NowChicago

If there's something you want to say then say it now
If there's someone you want to love then love them now
You don't want to miss all this
'Cause it would be the biggest mistake of your life to never try
If there's a song you wanna sing then sing it now
If there's a life you want to live then live it now
'Cause it'll be gone, hold on
Don't you let your second chances get away, don't wait
'Cause now
This is the time we must start living in
Let's make a change while it's not too late
Let's make a place where love is happening
The world is going by
There's no greater time than now
If there's someone who needs a hand then give it now
If there's someone you want to teach then show them how
Just show 'em the light inside
The one that shows us how tomorrow's gonna be
Plant a seed
The world is going by
We can make it right
That's the reason why we're here
Open up your heart
Shine from where you are
Come together brother, sister now

Chicago

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.
