Biography

According to Billboard chart statistics, Chicago is second only to the Beach Boys as the most successful American rock band of all time, in terms of both albums and singles. Judging by album sales, the band is among the Top Ten best-selling U.S. groups ever. From the beginning of its emergence as a national act, Chicago has been able to fill arenas. And beyond the impressive sales and chart statistics, the band's music -- rock only one of several styles used and blended, along with classical, jazz, R&B, and pop -- has endured, played constantly on the radio and instantly familiar to millions. ~ William Ruhlmann
