AllMusic[1]

One More Story (1988) is the third solo album for music artist Peter Cetera and his second album after leaving the group Chicago. The album was co-produced by Patrick Leonard and Peter Cetera, and contains an appearance by Leonard's most famous artist at the time, Madonna (appearing on the song "Scheherazade" as 'Lulu Smith').[2][3] It also features Pink Floyd guitarist David Gilmour on "Body Language" and "You Never Listen to Me", as well as Oak Ridge Boys bass vocalist Richard Sterban and guitarist/vocalist Bonnie Raitt on "Save Me."[4]

One More Story peaked at number 58 on the Billboard 200 chart.[5] Singles include the hit, "One Good Woman," which made it to number four on the Billboard Hot 100,[6] and "Best of Times" peaking at number 59.

"Save Me" was used as the opening theme during the first season of the NBC television show, Baywatch.[7][8] Incidentally, drummer Tris Imboden appears on this album.[4] He would later join Chicago, replacing original drummer Danny Seraphine.[9] "Heaven Help This Lonely Man" was used on the American daytime serial Santa Barbara.[10] The song "You Never Listen to Me" plays during the first scene of the Miami Vice Season 5 episode, "Redemption In Blood: Part 2," but is not credited on screen.[11]

In a 2024 article for American Songwriter, writer Matt Friedlander includes "You Never Listen to Me" among his list of five "notable" guest performances by David Gilmour. Friedlander calls the Gilmour/Cetera collaboration a "somewhat surprising pairing" and goes on to say, ' “You Never Listen to Me” is a darkly ominous rock ballad about love gone wrong that showcases Gilmour’s searing, Floyd-worthy guitar riffs.'[12]
