#75 - Along Comes A Woman

Artist: Chicago
Album: Chicago 17
Video: From YouTube.

Back-to-back Chicago videos.  Gotta love it.

"Along Comes A Woman" peaked at only #14 on the Billboard Hot 100, yet appears one notch ahead of "You're The Inspiration" on this countdown.  Maybe the African gambling den scenes in the video pushed it over the top.

The song is about a man who believes he is doomed to a life of loneliness, but finds salvation in an amazing Woman.  Chicago caught lightning in a bottle with this formula, harvesting several hit singles from the theme.

The video begins with Peter Cetera portraying an Indiana Jones-like character, fighting off spear chuckers in the jungle.  Then, the scene switches to an homage to Casablanca, with Cetera reprising Humphrey Bogart's "Rick" character.  Any video that combines aborigines with a splash of international intrigue is a winner in my book.

And with that, Chicago's reign over this blog is over.  Next, a different band will be featured.
