Old Days (1975) |
Brand New Love Affair (1975) |
"Old Days" is a song written by James Pankow for the group Chicago and recorded for their album Chicago VIII (1975), with lead vocals by Peter Cetera. The second single released from that album, it reached #5 on the U.S. Billboard Hot 100.
Pankow has said that the song is a nostalgic piece about his childhood:
- "It touches on key phrases that, although they date me, are pretty right-on in terms of images of my childhood. 'The Howdy Doody Show' on television and collecting baseball cards and comic books." [1]
The song is still popular at Chicago concerts, with Jason Scheff or Keith Howland now singing the lead vocal.
"Old Days" is featured on the soundtrack of the movie Starsky & Hutch (2004).
