With a reception similar to its predecessor, ''Chicago 19'' became a success on the album chart, going platinum and yielding hit singles. The album includes "[[Look Away]]" (No. 1), "[[I Don't Wanna Live Without Your Love]]" (No. 3), and "You're Not Alone" (No. 10). A slightly remixed version of Jason Scheff's "[[What Kind of Man Would I Be?]]" (No. 5) would also be successful in late 1989, as part of the follow-up ''Greatest Hits 1982-1989'' release.

Chicago 19 is the sixteenth studio album by American rock band Chicago, released on June 20, 1988. After recording Chicago 18 with David Foster, the band worked primarily with producers Ron Nevison and Chas Sandford for this album. Their Full Moon Records imprint moved to Reprise Records. This is the final album to feature the band's original drummer Danny Seraphine, who was dismissed from the group in 1990.

Background

[edit]

With a reception similar to its predecessor, Chicago 19 became a success on the album chart, going platinum and yielding several hit singles. The album includes "Look Away" (No. 1), "I Don't Wanna Live Without Your Love" (No. 3), and "You're Not Alone" (No. 10). A remixed version of Jason Scheff's "What Kind of Man Would I Be?" (No. 5) would also be successful in late 1989 as part of the follow-up Greatest Hits 1982-1989 release. The album relied heavily on outside writers with five of its ten compositions. The first two singles were either written or co-written by Diane Warren, and the third by British-born songwriter Jimmy Scott.[6]

After the tour for Chicago 19, original drummer Danny Seraphine was fired from the band for undisclosed reasons. Session drummer Tris Imboden then joined the band, in time to record "Explain It to My Heart" (the last song recorded for the album) on Twenty 1.
