ABOUT…
I am Rebecca and I am one heck of a passionate vocal coach/singer/songwriter/impressionist/health/fitness/self- improvement/anything that makes me smile!! I love anything vocal/singing related and geek out on it every day. I want to motivate and inspire others to follow their dreams…corny? Well maybe but it’s true. So what’s motivating me?? I had a huge tumour removed summer 2017 and my ovaries and fallopian tubes. The tumour was the size of a 20 week baby!! However, despite not being able to walk for a couple of weeks, and feeling generally awful…. It has made me create and do what I love! It wasn’t an easy time but I won’t let fear dictate my life. I didn’t think ‘why me’, there are plenty of horrific issues people have to deal with…it’s not always smooth sailing. It’s true when you hear, ‘Life is short’, the crazy thing is, I am glad it happened…I appreciate life even more and practice gratitude everyday…It’s so easy to get caught up with the little things…and I do sometimes, but look at the bigger picture, will it matter in a year or two…?
Also thank you for all your support. It means a lot.

[@rebeccacurtis6680]

Steve Perry was interviewed when "Don't Stop Believing" was inducted into the Library of Congress fairly recently. He said something like it was the biggest highlight of his career. He's a very humble, genuine, talented man. You should also go look up the videos of him singing & stirring up the crowd at the Giants games singing this song. He's in full on party mode enjoying his favorite team. Great personality. Hard not to love him.

[@cooltpmd]

Saw Journey live in the 80's. I'd never seen a singer own the crowd the way that Steve did. Sings effortlessly, didn't pitch it down for easier performance, had the women screaming and the men flexing. It was amazing.

[@GenkiColleen]

THIS is why Journey can't make it without Steve. You may find soundalikes, but no one can replicate Steve's incredible charisma.

[@mara1820]

I fully agree. The soundalike doesn't have this type of charisma. I'm tired of his leaping and jumping. Steve never needed that.

[@goldengod31]

Arnel’s story is literally this song. For that alone I am gonna support the dude . Also he gives it his all on stage , of-course he isn’t Steve, but it’s worth the ticket.

[@charlier711]

For those of us who grew up with Journey (I was in High School when the Escape album came out) there is only one lead vocalist - and it's Steve. He blew our minds then and still does.

[@goncalobaia1574]

As a male tenor singer, (AND [hate to sound immodest] a pretty decent one) I can recognize how ridiculously hard this song is, and to any non singers out there, know that this man is a LEGEND the notes themselves can be reached, but there's a HUGE leap from that to what he does, his huge control, the purity, the power of each note, the ease, the individuality of his timbre, the performance Takes YEARS to get near that level

[@cpiper6338]

I believe Steve Perry is actually a counter-tenor (male equivalent of alto) as was Freddie Mercury. Unfortunately, the voice is like a muscle. It has to be "exercised". And Steve took off too much time and aged. Currently, he can hit some of the same notes but doesn't have the full range or power that he used to. (And I'm an avid fan just being honest.) He may be able to get it back, who knows? But age and lack of consistent use takes quite a toll.

Aside from being such a fine singer with great pitch and a pretty timbre, what always gets me is how Perry sells out emotionally to the performance very time. Whether it's in studio or on stage he always commits emotionally. You never feel cheated.

[@rmzzz76]

I truly believe this 1981 tour and specifically this Houston show which they captured on film is probably one of the most remarkable live performances in rock music. In the late 1970s into early 1980s for technical singers in the genre it was all about Freddie Mercury and Steve Perry taking that bar to a whole new level. I'm not a very sentimental person, but as a musician and singer, I tear up listening to it, because it's just so incredibly perfect and this is before all the technology we have today helping live performers. It's raw perfection. I enjoyed your analysis.

I absolutely adore Steve Perry! He's one of the most brilliant rock singers ever. A beautiful and disciplined voice full of emotion and soul. He didn't sacrifice technique for the sake of emotion. It's amazing that he can sing this well live and sound just as good if not better than the recording. I can't think of any other singer that I can listen to every single day and never get tired of.

[@SJR_Media_Group]

Steve Perry was and still is recognized as ... "The Voice'. Steve Perry set the bar so high that it is impossible to reach it. You know you are listening to a true Rock Star when 40 years alter people are still listening to him. A voice so pure and powerful that it touches your very soul. Steve Perry sang 'Live' better than most sing in Studio. Even auto-tune would be wasted trying to make his natural voice 'better'. There is no substitution for true talent.

