The original line-up of Chicago was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2016. The group's first album, Chicago Transit Authority, released in 1969, was inducted into the Grammy Hall of Fame in 2014. The group has received ten Grammy Award nominations, winning one for the song, " If You Leave Me Now". In 1974 the group had seven albums, its entire catalog at the time, on the Billboard 200 simultaneously. They have had five consecutive number-one albums on the Billboard 200 and 20 top-ten singles on the Billboard Hot 100. To date, Chicago has sold over 40 million units in the U.S., with 23 gold, 18 platinum, and eight multi-platinum albums. In 1971, Chicago was the first rock act to sell out Carnegie Hall for a week. Chicago is one of the longest-running and most successful rock groups, and one of the world's best-selling groups of all time, having sold more than 100 million records. Billboard also ranked Chicago ninth on the list of the 100 greatest artists of all time in terms of Billboard 200 album chart success in October 2015. In September 2008, Billboard ranked Chicago at number thirteen in a list of the top 100 artists of all time for Hot 100 singles chart success, and ranked them at number fifteen on the same list produced in October 2015. Their most recent album is Chicago XXXVII: Chicago Christmas from 2019. While the band failed to produce any hit songs from the 1990s onward, they continued to release albums and tour, including several highly successful co-headlining tours with fellow horn-based band Earth, Wind, and Fire. Cetera left to pursue a solo career in 1985, but the band continued to produce hit singles under Foster's direction, including " Will You Still Love Me?" (1986), featuring lead vocals from new bassist Jason Scheff, and the band's best selling single of all time, " Look Away" (1988), with vocals by Bill Champlin. The band changed sounds as the 1980s began, where Peter Cetera and producer David Foster took the band in a less progressive direction, producing a number of soft rock and easy listening hits, including " Hard to Say I'm Sorry" (1982) from Chicago 16 and " You're the Inspiration" (1984) from Chicago 17, the band's biggest selling album in their career. The band would continue to produce hit albums based on the formula established with their first two records until 1978, when Kath died of an accidental self-inflicted gunshot wound. Several singles from the first album were subsequently released or re-released in 19, with two additional songs charting in the top-10. Their second album, another double album simply titled Chicago (1970) (later retroactively titled Chicago II), continued with the format of experimental rock, and produced two top-10 singles, " Make Me Smile", which peaked at 9 on the Billboard Hot 100, and " 25 or 6 to 4", which peaked at 4. The band's first album, Chicago Transit Authority (1969), a sprawling double album filled with experimental rock songs, initially failed to produce a hit single upon its release. Parazaider retired in 2017, but is still a band member. Although the band's lineup has been more fluid since 2009, Lamm, Loughnane, and Pankow have remained constant members. Seraphine left in 1990, and was replaced by Tris Imboden. Cetera left the band in 1985 and was replaced by Jason Scheff. Bill Champlin joined in 1981, providing vocals, keyboards, and rhythm guitar. Kath died in 1978, and was replaced by several guitarists in succession. Laudir de Oliveira joined the band as a percussionist and second drummer in 1974. Cetera, Kath, and Lamm shared lead vocal duties. Lee Loughnane on trumpet, James Pankow on trombone, Walter Parazaider on woodwinds, and Danny Seraphine on drums. Growing out of several Chicago-area bands in the late 1960s, the line-up consisted of Peter Cetera on bass, Terry Kath on guitar, Robert Lamm on keyboards, They produced numerous top-40 hits over two decades, and continue to record and perform live. The self-described " rock and roll band with horns" blended elements of classical music, jazz, R&B, and pop music. The group was initially billed as The Big Thing before calling themselves the Chicago Transit Authority in 1968, and then shortening the name in 1969.
