Peter Cetera, since he left Chicago in 1985, has had a number of top ten songs on the charts. But this article on Peter Cetera will feature my favorite top ten songs sung by this man, chart-topper or not. So here's my top ten songs from Peter Cetera via his eight full-length solo works and from the several movie soundtracks that he's released or been featured on to date. These songs will descend all the way down to my favorite Peter Cetera tune of all time

10. The End Of Camelot, originally from 1995's One Clear Voice album

The first of my top ten songs by Peter Cetera has a bit of a modern country flavor to it, and it discusses the stress of a strained relationship. The End Of Camelot has a pretty fast and really smooth pace to it.

9. Where There's No Tomorrow, originally from 1992's World Falling Down album

This is another fast and smoothly paced tune from Peter Cetera's 1992 release that speaks of a summer encounter and whether or not there's any future for the lovers afterwards.

8. (I Wanna Take) Forever Tonight (Duet with Crystal Bernard) from 1995's One Clear Voice album

This icon is well-known for his charting Billboard Top Ten duets, and this project with the former star of the television show Wings has a great give and take between the singers during the roughly four and half minutes of performance. (I Wanna Take) Forever Tonight broke the Billboard Hot 100 Singles Chart in 1995.

7. After All (Duet with Cher), originally from 1989's Chances Are movie soundtrack

Despite Cher singing like she's being tortured, the honesty of this song with Peter Cetera still touches my heart. You won't find this Number One Adult Contemporary Hit in any of Peter Cetera's solo studio albums, but it's a part of Cher's Heart of Stone album.

6. One Clear Voice, originally from 1995's One Clear Voice album

This tender ballad is sung with a lot of emotion and speaks about finding inner direction. One Clear Voice is a bit of a tear-jerker to listen to, and so it easily makes my top ten list of Peter Cetera sans Chicago songs.

5. Big Mistake, originally from 1986's Solitude/Solitaire album

Takeaways
  • As a solo artist, Peter Cetera has built upon his fame singing duets.
  • Peter Cetera continued to be successful after leaving Chicago in 1985.
  • To date, Peter Cetera has released eight solo studio albums.

Chicago was a great part of the 80's sound.
