Chicago V by Chicago
Chicago V is an album by Chicago, released in 1972. 1 song from it has charted on rock radio countdowns, with 12 countdown appearances in total. The biggest is “Saturday In The Park”, on 12 lists with a best position of #138.
Chicago V came out on Columbia on July 10, 1972, and for once the horn-powered rockers from Chicago kept it to a single disc. After three straight double albums and a four-record live box from Carnegie Hall that counted as number four, this was their fourth studio album, and the tighter frame suits them.
The seven originals are all here: Terry Kath's guitar, Peter Cetera's bass, Robert Lamm's keyboards, Danny Seraphine's drums, and the brass and reed section of Lee Loughnane, James Pankow and Walter Parazaider, with Kath, Cetera and Lamm trading lead vocals. It's rock with jazz running through its veins, horn charts punching like a second rhythm section. "Saturday in the Park" is the sunny one everybody knows, an easygoing shuffle that still turns up on countdowns decades on.
