The lead on those songs was Greg Rollie. He was a lead singer for Santana on Black magic woman. He and Niel Schon formed Journey and Steve joined later. He left Journey later and Jonathan Cain became the keyboard player.

4 octaves + 5. A decent range for sure. What sets Steve apart is his ability to stay up in the high tenor range (he is the only counter tenor I've ever heard who doesn't sound like a girl) and, of course, his flawless vocal technique. Plus he was blessed with a voice that SOUNDS beautiful.

Journey was known for their "segue songs", songs that went right from one song right into the next without a break. "Morning Girl/Stay Awhile" from the album "Departure" is also very pretty. I especially love the differences in the two voices---Gregg Rollie and Steve Perry. They harmonize beautifully too. I could probably listen to this and to "Lights" and be perfectly happy.

From Wikipedia: Robert Weston Smith, known as Wolfman Jack, was an American disc jockey. Famous for his gravelly voice, he credited it for his success, saying, "It's kept meat and potatoes on the table for years for Wolfman and Wolfwoman. A couple of shots of whiskey helps it. I've got that nice raspy sound."

Five singers (one usually beatboxes the percussion but has a beautiful tenor when he sings) that range from an A6 in a counter-tenor to a bass with a Bb1 at the end. The Lead is a baritone that takes over for the bass when he sings lead and the lone woman in the group is an amazing mezzo-soprano.
