Album Notes & Community Reviews
A massive commercial triumph that formally completed the iconic horn band's transition from politically charged jazz-rock into pristine, radio-friendly adult contemporary pop. The record is famously anchored by Peter Cetera's sweeping, Grammy-winning ballad 'If You Leave Me Now', which became a global smash hit. This shift in sonic priorities profoundly influenced the broader soft rock and blue-eyed soul landscape of the late 1970s.
