The singer Lou Gramm lives in my hometown. I was out to breakfast about 6 months ago and he sat at the table next to me. He is such a good guy and down to earth. You'd never know by talking to him that he sang some of the greatest songs of his generation.
@@Gov.audits he is always out at the car and bike nights, very big supporter of supporting small local businesses. Raising money where he can for a good cause.
One of these guys , is the step father of Mark Ronson , I have heard him credit his step father with allowing him access to the musical things that are now his craft ! What a blessing ! I hope he gets an extra heap of blessings for that , both of them . A good step parent can establish an entirely new genre ! What a blessing
As a music artist yourself, the Foreigner song you need to check is "Juke Box Hero" if you learn the backstory of the song and who wrote it and why they wrote it, I think you will be able to relate.
This song was written about my life. I met the most beautiful and amazing woman 40 years ago at the lowest point of my life. I was broken. She introduced me to Jesus. That was a life changer. God has blessed us abundantly as He made her my wife!!!!!! These was the turing point of my life serving Him under His lead our lives!❤ We are now closer and deeper in love than ever. Grateful tĥat we all are blessed with amazing divine health! So, we enjoy listening to the 70s & 80s music, especially this song, when we go out crusing in the exotic speed machine I bought her a few months ago for her birthday, just because I like her. She still looks hotter than the car, and I don't mind that kind of problem! On top of that, we have 7 wonderful adult children and our 5 priceless grandchildren. I consider myself to be the most blessed man alive!!!!!
Bro, I love your channel....full stop. But you are killing me when you react to these iconic songs, and say "I know I've heard this somewhere.". Yes, yes you have! They are in movies, TV shows, elevators, grocery stores, commercials, airports, every adult contemporary radio station in the country. You know them without knowing them, because they're in our culture. Our subconscious! They're played everywhere. 😁 Keep On Keepin' on, I love watching you learn these new songs in a whole different light
I just love watching your reactions to all the music I grew up with. I'm a 64 year old woman and to watch you and other young people enjoy "real" music and fall in love with it is wonderful! Back in the day artist did not have all the equipment that the artist use today. They had true talent! Love to you and bless you!
I like their song “Double Vision”, a lot of their songs were late 70’s but this one was 80’s and probably was their biggest hit! Would love to see you do some Styx my favorite is “Renegade” love watching your journey into these classics!❤️🔥✌🏻🫶🏻
The 80s was known for their "Anthems" which this is among the best. This was the era of Queen and Golden Earring. Check out "Twilight Zone" by Golden earring. The best version of that IMO is the live show in Leiden. The song starts "There's a sign at the end of the road that says "Next Stop, The Twilight Zone.
I heard it on the 80's Miami Vice as a background. I can see the scene it came in on. Lots of tears. The song stays with you for your lifetime. I'm 78 and still brings up memories.
Foreigner has a HUGE catalogue of serious bangers. Juke Box Hero, Hot-Blooded, Cold as Ice, Waiting for a Girl Like You, That was Yesterday, Say You Will, Urgent, etc., etc.
Miami Vice was the first time I heard this song. Also the first truly sexy black love affair, complicated by he's a cop and she's a killer story. I have confused history with this time; however, it was explosive network tv. It also introduced me to Edward James Olmos. He is truly a dude who broke molds. I don't think that the musical Zoot Suit is somewhere you want to go, but damn, understanding the times and places. The struggle is broad, and intensely personal.
dont think they done a bad song, so many well known hits, luv the reactions,hot blooded, juke box hero, urgent, cold as ice, dirty white boy, double vision, head games, long long way from home, feels like the 1st time, a few just for starters, hope you enjoy. best wishes rose from oxford england. ❤❤❤
My late Daddy absolutely adored Foreigner!🙏 He had all their early hits on 8-track, so they were always blasting in the house when I was a little baby. I highly recommend taking a listen to "Urgent." It's on that "Cold As Ice" vibe but soooo much better. There's a killer sax solo in that one you're gonna love!♥️🎷
It took me several watches to realize that…they’re going about their workday to eventually convene and participate in the song. It even shows the lady passing out lyrics sheets on the bus.
I don't even listen to the music of today, country isn't even the same as it used to be in the 60's & 70's. This group is from the 70's & early 80's, love all of their songs. Listen to the 70's group Styx "The Grand Illusion" album, it rocks. The baby boomers generation had the best music of all time. Keep reacting to the past and you will see why it was and is the best. People don't sing like that now, everything is digitally done and you are not hearing their real voice. Back in the 50's, 60's and 70's all that you heard was their real voice, just the singer, a microphone and instruments. You had to have a great voice to make it in that business back then, now not so much. You learn something new everyday and you are learning to love the music that we the baby boomers listened too. We did have a great time back then, love ,peace and war "Vietnam". A lot of the songs back then were written about the war, calling for Peace. Woodstock was part of that Era too, all about peace, love and the war. Peace out baby✌️❤
I hate it when people say this. There's TONS of amazing music coming out today fyi. I'm a classically trained violinist who spent the last 10 years working at the pretty big music venue, and saw live music almost every night. If you actually go out and see music you'll realize there's tons of amazing bands today, like Fleet Foxes, Whitney, Bahamas, Hiss Golden Messenger, Kacey Musgraves, King Gizzard and the Lizard Wizard, Paul Cauthen, Bleachers... I could go on forever.
@@dorothykelley1881 They do though. I'm a classical musician and I've seen thousands of bands live because of my job, and I can assure you that there is TONS of amazing musicians and bands touring today that make music that is life changing, you just have to be open to new music, and unfortunately most people think the music they grew up with was the best. I'm sure your parents thought the music from their generation was better than yours, but the fact is that every generation has tons of great music!
Foreigner is the best live band in the world and have a huge following in both the US and the UK for forty years now. This was the big hit of album 5. The song that you really need to hear is "JUKE BOX HERO", there are live versions of this which include Led Zeppelin`s Whole Lotta Love in the guitar solo. "Urgent" is another banger by this group, once you`ve heard it ,its there forever.
Welcome to Lou Graham, and Foreigner one of the best voices EVER!!!!! When this song is performed in concert, they usually have a choir contest for a group of school kids usually, to sing background in this song.
Foreigner were a huge stadium band. This was their biggest song worldwide. And Lou Gramm has one of the best voices ever. The other big ballad from was "Waiting for a girl like you" But they were primarily a rock band and a dam good one too. Another group of the same era. You may like to check out is Journey. You may know one or two of their songs. They also had one of the best vocalist ever in Steve Perry. Another huge band with some great ballads like "Open Arms" and some great rock songs like "Separate Ways" And you might know their most famous song " Don't stop believing " Whatever you choose to do I'll be hear to watch it. One of my favorite channels on the tube.
I like these reactions because it's getting really rare to get an honest reaction to something like this. It's like seeing gold for the first time. Now with AI we will have a hard time seeing what is real. This is real, a reaction to something really truly unique in time. You can't get that more than once. It's more rare than gold and will become even more rare in the future because we all get more and more connected through time and space. Those of us that lived through the times of these songs have a special place, but also those of you that haven't heard these songs yet and can still react to it. That's also gold.
It was a monster hit and you just explained why. It still hits me HARD. Keep on, really like your style, you are serious and have humour, your points always makes sense. Well i think i,ve told you this before but i can do it again haha.
I was watching one of those singing competition, not sure which one, and the title of the song comes up "I wanna know what love is," by......Mariah Carey. I couldn't believe it. I hate when these kids drop today give credit to the cover of the song they are covering, instead of the original.
Wow-I love Foreigner!! Thank you!! I have several favorites-they have so many!! Like “Cold as Ice”, “Urgent , “Head Games”, “Feels Like the First Time”, “Hot Blooded”, “Double Vision”!! So many great songs-this took me back to my teenage days!! Thanks so much!! 🎵🥳
It's not just you BP....we all love that. We want to have hope that things are good or will get better. For more Foreigner check out Cold As Ice, Hot Blooded, Jukebox Hero, Double Vision, Waiting For A Girl Like You, Urgent...so many good songs...
Foreigner was a favourite of mine and Lou Gramm has a beautiful amazing voice and the band is wonderful. Lou went through a very serious brain tumour & was told he was terminal when he went to the doctor complaining of blurred vision and massive head aches. He went home to get his affairs in order and he watched a program in TV and there was a doctor being interviewed and he was a brain specialist and was speaking about a very new surgery that he does for inoperable tumours. The next day was Friday and Lou contacted that doctor and by Tuesday he was in the operating room having it removed. He survived and had to overcome a lot but he’s still here and is a wonderful human. I enjoy your reactions and thanks for sharing.
I saw Foreigner when this song was big. I can still remember the crowd's reaction when the choir (in robes) came out! It was a local college's choir. It hadn't even occurred to me that they would have a choir!
In addition to the voice work the bass line is absolutely outstanding!! One of my all time favorite songs of love. Great reaction analysis as always man. As we say in Texas; y'all be safe.
Lou gramm is the single most underrated singer of the 80s. He’s an absolute beast.

