ON THIS DATE (42 YEARS AGO) October 6, 1972 - Chicago: Dialogue (Part I And II) b/w Now That Youve Gone (Columbia 4-45717) 45 single is released in the US. Dialogue is a song written by Robert Lamm for the group Chicago and recorded for their album Chicago V (1972). On the album the song is over 7 minutes long and is divided into two tracks. An edited version of the song was released as a single in October 1972, eventually reaching #24 on the U.S. Billboard Hot 100. In Part I, the songs lyrics are a dialogue between two young people with different views. The first person (whose lines are sung by Terry Kath) is very concerned about events of the early 1970s, such as war, starvation, and repression... closing in around. The second person (whose lines are sung by Peter Cetera) maintains that everything is fine. Musically, the song is also a dialogue between Terry Kaths rhythm guitar and Peter Ceteras bass, which is all the more interesting as the songwriting credit went to keyboardist Robert Lamm. As Part I comes to a close, Terry Kaths character embraces the other characters worldview, saying you know you really eased my mind; / I was troubled by the shapes of things to come. The response: Well, if you had my outlook your feelings would be numb - youd always think that everything was fine Part II contains more optimistic lyrics sung by the whole band, including we can make it better and we can change the world now and points the way by noting we can save the children.
