"If You Leave Me Now" is a song by the American rock group Chicago, from their album Chicago X. It was written and sung by bass player Peter Cetera and released as a single on July 30, 1976. It is also the title of a Chicago compilation album released by Columbia Records (Columbia 38590) in 1983.
The single topped the Billboard Hot 100 on October 23, 1976, and stayed there for two weeks, making it the first number one hit for the group. It hit the number one on the Easy Listening charts and was also Chicago's biggest hit internationally, topping the charts in other countries such as the UK, Australia, Ireland, Canada, and Netherlands.

@markstunes I don't know Mark. I chose to sing this song on a day when I was devoid of energy , thinking a quiet song would be good but it was a challenge to sing.. Thanks once again

This is what I love about you Joyce...even not feeling well, you still took on what I consider to be a challenging song and made it your own property using your rich vocals and timing! For whatever my opinion is worth, you created a superb recording with your beautiful voice and by feeling the song. As a friend of mine would say: THIS A TWO THUMBS UP PERFORMANCE!

@jerry When it's a low energy day, we make the best of it with a softy song. I wouldn't have posted this but I figured I owed the members here a song many would know instead of my rarities. Thanks so much !!!

@joyce Hello Joyce my friend. Well what can I say, another top notch super listen from you! I have always loved this song. And no matter what I do I sound horrible singing it. Won't even give it a try even though I love it! Anyway, as always such a great pleasure as always listening to you and the girls!
