Product Description

CD Description

The title of this retrospective speaks for itself. Here arethe romantic classics from the group whose pioneering mix of rock, smooth harmonies and distinctive horn arrangements has become as familiar as butter and toast. The songs, ranging from 1970's "Make Me Smile" to 1988's "Look Away", are notarranged chronologically, which makes for interesting juxtapositions, such as the one between 1971's lightly funky "Beginnings", with its classic "whoa, whoa, whoa" chorus, and 1982's irresistibly sentimental "Hard to Say I'm Sorry" ("After all that we've been through/I will make it up to you/I promise to"). Thirteen of the 15 songs on THE HEART OF CHICAGO have been digitally remastered, and all provide an opportunity to revisit some of the best offerings from one of history's most successful bands.

5.0 out of 5 stars Simply the best from Chicago!, 6 Dec 2000
By A Customer
This CD brings all the best chart-toppers from the group in the 30 years they have been together. You can clearly see the change from "Saturday in the Park" to "You're the inspiration" and all of the tracks are nicely cleaned up for a high quality sound. There are two new tracks on the CD, but that's where it ends. If you are a Chicagophile looking for a new release, this is probably not for you. If you have heard Chicago on the radio and want the best, this is a great buy. Thoughrouly reccomended anyway, this CD is a great way to mark the 30TH Anniversary of the greatest band in history

5.0 out of 5 stars First of two volumes includes If you leave me now, 12 Jun 2009
By Peter Durward Harris "Pete the music fan" (Leicester England) - See all my reviews
(#1 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)      
In 1997 and 1998, two compilations were released, apparently to celebrate thirty years in the business. As they were formed in 1966 but not signed by Columbia until 1969, I'm not sure why 1967 was chosen as the starting point. (Maybe my information is wrong?) Thirteen of the fifteen track were recorded between 1970 and 1988. I'm assuming that the other two (The only one, Here in my heart) were recorded especially for this compilation as no dates are given.

Chicago started life as a jazz-rock group, but Blood Sweat and Tears were the most successful group in that interesting but limited market. Chicago gradually evolved into a mainstream pop-rock group. Nevertheless, you can hear their jazz-rock style on the earliest recordings here such as Make me smile, Beginnings and Does anybody really know what time it is?

For the majority of fans who are primarily interested in their mainstream music, the jewel in the crown of this volume is, of course, If you leave me now. It became an international number one hit and remains the most famous track here. Other big international hits featured here include You're the inspiration, Hard habit to break and Hard to say I'm sorry. All the songs here are originals so even if a couple of the titles (Color my world, Here in my heart) look as if they could be covers, they aren't.

Because this was the first of two compilations, some important tracks (25 or 6 to 4), I'm a man, Baby what a big surprise) are missing. If you want those tracks, you may choose to buy both volumes, or forget this and buy a completely different compilation. I picked up this one cheaply, intending to by volume 2 eventually but I haven't done so yet. Whatever you decide, if you love mainstream seventies pop-rock music, you'll love Chicago`s music.

5.0 out of 5 stars A GREAT COMPILATION!!, 1 Mar 2008
By C. Bellegarrigue "COBRABRAVA" (El Salvador) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I'm a really fan of the 60's and 70's music, and I think Chicago is one of the most representative groups of the two decades; this disc and its sister volume two had together the best songs ever recorded of this men who created an excellent rock and beautiful ballads and this music will live forever not only for my generation, because the young people today are listening and enjoyed this music. CHICAGO 4EVER!!!
