What was The Buckinghams big hit?
The trademark opening horn notes on their #1 hit, “Kind of a Drag” became a signature of the Chicago horn sound as identifiable as The Buckinghams themselves. Their first manager/co-producer, Carl Bonafede, signed them to Chicago’s USA Records.
Was Lindsey Buckingham part of The Buckinghams?
Buckingham was invited to join the group in 1974; they had recorded in the same studio, and the band was lacking a guitarist and male lead vocal. Though highly successful, the group experienced almost constant creative and personal conflict, and Buckingham left the band in 1987 to focus on his solo career.
Did the Buckinghams become Chicago?
In 1968, Guercio took his experience from The Buckinghams to become a staff producer for Columbia, crafting Blood Sweat and Tears’ #1 album. At the encouragement of The Buckinghams, Guercio signed the group “The Big Thing,” or as they were renamed, “Chicago,” and produced their first 11 albums.
