Will You Still Love Me?

Mega hit Will You Still Love me was Chicago’s first top-10 hit after the departure of Peter Cetera, and featured the vocals of Peter’s replacement, Jason Scheff. The song was kept from rising to #1 only by the impenetrable powerhouse “Living on a Prayer” by Bon Jovi. The song has become a staple of weddings, and has been covered numerous times, most notably by Michele Williams of Destiny’s Child fame. Jason Scheff via A Chicago Story: When I first joined the band, they put all of their confidence in me and never looked back. They invested in me as the future of the franchise. There were a lot of people who were skeptical. ‘Will You Still Love Me?‘ was a big hit, and then I finally felt comfortable that I was in.
