Released in 1972, Chicago’s hit “Saturday in the Park” still warms the cockles of our collective hearts to this day. Robert Lamm wrote the song after a stroll through Manhattan’s Central Park on the 4th of July, inspired by the vibrant celebrations taking place throughout there. Bottling the carefree feelings of summer into a light-hearted jam, “Saturday in the Park” sets the mood for this weekend’s 4th of July festivities.
