Rapper FIRST time REACTION to Steve Perry - Oh Sherrie! Is this a Journey song or nah...

He has another really fantastic solo song called Foolish Heart. No elaborate video - just vocal PERFECTION. That WAS his girl Sherrie at the time.

Steve and Sherrie are still friendly. While they broke up years ago, he left his share of the royalties from "Oh Sherrie" to Sherrie.

My fav

[@mandarinlearner]

Abvolutely!

[@tonimichael8366]

From his first solo album Street Talk. He wrote this for his girlfriend Sherrie Swafford. That is her in the video. They we were together 5 1/2 years. Check out Foolish Heart and Strung Out from this album.

Strung Out is amazing

[@JazzyBabe56]

Foolish Heart is effing banger!! ♥

[@kellymckinney9050]

@@_Lisa_S_ def one of my favorites!

[@michelecarson2360]

Actually mainly written by Randy Goodrum with imput front Steve. Randy had it mostly written before Steve called him about someone he knew, and they put her name in there. She was jealous when Journey used a college model for Separate Ways so this was appeasement. There is a video on KZbin in which Randy tells the story.

[@debbieabrahams149]

He was in love with this girl for over 5 years. They broke up the same year as his mom's passing, the same year he left Journey and began a solo career. It was a difficult time for him.

[@RustyHinge]

Not quite accurate. They broke up in 1985, a year after his solo album came out (Street Talk, including this song). He left Journey in 1987. You are correct that they broke up the same year his mom passed.

[@DonitaSilk]

Thanks for the info, ppl.

[@DonitaSilk]

Yes that was his girl of 5 years. See? I know something! lol

[@ruthlafler5622]

​@RustyHinge I think people get confused about when Steve "left" Journey: there was three years between Frontiers and Raised on Radio, where both Steve and Neal did solo projects. Then there were ten years before they reunited for Trial by Fire, and then he left for good.

[@donnamccully1703]

Loved your reaction to "Oh, Sherrie!" This beautiful song is from his solo album "Street Talk," which came out in 1984. The lady in the video was his actual girlfriend Sherrie Swafford and they were together for almost six years until they broke up..I'm a huge fan of Steve Perry and Journey, so thank you so much for doing reaction videos to their amazing songs. It's so nice to see the younger generation discovering just how amazing their music is. ♥

[@lisazaccardimeunier8378]

“Foolish Heart” is great, just him and a microphone.

[@NenaSinclair]

Gotta love Steve Perry ❤️

[@karadavis3590]

Wheel In The Sky from Journey is amazing, make sure to get the video because it shows at one point Steve harmonizing with the guitar solo.

[@robinvigil5091]

Yes!!

[@scottuselman3448]

Strung Out was underrated too. It is worth the listen.

[@ConspiracySmurf]

"Oh Sherrie" was written for Perry's then-girlfriend, Sherrie Swafford, and appeared on his debut solo album, Street Talk. The song was about the ups and downs of a relationship and became Perry's biggest hit as a solo artist.

[@Emilie-one]

I remember when this song came out how much I loved it. I played it endlessly… Guess what? Still not sick of it! This is fire.

[@reneeheknowsmyname6771]

Yeah, 'Oh Sherrie' is from Steve Perry's first solo album 'Street Talk' 1984. Also from this album......'Foolish Heart, Strung Out, She's Mine and Captured By The Moment!!' And YES!!! That is 'Oh Sherrie', Steve's girlfriend/ex Wheel In The Sky reaction to either official video or live from Houston or live 1980 in Osaka

You got right. He is from Journey, however, he left the group years ago and became a solo artist....Enjoy, this is my favorite by Steve

He was still with Journey but did a solo album Too. Long version of Foolish Heart shows rest of Journey waiting in back room and he joins them after the performance.

Steve Perry is known as THE VOICE, he is the GOAT ,GREATEST OF ALL TIME. he left the band in the 90s and didn't sing again until 2000s .

