Terry Kath was Chicago's lead guitarist and one of the lead vocalists from 1967 until his tragic death in 1978. He appeared on eleven of the band's first albums, all of which earned at least gold certification. His guitar skills won the praise of Jimi Hendrix. Some of the hits that feature his soaring guitar are "25 or 6 to 4," "Feeling Stronger Everyday," and "Dialogue." His unmistakable voice graces the hits "Color My World," "Make Me Smile," and "Wishing You Were Here."
"Chicago" and their producer Jim Guercio had a bitter split before Kath died. This will be the first reunion of Guercio with an original member of "Chicago" in over 30 years!
