From Quiz Chicago The Band: Beginnings
Answer:
Terry Kath
Terry Kath had been teenage friends with Walter Parazaider and Jimmy Guercio. During his time with the "Missing Links", which also included Parazaider and Seraphine, Kath played bass, as the band already had a guitar player! In fact, when Guercio became a producer, he asked Kath if he wanted to join another band and play bass, but Kath declined the offer, saying that he felt guitar was his main instrument and he wanted to be a lead singer. Kath did not have the formal training in music that the others had; he was mostly self-taught, influenced by both jazz and rock. He was, however, viewed by the others as the leader of the group. Jimi Hendrix once told a member of the band Chicago: "Jeez, your horn players are like one set of lungs and your guitar player is better than me". That was high praise, now wasn't it?
Donnie Dacus (guitar) and Dawayne Bailey (guitar) are past members of the group. Keith Howland joined the band as lead guitarist in 1995, after showing up at an audition without an appointment.
