A gentle, hymn-like piece, “Where Do We Go From Here” marks the first Peter Cetera composition to be recorded by Chicago.

Chicago’s more political material, “It Better End Soon” included, happens to be some of my favorite from their extensive catalog.

“Memories of Love” is both an oddity and a perfect fit for ‘Chicago II.’

Chicago guitarist Terry Kath’s solo on “25 or 6 to 4” has always been one of my most memorable musical moments. Here’s why.

With 1970’s “Fancy Colours,” Chicago proves once and for all how sophisticated rock music can be.

As good as some of Chicago’s other ambitious musical endeavors may have been, it could be argued that none matched “Ballet for a Girl in Buchannon.”

This is one Chicago deep cut I never get tired of – and the band seems to feel the same: “Wake Up Sunshine” remains an enduring concert chestnut, too.

Chicago will be excellent throughout the Terry Kath years, but rarely, if ever better than this deep cut. “Poem for the People” is the sound of a band that can do anything and do it well.

You know an album is good when even the filler tracks, like this one from ‘Chicago II,’ are outstanding.

A new cohesiveness sets apart “Movin’ In” and, inevitably, the entire second album that followed Chicago’s brilliant debut.
