Okay….so Peter Cetera is meant to be heard and not seen. I get it. There are some good, nostalgic Karate Kid II clips in this video, though, so there’s that.
Anyway, the reason I’m posting this (aside from the fact that I love the hell out of some Peter Cetera love ballads), is that Karl Wolf has made a video called Ghetto Love where he samples Glory of Love and I’ve been hearing it on the radio constantly.
Karl Wolf…..you are no Peter Cetera.
Not sure if you Yankees have been subjected to the song yet, since Wolf is a homegrown Canadian artist, so I include the link above if you’re curious. (Don’t do eet!)

Peter Cetera - Glory of Love
This was a hard one to decide on, because it’s a broad era wherein I explored a number of musical tastes. Basically, I’m spanning the entirety of the 80’s with this one, so there was some experimenting with Weird Al, Madonna, Bruce Springsteen, Metallica, Bon Jovi, and so many more.
But, if I had to boil it down, I think Peter Cetera is the card I’m going to play. Something about his songs of love and the nature of his voice created a perfect storm of inspiration that set my imagination afire with daydreams of hope and heroism. Whether it be his songs with Chicago, his duet with Amy Grant, or this song from the Karate Kid II soundtrack, I just loved me some Peter Cetera.
On cassette.
Because that’s how I roll.
And/or it was the only way it was readily available at the time.
Enjoy.
