Chicago

I think it's time for you to lose that cynical suit now
You worn it out and man, it just don't fit you no more
And don't you try to deceive me
You know that you can believe me
If you're man enough you're gonna hear the bitter truth
So, won't you come on?
Something's coming, I know
Something's coming, it shows
Something's coming, I know
You disappointing everyone just messin' around now
It's clear enough, you know, we're all running clean out of time
Don't want to ever grieve you
Have a bunch of us bereave you
And if you're man enough you're gonna hear the bitter truth
So, won't you come on?
Something's coming, I know
Something's coming, it shows
Something's coming, I know, believe me now
Something's rounding the bend
Something always coms in the end
Something's coming, I know
And when your children ask about your life
And all the memories you might make tonight
You forsake tonight
Nothing lasts forever

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.
