This song was not a deep cut but actually a huge hit in summer 1973.

Oh man, this song was top radio play and booming out of every teen's headphones back in the day. Easy S, at minimum A++.

B+?! Any other band would kill for a song like that on their album.

A&A, you'll love their “Question 67 And 68”!!! Terry Kath era Chicago is best!

This song was huge back in the day. A++ for me.

The musicianship of these players rarely get the love deserved. Pete Cetera's bass work is on point. Danny Seraphine's drums and fills always kill.

This song was played on the radio very often, back in the 70s... it was one of their most popular songs. I strongly recommend "Searching for an Answer" or "Wishing You Were Here".

Written by Peter Cetera, with trombonist James Pankow, about the dissolution of Cetera’s first marriage, this is a song of triumph over adversity, expressed well both lyrically and instrumentally. Keep on feeling strong, Andy!

This is a masterpiece of a great song! One of my all time Chicago top 3 tunes! It has so much dynamic range and perfect vocals, and the build up with the horns is immaculate, man! This is 'S Tier' for me!

Next Chicago reaction should be "Wishing You Were Here" since it features three Beach Boys doing backup vocals

Not a deep cut by any means; this was a huge hit and reached #10 on the Billboard Hot 100. It was the first single from Chicago VI. It still gets airplay.

Danny Seraphine's finest hour. Killed it on the drums.

Great song. Before Chicago went mush (and yes I know millions of people love that fluff stuff, too), they were phenomenally unique, creative, inventive, versatile...

I know it’s considered a break up song, but I found encouragement in it a year or two after my husband passed and I was feeling stronger every day (and knowing he would want me to feel that way).

Now we’re talkin! Back into songs with some energy! Thanks, guys! 👍🏻🤘🏻✌🏻

Grew up in Chicago listening to CHICAGO! The first 7 albums are masterpieces. 👍😎

This was actually a big hit for them. It's a better than average song from an arrangement perspective. It has everything Chicago does best and it leaves you wanting more. That's a hit single in a nutshell.

Next should be Dialogue Pts. 1 & 2. Amazing song.

Chicago's best song,closely followed by 25 or 6 to 4.I love how the song builds in intensity and Peter Cetara's voice is great as well.

Kudos to whomever suggested this positive uplifting song. Soul restored!! Fav line: " I do believe I'm feeling stronger everyday...."

In watching these reactions, I realize how much I have taken these songs for granted in having grown up listening to such great music. I love that you guys bring this back around.

Feeling Stronger is my all time favorite Chicago song, hands down, without question.

Make me smile-a feel good song with the great Terry Kath on lead vocals

Dude, you can’t give a song a lower rating because it’s other songs are better. Every song should be based on its own merit. IMHO

Terry Kath was the band's leader. They were never the same after he was gone.

The Single made it to number 10 on the US charts... Definitely an A and it was the first Hit from the album to Chart BTW.....

First speeding ticket I ever got was because of this song! You guys interested in talking to an old hippie broadcaster who played this stuff on analog radio on VINYL for over 40 years?!

A+ for me. Big hit back in the day. How someone takes control of their life rather than letting things out of their control do the controlling. Decision to live life!

This was a major hit that got bucco airplay for years. By no means a deep cut.

Great choice! 'Feeling Stronger' was the lead single off the album and reached #10 on the charts. 👍

This song is an absolute treat. Fills my imaginative senses.

So many memories connected to Chicago. A perfect blend of 70s pop and jazz infused horns. What a sound.

The outro on this song grooves so hard.

This song is just utterly and completely incredible!!!!!!! It’s just too much!!!!!!!!!!!♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️

HOW CAN ANY BAND HAVE TOO MANY GOOD SONGS ???? A ALL THE WAY !!!

When the original vinyl of this album came out, the album cover had the raised lettering you'd find on some high-end bond shares or bank notes. Really cool.

This is one of their great songs. A+ for me.

This IS their best song on this album, the only other one of note is Just you N' Me. It's an A+ song (as long as I'm not driving).

This song puts notes together in ways that we never expected, and made it work in epic fashion. Love Chicago.

