"Chicago" - Graham Nash

Back


Graham Nash is one of the most durable musical figures to have emerged from the 1960s, both as a supporting musician and a star in his own right, and a key figure in both the British Invasion and the '70s singer/songwriter era that followed. He participated in groups such as Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young and the Hollies, until coming out with a solo album in 1971 called "Songs for Beginners" that contained the hit Chicago...became a major iconic song due to the Chicago Eight trials in the late 60's, involving Bobby Seale(Black Panther Party chairman), and a host of others, that decided to stress the inequality of mandates against blacks...during the Democratic Convention...1968

I remember hearing this as a child in the early 70s. It had an impact then...and then watching that wonderful historic event Chicago on Nov 4, 2008 of President Obama's election. This song will now have a differnt memory. We can change the world...YES WE CAN and YES WE DID!

Also heard this as a kid in early 70s. Older sibs played all the time. I agree re: the 11/4/08 reference! Oh yes, we did.

'cause if you replace CHICAGO with BOSTON, it sounds sick. Doesn't work with any other city.
