Chicago the band was born in 1967 in Chicago, Illinois. The band was formed at DePaul University with a group of music students who played a series of club shows as a cover band called The Big Thing. The band was famous for their versatile and varied use of instruments. In 1968 the group moved to Los Angeles and signed with Columbia Records. They then changed their name to Chicago Transit Authority. The band released their first record, which was a double album with jazz, Latin, and experimental influences. "Does Anybody Really Know What Time It Is?", "Beginnings", and "Questions 67 and 68" became the bands first popular hits and continue to be rock radio classics. The band was forced to shorten their name to simply Chicago after the actual Chicago Transit Authority threatened to sue.

Chicago released another double album entitled Chicago, which became the group's breakthrough album. The featured hit single was called "Ballet For A Girl In Buchannon" , and it was a thirteen-minute suite composed by James Pankow . "Make Me Smile" and "Colour My World", both sung soulfully by Terry Kath, were two top ten hits featured on this album. Also popular were "25 Or 6 To 4? and "It Better End Soon". When you purchase Chicago the band Tickets, you can hear these classics sung live by the band who made them famous!

Chicago's sound has evolved from politically charged and at times experimental, to softer and sweeter ballads. They were able to create music like no other band, producing more than two LP discs per year. Chicago the band Tickets sold like crazy for the recording of the Chicago at Carnegie Hall quadruple-album live set, which fell short due to poor performance and sound quality. Despite the criticism, Chicago at Carnegie Hall went on to become the best-selling box set by a rock act, and held that distinction for 15 years. In 1972 band bounced back with a single-disc release which found success on pop and jazz charts and yielded the cult classic "Saturday In the Park".

In 1976 Chicago's infamous ballad "If You Leave Me Now" became the band's first song to climb to the tops of the charts. In 1977 it won the band's only Grammy award for Best Pop Performance by a Duo or Group. Tragedy struck in 1978 with the death of then singer/guitarist/group founder Terry Kath died of an accidental self-inflicted gunshot wound. This rattled the group and lead to changes in the original roster. Current members include Robert Lamm, James Pankow, Lee Loughnane, Walter Parazaider, Jason Scheff, Tris Imboden, Keith Howland, and Lou Pardini.

Despite the personnel changes over the years, the group is still active four decades after its founding. Chicago is one of the few rock groups to never have not broken up completely or even taken prolonged break.  In 2002 Chicago released a two-disc compilation with Rhino Records entitled The Very Best of Chicago: Only the Beginning which includes music from the band's entire career.
