Tracks: Critics' Choice Just You 'N' Me Darlin' Dear Jenny What's This World Comin' To Something In This City Changes People Hollywood In Terms Of Two Rediscovery Feelin' Stronger Every Day About The Record: Chicago VI, by rock band Chicago, followed the streamlined character of Chicago V, this successor would see the group move towards a pop music approach, relying less on their trademark horns and exploring varied music forms. After recording all of Chicago's first five albums (including the live album Chicago at Carnegie Hall) in New York City, producer James William Guercio had his own Caribou Studios built in Nederland, Colorado during 1972, finished in time for the band to record their sixth album the following February. It would remain their recording base for the next four years. While Robert Lamm maintains his songwriting prowess on Chicago VI (authoring half of the album's tracks, including his response to some of Chicago's negative reviewers in "Critics' Choice"), it is James Pankow who is responsible for the album's two hits, Just You 'N' Me (#4) and Feelin' Stronger Every Day (#10), the last of which was co-composed with Peter Cetera, who, himself landed another track on Chicago VI, the country-influenced In Terms Of Two. Released in June 1973, Chicago VI was another commercial success, spending five weeks at #1 in the US, while failing to chart in the UK at all, beginning a dry spell there that would last until 1976's Chicago X. In the U.S. Chicago VI was certified double platinum. On August 23, 1989, just before 7:00pm local time, "Just You 'N' Me" was the last song played on WLS before switching to an all-talk format. The album cover was produced by "American bank Note company" with silk screened raised ink to make it look and feel like currency. The original inner sleeve features 19th century artwork.
