Chicago

Stars are aglow
And tonight how their light
Sets me dreaming

My love, do you know
That your eyes are like stars
Brightly beaming
I bring you and sing you
A moonlight serenade

Let us stray
'Till break of day
In love's valley of dreams
You and I, a summer sky
A heavenly breeze kisses the trees

So don't make me wait
Come to me, tenderly
In the June light

I stand at your gate
And I sing you a song
In the moonlight
A love song, my darling
A moonlight serenade

We can stay
Till break of day
In love's valley of dreams
You and I, a summer sky
A heavenly breeze kisses the trees

So don't make me wait
Come to me, tenderly
In the June light

I stand at your gate
And I sing you a song
In the moonlight

A love song
My darling
A moonlight serenade

Oh, oh, whoa
A moonlight serenade

Oh, let it be tonight
Tonight, tonight
In the moonlight
Let it be tonight
Got to be tonight
Tonight

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.
