@@dgemon3476 Diane wrote it but Bill gave it life by singing it Nobody else can sing this song except Bill Champlain there are a few others too he rocks You're Not Alone oh and he and Jason together on Explain it to my heart also Hard Habit Cetera was great but the ending on that one Bill brought it home
Bill is one of the most underrated musicians who’s lived, imo. I had the honor of meeting him on his way to a show in Boston. He stopped, took a pic with me, talked, and headed off. A talented musician and a class act.
@@asphaltcowboy7567 Bill and Jason were the best of Chicago! Chicago has always been amazing,But they were the best,and please stop talking about your nuts,we don't care! LOL
When Peter Cetera left Chicago I thought the band was over but Bill Champlin came in and the band born again, what a fantastic voice of this man and 2 or 3 songs became a total hits around the world.
Great song, great lyrics, and every member of the band is absolutely on song, but Bill Champlin's vocals are the icing on the cake, so much emotion. Brilliant, thanks for posting.
i don't think I've heard a better Look Away! Bill masterfully caresses, cries and growls out unsurpassed vocals. Dawayne's guitar work is majestic! Jesus! The entire band knocks this out of the park! And how bout the way he makes eye contact with all across the front row, locks seductive eyes on some lucky person and sings in a breathless voice. slays it!
This is by far Bill's best live performance and his best lead vocal for Chicago. He kept this band alive after Peter left. I didn't care for his 'scatting' in later years and changing the tune of the song, but honestly I think he was just board singing things the same way every night.
Oscar Bolanos, you feel old. I was 9 when this song was released and it's my favorite by any artist ever!!! I recently got tickets to see them in may and I am sooo excited!!!
I love the way Bill performs. He is a masterful singer and sure uses a great range, and such powerful feelings are in each single note. Cutie. Looks way different from Sons of Champlin!
Yes, he's got good movement and knows how to project his voice Kurt Russell happens to be my favorite actor from childhood. I saw him when he was a teenager in all his Disney films. Kurt is more rugged now and I do see a flash of him in Bill! Both cool dudes!
Thank you Bill. This was a treat to watch. You’re overall look, growling voice, passion and range on this song are A+++. Have heard the recording version many times over the years since the 80s and this is my new all time favorite by Chicago or anyone in it. I have this saved on loop. Thank you for this performance!! Very special. Kids , this is a great example of 80s music that those of us old to remember cherish. i think Simon Cowell would of given you golden ticket for this
IF yous guys like Bill Champlin check out his first band The Sons of Champlin first Lp Loosin up Naturally and Circle Filled with Love (similar to Chicago songs like Look Away) and Bills solo Lp Runaway
Bill saved this band. Music was changing as it does especially coming out of the 70’s ..He bridged tbe gap from the sad passing of Terry to the new era of MTV.. Amazing talent….
Peter Cetrea was gone by 1985. Jason Scheff was the vocalist from 1985-2016. This Sing was song by Bill Chaplain in 1988. for Chicago 19. Made Billboard 1 Hit for 1989
Written by Diane Warren for Chicago. The song, which features Bill Champlin on lead vocals, topped the Billboard Hot 100 for two weeks in December 1988. This track was the top-ranked song on the 1989 year-end Billboard Hot 100 chart.. ♫♪♫♥
This was my favorite line up with Bill, Jason, and Bailey rocking Chicago until the Brass and Lamm decided to hire karaoke singers and house band players.
Peter Cetera left in 1985, this song was on Chicago 19 (1988) for those who are all screwed up Bill Champlin was the original singer on the album track. He is also singing in here live, The person who wrote this song is Ballad/Sap writer Diane Warren. Holy Shit how many times can you write a ballad and try to pass it off as something different. Chicago had a song from the 21 album called Chasin The Wind. Could care less about the lyrics!!! what makes the song is an absolute 10 out of 10 powerful vocal from Bill. Look Away pales in comparison.
Chasin' was supposed to be the follow-up to Look Away; same style and use of 8th notes; if you listen to the intro to each song they sound similar, plus there is a key change 2/3 into the song!
Always thought he made the perfect compliment to whoever the lead singer was at the time, and as someone suffering with hair loss, what a head of hair. 😳
When you called me up this morning Told me about the new love you found I said, "I'm happy for you I'm really happy for you" Found someone else I guess I won't be comin' 'round I guess it's over, baby It's really over, baby, whoa-oh And from what you said I know you've gotten over me It'll never be the way it used to be So if it's gotta be this way Don't worry, baby I can take the news, okay But if you see me walking by And the tears are in my eyes Look away, baby, look away If we meet on the streets someday And I don't know what to say Look away, baby, look away Don't look at me I don't want you to see me this way When we both agreed as lovers We were better off as friends That's how it had to be Yeah, that's how it had to be I tell you I'm fine But sometimes I just pretend Wish you were holding me Wish you were still holding me, oh-oh, oh I just never thought That I would be replaced so soon I wasn't prepared To hear those words from you I know I wanted to be free Yeah, baby, this is how we wanted it to be But if you see me walking by And the tears are in my eyes Look away, baby, look away And if we meet on the streets someday And I don't know what to say Look away, baby, look away Don't look at me I don't want you to see me this way If you see me walking by And the tears are in my eyes Look away, baby, look away If we meet on the streets someday And I don't know what to say Look away, baby, look away Don't look at me I don't want you to see me If you see me walking by And the tears are in my eyes Look away, baby, look away Don't look at me I don't want you to see me When you called me up this morning Told me about the new love you found I said, "I'm happy for you I'm really happy for you"
@@hollijones-white506 very true,each era was special I was a little young to enjoy Those three,and I always have a bad taste about Cetera leavening the group
@@Dboys122 dum dum, Peter Cetera didn't leave, he was fired. Do some research. They literally fired him via certified mail. The bad taste you have is believing the 1990's version of Chicago is anywhere near the level of the original. You should be banned for this take. Disgraceful. If you're too young to play, then go home.
