Chicago (band)
American rock band
Chicago is an American rock band formed in Chicago, Illinois in 1967.
Self-described as a "rock and roll band with horns," their songs often also combine elements of classical music, jazz, R&B, and pop music.
Growing out of several bands from the Chicago area in the late 1960s, the original line-up consisted of Peter Cetera on bass, Terry Kath on guitar, Robert Lamm on keyboards, Lee Loughnane on trumpet, James Pankow on trombone, Walter Parazaider on woodwinds, and Danny Seraphine on drums.
Cetera, Kath, and Lamm shared lead vocal duties.
This book traces the founding, recording history, and musical impact of one of the world's most innovative and long-lasting rock bands, Chicago.
The group initially called themselves The Big Thing, then changed to the Chicago Transit Authority in 1968, and finally shortened the name to Chicago in 1969.[1]
Laudir de Oliveira joined the band as a percussionist and second drummer in 1974.
Kath died in 1978 and was replaced by several guitarists in succession. Bill Champlin joined in 1981, providing vocals, keyboards, and rhythm gu
