Answer: Led the band called Sons Of Champlin

"The Sons Of Champlin" were originally his high school group called "The Opposite Six". They recorded a number of well reviewed albums in the late 70's. Unfortunately good reviews don't always result in big sales, and the albums failed commercially. As for Earth Wind and Fire, Champlin co-wrote their smash hit, the Grammy winning song "After The Love Is Gone", and ironically did tour with them in 2005 when both bands went on an extended summer tour together. Champlin was originally asked to join Chicago in 1978, shortly after the death of Terry Kath, and initially refused, but eventually was convinced to join in 1981. Good choice!

Answer: Formed a new group called CTA (California Transit Authority)

After being asked by the other members to leave Chicago in 1990 in a dispute over work ethics, Seraphine initally settled in Colorado, and after several years of producing local artists, he moved back to L. A. In early 2006, Seraphine and a friend, Marc Bonilla, put California Transit Authority together to do a few charity shows.

The response was so overwhelmingly positive that they put together a 70 minute set, and started performing locally, with a mix of some of Chicago's tunes, as well as some original material and covers.

The released their first studio album in early 2007, and went on a U. S. tour.
