Background

The song was originally to be included in the Tom Hanks film Big, but Cetera withdrew "One Good Woman" from consideration because 20th Century Fox had proposed too many changes.[1] 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, holding Taylor Dayne's "I'll Always Love You" off that top spot for the last two of them.[2] ("I'll Always Love You" would beat "One Good Woman"'s peak on the Hot 100 by one position, reaching #3[3]).
