Sherbert is NOT and NEVER WILL BE ice cream.
Terry Kath's "Free Form Guitar" was also on that album. And although it isn't quite one of my favorites on it, I liked his other stuff and it was obvious the band went downward after his death.
Free Form Guitar was for guitar nuts of that era. I'm sure those people were impressed with the sounds he achieved. I've probably sat through it exactly one time. But it symbolized that the band was willing to forego loading-up their albums with just pop tunes.
One of the great things about early Chicago, is how they rotated lead singers, between Robert Lamm's smooth sound, Peter Cetera's soaring high pitch, and Terry Kath's gritty low voice. Kath was around all the way up through Chicago XI. But Chicago IX was their first greatest hits album, and after that, they went with a total Peter Cetera driven pop sound. So Kath was at odds with the band at the time of his death.

On October 7 1977, Queen's We Are The Champions from their upcoming News Of The World album was released as a single. We Will Rock You was the B-side. Most stations played the two songs as a medley. In Los Angeles, We Will Rock You/We Are The Champions spent six weeks at #2 on the KHJ Thirty in January-February 1978 while Baby Come Back, then Stayin' Alive and then Emotion were number one.
Here is Queen's performance of We Will Rock You (with drums and electric guitar) from their December 11 1977 concert at The Summit in Houston:
