| - American pop/jazz-rock group. One of the biggest-selling bands in U.S. history, hailing from the Windy City (Chicago, Illinois). Formed in 1967 as %22The Big Thing%22, they were one of the first groups to successfully fuse rock with a horn section. This blend worked well for them into the late 1970s, until they started to shift towards a more adult-contemporary style, with bassist Peter Cetera becoming the main vocalist. They haven't put out much original material in recent years but tour to the masses every year since they started. In dance music circles, they are best known for their minor hit, %22Streetplayer%22, which Kenny %22Dope%22 Gonzalez sampled for his 1995 track, %22The Bomb!%22 (released under the alias of Bucketheads). Members: Peter Cetera, Robert Lamm, Terry Kath, Danny Seraphine, James Pankow, Lee Loughnane, Walter Parazaider, Laudir De Oliveira, Donnie Dacus, Bill Champlin, Chris Pinnick, Jason Scheff, DaWayne Bailey, Tris Imboden, Keith Howland, Drew Hester, Lou Pardini.NOTE: When dating reissues and repressing - The cursive (trademarked) %22Chicago TM%22 logo starts to appear after 1976 on labels (as seen here) [r=941537] Pre-1975 USA pressings do not show the cursive logo until after 1976.

| - Chicago is an American rock band formed in 1967 in Chicago, Illinois. The self-described %22rock and roll band with horns%22 began as a politically charged, sometimes experimental, rock band and later moved to a predominantly softer sound, generating several hit ballads. The group had a steady stream of hits throughout the 1970s and 1980s. Second only to The Beach Boys in Billboard singles and albums chart success among American bands, Chicago is one of the longest-running and most successful rock groups, and one of the world's best-selling groups of all time, having sold more than 100 million records.According to Billboard, Chicago was the leading US singles charting group during the 1970s. They have sold over 40 million units in the US, with 23 gold, 18 platinum, and 8 multi-platinum albums. Over the course of their career they have had five number-one albums and 21 top-ten singles.
