Chicago, “Till We Meet Again” from Chicago VIII (1975): Saturdays in the Park
Chicago’s “Till We Meet Again” is barely over two minutes long, and kindly labeled “filler.” Well-arranged filler, but filler nevertheless.

As Chicago’s “Hideaway” illustrates, Peter Cetera could and did rock. But was this the beginning of the end?
Chicago’s “Wake Up Sunshine” possesses a sound and subject matter as bright and shiny as its title implies.
Chicago’s Robert Lamm didn’t write straight love songs often, but he did with “Never Been In Love Before.’ It’s a satisfying, if not memorable, listen.
Road weary and dying for a day off, Chicago still manages to address both their jazz roots and rock and roll side in a single composition.
Chicago’s “Anyway You Want” sounds like Peter Cetera dashed it off in five minutes. And this is the lead-off song for ‘Chicago VIII’?
“Skinny Boy,” a song that later appeared on the Robert Lamm solo album of the same name, was this weird little treat to end a great Chicago album.
The fact that “Woman Don’t Want to Love Me” is a lesser song on ‘Chicago VII’ is a testament to how strong the rest of the album really is.
Combining a catchy melody, a good story, amazing brass and prominent percussion, Chicago’s “Call on Me” is a purely enjoyable listen.
Is this Peter Cetera-composed, Terry Kath-sung track the best ballad in Chicago’s canon, or just one of many highs?
