One of the most popular rock bands from the late sixties and early seventies, Chicago formed in 1967. Based out of Chicago, the band originally called themselves the Chicago Transit Authority. They first started out as a statement band, writing politically focused songs. In the seventies they changed their style to one that was more soft rock…and they quickly shot to fame.