[@matthewcragg3607]

"After the Fall" is the one that amazes me most. Perry's voice transcends human ability on that song. One of the few nice things about being older (I'm in my early 50's now) is that I was around back when these songs first came out. I was already a fanatic music LOVER even as a kid when Journey peaked. When these songs were initially released and everyone was hearing them for the first time it was unlike anything happening today. Somehow even back then we knew we were hearing what would be timeless classics. Bands and music were a big deal back then and everyone was talking about the incredible stuff coming out. The emphasis was on the quality of the music not how someone looked or danced or what their latest publicity stunt was…like in today's music scene. Young people today are so unfortunate. They didn't get to grow up with a music scene like we Gen-X'ers did. The only bad thing about that time was we mostly listened to it on crappy cassette or 8-track tapes on equally crappy stereo systems. So the advent to modern ultra-high definition formats breathed new life into these classics and we get to really hear them again for the "first" time. I love music so much.

Steve Perry Is and Will Always Be The Golden Voice ♥️

[@Kurtdog63]

His voice is so powerful that it seems like he is effortlessly yelling the song. Most non-musicians don't realize that what they (the crowd) hear out front is not what musicians hear out of their vocals on stage (which makes it more amazing that he can pull of a studio quality recording LIVE.) Stage Monitor speakers (what the musicians hear) typically a dry mix without effects, no reverb, echo, etc. to combat feedback issues? and also balance of vocals, back up vocals, can seem OUT of balance and instruments too loud, not loud enough, BUT a good sound man makes it all sound good out front where it counts. Have played in situations where I could barely hear my own instrument/voice. Side note: It was rumored back in the day that his voice was so strong that it was hard on microphones. I would like to believe that rumor.

Rebecca! Hi! There are some things that you missed that I think you'll appreciate. 1. The concert was in 1980. There were no in your monitors. He only had wedges. There were no wedges on the ramps. Therefore, he didn't have the luxury of getting a pristine feed in order to base his pitch off of. 2. His pitch throughout the ENTIRE CONCERT was astonishing/he wasn't experiencing fatigue in any way that was audible. 3. Whenever he sung very high notes he would always tilt his head to the right AND it didn't affect his ability to hit those notes.

I wish I could have been at this concert. I have the concert on dvd and my two sons were blown away by it. What a voice and what a performer. Loved this band. I did see their last performance with Steve in the band. Bittersweet.

YOU GOT IT MASTERPIECE

[@twizz8754]

I haven't seen any Steve Perry live performances that weren't electric! Thanks for reacting to this, Journey are one of my top 3 rock bands 😊👌

[@outermarker5801]

When I close my eyes for the last time, I will do it having had the tremendous joy of having lived the 1980s as a teen growing into manhood, absorbing real time in record stores some of the greatest (popular) music ever recorded. And inspired into becoming a player myself. Singers sang, SERIOUS players played, and producers produced rather than overproduced. Shining brightly, with a unique brightness in seven seas of talent, is the timeless, unmistakable Voice of Steel, Steve Perry. My God what a gift.

[@mikebunner3498]

When it comes to rock singers, Steve was/is one of the best ever. Great range and vocal support. High energy band and song!!!

[@dawnleena5773]

Agree! He sounds amazing on albums, but live is even better! There's a reason he's named The Voice 🎶❤️

[@suziewong2181]

Steve is much better live. You can feel the emotion no matter how many times he has sung the same song. Just a fantastic voice. Love that man.❤⚘

[@ronj5714]

Steve has spoken several times in interviews how he got really stressed trying to keep up with expectations of always hitting those high notes while on grueling long tours. He felt a lot of stress & anxiety because he felt it was all on him & his instrument, his voice. Touring back to back to back had taken it's toll on him and his voice. He has now emerged back out into the mainstream after many years of silence & is singing once again, but this time in a lower range. He is an amazing song writer & a gorgeous voice and Journey could have never risen to their success without his amazing talent. He kept on writing those love ballots hit after hit..

[@crash406]

The word you're struggling to find, Miss Rebecca, to describe exactly how timeless this song is...ANTHEM.

[@ckendall9955]

Watching Steve perform in person was Amazing!!! He was the best live performer ever!!! The Raised On Raido concert was phenomenal! I love Steve’s solo albums as well. One of my favorite songs of his is “You Better Wait” from his “For the Love of Strange Medicine” album. The music video is fantastic! He is back after 25 years. His voice has change but he still sounds good to me. He’s been through a lot. But he still sings from his heart.