I was about 12 years old when I heard Wheel in the Sky on MTV. I'd never heard Journey before didn't know who they were but I was instantly hooked by Steve's voice....

There are some beautiful ballads from Steve Perry/Journey - one I just thought of was When You Love A Woman - the lyrics are so touching and with his vocals…you have to see the video - the melody and background vocals - even strings were added to this song - it is a gorgeous, gorgeous piece of music, definitely wedding/Valentine’s Day vibes.

Yes. He did this one outside of Journey. Around the same time -the guitarist in Journey -Neil Schonn worked on a solo project & it got released. I think Neil might have even done his first. Anyhow. I couldn't tell you anything about Neil's solo project. Oh Sherrie, on the other hand made it to number 2 on billboard charts. This song was played ALOT on the radio back then. It's catchy. And, yes, his vocals in the opening ❤!

When Steve was trying to come up with an idea for this video, he said directors were coming up with these wild ideas for the video. Steve said, what do women in leather wearing dog collars have to do with a love song!? That's how he came up with this video.

[@monicarichards1473]

This is from Steve Perry's first solo album when he took a mini break from Journey and ended up being a very successful album. Because obviously he was very successful in Journey. And so everybody knew that voice. So, the next song you should listen to is his ballad from this solo album called "Foolish Heart" you'll love that one. And the blonde in the video is was his real girlfriend. At the time her name was Sherri and she was aspiring actress. I think she got with him because she thought he could get her career popping. Cause he was Steve Perry and so he brought her in the video to try and get her some exposure. I think because it didn't really work. Maybe Sherri didn't know about the real Hollyweird industry worked back at that time in 1994. And their relationship dissolved. She just wanted a lot from him at the height of his career and so they had to end it. I think she couldn't handle long distance relationship because he was always on the road.

[@tinakeith5822]

The whole album is 🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@thetomgibson]

1:10 It’s funny how things have changed on how people look for songs. I remember just buying the album, listening to the whole thing, reading the liner notes, etc. We also had music magazines that gave us so much on the bands.

[@tammeerobertson4712]

His voice has been my savior, per say, since i first heard him in 1977 at 13 with the song ,Wheel in Sky. The best video for that song was taped in germany. Look up that one. And before him i grew up listening to Sam Cook. . And everyone that has followed steve thru his life of music knows Sam was how he learned to sing the way he does.

[@kathyw2355]

This was his solo career❤ Journey was NEVER the same after he left. You can't replace this voice no matter how hard they have tried.

[@codypendant6745]

And they were never the same before he joined either.

[@Frostrazor]

it's a solo project - with back up session/studio musicians. He has another album in the 90s - the entire album of "For the Love of Strange Medicine" is amazing vocals.

"Wheel in the Sky" live from Osaka = Mind Blown! Watch Steve during Neal's guitar solo to get the full effect!

[@JoyceMcCarthy-me925]

I love Steve Perry's solo album Street Talk. Foolish Heart is another great song from that album. Another song that I think that will surprise you is from Journey's Frontiers album. It's called Troubled Child. Their may not be a video for it though. Frontiers is one of my favorite Journey albums which included several Journey hits including Faithfully and Send Her My Love. Troubled Child never became a big hit but it really is a masterpiece. Worth listening to even without a video.

This is one of Steve Perry's solo songs. There are a lot of them, along with his vocals on Journey

[@aaroncote6750]

Hey BP, I mentioned this a few Journey reactions ago lol. Steve had a solo career after Journey split in the early 80’s and has 3 solo albums. Journey’s guitar player Neal Schon went to form a new band with John Waite (who had the hit solo song Missing You), they formed a band called Bad English-who were really good and underrated. 3 albums later they split and Journey got back together, found a Fillipino singer through a karaoke video/singing contest in the Philippines that went viral online and sounded similar to Steve Perry so they contacted him to audition. He (Arnel Penida) is now and has been their lead singer for a few decades now and they still tour. Been this year with Def Leppard, awesome concert…that story in itself it wild. How they found him and him taken Steve’s spot. Wheel In the Sky is also a Journey song however.
