Color My World: Chicago

You know, I mostly post Gospel and Blues songs on this site, LadyDpiano.com Plus, you'll find piano tips here to improve your playing. Did I mention a free monthly newsletter?
You'll want to sign up for that, too! But I wanted to ask...

Have you gone over to the other blog? That's where you'll find Jazz posts. http://pianodiana.blogspot.com I thought I'd share one of my favorite songs with you. I'm playing on the Yamaha Motif ES8 on a Vintage setting. Do you have a favorite song by Chicago?

Color My World-Chicago (Piano Cover)

I love this song. It was a seventies smash hit! It was written by James Pankow and recorded by the group Chicago.

James Carter "Jimmy" Pankow (born August 20, 1947) is an American trombone player, songwriter and brass instrument arranger best known as a founding member of the rock band Chicago.
