Tags:

Innovative yet popular, precise yet sensual, calculated yet galvanizing, Earth, Wind & Fire changed the sound of black pop in the '70s - their encyclopedic sound topping Latin-funk rhythms with gospel harmonies, unerring horns, Philip Bailey's sweet falsetto, and various exotic ingredients chosen by leader and producer Maurice White.

Chicago followed the lead of Blood, Sweat and Tears and the Electric Flag by grafting a horn section onto a rock band. For over a quarter of a century, Chicago has produced 20 Top 10 hits and 15 platinum or multiplatinum albums and sold more than 100 million records.

Jun 04, 2008 - pobrien on Chicago

Chicago may not be cranking out the hits but their magic from past decades makes their show one of the best

For anyone over 30, Chicago brings you back to your youth, either to a time when you rocked to their music or sat in the back of the car on a family trip while your parents ran the radio. A superstar band on tour again makes it well worth the tickets.
