263 I was referring to being born to late to appreciate the song at the time... I know I'm old... lol

[@howardmolesworth8407]

I was 13years old when this song was in the charts. Happy days. Always loved this song thank you. 🇬🇧😍😊👍💐🕺❤️

[@SistersnStorm]

What a wonderful time for the best music EVER. My kids and grandkids love my music I grew up with. The stacks and stacks of 45's next to the record player were testimonials to the events of the day. I think about happy faces, mad magazine, bell bottoms, Vietnam, Watergate, bikes with banana seats, POW I.D. bracelets and more. It was the worst of times, it was the best of times. Lucky to have lived in such a time.

[@spookedhorse]

Right on, Pam. I love today and all the good things going on but not much can compare to this era. Collecting 45's was a staple in my family. They were very important songs, that told stories of great imagination and also fact, in some songs. It meant an awful lot to listen to these songs with the family. The older folks would start discussing what some of the songs were about (or what they thought they were about) and have endless good times, while doing so. Things are different today in a sense that there's no more "togetherness" Well, I do my best to spread that vibe around. Peace.

[@bobloblaw2958]

I heard this song over and over at any carnival I ever went to as a teen in the 70's. Fun times. Long gone.
