from: Chicago Transit Authority

The first track on the first album.

The actual Chicago Transit Authority sued them and they then became plain "Chicago."

The track title is actually a perfect representation of what these guys are doing: introducing themselves, first with a few lines of lyrics, then the various styles of "rock 'n roll with brass" -- something very novel in 1969 ... of course there was already Blood, Sweat & Tears and later Dreams ...

As of 2022, they're up to Chicago 32 ...
