Steve Perry is the real reason why the Band known as Journey became as famous as they were back in the day .

[@katherinehall1967]

True. Before him, Journey was a fairly decent band of California hippies playing music, but they didn't really have real brand or a unique sound. Steve's voice catapulted them to heights they probably had never dreamed of. Someone found an old audio recording of the first time he sang for them. I think it was some beach festival. 🤔 Anyway, the crowd went nuts. I like Arnel Piñeda, I've got nothing against him, but when they got rid of Steve and replaced him with Arnel, who was a Journey tribute band singer -- sadly, they became their own tribute band. I don't even know if they wrote new music or not. All I ever heard them do is rehash songs that Steve made hits. 🤷🏻‍♀️ When Steve was no longer there, I stopped paying attention. Voice of an angel.

[@shirleyjohnson4187]

You said it brother and sister!! There is no journey like Steve Perry!! Never gonna be another. Arnel is okay but he ain't Steve. Period. Arnel is okay but he didn't make journey what is was back then. He could record new material but they haven't unless you count the movie with after all these years.... good movie and song but where are the other new songs. Non existent. So journey feeds off the songs of the past that Steve Perry sang. They are good songs. Love the but I desire for lots of new stuff.

[@sandrasillery4493]

I agree with all of you. I'd like to add that they feed off of a lot of songs that Steve wrote or co-wrote as well. Steve Perry did indeed take Journey to their height of fame. They are who they are today because of him, and they owe their success to him. Having said that, I want to say that Arnel Pineda is and always has been, one of Steve's biggest fans, and I am truly happy for his rags to riches story. Still, Journey is only Journey to me with Steve "The Voice" Perry! There are none who can match his voice and superb vocal talent. He is a rare form of counter tenor. A tenor-altino. At least in his younger years. Steve is now 75 years old. None of us at that age are the same as we were in our younger years , but he still sounds great to me.❤ Love me some Steve Perry!

[@sandrasillery4493]

I also want to add that Steve is the richest out of ALL of the band members. They made a sweet deal for him. And he will get those handsome checks until the day he dies. Good for you, Steve! You deserve it! ❤😊

@@MyOneFiftiethOfADollar Excuse me?! The power alone in Steve Perry's voice puts Karen's to silence. Please do not be petty and throw out a pretty voice up against Steve when he is so much more in every way. Pretty voices are a dime a dozen. As well as being a composer, Steve's voice is a once in a lifetime many faceted miracle of beauty, power, depth, range, emotion, strength, control, vibrancy, variety, etc, etc, etc. As to Karen, she did not even want to be a singer and called herself a drummer, which was her passion. Steve was well known and accepted as one or the top rock and roll/pop singer of all time.

@@mvies77 I excuse you for your excessive and overt hero worship. I encourage you to pursue pastimes and hobbies that will allow you to focus on your own accomplishments rather than living vicariously through the achievements of others. "Steve's voice is a once in a lifetime" Karen's voice is once in a millennia. The drummer BS you found during 1 minute Google search does not negate her mellifluous voice. Your specious "reasoning" that a drummer cannot become an epochal singer as Karen did, needs to be corrected. Arnold Pineda can match “your Steve” note for note.

That takes one hell of a performer and beautiful heart to think of his fans. I was 16 the first time I saw him in concert and I am 54 now and I still adore him. I see pictures of him and hear him sing, and his eyes are like windows to his soul. His voice will always be able to touch the deepest recesses of my heart and soul.

There is NO one better than Steve Perry.. Tone..pitch…range…articulation…dynamics…

[@mathewblackman2794]

This is why they called him, “The Voice.”

[@georgeibrahim7945]

We also called John Farnham the voice in Australia check him out singing the Beatles song "Help" live with the Melbourne Symphony Orchestra. His vocals are crazy and he's an entertainer, the way he interacts with the crowd is awesome. John Farnham is an Aussie icon.

Isn't that Michael Bolton?

[@amberrodriguez8303]

@@georgeibrahim7945 Bon Jovi named perry the voice not that Farnham isn’t good too it’s diff kinda voice. I’ve heard Farnham sing good just diff.

[@georgeibrahim7945]

amber rodriguez Steve Perry is one of the best to and his vocals are very unique clear and crisp I love his voice to he’s one of my favourites.

[@georgeibrahim7945]

amber rodriguez have you heard of Dimash? He can sing in 12 languages and has the most insane vocal range in the world. Listen to him sing “SOS” a French song and “Sinful Passion” he sings in Russian this dude is insane

[@LucuYT]

Best voice ever. Top singer

[@cjsitzes1775]

God this song still gives me chills! His voice, there will never be another Steve Perry!

[@tinaklinger1222]

Steve Perry has one of the greatest voices EVER! Such a beautiful song.

