■ ABOUT PETER CETERA & CHICAGO
70年代初期,一個樂團的生死幾乎完全取決於電台,芝加哥合唱團(Chicago)以銅管樂風格引領流行風潮,締造出無數充滿獨特與全然原創歌曲的作品,讓美國傳媒從洋溢快樂的TOP 40播歌取向,緩緩的轉型成曲式較為繁複,多元且自由的調頻電台播歌品味,他們是第一支以管號樂為主體樂器的搖滾樂團。
If You Leave Me Now就是美國搖滾樂團Chicago的暢銷情歌,由Bass手兼主唱Peter Cetera所創作,演唱,收錄在Chicago合唱團1976年6月發行的第10張專輯Chicago X。
1976.10.23”If You Leave Me Now”奪得美國流行單曲,成人抒情榜No.1(2週),隨後也在英國(3週),澳洲等地獲得排行榜冠軍,這也是Chicago的首支冠軍單曲,並於1977年榮獲葛萊美獎最佳演奏伴隨人聲編曲,最佳流行演唱雙人組或團體。
