Before I started this pick, I had no idea who Jim Peterik was. I was looking up some stuff about the band Ides Of March. It led me to Survivor which intrigued me. Then I discovered that Jim had written songs for Cheap Tric, Sammy Hagar, 38 Special, Doobie Brothers and more. And not just the "extra" songs. Some of the hits as well. The more I looked, the more I found. He played in Chase, with World Stage and had solo stuff too. Here's a sampling of his work in case you didn't know it was him.

ReplyDeleteThank you my Lord!
DeleteJust saw this posted. Never saw a Peterik comp. Nice one!
ReplyDeleteKnown Jim long time and still catch up at least once a year.
You only have The Ides Of March represented here for their signature song. Understandable, but if you enjoy 70s horn bands and don't already know, check out The Ides first two WB albums in their entirety. Vehicle (1970) and Common Bond (1971). Guaranteed that you will not be disappointed for your effort.
Keep on keeping on!
I had not noticed that The Ides "Superman" is also here.. cool! That one, from the second album, was supposed to be the follow-up hit in the same vein as "Vehicle" but I believe "L.A. Goodbye" from the same album actually charted higher and got more airplay overall.
ReplyDeleteI had room for just the few, but good track
