Which American band produced the album 'Hot Streets' and whose founding member is praised for his Ray Charles-influenced vocal style?
Hot Streets Hot Streets is the tenth studio album (twelfth overall) by the American band Chicago, released in 1978. In many ways, "Hot Streets" marked the beginning of a new era for the band, turning to disco music, a move which would be derided in retrospect. It was also the band's first album with all-new material released since their second that didn't have a numbered title. It was also the first album not to feature original guitarist/vocalist Terry Kath, who died from an accidental self-inflicted gunshot wound in January 1978. He was replaced by Donnie Dacus on this album.
Darius Rucker Darius Carlos Rucker (born May 13, 1966) is an American singer and songwriter.

The band has released five studio albums with him as a member, and charted six top 40 hits on the "Billboard" Hot 100. Rucker co-wrote the majority of the band's songs with the other three members.
