“Susan” #11 1/27/1968

The last hit record for the Buckinghams, with a very odd psychedelic passage inserted by producer James William Guercio without the knowledge or consent of the band. So they quickly parted ways, and the Bucks only had one more national chart record which missed the Top 50. Guercio found a horn-driven Windy City band named The Big Thing, who turned into Chicago Transit Authority, until the real CTA threatened legal action. Since you can’t copyright a place name, that’s how they became known as Chicago.
