Vocal Coach Reaction To Lou Gramm - Foreigner - I Want To Know What Love Is - Live - Ken Tamplin

[@leroycaudill96]

Lou Gramm put's all he has in a song any song that's why I love his singing.

[@Constantijn09]

Lou Gramm is a Vocal legend, his technique, power and range are second to none

[@rokest5971]

I loved LouGramm but technically speaking there are some better screamers: ChrisOusey is a monster, MickDevine (SEVEN), SteveOverland, ..

[@gailtomao1551]

I agree

[@brianfuller7691]

This is music. Lou Gramm is a vocal legend.

[@kentamplin]

He certainly is, Brian!

[@toddparfitt7571]

It's not just Lou's technique, it's his attitude and soul that gives him that edge.

[@hunnieluvs]

Lou Gramm sings with Feeling,he brings tears to my eyes, everytime.. He's just got it!!!

[@kentamplin]

BONNIE BELL - Got it!!! Yes he does, in spades!

[@angelarasmussen1800]

Your enthusiasm for singing is inspiring! Foreigner and journey are my two favorite classic rock bands. Well me and most everyone else 😂 for good reason!

[@leannedove]

Lou’s voice is so powerful and distinctive. Never tire of listening to his music.

[@liveheavyshows]

This song is so perfect, it makes me cry everytime, I saw Lou Gramm in Caracas 2009 after his brain surgery and some ladies in the audience said before Lou Gramm went on stage they said what happen with Lou why he is not signing yet! what Happen, will he come in a wheelchair? And I will never forget that moment when Lou Gramm came out and sang perfectly leaving everyone impressed closing the mouth of those who did not believe in him.

[@kentamplin]

Live Shows Lou is one of the best!

[@nicholasvero4075]

Lou Gramm and Steve Perry Best vocalists of all time!!!!

[@angelicamartinezr.8965]

Steve Perry is superior, indeed.

[@CMissShelleyMichelle]

Brad Delp. Mickey Thomas?

[@user-wx3ln8yq1b]

Brad Delp too

[@JesseLedfordMusic]

Sebastian Bach before he ruined his voice

[@louieturquassio5258]

@@CMissShelleyMichelle yes indeed, you must add brad delp in that list as well.

[@pearlady22]

The incomparable Lou Gramm! He is just so amazing. His voice was so beyond great. I love Foreigner as well but only with Lou Gramm singing. It was really sad and unfortunate what happened to him with his health but he’s still singing today. He’s a really humble guy too. Thanks for doing this video!

[@jesusthomas4948]

Lou is a vocal legend!!

[@kentamplin]

I agree!

[@sherrimiller987]

Love Lou Gramm, my favorite rock vocalist ever and so glad he’s one of your favorites as well!!❤️

[@alexakl6445]

Always a big fan of Lou Gramm. Raw and powerful voice like no other.

[@danlc95]

Love seeing you and him in the thumbnail, Ken.
Beautiful dissection of one of the all time greatest rock vocalists to grace this planet.
The first cassette I bought was Foreigner 4, the summer between 4th and 5th grade - 1987. I played along to that tape on my drums daily that summer.
Thank you!

[@androth1502]

when i was 12, my dad stuck a foreigner greatest hits cassette tape as a stocking stuffer for christmas. at first, i was like "what is this crap?"
that tape became my favorite gift for that year. i became an instant foreigner fan and played that tape until it fell apart.
4:35 yeah, this is how i look listening to that song.

[@kentamplin]

That's awesome, Androth!

[@cadeevans4623]

This song is awesome Lou Gramm is great live great band one of my favorites

[@Bachrules]

Hi Ken. Always appreciate your great lessons so much. I'm a 50-year-old South Korean and and there have been 3 songs that brought tears to my eyes when I was a teenager who still didn't understand English well. 1. Against All Odds 2. Total Eclipse of the Heart 3. I Want to Know What Love Is. Having been a high school English teacher for 22 years, now I know what those songs are about and that gives me even bigger movement.

[@kentamplin]

Wonderful! Thanks for the visit. Rock on!

[@Mouser21]

Excellent..Lou graham is the shit and a exceptionally nice human being!👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼

[@truckerron]

He has a very full warm tone to his voice and he can add Crystal Clear rasp if you will, to his voice when he needs it without struggle.

[@kentamplin]

Thank you!

[@dewdew34]

Wow Ken, you did something more important than make music, you helped make someone else's life important. Kudos !

[@kentamplin]

Rock on!

[@LoveMEsumLISSA]

The soul in Lou's voice brings me to tears. I have listened to EVERY version of this song on You tube. This and Waiting for a girl like you. NO ONE does it like Lou!

