Brother what a night the people saw

"The Night Chicago Died" is about a shoot-out between the Chicago Police and gangsters tied to Al Capone. It was inspired by the real-life Saint Valentine's Day Massacre, although that involved Capone's men killing seven of Bugs Moran's gang members and had nothing to do with the police. The song reached #1 on the Billboard Hot 100 for one week in 1974, reached #3 in the UK charts, and #2 in Canada. "The Night Chicago Died" was Paper Lace's biggest and only hit in the United States.

They are known to Americans as a classic one-hit wonder; however, in the UK they were a "classic two and a half hit wonder" (Sendra, 2006). The core of the band originally formed in 1967 as Music Box, but changed their name to Paper Lace when Phil Wright joined as drummer and lead singer. View wiki
