Well my pad is very messy, got whiskers on my chin
Never had no problems 'cause I've always paid the rent
I got no time for lovin'
Cause my time is all used up
I stand outside creatin'
All the groovy kinds of love

I'm a man, yes I am and I can't help but love you so
Oh baby
I'm a man, yes I am and I can't help but love you so
Yes I am

If I had my choice of matter
I'd would rather be with cats
All engrossed in mental chatter,
Showing where your mind is at
While relating to each other
How strong the love can be
By resisting all the good times with each groovy chick we see

I'm a man yes I am and I can't help but love you so
Oooh, I'm a man, yes I am
I'm a man yes I am and I can't help but love you so
I love to hear you talk

I've got to keep my image
While I'm standing on the floor
If I drop upon my knees
It's just to keep them on my nose
You think that I'm not human
And my heart is made of stone
But I've never had no problems
And my body's pretty strong

I'm a man yes I am and I can't help but love you so
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yes I know
I'm a man yes I am and I can't help but love you so
Oooh
Man yes I am and I can't help but love you so
Good god I love you so, love you so

If I had my choice of matter
I would rather be with cats
All engrossed in mental chatter
Knowin' where your mind is at
While relating to each other
How good a love can be
By resisting all the good times with each groovy chick we see

I'm a man yes I am and I can't help but love you so
Yes I am
I'm a man yes I am and I can't help but love you so
Yeah, yeah yeah. I'm a
Man yes I am and I can't help but love you so
I'm a man, ooh yes I am

I gotta keep my image
While I'm standin on the floor
If I drop upon my knees (?)
?
You think that I'm not human
And my heart is made of stone
But I never had no problems
And my body's pretty strong

I'm a
Man, yes I am, and I can't help but love you so
Owww.. I'm A
Man, yes I am, and I can't help but love you so
Man, yes I am, and I can't help but love you so
Man, yes I am, and I can't help but love you so

No, everyone doesn't know what they're listening to. Reminding them twice an hour seems easy enough for the rest of us to tolerate. 


William also uses the break to change the kind of music being played. "...and now for something completely different."

Yeah, I like the original better as well. Something about Winwood's voice...

Try listening to Spencer Davies Group’s version of this which in my view is much funkier and less of a racket! (Sorry justly my view)

If this were an OTA broadcast the FCC would require station IDs and this IS a radio station, which is why I love it! The IDs are part of the aura.

This song is a reminder that this band was once  a real rock band. But like alot of other ones (e.g., Journey, Styx, REO, Kansas) they chose to become a box of twinkies and play pablum and made tons of money.

When I was 15-16 yrs old I often listened to the first Chicago (CTA) albums, even had this ""I"am a Man"" on single in those days, some 52 yrs ago. Around 1988  much later, lived shortly in San Antonio and Austin, Texas,  in the US, and heard and saw Bo Diddly (his song?) perform on the street,  midnight, the 4-th of Juli.  BIG, BIG PARTY.  Now so many years later, by accident stumbled on Chicago''s 25-6-to 4 some days ago on you tube, a 50 th anniv.? Phantastic, what a great band, even with horns! Same time, Blood, Swet & Tears, where have these all gone?  The bands were like an organic ""machine"" , not over-produced, managed, ""canned music"". Thank you Bill and Rebecca for broadcasting these gems, I often listen to yr station and  am often surprised, wonderfully enthousiast over all that Am. music you send.  A small miriacle in the nowadays grim political U.S. world.  Peter in NL (Holland)

Can anyone explain the 'cross-over' (if that's the right word) between this song and 'Long Train Running' - The Doobie Brothers?
Did one rip the other? Which came first? What's the history?
Can anyone here shed any light for this confused Brit?

My favourite band back then before they went top 40 after Terry Kath passed in 1978.
I have bought this album 3 times.
Those were the days when our FM stations were going to all-day rock music and our local station was converting gradually from classical to serious rock. A nice combination at the time.

Steve Wilson has re-engineered some of the early Chicago recording. They sound much better with what he has done. Check it out at:

Steve Wilson Remix of Chicago II

Wilson explains: "Working with high-resolution 96K/24 bit digitally transferred files, I had every element from the recording sessions isolated, which meant I was able to rebuild the mix from the drums upwards, recreating as closely as I could the equalization, stereo placement, reverbs, other effects, and volume changes of each individual instrument or vocal - but at the same time looking to gain definition and clarity in the overall sound."

 Yes, but it has been a good ride! I was hooked on this at 25 when Toronto's classical FM station started playing 'good' rock music mixed with its usual fare. I've worn out 2 vinyl copies of this album and one CD since.

A couple of weeks ago, a friend I jammed with suggested we do some Chicago songs. I thought that was a terrible idea - I loved the band 40 years ago but eventually found them cheesy and long left them in the dust. RP proves me wrong - this and another track were played since my friend's suggestion, and I'm reminded of their range.

Catch the "Now More Than Ever" movie that goes through their career and you'll see two big problems: James William Guercio misused and stole a lot of their money; and David Foster coaxed away Peter Cetera into a hit-making world of crap music.

One of the great covers of all time - incredible percussion (pity about the single version).
 
Sadly Chicago transit Authority seemed to be emasculated by legal threats - the change of name didn't do many favours.

Ah, the brilliant work of Terry Kath. That album was amazing at the time, and still is to be honest. Personally, I'm always going to be curious as to where they would've evolved had Kath remembered to remove that chambered round. Can't say they've Petered out (pun only slightly intended), but I can't help but think the homogenization of the sound on their albums in the 80's would have come so easily.

The dude on the bass was Peter Cetera - who turned in some great vocals on the early Chicago but whose later solo work was pure schlock.

From AMG on the really really good album - marred IMHO by a few insane Terry Kath gutarbation excursions:

"On the one hand, listeners were presented with an incendiary rock & roll quartet of Terry Kath (lead guitar/vocals), Robert Lamm (keyboards/vocals), Peter Cetera (bass/vocals), and Danny Seraphine (drums). They were augmented by the equally aggressive power brass trio that included Lee Loughnane (trumpet/vocals), James Pankow (trombone), and the aforementioned Walter Parazaider (woodwind/vocals). "

I believe the vocals here start with Terry then to Peter than to Robert
