Chicago

With this Frankincense
And this Gold and Myrrh
We are traveling so far

For a vision of one child
Born of love
We are following this star

So, the three of us travel
'Round the world
We are riding toward one dream

In the darkest night
We see heaven's light
Shining on the new born king

What's that star that's shining
Oh, so bright
What's this road
That we must follow
Why this little town
These three men, so wise
Who's this child
That we must follow
Here to Bethlehem

There's a song to sing
And a tale to tell
And a world to rise above
So, we're traveling here to Israel
Just to find this child of love

What's that star that's shining
Oh, so bright
What's this road
That we must follow
Why this little town
These three men, so wise
Who's this child
That we must follow
Here to Bethlehem

What's that star that's shining
Oh, so bright
What's this road
That we must follow
Why this little town
These three men, so wise
Who's this child
That we must follow
Here to Bethlehem
Here to Bethlehem

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.
