Chicago was formed in 1967 and originally named Chicago Transit Authority. It's no surprise that the band's home city reflects their title. The band's name is explained in a song from their very first album: 'If you must call them something, speak of the city where all save one were born, where all of them were schooled and bred. Call them Chicago.'
The city of Chicago proved to be a great influence on the musicians that eventually formed the band of the same name. Its roots in jazz led the young musicians to their hit sound. The band of hippies with horns started on the road to fame with a jazz-rock sound and the backing of manager James William Guercio.

Terry Kath played lead guitar and was backed by keyboardist Robert Lamm (who also wrote lyrics), bassist Peter Cetera, and horn players Lee Loughnane, James Pankow, and Walter Parazaider. Their first album became an immediate hit and began their tradition of naming their albums using Roman numerals instead of actual names.
The vocals of Kath and Cetera were accented by the powerful horn section, and Kath's jazz-rock guitar riffs were hard to beat. The songs were semi-political which appealed to the pop audience of the time, so it was no surprise when Chicago's records began climbing the charts and receiving heavy radio-play. The band released more albums, all sporting the Roman numeral titles, throughout the 70s and received praise from the masses and the media.
