O grupo Chicago é uma das bandas norte-americanas mais populares da história do rock n’ roll, só perdendo quando comparados aos Beach Boys. O grupo foi formado em 1967 na cidade da qual acabou por retirar o seu nome. A formação inicial do grupo, inicialmente chamado de The Big Thing, incluía Walter Parazaider no saxofone, Lee Loughnane no trompete, Terry Kath na guitarra e voz, Danny Seraphine na bateria, James Pankow no trombone e Robert Lamm no orgão e voz. No começo, a banda não tinha baixista, mas em Dezembro de 1967 o baixista e vocalista Peter Cetera junta-se a eles vindo da banda rival The Exceptions. Sob a orientação do empresário e produtor James William Guercio, que inicialmente tinha dado à banda o nome de Chicago Transit Authority (nome que teve depois de ser reduzido porque o Departamento de Trânsito de Chicago não autorizou o uso do nome), a banda muda-se para Los Angeles e assina com a gravadora Columbia Records. Em 1969, é editado o seu álbum de estréia, “Chicago Transit Authority”, que vende mais de dois milhões de cópias e coloca quatro singles nas paradas musicais, fato que se repetiria ao longo da sua carreira e dos álbuns seguintes, cada um deles com uma ligeira variação na capa, na qual, ao lado do logotipo da banda, era acrescentada a numeração do respectivo disco. A música do Chicago era uma mistura de estilos, desde o rock, até à pop ligeira, incorporando elementos do jazz e música clássica. Mas depois do tema de Cetera “If You Leave Me Now” se tornar disco de ouro e chegar ao primeiro lugar das paradas em 1976, o grupo começa a compor mais baladas românticas. Da formação original ficaram apenas Robert Lamm, tecladista, e o naipe de metais, formado por Lee Loughnane, trumpetista, James Pankow, trombonista, e Walt Parazaider, saxofonista. [Fonte: wikipedia]

Chicago's music was a mixture of styles, from rock, to light pop, incorporating elements of jazz and classical music. But after Cetera theme of "If You Leave Me Now" becoming a gold record and reach the first place of the charts in 1976, the group begins to compose more romantic ballads. The original training were only Robert Lamm, keyboardist, and the horn section, consisting of Lee Loughnane, trumpet player, James Pankow, trombonist, and Walt Parazaider, saxophonist.
