LG is an ICON and he is Foreigner in terms of vocals and he is the band. Listen to his early version of URGENT if you doubt what I say.

[@progger53]

Louis Grammatico played in a great band called Black Sheep. I was a dj at the U of Iowa in 75 when their 2 lps came out. I got both of the lps autographed by Lou.

[@gbaker9295]

Who's Louis Gramatico?

That is Lou’s Italian name!

[@dorisdarmanin4274]

He is such a nice and humble man, love him!❤

[@cheribee968]

One of the greatest voices in Rock

[@alexyamach3635]

Glad to see Lou healthy again. He had debilitating health problems for many years. One of rock n roll's great voices,

❤ j adore Lou Gramm , très belle voix

[@oldschoolhawking8191]

I saw a foreigner back in Oakland, somewhere around 1977. They were definitely on top of the charts back then.😎🏆

I love these old lead singers making a come back , but at least lose some weight for god sake

[@BeanieScooter]

We are GRATEFUL for his amazing recovery from health issues.❤

[@jackieguccione94]

The guy almost died fk his weight that had nothing to do with it

[@robertbyington7715]

Dude he is in his 70s give him a break

[@DavidNeumeier-wp2oc]

Lou had a Dangerous life threatening Brain Tumor the size of a large Egg that had to be removed through a major Brain Surgery. The Surgery is what Permanently affected Lou Gramm's Voice and Lou's weight appearance.

[@waltersimmons946]

7:58 A very hateful thing to say. If the person who made the comment ( about losing weight) knew and followed Lou's struggle and progress after the tumor was removed. The doctors actually told Lou it would not be good to go back to the weight he was BEFORE the tumor . There are a few medications Lou will still have to take the rest of his life. Judge not.

[@wardzaza768]

Love Lou ! One of The Greatest frontman of the ERA !

[@Metabolism-Checker]

Lou Gramm is one of the best rock singers/frontmen of all time. Just crazy awesome talent! Bless you, Lou! We love you!

[@HighlanderNorth1]

Yeah, as a guy who played a little guitar as a teenager and drums later on, I mostly pay attention to _THOSE_ instruments(as well as bass). But in recent years I've been paying more attention to that _other_ person in the band who don't play any instruments(singers), and ^he is one of the ones who deserves more credit.

[@williamjackson3617]

I love ❤️ Lou Gramm and his Greatest. One of the three greatest Rock and Roll 🎸 voices of all time. 12:27 !

[@mustangjane63]

Lou is such a great singer!! Could listen to him forever!!! Love,love,love you!!!

[@Michael-no6jw]

It doesn't matter that foreigner isn't in the Hall of fame,I give the R&R Hall of fame zero credibility anyways. It's all politics, the Fans know who belongs and who doesn't so Foreigner shouldn't feel bad,there not alone.many greats aren't in who should be. I never went to the Hall of fame and wouldn't ever go.

[@elparadisowellnesscentre]

“That’s what I want to do for a living”. And glad you did, because no one else in the world sounds like you, Lou. Power singer!

[@LeeMesmer]

We love you Lou! Classic slam to Rolling stone magazine Jan Wenner .Lou said i cant remember his name 😂

[@luvyesmusici4886]

Love, love, love Lou! #1 rock vocalist of all time me.

[@candyapple5924]

Love Lou Gramm so much ❤️❤️❤️ His voice is like no other. I wish I could have seen that show Oct 7th..my birthday, would have been a dream come true!! God Bless you Lou!!

[@karabrodsky2852]

Awwww yeahhh now Lou/Foreigner is up for rock and roll hall of fame! 🎉❤

[@kathystrout3998]

Great interview, love Lou Gramm❤️

[@donnyblondy8506]

The male host looks like he was out on the town all night on a bender hahaha

[@wardzaza768]

Rock & Roll Hall Of Fame is a Joke Lou ! They put Rappers into it ! Its a bunch of BS Garbage ! You guys should of been one of the first getting into it many Years ago !

