IM HOOKED FOR LIFE!.. FIRST TIME HEARING! Steve Perry - Foolish Heart | REACTION

[@hwirtwirt4500]

It's not just the notes he hits, the phrasing and pronunciation of each syllable is done in such a stylish way. He's simply amazing!

[@donnasharpe3451]

You can hear the Sam Cooke influence in his voice.

[@TheDivayenta]

He’s like a bel canto singer in that he emphasizes the vowels creating a beautiful flowy open sound. The Voice also has a gritty warmth- like that of a great flamenco singer.

[@draco4540]

@@donnasharpe3451 i din't know who sam cooke was. i pulled up a song of his on youtube. yeah, there is a lot similarities in their voices. pretty eerie. steve perry is old enough to have listened to him sing and i'm sure that he has.

[@kristyshortridge4968]

You feel Steve Perry's voice deep in your heart and soul.

[@lindabergman3127]

Yep❤

[@dawndipierro9557]

His voice just grabs a hold of you. Saw him live with Journey and solo. Never ever heard him sing out of tune of a crack in his voice. Pure perfection every time.

[@RitaBowen1]

And he still sounds just as good today

[@joesiano21]

Steve Perry has a one of a kind voice. He takes you in then hypnotizes you.

[@bevkelly76]

He often seems like he knows or thinks about relationships often. Also he sings with so much feelings and emotions ❤

[@racheltassin2270]

Anything by Steve Perry is amazing…. Missing You is a beautiful song. But I think Mother Father is one you need to do soooon.. love that you are loving Steve Perry and Journey

[@jorgebrahim1565]

The best Malé voice ever no doubt about MR STEVE PERRY

[@heathernicole3655]

Its funny how each generation finds Journey and Steve Perry...and never feel like it's outdated. The music is timeless. My dad loved Journey...then I grew up on it. And all 3 of my sons (23 years, 19 years, and 16 years) who are all musicians love Journey and turn their friends on to the music. Lol. And my goddaughter is named Journey because her mom loves them too.

[@dianerendon8150]

Steve’s voice captures my soul and melts my heart. Man of my dreams!

[@proudarmymom8657]

Steve Perry has been and always will be my number one all-time favorite male singer! I have a hard time recognizing the new Journey they’re just to me in my opinion not journey without Steve Perry but hey Steve Perry is the G.O.A.T.!!

[@cden409]

His voice is beautiful and so unique. His speaking voice sounds just like his singing voice. Can you imagine 3 shows a day at times and every night for 6-7 nights in a row. They would tour 7-9 months at a time, What that would do to your voice! 120 shows in 5-6 months before a day or week off.

[@debbieseymore481]

One of the best singers of all time.

[@cherylmcintire6775]

He has a friend who treated cancer patients. Steve was looking through their portfolios and fell instantly in love with a woman's picture. They met and were able to spend some time together before she passed away. But she had him make a promise that he wouldn't go back to the isolation he was in and get back into music. Hes kept his promise too.

[@bruceshenkel6991]

Steve Perry singing love songs such as Foolish heart etc.,and I'm a 72 year old man, the tears just fall from my eyes .I truly get emotional .I used to have their vinyl records ,but have since lost them through moving,and time. Great show Adogg. Keep em coming

[@ketiahbahtisrael2386]

I love Steve Perry. This is my fav. I can’t just listen to it once.

[@Doglyvr]

Steve Perry is a master vocalist. I could listen to him all day.

[@hollyks349]

Steve Perry IS THE VOICE of my generation and frankly no one has come close since!

[@shikababa]

I love love love Steve Perry. Man, the memories these songs bring back. Have you listened to Lay It Down from their Escape album? Talk about vocal range. My gosh that song gives me goosebumps and makes me so happy. The band and Steve’s vocals kill it!

[@julieerickson795]

Steve Perry in a class all his own

[@leslie8743]

Steve is one of my top 5 voices. Steve's the Goat...❤

[@DanJackson1977]

"Oh Sherrie" has to be next.. that was maybe his biggest solo hit. And for me it's the song that defines 1984. I was 6.. and whenever I hear it, it takes me right back there.

