Chicago is an American rock band formed in Chicago, Illinois, in 1967.
The group began calling themselves the Chicago Transit Authority in 1968, then shortened the name in 1969. Self-described as a “rock and roll band with horns”, Chicago‘s songs often combine elements of classical music, jazz, R&B, and pop music.
In 2017, Peter Cetera, Robert Lamm, and James Pankow were elected to the Songwriters Hall of Fame for their songwriting efforts as members of the music group. Chicago received a Grammy Lifetime Achievement Award on October 16, 2020.

Chicago’s first self-titled album sold more than two million copies and spawned four chart singles, beginning a string of massive hits that lasted to the end of the decade, with each album cover sporting a variation on the Chicago logo and a sequential title with a roman numeral: Chicago II, Chicago III, etc.
Chicago’s music was a combination of many varying styles, from hard rock to light pop, and often included elements of jazz and classical.
Following Peter Cetera‘s gold-selling #1 hit in 1976, “If You Leave Me Now,” the group became more identified with romantic ballads than anything else. Chicago went into decline after a split with Guercio in 1977 and the accidental death of Kath in 1978, but it quickly rebounded in 1982 with “Hard to Say I’m Sorry” and the million-selling “Chicago 16,” and was able to sustain its renewed popularity despite Peter Cetera‘s departure for a solo career in 1985.
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.
