Hailed as one of the "most important bands in music since the dawn of the rock and roll era" by former President Bill Clinton, the legendary rock and roll band with horns, Chicago, is the first American rock band to chart Top 40 albums in six decades.
In March of 2013, Chicago's two-disc bestseller, The Very Best Of Chicago, Only The Beginning charted at #1 on two Billboard charts: the Catalog Chart, and the Digital Catalog chart.
In Billboard Magazine's list of Top 100 artists of all time, Chicago came in at #13, the highest charting American band.
Lifetime achievements include a Grammy Award, multiple American Music Awards, a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame, a Chicago street dedicated in their honor, and keys to and proclamations from an impressive list of US cities. Record sales top the 100,000,000 mark, and include 21 Top 10 singles, 5 consecutive Number One albums, 11 Number One singles and 5 Gold singles. An incredible 25 of their 34 albums have been certified platinum, and the band has a total of 47 gold and platinum awards.
Chicago have toured every year since the beginning - they've never missed a year.
The line-up includes original band members Robert Lamm on keyboards, vocals, Lee Loughnane on trumpet, James Pankow on trombone and Walt Parazaider on woodwinds, as well as Jason Scheff on bass, vocals, Tris Imboden on drums, Keith Howland on guitar, Lou Pardini on keyboards, vocals and Wally Reyes on percussion.
Chicago have generously supported numerous charitable causes in the past, donating a portion of ticket sales to support finding a cure for a fatal children's disease and an organization that serves children and adults with special needs.
For the past four years, they have raised money to fight breast cancer for the American Cancer Society by having a winning bidder come on stage and sing "If You Leave Me Now" at every concert. The band has raised over a quarter of a million dollars for the American Cancer Society.
