Comment:

Chicago, Chapter 2. Terry Kath dies. Producer-Manager-Svengali James William Guercio gets canned (and sues). They try out a new singer and guitarist Donnie Dacus (he was in the movie of "Hair" too). They hire Phil Ramone. They try disco. They make "Chicago XIV", and they get dropped from Columbia. In turn, they drop Donnie, and hire Bill Champlin as a foil to Peter Cetera. Bill brings in David Foster, and their sound is transformed from scruffy rock band with horns to lean, mean, ballad-singin' machine. They sign to Warner Bros. and have big hits, mostly written by David, (later by Diane Warren)and Peter Cetera becomes the heart-throb he'd always kind of fancied himself to be. They make "Chicago 17" with four Peter Cetera sung hits, and Peter takes the superstardom and runs. They hire Peter look-alike Jason Scheff and have a couple big hits anyway, and then they disappear to the State Fair circuit, releasing 3 greatest hits albums, rereleasing all their Columbia albums on their own new label (even XIV!!), a live album, a big band theme album, and a Christmas album - plus their very own much-hyped (well, not that much-hyped) unreleased album, (with a title, even) "Stone of Sisyphus"; all the while Robert Lamm, Bill and Jason are releasing solo albums that no one notices.

Chapter 2: The vision's not focussed as much here. Gone are Terry Kath's rhythmic solos, the jazzy horn improvs, the fiery social conscience; instead we have slick arrangements, shorter songs with the occasional generic guitar solo (no horn breaks, thanks), and the ever-present moldy Diane Warren mini-dramas, whose popularity have eclipsed all of the band's merits which are still in evidence today in their live performances.

But given all this, the band still had some really good songs - they just weren't KNOWN for them. So here they are. Most of these are band-written, and a few of these were actually singles, but you'd never know.
