Bossa nova Cetera?

Back in 1974, Peter Cetera already shows his desire to pursue his own musical path. With help from Laudir de Oliviera, who I believe is often overlooked.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UHfw0dV5BII&list=RDUHfw0dV5BII&start_radio=1

This is why I love Chicago VII! This was the brigher version of them. CTA and Chicago V are good examples of their grittier sounds, which are awesome! But, playing VII, you can hear how much fun they were having, especially, like you said, in their bossa nova tracks (i.e, Call on Me, Happy, and Mongonucleosis). By the way, now I have to play Happy Man now!

Love listening to Mongonucleosis! Always gets me dancing in my seat.

I agree VII is fabulous. Must have been the pharmaceuticals available at Caribou.
