My Take

Robert Lamm is one of those quietly essential figures in rock history who deserves way more solo credit than he gets. As a founding member of Chicago, he was the guy behind the keys and a lot of the band's sharpest songwriting — "25 or 6 to 4" alone would be enough to cement a legacy, but he kept delivering through the band's remarkable early run in the late '60s and '70s. What I love about Lamm is that he brought a genuinely sophisticated musical sensibility to a band that was already blending rock, jazz, and brass in ways nobody else was doing at the time. Brooklyn-raised, Roosevelt University-trained, and clearly someone who took the craft seriously. Chicago got softer and more pop-oriented over the decades, but Lamm's fingerprints on their golden era are undeniable.
