Terry Kath 被 Chicago 搖滾樂團解僱的背後有什麼故事?離開樂團後他的音樂抱負是什麼?
Terry
Kath 從未被
Chicago
解僱。
Kath
是他們最初的主唱吉他手之一,在樂團期間為該團創作或共同創作了多首歌曲,並在其中的幾首歌曲中擔任主唱。但Kath
後來因為1978年的
一場悲劇收場。
1978
年1
月23
日,Kath在一個聚會上把玩一把左輪手槍,但為了平息周圍朋友的恐懼,他說這把手槍沒有上膛。他把槍指著自己的頭,扣動了扳機,但遺憾的是槍已經上膛,子彈射出,Kath當場斃命。
Kath 一直在考慮做一個副業,並寫了一些歌曲,但在他去世時還沒有任何結果。Chicago
的成員都對他的去世深感悲痛
,但樂團仍然在一起並繼續錄歌和巡迴演出。但樂團發生了變化,失去了一位重要的原始成員。
Chicago 被樂評人定位為 Pop/Rock/Adult Contemporary 流行/搖滾/成人當代樂團,於芝加哥成軍時名叫 The Big Thing,1969年轉到洛杉磯時改名Chicago Transit Authority 簡稱Chicago,除了 Terry Kath(吉他手)之外,Peter Cetera (貝斯手)Robert Lamm(鍵琴手)也擔任主唱。
Peter Cetera 於1985年離開Chicago 去從事個人的歌唱事業,以一首電影The Karate Kid Part II 《小子難纏 II》插曲Glory Of Love 獲得2周排行榜冠軍,是他個人成績最好的一首歌。而 1978 年1 月23 日Terry Kath 意外喪生之前Chicago 樂團成績最好的一首歌是也獲得2周排行榜冠軍的 If You Leave Me Now。

Peter Cetera 彈12弦吉他很出色但歌喉更沒話講, Terry Kath當然也 參加了錄製工作。

這齣戲很吸引青少年,主題曲替Peter Cetera 開啟了個人歌唱事業的康莊大道。
Glory Of Love
作詞/作曲:David Foster / Diane Nini / Peter Cetera
Tonight
it's very clear as we're both lyin' here
There's so many things
I want to say
I will always love you
I would never leave
you alone
Sometimes
I just forget, say things I might regret
It breaks my heart to
see you cryin'
I don't want to lose you
I could never make
it alone
I
am a man who will fight for your honor
I'll be the hero you're
dreamin' of
We'll live forever, knowin' together
That we
did it all for the glory of love
You
keep me standing tall, you help me through it all
I'm always
strong when you're beside me
I have always needed you
I
could never make it alone
I
am a man who will fight for your honor
I'll be the hero you've
been dreamin' of
We'll live forever, knowin' together
That
we did it all for the glory of love
It's
like a knight in shining armor from a long time ago
Just in time
I will save the day
Take you to my castle far away
I
am a man who will fight for your honor
I'll be the hero that
you're dreamin' of
We're gonna live forever, knowin'
together
That we did it all for the glory of love
We'll
live forever (we'll live forever), knowin' together (knowin'
together)
That we did it all for the glory of love
Ooh
We
did it all for love
We did it all for love
We did it all
for love
We did it all for love
