CLASSIC WAVES

Today’s Topic: Chicago

If You Leave Me Now is a song by the rock group Chicago, from their album Chicago X. It was written and sung by bass player Peter Cetera and released as a single in 1976.

The single topped the Billboard Hot 100 and stayed there for two weeks, making it the first number one hit for the group as well as hitting number one on the Easy Listening charts. “If You Leave Me Now" was also Chicago's biggest hit internationally,

The song won Grammy Awards for Best Arrangement Accompanying Vocalist(s) (strings) for arranger Jimmie Haskell and producer James William Guercio[10] and Best Pop Vocal Performance by a Duo, Group or Chorus, the first Grammy Award won by the group. It also received a Grammy nomination for Record of the Year. In addition, by August 1978 it had sold 1.4 million copies in the United States alone. It has been certified gold and platinum by the RIAA.

I remember the song, If You Leave Me Now. I was a little girl when I first heard it. It was a sad song to me. It always made me think about a loved one in the same way the lyrics were written. It made me think as I got older that the writer of the song may have had some of my feelings. I’ve always loved the sound of the music. It was music that I could sleep to.
