While he did not contribute significantly as a songwriter at first, Seraphine eventually co-wrote several songs for the band: "Lowdown" (a hit for the band), "Little One," "Take Me Back to Chicago," "Show Me the Way," "Birthday Boy" and "Street Player."

In 1974, former Sergio Mendes session man Laudir DeOliveira had been added to the band as a percussionist. In recent interviews, James Pankow has said that DeOliveira was brought on board at Terry Kath's insistence to keep the rhythm section on track. According to Pankow, Kath and other members of the band thought Seraphine was not playing up to standard. Seraphine responded to this by saying,"I’m the one who brought Laudir DeOliveira. No one else in the band. I jammed with him, and loved his playing so much I said I got to bring him into the band. Because we were doing a lot of Latin stuff at that time. I don’t know what Jimmy, what he’s smoking or what he’s drinking to come off and say that. To be honest with you, if you knew Jimmy Pankow, you’d know not to take it seriously. It’s unfortunate."

In interviews, Seraphine has been reluctant to go into specifics regarding his dismissal from the band, but has indicated that political behind-the-scenes machinations were responsible. Band member James Pankow has asserted that Seraphine did not spend enough time practicing, and that live shows were adversely affected due to his performances, with the last show at the Hammersmith Odeon being the final motivating factor for Seraphine's dismissal.

In an interview Seraphine said, "The reason I’m no longer in Chicago is the lead singer, the new lead singer, Jason Scheff and Bill Champlin, didn’t like the fact that a drummer was running the band." Later he went on to say, "Out of all people that should be criticizing me for not practicing, it shouldn’t be Jim Pankow because there’s a guy that has really neglected his craft."Reference
Life after Chicago After being dismissed from Chicago, Seraphine settled for many years in Colorado, where he kept himself busy with a variety of musical and theatrical projects, including producing local musical acts. Seraphine has since moved back to the Los Angeles area. Chicago is a pop-rock band formed in 1967 in Chicago, Illinois. ...
