Chicago is a rock band that was formed in 1967 in Chicago, Illinois. In the bands debut, they began as a politically charged, sometimes experimental rock band headed by the three-headed monster of singer/guitarist Terry Kath, singer/bassist Peter Cetera and singer/keyboardist Robert Lamm. The band featured an unusual and unusually versatile line-up of instrumentalists, including saxophonist Walter Parazaider, trombonist James Pankow, and trumpet player Lee Loughnane, along with more traditional rock instruments — guitarist Terry Kath, keyboardist Robert Lamm, drummer Danny Seraphine, and bassist Peter Cetera (who was the last to join the original group). The bands original name was 'The Big Thing', which changed to 'Chicago Transit Authority' when their first album "The Chicago Transit Authority" was released. Soon after the album's release, the band's name was shortened to simply 'Chicago', when the actual Chicago Transit Authority threatened legal action.

A Hit By Varese Lyrics

Chicago

Please wont you sing me
A thing that will bring me right into the sky
If you would play it
Just lay it down, say, it will help me get by
Something to move me
Remove me and grove me, you want to know why?
Im so tired of oldies
And moldies and goldies, that I want to cry
Can you play free
Or in three or agree to attempt something new
The people need you
A seed that will lead to a hit by varese
