I think he is what lead fans towards the band in the beginning and the rest was just a legacy....

      For me Rock kind of ended in 76 - 76 with exceptions like Van Morison, Joni Mitchell, Santana, Police and so on.
      In case you missed Jazz in the 1970s.

    Terry Kath, the finest guitarist and songwriter that ever blessed our lives! My age is 68 now, I was 14 (in 69,) when I first heard the band, (the CTA album). At 15 (1970) myself, and a very good friend and great organist, (his father was a minister, and he grew up playing the piano and organ,) a good lead guitarist and very good drummer, both from our high school, formed a band, I played bass, I could play 6 string but was nowhere near good enough to play lead and rhythm in a band. We played a lot of Chicago's song's, minus the horn section but the organ he had was decent at producing horn sounds. We played high school dances all over the area and in our senior year played and came in 2nd in a battle of the bands held in New Haven CT against guys that weren't in high school anymore. We were quite proud of ourselves to come in 2nd as teenagers against bands with guys in their 20's and mid 20's. Terry will always be my favorite guitarist and songwriter, it saddened me terribly at his passing. He had soo much more to give to us all and his voice was wonderful.

      I agree! I had all the early Chicago albums in the early 70s and totally lost interest in Chicago when Peter and David Foster, for me, ruined the vib with all of the commercial, sappy songs. So now I’m 61 and am totally obsessed with Terry, Robert, Danny, the horn section, etc. I can’t get enough of Terry. His guitar solos and voice blow me away. Why was I not in tune with all of this in my young years? As a guitarist myself, I should have been! Well, I’m making up for lost time! ❤️

      That's so true, I had only seen them with him once, thus was so sad and disappointed when I got to open a show for them at Aloha Stadium, in (where else) Honolulu, and he wasn't with them, as he had passed just a few months previous.... I got to hang out with them a good bit, being from Chicago, as well, we had a lot in common, and while the band still kicked butt, everyone knew no one could fill Terry's shoes, and it was quite obvious.
      What really hurts every day, is knowing how much incredible music we, and the world has missed out on. He, Jimi Hendrix, and Duane Allman, all leaving us far, far too early has been like losing a limb, or two. To think how few years they were in the public eye, yet all the great music they had done in that time, music that astounds to this day, only adds to their legendary status.

Watch the 1970 Tanglewood performance and hear the words directly from Kath's mouth, "This next song is 'Ballad..." but you may know it as 'Make Me Smile'."
