Robert William Lamm (born October 13, 1944) is an American keyboardist, singer and songwriter best known for being a founding member of the rock band Chicago.

Robert Lamm was born in Brooklyn, New York and raised in Chicago, Illinois.
He studied art in high school, particularly drawing and painting, but changed direction in college by enrolling in the music program at Roosevelt University in Chicago. In a 2003 interview, Lamm said, "My early training was really as a member of a church choir when I was a kid. It was a very good choir in Brooklyn, New York (Harry Chapin and members of his band were also in this choir at around the same time). It exposed me to some of the great sacred music from the Middle Ages, right up through Bach and into some of the 20th Century composers."[1]
Apart from his involvement with Chicago, Lamm has also recorded several solo albums. He also has guest lectured on music production at Stanford University.
In the mid-90's, he formed a trio with Gerry Beckley of 'America' and Carl Wilson of 'The Beach Boys'. After Carl's death, an album was released entitled "Like A Brother" (Blue Infinity 2005).
Chicago hits composed by Lamm include:
Robert married Julie Nini, sister of Peter Cetera's first wife, Diane Nini. Robert and Julie had a daughter Sacha before divorcing. Julie Nini later became involved with racecar driver Danny Sullivan. He was also married to Candace Fagan. In 1985 Lamm married soap opera actress Alex Donnelley with whom he has two daughters, Kate and Sean; Lamm and Donnelley have since divorced. He resides in New York and Los Angeles.
