Peter Cetera "Baby, What A Big Surprise"

How much bad blood exists between Peter Cetera and his former Chicago band mates? Plenty. Cetera refused to take part in Chicago's Rock 'n Roll Hall of Fame induction ceremony in 2017. Rewind twenty years prior to that for more drama. When putting together an album of his greatest solo hits, You're the Inspiration: A Collection, Cetera had to remake a few of his Chicago tunes because his former colleagues wouldn't release the original master recordings to him. One such tune is "Baby, What A Big Surprise" which got a fresh coat of paint in 1997.