[@kentamplin]

I love Lou. One of my favorites!

[@jnixa1010]

Singing this live has to be a beast. He slayed it

[@asieffhusein8270]

Such a man with spirit, he went through hard times and still manage to stand up for himself. Respect to Mr Lou gramm

[@kentamplin]

I love Lou in this video. His voice is amazing, as always! This shows you don’t have to be perfect to be good. He wasn’t perfect. But he was absolutely amazing!

[@abunchahooey]

Aww… baby Ken! 😂 Don’t know how I missed this one. Lou is the bomb, and I Want to Know What Love Is is an absolutely phenomenal song. It’s just so GOOD!

[@nachomenares]

Thank you Ken. Please check Live At Deer Creek 93. Best Lou Gramm performance of all time

[@cheryldyer8165]

Love Lou Gramm. Black Sheep was great, Foreigner was great, Shadow King was great, and his own personal CDs are great. Got to give him credit for still going out there and doing concerts. Spectacular, expressive singer in his prime, fantastic song writer. So thankful for Lou Gramm.

[@redit5332]

Foreigner, Journey, and Eagles are legendary! Rock on! No band beats the Eagles singing live on stage.

[@kentamplin]

Rock on!

[@5speedMax]

Foreigner...way under appreciated compared to other rock groups of the era.

[@sonjamedic634]

Thanks for your reaction video, Ken! Only Lou Gramm (in the 1990s) is better than Lou Gramm here. I love this live performance so much. A delight to watch and listen to Lou. He clearly puts all his heart and soul into his golden voice. Outstanding vocalist and genuine performer without any ego rock star attitudes. He only needs a mic and a song, ANY song, and the magic begins. I followed his versatile voice whereever I could, finding so much great music and joy: Foreigner, his solo stuff, Shadow King, and recently Black Sheep, his collaborations with other artists, his tribute to John Lennon and Aretha Franklin, his amazing cover versions of Led Zeppelin's "Black Dog", "Heartbreaker", "Stairway to Heaven"...
But it was his backing vocals on Bryan Adams' "Let him know" from the "Cuts like a knife" album that caught my attention in the first place many many years ago. Without knowing or recognizing Lou back then, I always thought, OMG, THAT VOICE, AMAZING. So, thanks to Bryan Adams for introducing me to the best rock vocalist of all times (imho). 😊

[@barbaraadams8219]

Being a singer makes one appreciate his ability to the max!

[@GUR-ARYEA]

Lou gramm has a perfect voice..
Rocky,a little bit metally,gentle,
A little bit soft i must say..no.1

[@deepsouthNZ]

Lou is a true rock singer as good as he is at ballads he preferred the rock songs like this one, I love listening to his old band black sheep and just imagine what they could have achieved had that worked out

[@raultennis5904]

Isn't it wonderful to see audiences listening to a ballad, experiencing a concert, without sticking a cell phone camera in front of their faces. Those days are gone forever.

[@kentamplin]

Raul Tennis- Sad but true...

[@MidnightRambler]

its very hard to replicate that vocal performance live..such a stunning song.

[@kentamplin]

Indeed!

[@marilynscates5012]

Lou gramm, has a powerful and unique voice that's impossible to replicate.

[@genevawelsh9133]

My dad was telling me that his first record he ever got was Foreigner and this song was on there.

[@paultoy9611]

One of my Foreigner favorites Ken! Beautiful song done under stressed concert conditions and Grahm delivers the intensity of the desire within the lyrics.This is the real passion of the human heart crying out.Thanks so much Ken.

[@terryfrances8341]

One of the greatest singers of all time that flew under the radar. As a singer, Lou does not get the recognition he deserves. I'm surprised how many people don't know him by name. I mention Lou and I get "huh?" Then I mention Foreigner and they go, "Oh yeah, that guy." Thank you for recognizing his incredible talent.

[@spiralflash6169]

I absolutely love Lou Gramm and Foreigner too (almost?) as much as you do! I wore out their 8-track tapes when I was a teen in the 70's, and I still rock out singing along with their CD's as a sassy senior! Great reaction vid!

[@detroitrockscity]

I could listen to Ken react to Lou Gramm, Steve Perry,Brad Delp,Dennis De Young and Steve Walsh for the rest of my life! Thank you Ken

[@kentamplin]

Thanks for the compliment, David!

[@VIDEOHEREBOB]

Absolutely Steve Walsh is incredible!

[@virginia5]

Saw Lou Gramm with foreigner in the Wisconsin state fair ( Milwaukee
) . Late 1970’s. Loved that.

