Chicago
Chicago is known as a "rock and roll band with horns." They were formed in 1967 in Chicago as a cover band under the name "The Big Thing." After beginning to write their own songs, the group changed their name to "Chicago Transit Authority," eventually shortening it to simply "Chicago." They are considered one of the longest-running and most successful rock groups in history. Chicago is one of the world's best-selling groups of all time, having sold over 100 million records including 23 gold, 18 platinum, and 8 multi-platinum albums. They have produced 5 number one albums and 21 top-ten singles. The band was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2016 and original members Peter Cetera, Robert Lamm, and James Pankow were inducted into the 2017 Songwriters Hall of Fame.
