Great song. Awesome bass line from Peter Cetera. That was going to be my pick for the week. Now I'll have to find another one.

We may have been listening to it at the same time during our high school years

Well, possibly. But my brother introduced me to the first 2 Chicago albums in 1970 or 71, so I became obsessed with them when I was like 9. And Chicago III came about a year later. By high school, I was buying my own albums from Steely Dan, Boston, Billy Joel, Kansas, Doobie Brothers, and Steve Miller Band.
Anyway, for my non-single of the week, I'm picking the light and hopeful side 4 final track from Chicago II. It follows the epic, 4 movement protest jam "It Better End Soon", which takes up most of side 4. This is a Peter Cetera composition and vocal.
Chicago - Where Do We Go from Here?
That was a nice one!
As far as albums, I had some Boston too. And Billy Joel (The Stranger and 52nd Street), a Kansas and Steve Miller Band (inducted with Chicago into the R&R Hall of Fame same year). I liked Steely Dan but do not think I had any albums. I also had Supertramp "Breakfast in America", Styx "Grand illusion" and Aerosmith "Toys In The Attic". I was Cross Country but the Football team liked to play the Aerosmith album in the locker room and I would tag along. I also had a narrative album "The Point" by Nilson I would play a lot.
But Chicago was my favorite and the only one I still follow.
While Chicago 3 and Chicago 4 are new to me, I have taken a liking to "Happy 'Cause I'm Going Home" It has a nice autumn feel to it. I think I would like to play it driving down the country road in late September. Reminds me of a Swing Out Sister song "Caipirinha" This is my Chicago non-single for the week

My favorite Chicago Non-Hit this week is a Hit. "A Hit by Vare'se" from the Chicago V album. Sung by Robert Lamm.
The Chicago V album included singles "Saturday in the Park" and "Dialogue Parts I & II" I use to play it so much I wore out the needle.
Bonus Track: Peter Cetera and his group with "Dialogue"
