"Wishing You Were Here" is a song written by Peter Cetera for the group Chicago and recorded for their album Chicago VII (1974), with lead vocals by Terry Kath (uncredited for some reason), while Cetera sang the song's bridge. The third single released from that album, it reached #11 on the U.S. Billboard Hot 100 and hit #1 on the Hot Adult Contemporary Tracks chart. The Beach Boys were at Caribou Ranch when "Wishing You Were Here" was recorded, and three members of that band -- Al Jardine, Carl Wilson, and Dennis Wilson -- joined Cetera to provide back-up harmonies on the recording [1].
