Chicago, “Hard to Say I’m Sorry / Get Away” from ‘Chicago 16’ (1982): Saturdays in the Park
“Hard to Say I’m Sorry” would become Chicago’s second chart-topping single. But the album-version ending is what made it soar for me.

Chicago’s “Chains” is worthy of praise – even if I still can’t figure out if the horns are real or not.
‘Chicago 16’ as a whole is superb, and “Waiting for You to Decide” is an integral part of that.
Chicago kicks off arguably the best album they recorded after the passing of original guitarist Terry Kath.
There’s something rather unusual about the three bonus tracks found on the reissue of 1980’s ‘Chicago XIV’: They are all good.
Almost no information exists about “Live It Up,” a bonus track on the Rhino re-release of 1980’s ‘Chicago XIV.’
“The American Dream” has a lot of the Chicago exuberance from their early years, along with one of Peter Cetera’s finer lead vocals.
Robert Lamm’s “I’d Rather Be Rich” had been sitting around in the vaults for several years before it made the ‘Chicago XIV’ album.
“Thunder and Lightning” is one of the few examples on ‘XIV’ where it feels as though Chicago was actually playing together as one group.
Much like Chicago’s earlier “Hold On,” “Overnight Café” would probably have been a stronger fit on Peter Cetera’s solo debut.