[@adamsscalone605]

Here are the lyrics: Lying beside you Here in the dark Feeling your heartbeat with mine Softly you whisper You're so sincere How could our love be so blind? We sailed on together We drifted apart And here you are By my side So now I come to you With open arms Nothing to hide Believe what I say So here I am With open arms Hoping you'll see What your love means to me Open arms Living without you Living alone This empty house seems so cold Wanting to hold you Wanting you near How much I wanted you home But now that you've come back Turned night into day I need you to stay So now I come to you With open arms Nothing to hide Believe what I say So here I am With open arms Hoping you'll see What your love means to me Open arms By Journey

[@natachamacaillant2262]

Thank you❤

[@rosanatedesco9266]

Brilliant Music. The tone of voice is impeccable and striking. Steve Perry 🎉👏⚘️🥰🙌 music will never die.

[@katsouza5856]

THE GREATEST OF ALL TIME! Im only 25 & im so thankful my dad grew me up on music like this, journey became one of my favorite bands when I was a toddler 😂 he passed away a couple years ago & had this old journey - don't stop believing shirt that I inherited & it's one of my prized possessions! Steve can't be beat, his voice is simply perfect

[@davefrancis4529]

One of the most flawless voices, hard to believe it’s live it is that f’n good.

[@georgeibrahim7945]

You have to check out one of the best vocalist from down under John Farnham singing the Beatles song "Help" live with the Melbourne Symphony Orchestra. His vocals are crazy and he's an entertainer, the way he interacts with the crowd is awesome. John Farnham is an Aussie icon.

[@davefrancis4529]

George Ibrahim I’m in Australia and have seen him in concert. Amazing. Remember he was given a huge bouquet of flowers for his wife that made him look minuscule. He not only bent down to get them but carried them offstage without skipping a beat and sounding perfect. Absolutely effortless. Funny you mention Help, because whenever I see posts about covers of famous songs I always say that his version is far superior. Can I give you a recommendation, not sure if you remember Jack Jones (Irwin Thomas) from Southern Sons, he also played with John in the 90’s. Incredible live and still gigging and is available on social media platforms. Look up a performance of “I am found” from Carols by Candlelight on youtube.... 👍🏼

[@raegibson3066]

Very few can match him with the exception of Freddie Mercury, Celine Dion, Whitney Houston and few others....

[@jeanniewight8471]

His pitch is flawless.

[@paytonb3615]

When I hear this I get the chills. I'm only 16, I have no words. I wish I was alive then to see these guys perform together. Favorite band ever

[@misterman65__87]

P Wee exactly how I feel (I'm 16 too)

It was amazing I saw them live in 1980's when I was only 17 went with my GF at the time had so much fun never forget that night.

[@UgolinoV42346]

And guess who else has also been born after Journey's concert in Houston? Me, Rebecca Leonard. I was born in the late 1990's!

THAT IS WHY HE KNOWN AS SIMPLY THE VOICE!!!!! l have went to several Journey concerts and met him backstage.

[@andreamills5852]

Just one of those voices that comes along once in a lifetime. Still gives me chills! 💞🌹😍

[@seattlepoet]

This song is incredible....and so is Steve Perry. There is nobody more authentic than he is. Steve Perry's voice is as deep and smooth as he is. Just a beautiful man full of authenticity and emotion, who was bold enough to walk away to work on himself in recovery. He got so much shit for it, but don't ALL OF US TAKE SHIT IF WE CHOOSE TO BE AUTHENTIC.

[@carolhodges9899]

Amen to that!! His voice touches the deepest recesses of my soul. There’s been a lot said about why he left the group when he did. I imagine the other members of the band weren’t happy about it, and the fans were likely upset, too. There may still be bad blood with the bad. I remember it like it was yesterday. I was so sad. Thinking about it now, though, I believe in my heart that it was absolutely the right thing for him to do. Stopping when he did saved his voice and likely saved his life. It was a gutsy, incredibly smart move to make. It amazes me that he had the foresight to do what he did, and I commend him for it. I’m glad he’s still around to grace us with that beautiful voice when he’s so moved to do so! ❤️

[@godsloveamordedios]

I love him. No other like him. Best singer ever. Best voice ever. God gifted.

[@SandoTrini]

One of the best live voices ever. True talent

[@marieszczesny681]

When people can listen to your music nearly 40 years later and the words are still hold such meaning; you know you have made it into Music and Rock Hall of Fame. I am still listening. ❤️

[@1koolkat76]

He sings from the heart and with passion.

[@chrisharperbpool]

Steve Perry is simply in a class of his own! The man was before his time, even his bandmates couldn't appreciate him.. thankfully most of the world did and still does! x Thank you Steve for some of my most precious moments during the 80's.

[@christophermetcalfe8139]

Stunning vocals, under appreciated historically. 1:05 -1:20, absolutely gifted vocal gift.

My god, this is ultimate perfection, still can't get over this 30 some years later

[@karma20241]

I get goosebumps every time I hear this song. Steve Perry's vocals cannot be matched. I feel so lucky to have gone through my teens in the 80s. That was the best decade ever.
