“I Want to Know What Love Is” is the song with everything- including a gospel choir. Lou Gramm said the song practically wrote itself after he had a string of failed relationships. And the gospel choir made sense because he felt the song was spiritual in nature. Have to watch the official video though.

Met Lou Gramm in the 90's when he was in a 70's band collaboration performance at Resorts in Atlantic City, very nice guy & great singer... I'm sure I turned 50 shades of red when he singled me out to sing to though, he did find me after the show to make sure I had survived! LOL Still have the inflatable dog he and the others autographed after the show for me (if I dug it out I could tell you who else was there that night but I'm being lazy).

Ohhhhh, this song!!! Hubby has played this for me so many times!! LOVED your reaction, Van!! This song is quite seductive when played purposely for someone!! I know!! Long story for us... (short version) we met as teens in 1981, his brother was a friend of mine, we each married other people, had kids, marriages ended. Fast forward to 1995, reconnected for a few months but I was a hot mess going through an ugly divorce. We connected again in the summer of 1997 after 2 years with NO contact at all... great friendship built while we each secretly wanted more. November 5, 1997 he risked the friendship by kissing me one evening. When I say my knees went weak I am NOT exaggerating!! It was a "now or never" situation, he said later. We have been together ever since, married August of 1999, and he still makes my knees weak!!
