Chicago is second only to the Beach Boys as the most successful American rock band of all time. The group formed officially on February 15, 1967, in the city from which it eventually would take its name. The bandmembers intended to launch a rock group with a fully integrated horn section (a novel idea at the time), so the original lineup was a sextet consisting of Walter Parazaider (b. Mar. 14, 1945) on saxophone and woodwinds, Lee Loughnane
on trumpet, Terry Kath on guitar and vocals, Danny Seraphine
on drums, James Pankow on trombone, and Robert Lamm on organ and vocals. Initially, the group did without a bass player. But in December 1967, bassist/vocalist Peter Cetera
joined from rival band the Exceptions. Under the guidance of manager/producer James William Guercio, who initially named them Chicago Transit Authority (the name was shortened after the real C.T.A. objected), the group moved to Los Angeles and signed to Columbia Records, recording its debut album, Chicago Transit Authority, in 1969.