Peter Cetera was such an underrated bassist on those early albums!!

Musicianship in this band is top notch all around. Danny Seraphine played terrific drums as you say. Kath’s guitar, Cetera’s bass and vocal, the horns, Lamm on keys.

"(I’ve Been) Searchin’ So Long" - another hopeful Chicago song and one of my favorites.

“Dialogue Pts 1&2” and “Just You ‘n’ Me” are definite Chicago high points for me.

Chicago's first greatest hits album, Chicago IX, is an album that EVERY lover of music should have in their collection. Just a fantastic collection of music.

Great song, great band! Leonid & Friends should be next on your list. They’re an incredible Chicago tribute band, it’s scary how much they sound like the original!

Dude, if I remember correctly, it was the big hit from the album that DID propel it, ultimately And it’s the album closer, so that killer fade is what the listener of the entire album hears/is left with as the final “feel” of the record. It TOTALLY worked!

Somewhere there in the early 70s, Robert Lamm fell in love with the Fender Rhodes and you hear it all over Chicago V and VI. It works pretty well in this song.

This is a song that you will most definitely end up 20 mph above the speed limit if you listen to it while driving.

This is one of my favorite Chicago songs.

so much richness in that tune , all sorts of sounds , it''s a magical mystery tour

IMO… any Chicago track prior to Terry’s death is a minimum A rating. (Majority Ss and A+s) And even after his death there are so many great songs. I could listen to any album beginning to end and not glean great enjoyment from every track. This one’s an A+ for me. ❤ *** Have to add, no song should be down-rated simply because a band has so many other great songs. Chicago is just that freakin’ good!

"A Hit By Varese" is my favorite Chicago song. Hope you guys take a listen to that some time.

For a band that had so many hits, their deep cuts were their best. Try Poem 58 for the most amazing guitar work you never knew about.

I'm 62 love this tune top20 all time for , I feel good every time I listen to it .

I went to visit my sister in San Jose California in 1973 , she loaned me her car that had one of those 5 push button station selectors on the car radio , as I drove around listening to the radio every time I pushed a button this song was playing , every station , coming from Scotland I didn’t appreciate just how big this band was in 1973 USA . Larry from Glasgow 😎

This was definitely written for the pop charts (and it reached #10 on Billboards Hot 100) and it was the first single released from this album (Chicago VI). Danny Seraphine's pounding drum fills on the outro are a highlight, along with Robert Lamm's rock n'roll electric piano chords. And as always, the horn section rounds it out and gives it that unique sound. Your next song should be Dialogue Parts I & II from Chicago V - a banger that is both a vocal and an instrumental masterpiece.

Yes, I'm surprised you hadn't hit this AWESOME Chicago song until now. Bravo!

I saw them live at MSG in NYC back in 1977. Great show.

Consider this. Chicago was just featured on PBS’s “A Capitol Fourth” Independence Day celebration concert on the lawn of the US capitol a couple weeks ago. And the three songs they did… “25 or 6 to 4”, “Saturday in the Park” and…. “Feelin’ Stronger Everyday “ out of their entire catalogue. So, it’s not a deep cut.

Love this song! One of my favorite Chicago songs

Oh guys, this was a big hit song on the radio, I remember it, 1973.

This song had heavy rotation on the jukebox at the local pinball joint I hung out at 50 years ago. Now you understand why 😁

I’m amazed and amused at how many times I hear “yeah, yeah, yeah” in songs from this era. It makes me smile to know that all these fantastic artists choose to give a nod to the Fab Four. And a righteous tune, to boot!

This is one of the greatest songs of all time. S++++ tier.

Dialogue pts 1 & 2 . Kath and Cetera trading lead vocals back and forth with the band bringing the heat!!

"Just You "N" Me". _GREAT_ horns.🎺🎷📯

One of the greatest bands of all time. This was a Top 10 hit. Peter Cetera is and was one of the greatest singers and bass players. Terry rocks as usual and Danny on drums. One of their best songs.

One of the best songs ever, instrumentals and vocals are insane!Danny kills it again on the drums!This is considered one of the favorites by most CHICAGO fans!it is an A++! by any stretch!

