You're The Inspiration



Gotta admit, this sappy Chicago ballad has been millin' about for days, almost as if to taunt me for skipping it over in the write-up from Friday. I had to include this link to a Peter Cetera solo performance, complete with wacky cell phone-waving revelry, 'cause the only other versions I'm finding on YouTube are from the post-Cetera era with lead singer Jason Scheff. As if this album weren't enough of a shark-jump (ah, the obvious link between massive commercial success and suckage) it was also Cetera's last work with the band before he flew the coup in 1985.

Artist: Chicago (Peter Cetera)

  1. You know, when I was five years old this song (along with "Hard Habit to Break") were my very, very favorites. I would cry and cry and sing along when they came on, proving my penchant for melodrama from a very early age.