[@Kim-hc5si]

I still love this song so much. ❤️

[@imaretromillenial1990]

He doesn’t just have a gorgeous voice, he gets into the character of the songs and tells a story. Missing You and You Better Wait from his second album is amazing too.

[@xmoomoo9158]

Can’t believe you’ve never heard Steve…. He is frickin amazing !! A voice like no other. Enjoy 😉

[@victorialw1]

An interesting little tid bit about the recording of this song/video. This video was the filming of the actual recording of the studio version. Steve walked out, sang, and then walked back off. Presto!! The studio version was made. Steve has such flawless talent. There is a version out there that, when Steve walked off, the members of Journey waiting for him back stage to go celebrate New Year's together.

[@tkend10]

🤯

[@Blondie60]

Yep! He was legendary for this song and video bc it was done in ONE TAKE! That is never done!

[@sandrabrown4675]

Such an amazing man and voice. Truly professional in everything he did. Never heard anything bad about him.

[@kevinbarberio5143]

STEVE PERRY = DA GOAT.

[@xmoomoo9158]

“Only The Young”… The Party’s Over”…. “ It’s Just the Rain”… “Mother.. Father”… some of his finest songs❤️

[@kathrynkissane5144]

What a voice! He is such a huge part of us Eighties teens!

[@jorgesantibanez7117]

Steve Perry AKA Journey I grew up on 80s music always on the radio that's why I know who they are

[@debbiefannan5357]

Just grabs your heart and soul…..songs are amazing but it’s his voice that reaches our hearts/souls. What a gift to us

[@rebeccasims6768]

In the video Steve walks on...sings...walks off...nailed it...perfect talent.

[@coolmomjj48]

That's why he was called "The Voice" Saw Journey 3 times. All the 3 times they were unbelievable.

[@BeckeyBoydGooden]

Me too!!!!!

[@user-jd5ls1ro9o]

Oh yea. Steve Perry aka The Voice is hands down the goat for me

[@TonyRom257]

I was 17 when I saw them in concert in 1983..... amazing concert. Steve was one of a kind.

[@SRHS83]

Thank you so much for all the Journey and Steve Perry reactions! Hope you're doing well ADogg.

[@GinaGeeILuvu]

I love Steve Perry’s voice! I love this song it was one of his solo hits after he left journey! ❤️❤️

[@patriciagrant4913]

Everything you said about Steve Perry.⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ He is perfection!

[@jeannieschmidt2217]

Thank you so much for doing this one - I wish more reactors would. It's my favourite from Steve's solo work. Just a perfect vocal :)

[@Johnny67557]

One of my fav vids of the era. So simple. One continuous shot.

[@vincechampion3031]

He released a great album in 2018 called Traces. Check out We’re Still Here, Most of All and No Erasin.

[@SunnyEternalArmy]

Omg. You just remind me so of myself 7 years ago when I got addicted to his voice and music. 😁😁😁 These are Steves Solo Albums: 1. Street Talk 2. For the love of strange medicine 3. Traces Go on with your Steve Perry Journey. You will be amazed what else is waiting for you 😉❤

[@angelahall332]

I love this song. All you need is Steve, a stool, and a microphone. 🔥🔥

[@monicaortiz5115]

Your cute, love that you found appreciation for the man, the legend, The voice! He is amazing always has been ,now in his 70s still singing, still amazing 👏 always heartfelt songs you should hear his latest album Traces from 2018. He's still got it! ❤

[@user-or1ye3iz6d]

Steve Perry "Oh Sherry"

[@jenniferandrews1917]

This came out when I was in high school and it quickly became a favorite of mine. This is Steve when he was solo and Journey had broke up. Another great one from his solo career is “Oh Sherry.”

[@larrywright6214]

Journey never broke up. They were between albums when he did this. Neal went off and a couple of solo albums at the same time. (Beyond The Thunder is a must have for any Neal Schon fan. Electric World is a double CD. He has several others, but those are my favorites. Great stuff!)

[@G-grandma_Army]

One if the top five rock voices of all time IMO!

[@Raynneboe]

I just love Steve Perry! He is an awesome singer. Listen to this song everyyyy day!

[@lilygem6491]

Your reactions to Steve Perry and Journey make me smile! You do a great job! No one has a voice like Steve Perry's! You should do Mother Father, 1981 live in Houston! This is as close to brilliance as it gets!

