O
grupo Chicago é uma das bandas norte-americanas mais populares da
história do rock n' roll, só perdendo quando comparados aos Beach Boys.
Formado
em 1967 na cidade da qual acaba por retirar o seu nome. A formação
inicial do grupo, inicialmente chamado de The Big Thing, incluía Walter
Paraider no saxofone, Lee Loughnane no trompete, Terry Kath na
guitarra e voz, Danny Seraphine na bateria, James Pankow no trombone e
Robert Lamm no órgão e voz. No começo, a banda não tinha baixista, mas
em Dezembro de 1967 o baixista e vocalista Peter Cetera junta-se a eles
vindo da banda rival The Exceptions.
Sob
a orientação do empresário e produtor James William Guercio, que
inicialmente tinha dado à banda o nome de Chicago Transit Authority
(nome que teve depois de ser reduzido porque o Departamento de Trânsito
de Chicago não autorizou o uso do nome), a banda muda-se para Los
Angeles e assina com a gravadora Columbia Records. Em 1969, é editado o
seu álbum de estreia, "Chicago Transit Authority", que vende mais de
dois milhões de cópias e coloca quatro singles nas paradas musicais,
fato que se repetiria ao longo da sua carreira e dos álbuns seguintes,
cada um deles com uma ligeira variação na capa, na qual, ao lado do
logotipo da banda, era acrescentada a numeração do respectivo disco.
A
música do Chicago era uma mistura de estilos, desde o rock, até à pop
ligeira, incorporando elementos do jazz e música clássica. Mas depois
do tema de Cetera "If You Leave Me Now" se tornar disco de ouro e chegar
ao primeiro lugar das paradas em 1976, o grupo começa a compor mais
baladas românticas.
Após
a morte de Terry Kath em 23 de Janeiro de 1978, ocorrido por um
acidente com arma de fogo, o Chicago entra em declínio, com fatos como o
aumento do consumo de drogas entre seus integrantes e a crise gerada
pela descoberta de graves informações sobre James William Guercio, seu
empresário - entre elas, a de que ele estaria roubando a banda,
terminando em sua demissão. A banda então decide acabar com os numerais
romanos nos nomes dos álbuns, partindo para o diferente e ousado Hot
Streets, já com o substituto de Kath, o guitarrista e vocalista Donnie
Dacus, que anos antes havia atuado no filme Hair (baseado no famoso
musical). Ele permaneceu por 2 álbuns, Hot Streets (1978) e Chicago 13
(1979), mas não se ajustou ao ritmo da banda e foi demitido em seguida.
A banda tentou entrar na era da Disco Music lançando o single Street
Player, composição de Danny Seraphine e David Hawk Wolinsky, produção de
Phil Ramone e participação do trompetista
canadense Maynad Ferguson e de Ayrto Moreira. Mas o álbum não vendeu
muito bem e eles receberam um ultimato da gravadora CBS : se não
conseguissem atingir o número de vendas desejado no álbum seguinte,
seriam demitidos. Então, mudaram seu estilo radicalmente para um rock
mais pesado no álbum Chicago 14 (1980), convidando o guitarrista Chris
Pinnick - que soava assustadoramente como Terry Kath, segundo James
Pankow -, mas os esforços de nada adiantaram. O álbum foi fracasso de
vendas e o Chicago foi demitido, assinando em seguida com a gravadora
Warner Brothers.
Danny
Seraphine, um dos únicos músicos sóbrios na banda, resolveu tomar a
frente do trabalho e procurou por um novo substituto para Terry.
Contactou Bill Champlin, cantor e multi - instrumentista, famoso por seu
trabalho anterior com a banda californiana The Sons Of Champlin. Este,
por sua vez, chamou seu amigo de longa data e ex-companheiro de banda
(os dois trabalharam juntos na banda Airplay), o produtor canadense
David Foster. David aceitou o desafio de produzir o próximo álbum da
banda, mas contando que eles aceitassem as mudanças que ele propunha,
com uma nova proposta quanto a seu estilo. Nasce então a fase de
baladas do Chicago, com o álbum Chicago 16, de 1982, e sua faixa mais
famosa, Hard to Say I'm Sorry, composição da dupla Peter Cetera / David
Foster, que renderia outras várias composições de sucesso tanto para o
Chicago quanto para a carreira solo de Peter Cetera, anos mais tarde. O
álbum vendeu um milhão de cópias e colocou a banda de volta às paradas
de sucesso.
