Chicago

I love her madly
Need her badly
Don't you see
But I keep her guessing
Keep on pushing boundaries
She's so dramatic
Seems to panic
Ultimately
I want to show her
No need to go there
Honestly
She's a nice girl
No doubt about it
She shows me every day
She's a nice girl
Oh figure it out
Before she walks away
Maybe it's me
Who makes this
Harder than it needs to be
I don't like confrontation
Nothin' that makes me see
(The truth)
I like the path
Of least resistance
But it don't like me
I need to take a good look
At who's in the mirror
Staring back at me
Nice girl
Oh you better figure it out, boy
Nice girl
Nice girl
Don't you let her get away
Nice girl

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.
