Prima DonnaChicago

[Verse 1]
You've got the look they'll never forget
You wanna be noticed - but they haven't noticed yet
When the time is right - a star on your door
Taking you places that you've never been before
Where did you go?
Go to sleep tonight and dream about it until the morning

[Chorus]
Make a scene tonight and read about it in the morning
Appearing for the very first time
On the screen tonight and when you wanna
They treat you like a Prima Donna

[Verse 2]
You're a movie queen - familiar face
Prettiest woman in the whole of the human race
You're gonna be famous - you wanna go far
(Your) name up in lights - everybody knows who you are
On with the show

[Chorus]

[Verse 3]
(How) will it feel being number one
Hard to imagine but I can't blame you for trying
How will it feel having so much fun
Hard to imagine but it's so electrifying

[Chorus]

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.
