Does Anybody Really Know What Time It Is - Chicago (band) - MP3 instrumental karaoke

Chicago’s “Does Anybody Really Know What Time It Is?”, written by Robert Lamm, is a cornerstone of their debut album, Chicago Transit Authority, released in 1969. Though it was recorded early in the band’s career, the track wasn't released as a single until October 1970, following the commercial success of "Make Me Smile" and "25 or 6 to 4." The song blends jazz fusion with rock, creating a vibrant, horn-driven arrangement that became a hallmark of Chicago’s sound. Lyrically, Lamm explores society's obsession with time, challenging its significance in daily life and reflecting a broader philosophical perspective. The track opens with an intricate piano solo and gradually builds into an energetic ensemble performance, showcasing the band’s musical depth and innovation. The single peaked at number 7 on the Billboard Hot 100 and number 2 in Canada, marking Chicago's third consecutive Top 10 hit. Its combination of thought-provoking lyrics and dynamic instrumentation has ensured its status as one of the band’s most enduring classics.
