The term "vintage" is now widely used. When a high-quality wine is born, a specific time and place are identified. However, the term's usage has far-reaching implications that go far beyond the cask, bottle, and glass. Taking music as an example. In Chicago, Illinois, from 1965 through 1970, one of the finest "Vintages," five groups created irreplaceable singles that are still considered Gold standards today. The Buckinghams, the Cryan' Shames, the Ides of March, the Shadows of Knight, and the New Colony Six all created distinctive voices as dynamic and diverse as the Windy City itself by distilling the wide range of emerging and traditional sounds of the time.
The key members of these bands perform the songs that were first heard on WLS and WCFL, Chicago's top radio stations, during the Cornerstones Of Rock concert. These songs immediately gained popularity across the country and millions of people declared them to be "forever favorites."
