Weird year. Cobra Kai , the extremely entertaining Netflix hit that serves as a decades-later Karate Kid sequel, has wisely avoided really acknowledging the existence of The Karate Kit, Part II , focusing instead on the still-fun central conflict of the original movie. Nobody needs to remember Part II. Part II was a bigger movie with a bigger soundtrack, but it was shittier in every way, soundtrack included. A year-old Cetera had joined the Chicago Transit Authority as singer and bassist in This was a group where lead-vocal and songwriting duties floated around and where nobody posed for album-cover photos.
They were a brand as much as a band, and they were fantastically successful at it, selling tons of records. But eventually, Cetera, with his toothy smile and yowly voice and propensity for power ballads, started to emerge from the mass of the band.

In , Cetera had released a self-titled solo album, and it had gone nowhere.

They thought he was ripping off their sound with those horns. By continuing to browse the site, you are agreeing to our use of cookies.
