The Chicago Transit Authority

The band’s self-titled debut album showed the world how they could rock with brass and successfully incorporate funk, jazz, and pop balladry into a groundbreaking double-platinum rock & roll classic. The album stayed on the charts for a then-record 171 weeks, and was certified gold and later platinum and double platinum. In 2014, the album was inducted into the Grammy Hall of Fame. The Chicago Transit Authority was inducted to the National Recording Registry, a list of sound recordings that “are culturally, historically, or aesthetically significant.
