"One Good Woman" is a song by Peter Cetera, formerly the lead singer of the rock band Chicago. Cetera co-wrote and co-produced the track with Patrick Leonard, and the song was included on Cetera's third studio album, One More Story (1988).
Background The song was originally written for the Tom Hanks film Big. Peter Cetera was shocked that the song was not chosen to be included in the soundtrack. In fact, Cetera later stated that the lyrics reflected the story line of the movie.The Billboard Book of #1 Adult Contemporary Hits (Billboard Publications), page 338. Instead, it became the lead single from his One More Story album and reached No. 4 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart in October 1988. It also spent four weeks atop the Billboard adult contemporary chart.
