All those, and no Chicago - If You Leave me Now.
 
I love Peter Cetera - Glory of Love etc. I'm dead sappy, me.

The singer on this one was Terry Kath, and he shot himself playing around with a gun, the eejit.

May he rest in peace. ;)

Peter Cetera is great, and 'Glory of Love' is the only reason i watch Karate Kid 2. I think i'll put on my Chicago Album now.
