Terry Kath was a founding member of the band Chicago. He carried all theirguitar work by himself. Incredible really if you think about it.
If you go back and listen, not just to 25 or 6 to 4, but really listen to all the tracks on their early albums, from ~1967 to 1977,
(Their first was actually called Chicago Transit Authority),
You will hear the most talented, and underrated guitarist and singer,
you didn't know you liked so much!
New YouTube vids
He could play guitar AND sing like no one else!
From rocking it, to soulful and sweet

When all the laughter dies in sorrow by Kindrew Lascelles
A poem read aloud on Chicago III that Terry embraced
When All the Laughter Dies in Sorrow
When all the laughter dies in sorrow
And the tears have risen to a flood
When all the wars have found a cause
In human wisdom and in blood
Do you think they'll cry in sadness
Do you think the eye will blink
Do you think they'll curse the madness
Do you even think they'll think
When all the great galactic systems
Sigh to a frozen halt in space
Do you think there will be some remnant
Of beauty of the human race
Do you think there will be a vestige
Or a sniffle or a cosmic tear
Do you think a greater thinking thing
Will give a damn that man was here
Kindrew Lascelles

- I was lucky to see Terry w/ Chicago on a great night in Pittsburgh back in '77. He was awesome on guitar and vocals, and I remember saying "WHOA" to myself when he pulled out some of the nastiest, peel the wallpaper solo licks I'd ever heard. RIP, Terry. You young guitar players, study this great legend's guitar legacy that has been left to the world. Hendrix knew this as well.... Long live the music & memory of Terry Kath.

- Just a personal note. I like the You Tube clip of their New Years Eve Special but my favorite is still their performance in the tribute to Duke Ellington sepcial "Jump for Joy".

- Terry Kath being underrated as a guitar player is in its self and understatement.
Terry was one of the most genuine and down to earth persons that I ever had the pleasure of meeting.
It was once said that Terry is in Heaven jamming with Jimmy Hendricks and I know that it's true.
God rest your soul Terry and we'll meet again sometime in the future.
Thanks to you Michelle for the work and effort you've put forth keeping Terry's name, talent and music alive.
