Chicago

[Verse]
Oh what a beautiful night
The stars are shining bright
I've not been feeling right
Not been feeling right
I've not been feeling right
Soon it's gonna change
Time to rearrange
Stop this acting strange
Found us a beautiful place
Perfect and tiny space
And now we can retrace
Now we can retrace
Now we can retrace
All we have begun
New oblivion
Having lots of fun
Guitar
Got to get back inside
Dreams and thoughts collide
Say you found this crazy
Say you found this crazy
Say you found this crazy
Life
Please be good to me
Last chance to be free
This mountain majesty is rediscovery

Chicago is a rock band hailing from the Illinois city of the same name. With its multitude of certified gold and platinum hits, the band has had enough longevity to last for over fifty years.

Chicago was formed on February 15, 1967, between keyboardist/singer Robert Lamm, trumpeter Lee Loughnane, saxophonist Walter Parazaider, drummer Danny Seraphine, guitarist Terry Kath, and trombonist James Pankow. The group called themselves “The Big Thing,” and played Top 40 hits in nightclubs in Chicago. In 1968, the band relocated to Los Angles, and changed their name to Chicago Transit Authority. They gained massive amounts of exposure to famous musicians of the time by regularly playing at the Whiskey A Go Go nightclub. In 1969, they released a self-titled album which peaked at No. 17 on the Billboard Hot 200 chart. The next year, the band shortened their name to “Chicago” to avoid a lawsuit from the actual company of the same name.

The band has released a plethora of albums, most of them titled Chicago enumerated with Roman numerals. The band changed its sound in the late 70s and 80s following the death of Terry Kath. Since then, the band has still carried on a legacy for the decades following, but has slowed the release of original music to a trickle.
