I listen to ONE CLEAR VOICE often. His version of SOS cracks me up as I reminisce about ABBA! I do like the song FOREVER TONITE, and to be honest, if Crystal Bernard was in the room with me, I'd take FOREVER TONITE also!!! Seriously though, as with all of Cetera's work, it's mellow, easy to listen to, and has substance. I do suggest ONE CLEAR VOICE! It's a winner!

It's hard to imagine that a 17-year-old like me at that time actually went out and bought this album--seeing I was really into Alanis Morissette, Green Day and "Hootie"---but I did!

Peter Cetera, in my opinion, is one of the greatest songwriters/singers in the adult comtemporary world these days! Almost a month before my boyfriend and I broke up, we played the song "I Wanna Take Forever Tonight" over and over again!!! We kept talking about how great that song was. Now that we no longer see or talk to each other, this song has a different meaning in my life.

Some of the other songs that Peter Cetera has on this album are just emotional--especially Apple Of My Daddy's Eye. Although it's upbeat in tempo, it's still a great song! I was battling junioritis/senioritis at the time, and had all these fears of leaving high school, going off to college, and being away from my family and friends. And the fact that I'm growing up and moving on with my life really struck a chord on me.

It's still one of my favorites. There are other great ones too! And I am still moved everytime I listen to some tracks off this album!

Did I read correctly? Did someone say that this is not Peter Cetera's best work? Then how can you explain the fact that 6 of the 11 songs here are featured on his "Greatest Hits" compilation? This release showcases Peter at the height of his creativity. The song-writing and production work here is solid. It's a very mature effort with a great combination of pop-hooks, pulsating rythms, and vibrant emotion. "End of Camelot" and Faithfully" are stand-outs. If there is one Cetera album that will live in your CD player, it's this one!

I only recently sat down and LISTENED to this CD. The emotion evoked in so many of these songs is remarkable. The naked longing in "I Wanna Be There" gives me chills. I read in another forum that this album was created at or about the same time as Mr. Cetera's marriage was breaking up... and his music shows it. "And I Think of You," "Faithfully" and "Still Getting Over You" are beautiful and his spin on "Happy Man" is heartbreaking.

It's hard to understand why this album is not readily available. If you ever liked Peter Cetera (or Chicago), this contains some of his best work.

If you're a fan of Chicago, Peter Cetera, or adult contemporary you need to listen to this album. Once again Cetera's golden voice mixed with lifting lyrics creates another great album celebrating romance, and love.

Great Music by a Great Musician and Singer. We saw him in concert just last month and this album is a great representation of him as if on stage. Love his work.

If you like soft rock, this is one great album. You will recognize many of the songs on this cd. When I load up my 12 disk changer and put on the random setting, I always seem to have this one in there, as the tracks on this are all very good...a rare thing with most CD's.

As big a Peter Cetera fan as I am, this is one album I easily live without. Tracks 1,2,3, and 5 are passable but don't compare favorably to World Falling Down, One More Story, or Solitude/Solitaire. The rest of the album all blends together, lacks any memorable hooks, and is at times unlistenable. It may not be entirely Peter's fault; the production here is consistently uninspired. There are so many wonderful albums in the world. Don't succumb to completism! You don't need this!
