Talk:If You Leave Me Now

message: Editorial comments such as "From its lyrics, If You Leave Me Now is an appropriate theme in helping quarrelling couples to patch up,sort things out and avoid future quarrels!" do not belong in Wiki articles as they are editorial in nature.  --Cholmes75 16:22, 3 August 2005 (UTC)

message: the source article may list 5 songs but the bellamy brothers' song is actually disco too - as disco as 'rock the boat' and 'rock your baby', two songs supposed to be the pioneering disco tunes. so we this word (number) can be changed to 'four', especially given the article doesn't uses a number - only a list.

message: "It also bears the distinction of being the only Chicago single featuring acoustic guitars as its accompaniment..." How about the acoustic guitars on "Wishing You Were Here?" -- Gyrofrog  (talk) 05:28, 3 February 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: For that matter there are acoustic guitars on "Baby What a Big Surprise" and I suspect I'll hear more the longer I listen to the records I have on hand. Maybe I just don't understand what the editor meant by "featuring acoustic guitars?" (It's not as though there are no other instruments on the song.) -- Gyrofrog  (talk) 05:33, 3 February 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  Acoustic guitars 

message: Chicago's been doing some tours recently with Earth, Wind and Fire, and one of the EWF members has been singing the song in the kind of high tenor voice that just makes you go "Oooooh, that's powerful."  I believe the same EWF guy (whose name I don't know) even performed the song on a recent Chicago album.  Should someone with a better knowledge of this subject add this information to the article?  Does anyone think it's information worthy of being put into the article?  Any other thoughts?  ekedolphin 04:26, 5 April 2006 (UTC)

message: According to source 21, Terry "never played it live", but that's not true, as you can see here: . I think there should be a correction.   — Preceding unsigned comment added by 189.146.109.231 (talk) 02:43, 23 January 2020 (UTC)

message: I remember seeing the song's video on MTV's Pop-up Video, where it was described as a plea by Cetera for reconciliation with his wife at the time, who nevertheless went ahead and divorced him. Can anybody verify this? RobertGustafson (talk) 08:18, 26 December 2011 (UTC)
thread_title:  Meaning of song 

message: This page used to have a fascinating discussion of how this song represented a new direction for Chicago, away from the horn based music towards more sentimental ballads.  The song was a turning point in the band's history and everyone in the band had a different reaction to the song.  
What happened to that interesting stuff?  Why would anyone edit that out?  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Renfield1031 (talk • contribs) 21:31, 24 June 2014 (UTC)

message: Why does the Chess version deserve its own section in the article, instead of being included in "Other Cover Versions"? Also, there are no citations given for most of the information in that section. The section looks mostly like the opinion of the writer, which I would classify as "original research" which is not allowed by Wikipedia per ""Wikipedia:No original research" at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:No_original_research

thread_title: Chess Version

message: It's not on the SecondHandSongs website, but I once heard this version in a club, love the chorus arrangements and never forgot about it. 
Looked for it for 19 (!) years and finally found it.
For that reason alone, this version should be mentioned.
