Guess what singer, bass player, producer and former member of Chicago turns 63 today...
Peter Cetera!
Fact:
His trademark singing style would develop as a result of having to sing for a period of time with a wired-shut jaw after getting into a brawl at a Los Angeles Dodgers game in 1970. Dang. He must have been wearing an Angels hat or something.
Fact:
His biggest singing and songwriting accomplishment with Chicago came in 1976 with their first worldwide No. 1 single, the ballad "If You Leave Me Now." I wonder if she left.
Fact:
He wrote the best theme song to a movie in cinematic history: "Glory of Love" from Karate Kid, Part II. It was also nominated for both an Academy Award and a Golden Globe in the category of Best Original Song, as well as a Grammy Award for Best Pop Vocal Performance by a Male Artist. I bet when he found out that he got all those nominations, he waxed on and waxed off.
Fact:
He recorded one of my favorite songs to play on piano from one a movie I used to watch once a week growing up: "After All" from Chances Are with the delightful handsome, Robert Downy, Jr. On a side note, who is Robert Downy? I don't know anything about him.
