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.
