Steve Perry Talks About Journey's Biggest hits

Yes, Steve does have one of the best voices in music history.

Steve Perry is the greatest singer of all time. I have such wonderful memories and I still today at the age of 54 he is my favorite. I still listen to all his music.

Was lucky enough to work with Steve a couple of times. One of the nicest guys in rock & roll.

Wow! What did you work on together, if you don't mind my asking?

Steve Perry sounds better live than most rock singers sound in the studio. An absolute legend.

Yes, a rare voice in a world of good singers which is easily identifiable. The noted singers like Steve Perry, Dennis De Young, and Rodger Hodgson are easily recognizable and fabulous at their craft.

[@jeralnlawrence5011]

For selfish reasons I would have loved to see Mr. Perry, just keep on singing with Journey because he is one of the Greatest Ever to do it. But listening to him in this interview makes you understand why he stepped away and I can respect that as a human being. Certainly a Hall Of Famer! Wish him well!

[@guitarman1016]

Keep in mind that he can’t sing in that range anymore. He’s in his 70s now. He is the best of all time but he can’t hit the high notes anymore. That’s normal, he’s older now

[@JenJen78]

I feel the same way

Hi Cathy. One of the top 3 male vocalists in the world!!!!!! I was in college in the early 1980s. Every journey concert was sold out show after sold out show. That album. Escape put them on top of the world at that time. See the live version of “send her my love”. Amazing performance

At Journey's peek, his voice...ridiculous..,unmatched.

[@scottmiller1729]

I love that he does not feel he needs to be with Journey his whole life. He moved on to another chapter. A lot of us can learn from this.

[@marcwhite9234]

He’s a guy that understands the seasons of life. I don’t believe he enjoyed fame in the end. He doesn’t need notoriety for self actualization. He’s always been my favorite singer, loved Journey. So glad he found his peace.

[@Joreel]

Very true, but it doesn't hurt that he's set for life from the money he made and continues to make from royalties.

It's a shame that the members of journey ,did not listen to his suggestion of not take make anymore music under the name of journey .until he was ready to come back.

I was fortunate to see Journey live in '83 during the Frontiers Tour. I was about 20 rows back on the floor section, and all of a sudden, the crowd started leaning to one side, then the other side, and at one point, my feet were off the ground! It was a wild experience as a teenager in high-school.❤👍🙏

Don’t stop believing song relates to everyone. We all struggle for something better and we all have dreams and it isn’t easy to achieve. I have added to this song to my playlist when I need encouragement. The first time I heard this song as a teen in the 80’s, at that time I was depressed. It played on the radio and I just blasted it. I actually forgot about my depression. Thank u Journey and Steve Perry for singing that song. I still love it

[@69Tonyro]

One of the greatest rock singers of all time. And from the interview, a true gentleman as well.

[@loreleibalderston5122]

Journey was the first band I fell in love at age 14. I saw them twice in concert. After Steve left the band I refused to listen to anything new by Journey and I also said I wouldn't go to another concert. I recently did see Journey in Denver. Good show but not the same without Steve. Will always love Steve's voice and beautiful talent! I'm okay with the old Journey!!!

A very honest conversation with one of music's great singer, songwriter, and performer. I loved the Greg Rollie, Steve Perry combination era of Journey. There was so much variety in sound and such a rich blend of styles. I think when Jonathan Cain came to Journey he brought great songwriting, but it became more formula driven for the radio.

OMG Exactly 5:33 The mystery as to why the voice is so elusive in its ability to perform. To hear Steve say it happens to him as well gives me hope.

[@klaytonmayeaux8966]

This time stamp right here was the most realist shit I ever hear about singing in my life! Some people act like with singing technique that "either you got it or you don't" but it's not that simple for the exact reasons Steve Perry describes! I think he left out when you're sick in a certain way (i.e. congestion), it can make it sound like you never sung a day in your life because you have very little control of your vocal chords >_

[@Franckdatank]

But “that’s why you get paid the big bucks” as if the money magically makes you be able to perform at top peak night after night. this after he mentioned how it is a fickle instrument so it annoyed him.

[@klaytonmayeaux8966]

@Franckdatank Heavily agree! That comment the interviewer made towards Perry was CRINGE and Ignorant! You can throw ALL the MONEY in the EORLD at Perry & what he said is STILL going to happen NO MATTER WHAT (even when he was in his prime)! It's a physical limitation of the human body!
