Just the BEST VOICE in rock! Beautiful guy and so smart.

[@LifeChanges41595]

Steve was the best singer for me with Journey, and a private man. Handsome man, with a beautiful voice.

Steve Perry sounds better live than most rock singers sound in the studio. An absolute legend.

That's the truth regarding a great vocalist or an average one. He's the real deal

[@john26660]

I drove him from Stouffer's in St. Louis to a restaurant (that I can't remember the name of). I was working for Primo Limo at the time. Our last stretch was out on a run and they sent me in a Town Car. I apologized to him for not having a stretch and he not only was cool with it, but he sat up front with me! He had me pull into.a McDonalds and run in and get him a burger and coke because he hated the food at the restaurant he was about to go to. He was very chatty and nice. He shook my hand and said, "Thanks for the ride".

[@johnrojas9535]

Cool

[@caseybertrand8035]

Lucky!!!!!

[@jeralnlawrence5011]

For selfish reasons I would have loved to see Mr. Perry, just keep on singing with Journey because he is one of the Greatest Ever to do it. But listening to him in this interview makes you understand why he stepped away and I can respect that as a human being. Certainly a Hall Of Famer! Wish him well!

[@guitarman1016]

Keep in mind that he can’t sing in that range anymore. He’s in his 70s now. He is the best of all time but he can’t hit the high notes anymore. That’s normal, he’s older now

[@JenJen78]

I feel the same way

[@brianbronski4356]

I am lucky to be one of the many people who have seen Perry sing with Journey. Saw him in 1983 and it was amazing

I got to see Steve Perry in 1980 live. It was crazy amazing. Got to see REO Lover Boy Styx Foreigner Van Halen and many many more during that 80-83 span of time. Good times

[@ernestconnell8087]

Definitely one of the greatest singers in the history of rock n roll

[@gibblespascack1418]

Yes, a rare voice in a world of good singers which is easily identifiable. The noted singers like Steve Perry, Dennis De Young, and Rodger Hodgson are easily recognizable and fabulous at their craft.

Lately I have been feeling some stress, at times a little lost in it. Of all of my CD’s, the only one I want to listen to in my car is Journey’s greatest hits. Steve’s voice is helping me feel like my happy self and not so lost in my concerns. Thank you, Steve

Hi Cathy. One of the top 3 male vocalists in the world!!!!!! I was in college in the early 1980s. Every journey concert was sold out show after sold out show. That album. Escape put them on top of the world at that time. See the live version of “send her my love”. Amazing performance

It's a shame that the members of journey ,did not listen to his suggestion of not take make anymore music under the name of journey .until he was ready to come back. Like he asked make music under another name .leave journey alone he asked I understand. They are not journey without Steve Perry . I wonder what would have happened if they would have listened

[@sharperminds4315]

With the new lead singer that they've had for the past 14 years, it's actually worked out quite well. They are filling stadiums again and producing music with a very similar sound, enough that many people are enjoying their music again. Go Journey!

[@marcwhite9234]

He’s a guy that understands the seasons of life. I don’t believe he enjoyed fame in the end. He doesn’t need notoriety for self actualization. He’s always been my favorite singer, loved Journey. So glad he found his peace.

[@Joreel]

Very true, but it doesn't hurt that he's set for life from the money he made and continues to make from royalties.

[@PNWdude777]

I was fortunate to see Journey live in '83 during the Frontiers Tour. I was about 20 rows back on the floor section, and all of a sudden, the crowd started leaning to one side, then the other side, and at one point, my feet were off the ground! It was a wild experience as a teenager in high-school.❤👍🙏

Don’t stop believing song relates to everyone. We all struggle for something better and we all have dreams and it isn’t easy to achieve. I have added to this song to my playlist when I need encouragement. The first time I heard this song as a teen in the 80’s, at that time I was depressed. It played on the radio and I just blasted it. I actually forgot about my depression. Thank u Journey and Steve Perry for singing that song. I still love it

[@garythomas4431]

A very honest conversation with one of music's great singer, songwriter, and performer. I loved the Greg Rollie, Steve Perry combination era of Journey. There was so much variety in sound and such a rich blend of styles. I think when Jonathan Cain came to Journey he brought great songwriting, but it became more formula driven for the radio.

OMG Exactly 5:33 The mystery as to why the voice is so elusive in its ability to perform. To hear Steve say it happens to him as well gives me hope. And, once again, Dan Rather has turned out to be one of the best musician interviewers because of the good questions whose answers he never interrupts. The Anti-Howard Stern.

[@coffeecake8835]

[@klaytonmayeaux8966]

This time stamp right here was the most realist shit I ever hear about singing in my life! Some people act like with singing technique that "either you got it or you don't" but it's not that simple for the exact reasons Steve Perry describes! I think he left out when you're sick in a certain way (i.e. congestion), it can make it sound like you never sung a day in your life because you have very little control of your vocal chords >_

[@Franckdatank]

But “that’s why you get paid the big bucks” as if the money magically makes you be able to perform at top peak night after night. this after he mentioned how it is a fickle instrument so it annoyed him.

[@klaytonmayeaux8966]

@Franckdatank Heavily agree! That comment the interviewer made towards Perry was CRINGE and Ignorant! You can throw ALL the MONEY in the EORLD at Perry & what he said is STILL going to happen NO MATTER WHAT (even when he was in his prime)! It's a physical limitation of the human body!

0:23 I loved him. His answers to the interview was very deep. Now i learned something from this interview. Your voice is an instrument. In the 70's I used to be in the band. We had a gig in Tokyo . I lost my voice, and it made me think that i was the only one who had suffered and not the musicians . Because I'm an instrument and it was really hard to maintain. Whereas when you play with instruments, you can always replace the strings of the guitar or fix the keyboards easily. If you know what i mean. 11:06