Peter
se desligou da banda em 1985, após um ultimato dado pelos colegas.
Alguns afirmam que Cetera estava com excesso de vaidade, querendo que
seu nome aparecesse em destaque, mas os outros não concordaram; ele não
queria sair mais em turnê pois, além de estar exausto de passar meses
na estrada fazendo shows, estava com uma filha pequena e queria
acompanhar seu crescimento. A banda queria desesperadamente sair em
turnê, para aproveitar seu ressurgimento no cenário musical e o grande
sucesso dos álbuns Chicago 16 e Chicago 17. Peter, então, decidiu
realizar o sonho que vinha acalentando há muitos anos: seguir carreira
solo. Peter já tinha lançado um álbum solo em 1980, já na nova
gravadora, Warner. Mas ele suspeita que a gravadora boicotou o álbum
para não prejudicar e ofuscar a banda.
A
banda seguiu e adicionou algumas pessoas para ocupar a vaga de
substituto de Peter Cetera, alguém que preenchesse os requisitos
básicos: ter voz aguda (tenor) e ser baixista. Acharam o substituto
perfeito, Jason Scheff, filho do baixista da banda de Elvis Presley,
Jerry Scheff.
Ironicamente,
ele foi descoberto quando mandou uma canção demo para o repertório do
segundo álbum solo de Peter Cetera, Solitude/Solitaire (1986).
Em
1990, no meio de uma turnê, o baterista da formação original, Danny
Seraphine, foi demitido, e a alegação seria de que ele não estava mais
tocando como antes, e não se dedicava mais nem se aperfeiçoava. Até hoje
paira no ar uma mágoa de Danny, ele não toca muito no assunto mas já
deixou claro que considera injusta sua demissão, até porque seu papel
foi fundamental no ressurgimento da banda. Entra em seu lugar o
baterista Tris Imboden, que também tocou com Chaka Khan, Earth, Wind
& Fire, Doobie Brothers, Al Jarreau, Anita Baker, David Foster,
entre outros, e gravou com Peter Cetera(no álbum One More Story -
1988), Bill Champlin (no álbum solo Burn Down the Night-1994), David
Foster, Kenny Loggins, o guitarrista brasileiro Ricardo Silveira, entre
outros.
Em
seguida, entrou para a formação o Guitarrista Dawayne Bailey, que
durou pouco e foi substituído por Keith Howland, já para a tour de 1999.
Ele permanece na banda até os dias de hoje, como guitarrista e
vocalista, dividindo as vozes agudas com Jason Scheff.
Da
formação original ficaram apenas Robert Lamm, tecladista, e o naipe de
metais, formado por Lee Loughnane, trumpetista, James Pankow,
trombonista, e Walt Parazaider, saxofonista.
Até
o momento, Chicago já vendeu mais de 40 milhões de unidades apenas nos
Estados Unidos, com 23 certificações de ouro, 18 de platina e oito
platinas múltiplas. Eles tiveram cinco álbuns consecutivos na primeira
posição da Billboard 200 e 20 canções no top 10 da Billboard Hot 100. Em
1974 o grupo emplacou sete álbuns, seu catálogo inteiro à época, na
Billboard 200 simultaneamente. Eles foram indicados a dez Grammy Awards,
vencendo uma vez pela canção "If You Leave Me Now". Seu primeiro álbum
de estúdio, Chicago Transit Authority, lançado em 1969, foi incluído no
Hall da Fama do Grammy em 2014, enquanto a banda entrou para o Hall da
Fama do Rock and Roll em 2016. Em 2017, Peter Cetera, Robert Lamm e
James Pankow foram eleitos para o Songwriters Hall of Fame por suas
composições na banda. O grupo recebeu o Grammy Lifetime Achievement
Award em 2020. Texto: Wikipédia.
