Styx is the first musical act to ever have four consecutive triple platinum albums, and remain one of the most popular musical acts in history. The group originally formed in the Chicago, Illinois, area in 1961 as "The Tradewinds". This earliest line-up of the group included vocalist, pianist, keyboardist, and accordion player Dennis DeYoung, and a rhythm section comprising brothers Chuck and John Panozzo on bass and drums, respectively. Changing their name briefly to "TW4", the band added guitarists/vocalists James "J.Y." Young and John Curulewski. The band members decided to choose a new name when they signed to Wooden Nickel Records; several suggestions were made and, says DeYoung, Styx was chosen because it was "the only one that none of us hated." Guitarist Tommy Shaw joined the group in 1975 following the departure of Curelewski.

Jennifer
She drinks her sherry wine
She keeps her ladys love for me all the time
Shes seventeen, barely old enough to cry
A child in her fathers eyes
A woman every night
Her love,
Gives me the power
Her dreams carry me on
Jennifer, so inviting
That I sing
Jennifer
She took me by surprise
She told me that shes much too young to keep me satisfied
Jennifer, ah so delicate and shy
A child in her mothers eyes but
A woman every night
Her love,
Gives me the power
Her dreams carry me on
Jennifer, so inviting
That I sing...
