Top 20 Chicago Hits

Originally called The Big Thing, in 1967, Chicago was also known as Chicago Transit Authority, before settling on the name Chicago in 1969. Consisting of original members Robert Lamm, James Pankow, Lee Loughnane, Terry Kath, Walt Parazaider, Peter Cetera and Danny Seraphine, this jazz-oriented rock group moved to Los Angeles in the late 1960's.

Chicago first hit Billboard's weekly Top 40 charts in 1970 and continued to do so 35 times, between 1970 and 1991. Best known for their albums, Chicago had five consecutive number one albums and 25 of their 32 albums have been certified platinum. They had twenty top 10 singles and three of them went to number one.

Chicago Transit

Bass player and vocalist, Peter Cetera, has had a successful solo career since 1986, topping the charts twice and he has teamed up with Amy Grant and Cher on two top 10 singles.

The band suffered a terrible blow in 1978 when guitarist Terry Kath died at the age of 31, while playing Russian roulette.

According to their official website, Chicago has received Grammy's Lifetime Achievement Award, multiple American Music Awards and they even have their own star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame.

Below is a list of Chicago's twenty biggest hits, according to the Billboard charts:

1. Hard To Say I'm Sorry - 1982 - This song was featured in the movie "Summer Lovers."

2. If You Leave Me Now - 1976 - Their first number one single.

3. Look Away - 1988

4. Hard Habit To Break - 1984

5. You're The Inspiration - 1985

6. Will You Still Love Me? - 1987

7. I Don't Want To Live Without Your Love - 1988

8. Saturday In The Park - 1972

9. Just You 'N Me - 1973

10. 25 Or 6 To 4 - 1970 - Chicago rerecorded this song with a completely different sound in 1988, but failed to crack the weekly Top 40 with it.

11. Baby, What A Big Surprise - 1977

12. What Kind of Man Would I Be? - 1990

13. Old Days - 1975

14. Call On Me - 1974

15. Does Anybody Really Know What Time It Is? - 1970

16. Beginnings - 1971

17. Colour My World - 1971 - This was the flip side of Beginnings, but it was originally the "B" side of Make Me Smile.

18. Make Me Smile - 1970 - Their first top 40 hit.

19. (I've Been) Searchin' So Long - 1974

20. You're Not Alone - 1989

According to Billboard's latest list of Top 100 artists, Chicago was the highest scoring American band, coming in at #13.

Chicago is enjoying their latest tour in 2010.

Chicago 'L' Brown Line: Clark/Lake to Chicago/Franklin

www.actsofminortreason.com Video of a Brown Line train, taken on October 1, 2009, departing Clark/Lake station in the Loop and passing through Merchandise Mart station. Maybe the CTA will update the Chicago/Franklin station signage soon to reflect the name the announcements give it. While they're at it, maybe they can introduce a little more distinction between the four Kedzies and the five Westerns. This is a Brown Line train to Kimball.

Chicago Graffiti

Ok here is some info for all yall who askin about this video.... The original song was called "Im wit whatever" by lil wayne juelz santana and jim jones and it was off the "Biggy duets" album. You TUBE deleted on copyright. The footage is from a DVD called "The Forgotton City" shout out to that but i think these are the best parts. The main spread is NOT done by a disgruntled CTA worker. It is done by ETHER by far the best tag in the video. The spread that is done inside of the train around the middle of the video is done by AFRO42 and he passed away. So RIP The song now is "Claim to Fame" by Max B

You don't see THIS everyday! 2 NYC MTA buses on the Kennedy (I-90) in CHICAGO! WTF?!

On my way home from my job at O'Hare yesterday (1/24/2012), I saw an extremely rare sight. While stopped at the Cumberalnd station, I noticed a rare bus driving by, then another just like it that read "MTA" and "New York City Bus." I then pulled out my camera and started rolling and got the first half of the video as my train departed Cumberland, then waited for the buses to pass me at the Jefferson Park station. Both of the these stations are on the CTA's Blue Line, on the O'Hare branch. HOW is it that TWO New York City MTA buses were in Chicago driving casually through the city? This was hands-down, one of the weirdest things I've ever seen, besides ghosts, haha. Given my research, these look like New Flyer C40LF buses, which were built in Winnipeg, Manitoba or Crookston and St. Cloud, MN by New Flyer Industries, which explains them traveling east on I-90 towards NYC. Enjoy the video!

Chicago - I Don't Wanna Live Without Your Love(Subt.).avi

Chicago es, junto con Blood, Sweat & Tears (BS&T), la banda más representativa de lo que se dio en llamar Jazz Rock. Se fundó en la ciudad de su mismo nombre, en 1967, aunque inicialmente se denominó "Chicago Transit Authority", nombre que debieron recortar por problemas jurídicos con el ayuntamiento de la ciudad. El grupo aún permanece en activo en 2010. La banda estuvo integrada, inicialmente, por Lee Loughnane (trompeta), James Pankow (trombón), Walter Parazaider (saxos, flauta), Robert Lamm (voz, piano, órgano), Terry Kath (guitarra, voz), Peter Cetera (bajo, voz) y Danny Seraphine (batería, percusión). Al contrario que BS&T, Chicago mantuvo esta formación bastante estable, a lo largo de su historia. El grupo se formó en el invierno de 1967, a partir del núcleo de la banda de Kath, Parazaider y Seraphine, que se llamaba The Missing Links, durante una jam session en la Universidad DePaul, cuando se les unieron en el escenario Pankow y Loughnane. El nuevo grupo se llamó The Big Thing, y se completó poco después con Cetera y Lam. Fue éste quien embarcó a la banda en una gira a Los Ángeles, donde, ya bajo el nombre de Chicago Transit Authority, cosecharon un inesperado éxito. Ese mismo año, el productor James William Guercio, decidió tutelarlos y, por ello, renunció a producir el primer disco de BS&T, tal como le había pedido Al Kooper. Sí produjo, sin embargo, el segundo, aunque sólo después de que CBS le hubiese dado luz verde a la grabación del primer álbum de "sus ...

No Pants Subway Ride - Chicago - 2010

January 10th, 2010 - 1:00 pm At each stop on the red line train in Chicago, 5-15 passengers enter the same train from Bryn Mawr to Roosevelt, until the train is eventually packed with pantsless people that are not smiling or talking to one another. If asked why they aren't wearing pants, the pantsless must come up with a silly excuse and then continue reading or studying or listening to their iPod as if nothing were strange at all. At Roosevelt all pantsless people suddenly exit the train. This year the temperature outside was 5˚ farenheit.