[@youspriz1]

You ll be glad to know that Gramm s voice is restored a lot as he sings a track in the new Alan Parsons album

[@kentamplin]

That's great, renovatio renovatio!

YES! You did one on Lou Gramm! MY favorite singer of all time! Thank you👊🤘GOD THAT VOICE! he really was just the best (in my opinion) and this song.....SO MUCH HEART AND POWER! One of my 5 fav songs ever!
Fyi....9:40 in almost mDe me cry when Lou goes upper register....just PERFECTION! Foreigner does NOT get the respect they deserve!

[@kentamplin]

Theron Hayden Lou is one of the greats!

[@lovedancingxoxoxoxo9843]

I said this in another video .. I didn’t appreciate good vocals when these guys were on top .. but man now I’m wide awake ... awesome

[@kentamplin]

They're great!

[@orangeeye13]

I agree with you Ken T. Foreigner is one of my favorite bands of all time. Lou Gramm delivered BIGTIME. Especially in the studio because the songs are everlasting. Just incredible deliver. Powerful frontman and voice. Bigtime musicians backing Lou. Tons of classic hits. There is a version of "Starrider" on youtube that is incredible. With Lou. You know which one I am talking about. Late 70's/early 80's where the band just kills it. I would love to hear your take on it. I know you listen to the comments. God Bless man. You are a true leader and teacher for so much positive we have have coming in the near future. Rock and Roll never dies. Comeback and revival is coming!

[@orangeeye13]

I would love to add a thing here Ken if you are listening. Keeping it short. Unsung heroes of mine when I picked up my instrument. While in my home state,, Southern Maine/ Portland, Maine,, "Pete, from "Twisted Roots" and while in New Orleans for 7 years (1997 - 2004) ,,James Hall (pleasure Club)... Great bands with great frontmen... The digital age may have put a cork on many great talents out there. Perhaps to a cast where you showcase some artists that not many have heard of before? I love your channel and I am loving going back listening to lots I have missed throughout the times we are living in.

[@kentamplin]

Thanks so much! Love Lou!

[@Verdad2024]

Makes me appreciate artists who can sing live

[@kentamplin]

Absolutely, HAguayo!

[@thegreyman4920]

I've seen recent videos of Lou with Foreigner and it's amazing at 70 how well he can still sing after that life changing brain tumor. Thank God he made it.

[@vanessapedia]

I absolutely agree with you Ken...Lou is just a Naturally gifted singer and his feeling and tone is second to none...I Love Foreigner and still do...Kelly Hanson is Great, but it's Lou for me for raw talent and feeling...Thanks Ken...Love your voice as well by the way :)

[@Serf_dom]

Summer of '81, 10 years old, laying in my back yard with the neighbor kids waiting for Juke Box Hero to come on the radio so I could hit record on the cassette player...Foreigner started my love for rock music. That Was Yesterday is in my top 5 of all time.

[@kentamplin]

Yes, I did the same thing, Trisha! Wore out many a cassette tape!

Hey Ken, love these videos. Would you ever consider doing one on Brad Delp from Boston? In terms of iconic rock singers he doesn’t seem to be brought up nearly enough.

[@lgempet2869]

Rob Nyenhuis In my opinion, Brad Delp was one of THE BEST rock singers EVER to be in the business. So tragic, at the end, he was unable to see his value to himself & to the world.

[@Deetroiter]

The interesting thing I take away from him being out of breath at the beginning, it really adds to the visual on my end as a spectator. Something about that obvious short of breathless just adds to the mood and feeling of the song. Wanting to “know what love is” and he’s giving it 110% although he’s already a bit worn. Just totally feeds to emotion of the song to me. Fantastic video and reaction, Ken!

Ken, new subscriber and found your video about Lou Gramm very interesting. It was great to see and hear Lou Gramm sing. As others have wrote and I agree that he and Steve Perry have to be the pinnacle of frontmen. Great tone, range, and soul in those guys. It's a crime Foreigner aren't in the hall. So, tell me how do frontmen like Lou Gramm keep their voices in shape as they age? Some seem to age better than others, so how can a singer keep age from stealing their range? I'm a drummer so age isn't such a deal for me. But I know it is for vocalists.

There is someone on UA-cam that you need to get in touch with. She did an interview with Lou Gramm at the Vegas residency where he is so performing. Her name is Kiki classic rock. You will love the interview. It goes on for about 35-40 minutes but it is really a great interview and he tells a lot of stories. She's pretty fascinating also. She is a DJ up in Rhode Island. So the two of you should really connect Because of her love of Lou Gramm both of you and she's got tons of connections. Just like you do.