[@shezmullen2306]

All the ballads Steve Perry sings, either makes me sob, or my throat constricts..... hard!! Goosebumps every time! Still after 5 decades!!! ❤

[@sonnytavares2006]

It saddens me whenever I see great vocal frontmen either leave or get kicked out of the band for ego - tripping band members. It is the fans who pay the price and the music world. When the band gets a new frontman to replace the old one the band never sounds the same, just a cheap imitation of their former glory. Steve Perry is in a lane of his own. There is only ONE Steve Perry.

[@DanJackson1977]

Steve wasnt fired, he quit. They worked him like a dog, blew out his voice, wouldn't give him time to recover.. or get hip surgery in 96.. that was the final straw for him. The new guy is fine though... hes keeping the band alive. Yeah. Its not the same. But it's as close as you're gonna get. Steve is doing his own thing now, and is perfectly happy.

[@RitaBowen1]

I think we will be hearing more from Steve. He promised his wife who passed away from cancer that he would rejoin the world of music. She told him he had deprived to world of his voice long enough!

[@xmoomoo9158]

@@RitaBowen1 he has new music out and he wasn’t married. He still sounds pretty good but not like before…but he is 70 or so.

[@larrywright6214]

Steve fractured his hip while hiking in Hawaii. He could not tour with the band when they were ready to get back on the road. The other guys all voted for him to have hip surgery, and he wasn't sure about it. But the rest of the people working for Journey all had bills to pay and families to support. Neal and the guys didn't want to shut the band down, so they got another lead singer. Not the first band to do that. I'd say they are all doing fine now, so it's all good.

[@RitaBowen1]

@@xmoomoo9158 yeah I know they weren't married but to hear him talk about her they may as well been.

[@elizabethgari4909]

Oh I was waiting for you to hear this!!!! Thanks!

[@csf7773]

You get it, my friend, you get it. That's Steve Perry!

[@leslieduncan2405]

Saw Journey 4 times growing up in Miami in the 70's and 80's... STEVE PERRY WAS ALWAYS MINDBLOWING..... HAVE YOU HEARD FREEDIE MERCURY THE LEAD VOCALIST FOR QUEEN...? CHECK OUT MONTREAL 1981... A LIVE PERFORMANCE ... STILL GIVES ME THE CHILLS...IT'S THAT STUNNING. ...NOT EVEN LIVE AID...

[@janicemichaelsedona1146]

Adogg: So happy you reviewed this song. Most people started out as Journey fans and then focused on Steve Perry because he was the lead singer. In my teens and college years, I was more into Motown and R&B. In 1984, I went on a date and the guy I was with played this song on the jukebox. I asked him, "Who is this?" After that I was hooked on the voice and then I saw the video in 1985, USA for Africa where Steve had a few solos lines and I finally put the face to the beautiful voice and have been a huge fan ever since. I only listen to the old Journey with Steve Perry and...of course...all of Steve's solo music. Please keep bringing Steve Perry's musical magic to a new generation of fans...like you!

[@michelleautore2945]

G.O.A.T. Truly no greater voice on the planet. Faithfully, When You Love A Woman, OPEN ARMS... I HAVE LOVED THIS MAN AND JOURNEY FOREVER!!!

[@billtaylor3382]

Strung out (STEVE PERRY)❤

[@kathyneuman5613]

He is fantastic!

[@MH-he8wu]

Really love his voice!

[@rrhondarrenee]

This is my favorite of his solo songs but it really helps when you write your own songs you know your voice you know the nails you can hit you know how to write for yourself to sing and when he writes with journey Neil Shon the guitar player said he usually writes the music with Thomas Cain and Steve writes most of the lyrics. I love that you love Steve

[@paolasin05]

His simply the best in the world steve perry forever. You can check FTLOSM 1994 that was his tour for his album.

[@tammyf.7864]

Please listen to the live version of "Mother, Father" and "Don't Stop Believin,'" during the concert in Houston, Texas, in 1981. You'll find it hard to believe that Steve is singing live!

[@smfmnoneya9134]

Oh Sheri...one of his best solo tracks.