[@imaretromillenial1990]

C Kendall Young Hearts Forever, Missing You, I am - all great songs. He doesn’t have a single bad song.

[@cleomaddiem3581]

Steve Perry - The greatest vocalist of ALL TIME. Period. My favourite song by my favourite band, of all time. Hello from Melbourne, Australia!

[@michelescibilia2436]

Paul Rodgers is no slouch as a rock singer. I love Steve who patterned his voice after Sam Cook, listen to Sam and you will know what I mean. Steve even recorded a San Cook song.

Freddie Mercury end!

[@andyontourbrokendreams7120]

This so is my favorite songs ever. In 54 now. It will gives me shivers down my spine. If I'm down upset I play it. Then the world is ok again. The song may of saved my life. And that's for real. God Bless You great video. And I'm pleased your a UK girl makes a great change.

[@rex2837]

Rebecca, if you listen to the points in the song where you expect a challenging octave, you wait for it…. Then he delivers 1-2 then 3 octaves higher, effortlessly. It’s the effortlessness that makes it special. As a result, at a live show, the fans feel that they had gotten more for their money, if you will, or a special bonus.

[@jaymoreno6955]

It's so wonderful to see you compliment and accurately comment on how brilliant and ATHLETIC Perry's voice was in his prime here in 1981. He is simply one of the very few who's voice LIVE IN CONCERT is better than in the studio..! It's also heartwarming to see how moved you are by his voice.. something we all feel and you illustrate it perfectly.

[@jacirogers9109]

Nobody,nobody, does it like Steve Perry. They never will. My favorite concert, November 1981, my baby was 5 months old and stayed home with her Daddy, while me and Susie went to see Journey in OKC.

[@jorgebrahim1565]

U are listen the best Malé voice ever no doubt about MR STEVE PERRY

[@mikebunner3498]

Steve is one hell of a great singer. In a class all of his own. Amazing!!!!!!!!!!!!! I am so glad you did not fan girl. This is your channel so do what you want. You are NOT being rude. You are just speaking the truth.

[@fdsannie]

Thank you so much for doing Steve Perry and Journey! I am a major fan girl too. I cannot believe people hearing the "Voice" and not appreciating it for what it is. I love Steve Perry. I got to see Journey but it was after Steve had left the band. It was the first singer who replaced him. He was not to bad. I would close my eyes sometimes and try to think it was him....... Did not work, because there is no one like him. Thank you again and take care of your self.......... :-)

[@yefunehdavid1005]

Fabulous unique voice. Phenomenal vocal skills. Beautiful song.

As long as there is a breathing human being in the world the LEGEND that is STEVE PERRY WILL NEVER DIE.

[@jardennis4nd]

Thank you for keeping this song alive in a gorgeous fashion.

[@michaelchmiel166]

He's known as THE VOICE for a reason. And I'm a Metal guy. But love me some old Journey, circa 1977-1984.

[@Stclairm1]

His little bit of singing on We are the World was awesome.

[@kgunitkeese17]

Yes but I was disappointed to see that he only just got one line. He needed more. Bruce Springsteen sang a lot, same with Bob Dylan and Ray Charles

[@michaelceraso1977]

@@kgunitkeese17 yep Steve def deserved more on tht WE Are the WORLD recording, BRUCE of course was of the biggest ones to VOLUNTEER (after he did a concert btw as it shows in his RASPY rendition). Kenny loggins also deserved more imo

[@xGaLoSx]

when i first heard his little part, i was like.. WHO THE F**K IS THAT? And then i went down the Journey rabbit hole for a while. Just his couple seconds stood out to me more than all the rest. (Cyndi a little bit)

[@marshabailey772]

He KILLED every take and really helped Cyndi Lauper, who could not get ger starting note. He was so great someone actually WHOOPED after one take. A talented guy and total pro.

[@beto3707]

@@marshabailey772 Yes, he actually stepped in and help Huey Lewis, Karen Carnes, and especially Cyndi Lauper on their take. They intinally had trouble on many takes, but he gave ideas and coached on them singing together harmonically. You see this on the behind the scenes.

[@kevinbuck7615]

Just found your channel. As a lover of classic rock and roll, I truly enjoyed your assessment and comments. Steve Perry, one of the greatest vocalists of my generation.

That man owns the stage. This is a master in his element.

There was the one guy who sounded exactly like him tho

@@magicjuiceyt6650 Not exactly. Close, but I can still tell when it's Steve and when it's not.
