Perhaps more than any other city in the United States, Chicago, located at the center of the nation, has reflected the cultural diversity that has served as both a nurturer of significant musical talent and a magnet that drew the best from other areas. Jazzman Lionel Hampton arrived in Chicago when he was 11 years old in 1919, blues man Muddy Water...
Most pop stars who emerged in the 1960’s will tell you that they got their inspiration by seeing Elvis Presley perform on TV in the ’50’s. But Walter Parazaider, born in Chicago on March 14, 1945, had a slightly different experience. “I started playing when I was nine years old because I saw Benny Goodman on The Ed Sullivan Show,” he says. “I was a...
Parazaider’s current band at the time was the Missing Links, which featured a very talented guy named Terry Kath on bass. Kath, born in Chicago on January 31, 1946, had been a friend of Parazaider’s and Guercio’s since they were teenagers. On drums was Danny Seraphine, born in Chicago on August 28, l948 , who had been raised in Chicago’s Little Ita...
The Big Thing played its first engagement at the GiGi A-Go-Go in Lyons, Illinois, in March 1967. In June, July, and August, the band appeared in Peoria, Sioux Falls, South Dakota, Rockford, and Indianapolis. But the most important early gig was a week-long stand at Shula’s Club in Niles, Michigan, from August 29 to September 3. In Niles, they arran...
The band, now renamed Chicago Transit Authority by Guercio in honor of the bus line he used to ride to school, was in a creative fervor. Kath, Pankow, and especially Lamm were writing large amounts of original material, with Lamm completing two of the group’s most memorable songs, “Questions 67 and 68” and “Does Anybody Really Know What Time It Is?...
In January 1969, when the group flew to New York to begin work on its first album, it faced two problems it knew nothing about. The first was that, because the Guercio-produced Blood, Sweat and Tears LP at first appeared to be a flop (though it later became a spectacular hit), the status of his new project, CTA, suffered: The label curtailed the am...
By December 1969, Chicago Transit Authority, still without benefit of a hit single, was a gold-selling album, and Chicago was a famous band. It changed their lives. “Your life dream is to have a hit record,” says Parazaider. “It was amazing because we were close friends, we had gone through all of this upheaval of leaving Chicago, moving to L.A. at...
When it was released in January 1970, the second album, instead of featuring a picture of the band on the cover and a title drawn from one of the songs, had the band’s distinctive logo on the cover and was called Chicago II. From the start, Chicago took a conceptual approach to the way it was presented to the public. The album covers were overseen ...
Chicago’s next studio album marked a change from its first three studio works in a number of respects. For one thing, Chicago V, released in July 1972, was only a single album. For another, the lengthy instrumental excursions of past records had been cut down, leaving nine relatively tightly arranged songs. James Pankow offers an explanation for th...
Chicago began work on its next album August 1, 1974, at Caribou Ranch, and the results started to emerge in February 1975, with the release of the single “Harry Truman,” Lamm’s tribute to a president America could trust and a reference to the recently concluded Watergate scandal. Pankow wrote the sentimental “Old Days.” “It’s a memorabilia song, it...
Oct 19, 2021 · All 10 members of Chicago bounded onto the stage like it was their first time. It was not. I mean as far from “not” as a band can get. Thanks to this show and more to follow (along with shows in the first quarter of 2020), Chicago have not missed a calendar year of live performances since they first formed in the Windy City in 1967.
