Chicago was one of the most successful bands of the rock era, racking up 21
Billboard Top Ten hits between 1970 and 1990, a period where they survived
the departure of key band members while also subtly adapting to changing
times. That's not an easy task for any rock band and it's especially
difficult for a group like Chicago, a band that placed equal (if not
greater) emphasis on horns as guitar.

Picking up where Blood, Sweat & Tears left off, Chicago initially
specialized in jazz-inflected prog-rock, using the sides of a vinyl record
as canvasses for sprawling, adventurous rock. Chicago quickly learned how
to channel this expansive sound into concise pop songs, scoring hits in the
early 1970's with such punchy tunes as "25 Or 6 To 4" and "Beginnings,"
while also showing facility with sweeter melodies on "Does Anybody Really
Know What Time It Is" and "Saturday In The Park".

As the decade progressed, the band began to emphasize their softer side
with bassist Peter Cetera singing such mellow standards as "If You Leave Me
Now", "Baby, What A Big Surprise" and "Hard To Say I'm Sorry". The band
stayed in this lane after Cetera's departure in the mid-1980's, not missing
a beat with new lead vocalist BIll Champlin; he sang the number one hit
"Look Away", as well as "I Don't Wanna Live Without Your Love" and "Look
Away".

Hits dried up in the 1990's but Chicago remained a pop/rock institution,
with original members keyboardist Robert Lamm, trumpeter Lee Loughnane and
trombonist James Pankow leading a rotating cast of supporting members
through regular tours and albums.
