Just You 'n' Me


"Just You 'n' Me" is a song written by James Pankow for the group Chicago and recorded for their fifth studio album Chicago VI. The lead vocals are sung by bassist Peter Cetera.

Background

The second single released from that album, it was more successful than the first single, "Feelin' Stronger Every Day", reaching #4 on the U.S. Billboard Hot 100 and #1 on the Cash Box Top 100. Walter Parazaider plays a soprano saxophone solo during the instrumental section while guitarist Terry Kath uses a wah-wah pedal and phase shifter on his guitar.
"Just You 'n' Me" was written after a fight between Pankow and his future wife Karen:
Billboard called it one of Chicago's "best singles ever," with a "heartfelt and mature" love lyric.
"Just You 'n' Me" was the very last song played by Chicago radio station WLS before switching to a talk radio format in 1989.
