Happy Thursday Noontime my RP Brothers and Sisters!!!
Just about 12:45 pm in the Greater Boston Area and a great time for a Noontime Music Interlude! Today I have selected a group, I am sure you are all familiar with, "Chicago" with their rendition of "Beginnings", which is Live on Soundstage - (OFFICIAL)!!!
Chicago is an awesome group and here is a short background:
Chicago is an American rock band formed in 1967 in Chicago, Illinois, calling themselves the Chicago Transit Authority in 1968 before shortening the name in 1969. The self-described “rock and roll band with horns” began writing intricate jazz fusion music with politically charged lyrics, and later moved to a softer sound, generating several hit ballads. The group had a steady stream of hits throughout the 1970s and 1980s. In September 2008, Billboard ranked Chicago at number thirteen in a list of the top 100 artists of all time for Hot 100 singles chart success, and ranked them at number fifteen on the same list produced in October 2015. Billboard also ranked Chicago ninth on the list of the hundred greatest artists of all time in terms of Billboard 200 album chart success in October 2015. Chicago is one of the longest-running and most successful rock groups, and one of the world's best-selling groups of all time, having sold more than 100 million records. In 1971, Chicago was the first rock act to sell out Carnegie Hall for a week.
To date, Chicago has sold over 40 million units in the U.S., with 23 gold, 18 platinum, and eight multi-platinum albums. They have had five consecutive number-one albums on the Billboard 200 and 20 top-ten singles on the Billboard Hot 100. In 1974 the group had seven albums, its entire catalog at the time, on the Billboard 200 simultaneously. They were inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2016. In 2017, original band members Peter Cetera, Robert Lamm, and James Pankow were elected to the Songwriters Hall of Fame for their songwriting efforts as members of the music group.

Good evening. my friend Sgt (Join to see) and thank you for posting the official music video of Chicago Transit Authority performing their wonderful song Beginnings live on SoundStage at the Grainger Studio in Chicago, Illinois.
I am have enjoyed this song since I first heard it.
"Beginnings" was written by Robert Lamm for the rock band Chicago Transit Authority and recorded for its debut album Chicago Transit Authority, released in 1969. ...
Robert Lamm said "Beginnings" was inspired by a performance by Richie Havens that he attended at the Ash Grove music club in Los Angeles when the group moved to that area. In a 2013 interview he said he composed it on a twelve-string guitar that was missing the two low E strings. ...
After the band's success with subsequent singles, "Beginnings" was re-released in June 1971, backed with "Colour My World". Both sides became U.S. radio hits, and the combined single climbed to number seven on the U.S. Billboard Hot 100 singles chart. Writing for Ultimate Classic Rock, Dave Swanson rates "Beginnings" as number two in his list of top ten Chicago songs. It has been covered by many bands."

Lyrics
"When I'm with you,
It doesn't matter where we are,
Ot what we're doing,
I'm with you that's all that matters
Time passes much too quickly
When we're together laughing
I wish I could sing it to you. whoa-oh
Wish I could sing it to you
Wo-wo-wo-wo-wo-wo-wo-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-oah
Wo-wo-wo-wo-wo-wo-wo-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-oah
Mostly I'm silent
Silent
Try and think of the right words to say
When I kiss you,
I feel a thousand different feelings,
A cover of chills
All over my body.
And when I feel them,
I quickly try to decide which one
I should try to put into words, woah-oh
Try to put into words
Wo-wo-wo-wo-wo-wo-wo-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-oah
Wo-wo-wo-wo-wo-wo-wo-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-oah
Mostly I'm silent
Silent
La-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la
Silent
Only the beginnging
Of what I want to feel forever
Yes, only the beginning
Only just the start
I've got to get you into my life, mama
Got to get you next to me
Yes, only the beginnging,
Only just the start
Hey-hey-hey-hey-hey-hey-hey
Oh, all right"