Next Chicago... go funky or go home..."Skin Tight" A banger with funk and groove

One of my favorite Chicago songs, it was awesome in concert.

This song WAS a hit for them. Maybe it resonated more in the '70's? Thanks for your reaction.

Omg a B+, this is an A+ to me. This song was a big hit in 73’.

I love how this song progresses, stronger with each transition. Chicago went through so many musical styles throughout the years. Different lineup different vibe. Love this one, great memories with this band.

This was a seller of the album. I bought this album in 1973 because of this song.

For every Chicago track you listen to, let me suggest also watching Leonid & Friends doing the same song live from their studio. Jaw-dropping.

One of my favorite bands of the period. A testament to how great music was from that decade.

Chicago has so many great songs. I think Old Days should be your next Chicago song.

Hey guys! Really diggin' your reactions to the music that has been the soundtrack to my life and times 🤘. I bought this LP when it dropped. The cover was unique in that it was printed to resemble the look and feel of currency. It says in the liner notes that the original engraving was done by the American Bank Note Co. I started in music learning cornet at 8 y.o. at the Salvation Army church in Scotland. I think that is why I love rock and roll that incorporates horns and does it well. "Feelin' Stronger Every Day" was far from a deep cut, actually. It was all over "Top 40" radio in 1973-74. It managed to crack the top 10 in the U.S.A. BTW I decided that it's about time I became a patron, so I did.

The lead singer on this song Peter Cetera is also the bassist

This by far my favorite "Chicago Song" . Wishing you were here and 25 or 6 to 4 are close seconds....

Dudes, the bass, the driving drums, can't any better than Chicago!

For several years, while coming home from college for holidays, etc., this tune would come on at about the same place on the Thruway, played by whatever radio station it was. Well, the idea was to come down this hill and hit the flatland just as the tempo changes up. Worked out many times! So, one of my favorite Chicago tunes. Here we go! Rock on! Feel stronger, Andy!!

Way to go, guys! This is a great feel good song by them. All seven guys are superb musicians. To hear this song performed live back in the day was a rush. You should check out another tune from this album that kicks ass. "What's This World Comin' To? Of course, I always ask for my favorite Chicago song, "Dialogue (Parts 1 and 2)" Rock on. Love you two. Have a great weekend!

Add another recommendation for ‘Questions 67 & 68’. Paul Shaffer used to play it as a bumper song between breaks on the Letterman show quite often.

Easily one of their best. Loved this since I was a youngun

Always a good day when Chicago gets a spin!

"Searching so Long" Really good. Difficult to choose a favorite with such a huge catalog.

I love love love the bridge section. It’s one of my favorite Chicago songs because of that part. It actually still gets a lot of radio play. Definitely not a deep cut but they do have several killer deep track cuts that make you think “Why wasn’t this a hit?!”

It's always good to get back to early Chicago! I hope Andy is feeling better!

It's great to see these contemporary music listeners love this Chicago gem that was totally dismissed by the rock powers that be when it came out 50 years ago. Chicago's amazing music will continue to be discovered and appreciated decades after they...and we...are long gone.

Well, Alex, you’re wrong. It was the first single released from the album. As a kid in the 70’s this was my favorite Chicago song.

A solid place in their catalogue; I remember this on rotation on the radio for many months. senior from Canada

Chicago's horn work just seals the deal!...Everytime. Cheers A&A.

...he says 'The best thing that happened to you...the WORST thing that happened to me.,......yeah yeah yeah"

It's the beautiful genre!

LOL!!! The first part of your reaction/response was hilarious. And probably spot on!

One of their best. A radio staple on the better FM stations. Peter cetera on opening leads, with I'm sure Robert Lamm on backup. Signature horn arrangement on the latter half of the song.

A great song by a great band. So many songs by Chicago that I love but this is one of my favorites closely followed by "BEGINNINGS" and "25 OR 6 TO 4".

Great choice, and especially for the stated purpose. These guys could do no wrong during this stage of their career.

3:22 This song really takes off here and showcases Chicago's instrumental talents. The drumwork is sensational.
