 Greatest Hits, Volume II (Chicago album) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Greatest Hits, Volume II is the second greatest hits album by American rock band Chicago - their fifteenth overall - and was released in 1981.
Released in November 1981, Greatest Hits, Volume II primarily samples material from Chicago VIII through 1978's Hot Streets, after which the hits stopped coming, though it also stretches back to pick up overlooked hits from the era first covered by their original compilation album.
Like its predecessor, Greatest Hits, Volume II has since been superseded by 2002's The Very Best of: Only the Beginning and is out of print.

Chicago is a rock band that formed in 1967 in Chicago, Illinois.
Upon release of their first record in early 1969, the band took a new name, "Chicago Transit Authority" (the name would almost immediately be changed to simply "Chicago" after the real CTA objected).
