OT - Peter Cetera

[Boogie.Man]

I read the other thread about unsung bass heroes and I don't believe I saw mention of Peter Cetera. I've noticed that his name rarely comes up when discussing great or unsung bass heroes. It's as though he didn't exist. Some of his bass work in the early Chicago days was outstanding. I just don't see much mention of him by bass players. I guess his ballad days, along with Chicago's shift in music, probably have a lot to do with his image. Perhaps he thought of more as a singer than a player. That's a shame, because he did some great work on the Chicago I, II, III, V & VI albums.

I agree - always loved his bass playing and also the guy out of Blood Sweat and Tears.

I thought of Peter Cetera while reading that thread, however, I did not consider him "unsung" so I chose not to include him; I thought that he was too well-known. I'm a big fan of his playing and his singing.

No doubt - superb in "both" categories!

Talking about having no doubt... Tony Kanal of No Doubt played lots of awesome bass lines, and AFAIK sometimes even on a 'Ray.

You are correct, sir.

And I was in the wrong thread... oops

He was a great Bass player. But where's the the MM connection?

Why isn't this in the "unsung bass heroes" thread?

THREAD CLOSED.
