    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.

      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 UA-cam in which Randy tells the story.

    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.

      ​@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.

    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. ♥

    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.

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.

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.

    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.

    Yes! Please cover Wheel in the Sky. The video where he is wearing the white polyester suit..or maybe light blue..is the best one (IMO). Wheel in the Sky is my favorite. I think it's his best song to show off his vocals.

    "Oh Sherrie" is the debut solo single by American singer Steve Perry. Written by Perry, Randy Goodrum, Craig Krampf and Bill Cuomo, the song was recorded and released on Perry's first solo album Street Talk in 1984, which he released while still a member of Journey. The song is often regarded as an "honorary" Journey song, being credited to the band on several hit compilation albums and in other media, largely due to its resemblance to the band's trademark sound, as well as their performances of the song on the Raised on Radio Tour, which proved to be Perry's live swansong with the band. The track is composed in the key of F major with a time signature of 4
    4, following a tempo of 120 beats per minute.
    The song was Perry's biggest hit as a solo artist and written for his then-girlfriend Sherrie Swafford, who also appeared in the music video. The song hit number three on the pop chart and number one on the rock chart in the United States, partly aided in its success by a music video released to promote the song, which received heavy airplay on MTV.
    Two of the song's co-writers and supporting musicians, Bill Cuomo and Craig Krampf, earlier performed on Kim Carnes' signature song "Bette Davis Eyes" in 1981. Cuomo, who performed the keyboard riff on "Oh Sherrie," was the musician responsible for the keyboard riff on "Bette Davis Eyes", and Krampf was the drummer on "Bette Davis Eyes" while Larrie Londin was the drummer for "Oh Sherrie". Cuomo, Krampf and Perry had started composing the song at approximately midnight with little more than the simple chorus of "Oh Sherrie" and "Hold on, hold on" plus a few simple sounds. Swafford had been in the room with them initially, but had gone to sleep because of the late hour.
