Saturday in the Park - 2002 Remaster

Chicago's main songwriter, Robert Lamm, wrote this song after a particularly exhilarating 4th of July spent in New York's Central Park, where there were steel drum players, singers, dancers and jugglers. Lamm and Peter Cetera sang lead on the track.

Robert Lamm based the melody of this song on "You Won't See Me" by The Beatles, something he openly admitted.

Like most Chicago singles, "Saturday In The Park" didn't chart in the UK. In America, however, it was their biggest chart hit to that point and also their first Gold single, which at the time meant selling more than a million copies ("25 Or 6 To 4" somehow was never certified Gold).