[@angelabarazzone7899]

I agree with you, Steve Perry’s voice is smooth

[@marcusalford1750]

Hey adogg thank you for this reaction I've been playing this song on repeat it's so good 👌👏

Journey "Only the young" (studio version) ❤️

[@aprilecrider6989]

Great song writer as well as singer and performer !!!

[@CC-gd9wl]

He pronunciates his words, and that voice is coming right out of his diaphragm.

[@myprettypsych]

This is my favorite song of his. I randomly sing it all the time.

[@kcburns94]

Soulful. Timeless.

[@fireeyes5399]

Sometimes his ballads make me TEAR UP. I can admit it. His voice is so Beautiful and Hypnotic.

Great song I remember this as a kid Steve Perry's voice captivates your soul its very soothing

[@toodlescae]

Steve is still performing last I heard. I know he's recently put out a couple of albums.

[@xmoomoo9158]

Unfortunately he isn’t doing any live performances but hopefully he will!

[@xScooterAZx]

Just close your eyes and listen. Your heart will melt and you'll feel breathless.

I just love Steve Perry and am so glad that you are doing reactions to his work! Other terrific solo songs you could check out, "If Only For a Moment Girl" and "I Stand Alone".

[@sharonchaput9705]

Steve Perry is the GOAT.

[@charlesburris6314]

Hearing Journey when Steve joined was eye opening. They went from a good band to Hall of Fame. Have a great day.

[@mindfulbynature3418]

Hypnotizing-yes!! I’ve heard him in interviews saying in his early years he was influenced by Sam Cooke’s singing & think you can def see the influence. ❤

[@petet5401]

In case you didn't know Steve Perry's biggest influence as a vocalist happens to also be one of the greatest singers......SAM COOKE! You can hear how much on pretty much every song Steve's sings. Steve and Sam....2 of the best ever!!!!

[@petet5401]

Ellis Hall is another! Tower of Power.

[@WineSippingCowboy]

Written by Steve Perry and Randy Goodrum. In the 1970s, Randy wrote You Needed Me for Anne Murray. This is the most famous hit for both of them! 😃😃 How did they meet? 🤔 Steve went to the house 🏠 of Randy. He thought that Steve was a member of Aerosmith. WHAT? 🙄 Luckily, daughter of Randy got her poster of Journey. She pointed to the face of Steve! Randy thought that Steve Perry was Joe Perry! L🤣L Steve wanted to work on songs the next day. But Randy got him to work on that 1st day. 😃 This was the Nashville 🤠 way of writing songs which was new to Steve. Foolish Heart and Oh Sherrie were finished in this writing session. One year after Steve and Randy released these songs and the rest of the solo album (1985), Randy wrote another big hit! Suggested videos 📹: 1 Debarge sings Who's Holding Donna Now. 2 Steve Perry sings I Stand Alone. Cover of Foolish Heart. Strongly 💪 suggested: Morissette Amon sings Foolish Heart 💔 The Phoenix of The Philippines has a twist! 🇵🇭

[@michellenault728]

If you look up Steve Perry interview with Dan Rather, it is pretty interesting. I agree, his voice is remarkable!

Please try Steve Perry I stand alone thank you it's great music

[@thequieterubcomethemoreuhe1198]

You've got to react to his newest! October 2018, he released his 3rd solo album Traces! On that is 'No More Cryin'-my fave! And We're Still Here. First in over 20 years, but it wasn't his 'come back album', according to him, it was his continuation. Also, I hope you will react to You Better Wait. I've endorsed that to so many young folk because it is so relevant & Steve's vocal is mesmerizing.

[@SunnyEternalArmy]

I love "somewhere there's hope" and "tuesday hearache". But the secret of all his songs (Solo or with Journey) is that the more you hear them the better they are becoming. Man, I so love this music ❤

[@trb2021]

Beautiful man with a beautiful voice

[@carolnewsome554]

This album is wonderful. Listen to 'I Believe' from this album. It is fun.

[@tonyhao9344]

I like that you picked up how he walked up sat down sang, Kilt It, then just walked away. That's how you do it.. I first heard this when I was in high school in 1984. I remember going to the store and buying the record after hearing it. I wasn't sure if it would be as good as a Journey record but it was. I also bought Van Halen 1984 & Billy Idol Rebel Yell, LOL..