[@DavidNeumeier-wp2oc]

I told a radii d.j. to take my hall of fame tickets That I won in 2028 through a radio contest call in I told the d.j. take those tickets and give them to someone else because I refuse to go to any rock and roll hall of fame ceremony in the audience when you let p.o.s. rap artists into the ROCK AND ROLL HALL OF FAME Rap music is crapNoise that does not belong anywhere associated with RocknRoll Artist's.

[@simonajugarih3620]

Well surprise, they were nominated finally!!

[@kirkb2286]

I had the pleasure of meeting Lou years ago and he was so down to earth…. I couldn’t wait to call my wife and tell her. I told Jimmy Page I met Lou and Jimmy said Lou is one hell of a singer…not a bad endorsement…don’t you think

[@stevengiarc4743]

It's painfully obvious these two interviewers don't comprehend the rock legend that Lou Gramm is. His voice (with Foreigner) ruled FM radio in the late 70's and all throughout the 90's. One of the greatest rock voices ever!

[@meldridge51]

Lou your the Greatest! Really miss you not being with Foreigner!

[@feargal75]

...Lou Gramm ...ONE OF THE BEST !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!💖💖💖💖💖💖

[@stevem7]

Love the man, hate the haircut. The current Foreigner tour is merely a cover band in my opinion. I have always thought that Lou was pretty down to earth. I'm glad to see that he's still in the game, because he is obviously quite talented and I enjoyed his solo works outside of Foreigner.

[@rustybear5125]

Besides being undoubtedly one of the best vocalist and songwriter of all time, he is also very humble and polite, a rarity I see in music. Every interview I've seen him over the years, he is always humble and gracious. There are many reasons to like this man, and I like them all. Thank you Lou for your contribution to music and humanity.

[@nickmichalopoulos2833]

Very humble dude lou gramm

[@paulmazzola398]

Lou is a very down to earth person and quite a gear head with his old muscle cars that he drives to the cruise nights around Rochester NY.

[@howlinwulf]

Lou Grammatico the voice of ROCK AND ROLL We love you lou Keep rockin never gonna stop!! You helped me negotiate my teen years with dignity and purpose . My ears and life have been filled with your music. And Foreigner isnt anything without you. Again we love you and God Bless you!!!

[@VIDEOHEREBOB]

I still hope Lou considers teaching voice and vocals. What we could learn from him! In his heyday, few could come close to his skill and ability.

[@BluesInSeattle]

I'm so excited to see Lou healthy. Wow.

[@Michael-no6jw]

I saw Lou at the Milford oyster festival a few months back in Ct.he was great,I'm sure he'll be great in Rochester also.

[@crystalrisley715]

Rock and Roll hall of fame I say

[@wendyaldridge2875]

Lou is one of the best vocalists of all time! I've been a fan of his my whole life.

[@TWATCU]

Rochester is the small town he left for the Apple in Decay. Favorite song I love in Long Island. ❤❤❤

Meeting Lou Gramm would be a dream come true. What an incredible talent and darn nice, humble human being.

[@ritamarshall2774]

Clearly one of the most under-rated singers of all time. He is such a gentleman, and very humble too, as well as very talented.

so great to see you Lou. Happy to see your still rocking💫

[@lady_in_blue83]

More than my favorite Rock vocalist... My role model to help other people, being so kind and humble. A man whose voice changed my inner world to write my first poems at the age of 10. Thank you so much, dear Louis! Good health to you and keep on shining!

Добрага здароўя! Уразіла калісь у 80х - Лу Грэм апрануты на адным шоу ў кашулю з надпісам - LENIN. !? Што гэта?😳

[@belovednada]

Lou Gramm and Foreigner at Live aid really showed how he's been at the top as a singer and Performer, Legend

[@DJ-bj8ku]

Now that Jan Wenner is out, maybe Foreigner will have a chance to get in unless they’re no longer eligible for consideration.

[@willyhwang1059]

Would love to see Lou with short hair Bet makes him look 20 years younger
