Chicago在美国本地摇滚乐队的历史上,他们是仅次于the Beach Boys的成功团体(此说法有待考证)。乐队成立的最初动机是,成立一支以管乐为主的摇滚乐队,这在当时是个很有创意的想法,于是萨克斯手和木管乐手Walter Parazaider、小号手Lee Loughnane、吉他手兼主唱Terry Kath、鼓手Danny Seraphine、长号手James Pankow和风琴手兼歌手Robert Lamm组成了这支六人乐队。一开始,乐队是没有低音吉他手的,后来在1967年底,贝司手兼歌手Peter Cetera从乐队的竞争对手the Exceptions那里加入了过来。在乐队的经纪人和制作人James William Guercio的指导下,乐队取名Chicago Transit Authority(芝加哥运输当局),不过在真正的芝加哥运输当局提出抗议后乐队很快改称现名。1969年1月,乐队前往洛杉矶并签约于Columbia唱片公司,随后录制了首张专辑《Chicago Transit Authority》,结果处女专辑便一举卖掉了200万张,专辑中产生了四首上榜单曲,此后便是连续十年的辉煌历史。乐队早期的唱片有一个独特的习惯,从《Chicago》开始,乐队的每一张录音室专辑大多都是以乐队标志的不同变形作为封面,同时以罗马数字作为专辑标题,由于罗马数字不便辨认,后来出得多了,便又用上了阿拉伯数字,直至1999年的26。Chicago的音乐在风格上是比较杂的,从硬摇滚到柔和的流行乐,从爵士到古典均有涉猎。但当Cetera创作的“If You Leave Me Now”成为黄金销量的NO.1金曲后,浪漫的情歌便成了乐队的招牌曲风。1977年乐队与经纪人兼制作人Guercio发生了分歧并各奔东西,次年Kath又意外身亡,这导致了乐队开始走下坡。但在1982年,乐队以闻名的“Hard to Say I'm Sorry”东山再起,专辑《Chicago 16》也获得了百万销量,乐队又继续风光了几年。1985年Cetera退出了乐队开始个人发展。进入九十年代后,乐队对新的听众已失去了吸引力,成为了人们怀旧的对象。

歌词:
Everybody needs a little time away
I heard her say
From each other
Even lovers need a holiday
Far away
From each other
Hold me now
It&#39;s hard for me to say I&#39;m sorry
I just want you to stay
After all that we&#39;ve been through
I will make it up to you
I promise to
And after all that&#39;s been said and done
You&#39;re just the part of me I can&#39;t let go
Couldn&#39;t stand to be kept away
Just for the day
From your body
Wouldn&#39;t wanna be swept away
Far away
From the one that I love
Hold me now
It&#39;s hard for me to say I&#39;m sorry
I just want you to know
Hold me now
I really want to tell you I&#39;m sorry
I could never let you go
After all that we&#39;ve been through
I will make it up to you
I promise to
And after all that&#39;s been said and done
You&#39;re just the part of me I can&#39;t let go
After all that we&#39;ve been through
I will make it up to you
I promise to
You&#39;re gonna be the lucky one
When we get there gonna jump in the air
No one&#39;ll see us &#39;cause there&#39;s nobody there
After all, you know we really don&#39;t care
Hold on, I&#39;m gonna take you there
