Cetera originally wrote the song for the film ‘Rocky IV’, but it was passed over. It would end up featuring in ‘The Karate Kid II’. Jeff Porcaro from Toto is credited with playing percussion on the track. Using a top 30 points basis, this solo hit for Cetera would way out perform any of the SA chart hits he had as a member of Chicago (505 points compared to Chicago’s top performing hit, ‘If You Leave Me Now’ which manged 366 points). It also out performs the only SA chart hit by co-writer of the song David Foster. Foster’s ‘Love Theme From St Elmo’s Fire’ managed 311 points.
