Hey guys welcome to Ken Tamplin Vocal Academy where the proof is in the
singing. I'm doing a series and the series is
called What Makes This Singer Great and next up is Peter Cetera from Chicago
but before we do that guys if you wouldn't mind, please like and subscribe
to my channel, I'd really appreciate that. Don't forget to ring the bell so I can
have videos continue to come your way and I have a singing course it's called
How to Sing Better Than Anyone Else. You can find it right here at
Ken Tamplin Vocal Academy.com where I actually walk you through step
by step what it takes to become a great singer. So I guess really the
question right now is not just what makes Peter Cetera a great
singer but what do you think of, what comes to mind when you think of Peter
Cetera. For me I think of Chicago of course
way back and "25 Or 6 To 4" days right.
I think of great songwriting for like movie soundtracks like "The Glory Of
Love". I think of "Next Time I Fall",
another really good song. I think of "After All" or "If You Leave
Me Now", another phenomenal song. Just legendary, timeless song. "Hard To Say
I'm Sorry" is another one and I think of a guy that plays bass, you
know bass and sings at the same time. It's very very difficult to do, there's a
few people we covered. You know Sting, Geddy Lee, you know etc
and so there's some bass players out there that have just walked up to the
front of the stage and performed not just
playing bass but sing and play bass well. So there's that and then I think of
really soft, smooth, fat, warm, vocals you know.
I think of big production Chicago you know wow they really set the trend and
set the bar up really high for great production,
thanks to David Foster especially um and I know some people don't like
the David Foster era, they like Chicago before that which I totally understand
that as well. Terry Kath and the other guitar
playing era but anyway so I want to play a little
piece here and we'll start with um uh playing that. We'll discuss his voice
a little bit more as we go. Here we go.
Speaking of David Foster.
He says same about you.
Here we go.
Cool.
Alright so and I wanted to kind of let that play for a minute so we can
kind of get the vibe of it. So he's got this really sexy, warm,
bedroom voice vocals you know (sings)
right. Real gentle, warm, airy sounds so uh you know I think of kind of love
songs you know he's just a master at writing love songs and kind of playing
the victim love songs too if you ask me uh but in a good way right. Tell me
what comes to mind when you think of Peter Cetera, what did I miss and
and put some of your favorite songs or it could be a Chicago song, could be a solo
song. Please put it in the comments section so
if there's anything I missed we could have a better rounded
opinion and a poll on what makes him great and also I'm doing most of this by
request so if you've got someone in there
that you think i should react to and discuss what makes them great,
please put that in the comments section as well and check out my next video.
