@@melaniejordan1199 They are not "different types of music" LOL!! Everyone of them is classic rock act from mid 70's- early mid 80's. Besides a comment like "voice is unparalleled" is disingenuous and an outright lie. At best its just ignorant. Expand your horizons and quit judging people and giving artists some placement on some arbitrary podium. Music isn't a sport. Love how you aren't only judgmental you also think you can just tell anyone what to do. Hilarious.

Local boy Lou Gramm from here in Rochester, NY has one of the great voices of all time in rock music. Was able to meet him a few years ago at a friend's birthday party, and after a period of some health issues, his voice seems to be as strong as ever these days. Great choice for listening!

I'm a day-one diehard Foreigner fan and I've been fortunate enough to briefly talk to Lou a handful of times over the years and he truly is a soft-spoken, down-to-earth nice guy. I literally wanted to cry when I learned about his brain tumor operation in '97 because he simply blew me away when I had second row seats for a Foreigner/REO/Frampton show in Camden, NJ the previous summer. He sounds much better now than he did during the '99, '00, and '02 Foreigner tours(saw them around twenty times over that span) but sadly he's still not what he used to be as age and health took it's toll on that incredible voice he was blessed with.

This was one of the first songs I learned to play on piano. The one odd part in the piano part is that it has a triplet... that is where you fit 3 notes into a 2 beat section. it is in that piano riff that Jay said he liked. My piano teacher described it as the part where it sounds like your fingers trip on the keys... Dunt Dunt... Dunt Dunt... Dunt Dunt... Dunt...

Fun Fact: I live in Gates, NY about three or four miles from where Lou Gramm's childhood home is located. My next door neighbor has a son who attends the same high school that Lou attended. Lou still lives in my local area, and even though he fully retired from singing a year or so ago, he still appears at fundraising and other community events, meeting and greeting his fans and signing autographs. I have a photo of him with his John Hancock on it hanging in my den.
