Let’s bring back the time of Peter Cetera. Click below and relive the music of one of the best selling artists of all time.

4. World Falling Down (1992)

“”World Falling Down” cuts right into the depths of human emotion, letting us know just what it means to be human. Peter wrote and recorded this album during an obvious time of personal strife, and all of the ten songs express the pain and despair that is part of human existence. Each song in itself portrays a different version of his pain and sadness, as each song is unique as they are creative.”

3. One More Story (1988)

“”One More Story” is the album where Cetera really hits his stride. “Best of Times” and “One Good Woman” are the most radio-friendly songs on the album and Cetera’s voice is employed perfectly, better than David Foster ever envisioned. But there are also some more interesting moments in this album: Pink Floyd’s David Gilmour (guitar) is featured prominently on a number of tracks.”

2. Peter Cetera (1981)

“Peter Cetera released this album around 1980 when Chicago was not doing well. It has some good rock songs with a country rock feel. Obviously, Cetera wrote these songs from his heart. It is far better than most of the ballad tripe he put out later on. The album also uses some brass and nice piano lines.”

4. Solitude / Solitaire (1986)

“Very intense album, passionate in many places. “Daddy’s Girl” is quieter, and describes a little girl who will grow up and leave home, but she’ll “always be daddy’s girl”. Very interesting collection of songs, mostly fast, features guitar, synthesizers and keyboards for that definite ‘pop/rock’ feel. Not at all like the group Chicago which he left the previous year, the songs take on their own meaning and have their very own life. A must for those who like special effects in their music combined with guitar!”
