Chicago’s Terry Kath delivers a raw, emotional performance not unlike John Lennon’s brilliant but bleak ‘Plastic Ono Band’ album.

I don’t particularly like 1973’s ‘Chicago VI.’ There, I said it. Still, “Feelin’ Stronger Every Day” makes for an uplifting end.

Though Robert Lamm’s lyrics are usually straightforward, the quite cryptic “Rediscovery” is one of the coolest songs on 1973’s ‘Chicago VI.’

Was “In Terms of Two” from 1973’s ‘Chicago VI’ the beginning of Peter Cetera’s eventual takeover of Chicago?

“Hollywood,” Robert Lamm’s outstanding contribution from 1973’s ‘Chicago VI,’ remains a highlight on a very uneven album.

Other than the hits, 1973’s ‘Chicago VI’ often feels like bologna: lots of filling but the real meat is questionable at best. This deep cut is an exception.

One of the few social commentary songs on ‘Chicago VI,’ this funk workout was penned by James Pankow.

If ‘Chicago VI’ had opened with “Jenny” instead of “Critic’s Choice,” the album might be held in higher regard than it is today.

It’s a shame Terry Kath never hitched up the slide again. Chicago’s “Darlin’ Dear” shows he had a real talent for it.

With its stellar arrangements, impressive chops and smart production, Chicago’s “Just You ‘N’ Me” reached rare heights among pop-rock singles in 1973.
