Back when they still went by Chicago Transit Authority, the band sent "Questions 67 & 68" out as their very first single, off the 1969 debut that carried that name. Robert Lamm wrote it about a girl he was seeing across 1967 and 1968, every question circling where the romance stood, and he's owned up to a dash of acid imagery and a heavy Beatles influence. Peter Cetera takes most of the lead vocal with Lamm singing too, and the title doesn't turn up until the very last words.
Then there are the horns. James Pankow wrote them thick and harmonic, blowing from the first bar without a single rest, a wall of brass that shoves the whole thing toward jazz. James William Guercio produced.