It’s a travesty that Foreigner is not in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. So many bangers.
They got voted in this year 2024
@@SandraJones-py1bd well deserved!!
Hall of Fame is a JOKE!
I doubt they even care
It’s embarrassing
@@HoneyBee03272 They actually got in this year
So many good ones from these guys! Juke Box Hero, Cold as Ice, Hot Blooded, Urgent
Cold as ice is a better song for me, you can't help singing along to be
He just did "Cold As Ice" yesterday.

I'm 76 and I also love seeing the younger generation enjoying the music we love!
The guy you're talking about is Daniel Stern. He was also the voice as adult Kevin in the wonder years. Which stared Fred Savage.
"Waiting For A Girl Like You"; "That Was Yesterday "; "Hot Blooded"; all great, others too!
"Waiting for a girl like you" and "That was yesterday" are my FAVORITES ❤❤
One of the best songs of any decade.
This year, Foreigner was Finally inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame.
I like their song “Double Vision”, a lot of their songs were late 70’s but this one was 80’s and probably was their biggest hit! Would love to see you do some Styx my favorite is “Renegade” love watching your journey into these classics!❤️🔥✌🏻🫶🏻
Some R.E.O. Speedwagon too, they have some great songs with this same kinda vibe. Really great bands, both of them.
The 80s was known for their "Anthems" which this is among the best. This was the era of Queen and Golden Earring. Check out "Twilight Zone" by Golden earring. The best version of that IMO is the live show in Leiden. The song starts "There's a sign at the end of the road that says "Next Stop, The Twilight Zone.
At the live show, for this album, a local radio station had a contest, and 100 of us were lucky enough to be on stage and sing this with foreigner
When I was a junior in high school I saw Journey open for Foreigner. Several hors of two of the best voices in rock history.
lucky!
I would have loved that. Journey was my favorite and I loved Foreigner as well
I heard it on the 80's Miami Vice as a background. I can see the scene it came in on. Lots of tears.
The song stays with you for your lifetime. I'm 78 and still brings up memories.
Lou Graham was a fantastic vocalist, but that choir made it even better
It's the New Jersey choir. The harmonies are amazing
One of Foreigner’s greatest hits!!! Been on my playlist for decades!! 😊
Lou Gramm, the lead singer, has an excellent solo song called "Midnight Blue". Great song to listen to.
This is one of their ballads, they normally put out bangers and rockers.
This was one request before my dear momma passed. She made me promise to play this at her funeral. Her last wish was made. My momma loved her 80s’!
This song still gives me chills. The choir…perfection.
Lou Gramm's voice up with Steve Perry's out of journey
Equally excellent singers. Probably the top 2 of the Rock genre
Don’t forget Freddy Mercury, Billy Idol, Phil Collins.
Thank you! 💕
We had the best music! I wish I could go back to the 70’s -80’s
IMO Foreigner is one of the top Rock and Roll Hall of Fame snubs!
No more.
Good gosh i always loved listening to Foreigner. They were up there with Bad Company in fav bands of mine
Foreigner has a HUGE catalogue of serious bangers. Juke Box Hero, Hot-Blooded, Cold as Ice, Waiting for a Girl Like You, That was Yesterday, Say You Will, Urgent, etc., etc.
This is on my 80s play list always play this it is the soul 80s feel song
Miami Vice was the first time I heard this song. Also the first truly sexy black love affair, complicated by he's a cop and she's a killer story.

The struggle is broad, and intensely personal.
Foreigner "WAITING FOR A GIRL LIKE YOU" and "THAT WAS YESTERDAY" are my favorite songs ever by them. soo good ❤❤ (studio versions)
After REO Speedwagon and Foreigner did a tour together, Kevin Cronin said he considers Lou Gramm "the Sinatra of Classic Rock".
Agree that when I'm having a down day, THIS is the music I want to listen to, this era - not the sad depressing stuff that is today's sound.
"Juke Box Hero", Dirty White Boy", and just about anything off of Foreigner 4 will blow you away.
dont think they done a bad song, so many well known hits, luv the reactions,hot blooded, juke box hero, urgent, cold as ice, dirty white boy, double vision, head games, long long way from home, feels like the 1st time, a few just for starters, hope you enjoy. best wishes rose from oxford england. ❤❤❤

There are no rules! Do whatever TF u want, and those of us who really rock with u will stick around for the ride! I'm 💯 down for Mariah & Sam Cooke!!
What was amazing about Lou Gramm, even after 20-30 years his voice was still great. One of the best rock singers of all time
The "hook" in this song has been in several movies.
I've seen them in concert and bring in local choirs to sing this song.
Baby-making song at its best ❤
No one seems to realise that all the workers in the video are the choir
Omg....I have never put that together & I've seen that video so many times in the past 40 years. Thanks saul!
@CharCanuck14 I've watched so many reactions to this song and none of them realised so I had too say lol , thanks for the message , your welcome

Did you hear that high note he sang at the end of the song? Incredible!
Brings me right back to the 80's❤❤❤❤❤❤
Fantastic concerts. Those were the days.
It reminds me of my children
Foreigner has a ton of memorable tracks: I see you did Cold as Ice... check out Jukebox Hero when you get a chance.

One of the best songs I have heard in my 55-year old life. 😍Thank you for this!
Love Foreigner they were so big in the 70’s and 80’s
This song just gets me to the core every time I hear it.
I absolutely loved Foreigner
Try "voice of the beehive"… "Monsters and angels". A great track by a great band
Your going down the memory lane recently. Oh my teenage years. This was a song we all looked forward to dance with the boy you liked, hahhhhh.
My 1986 wedding song!
He was just feeling the music. He has soul.
Ive skated many a night to Foreigner at the rink in my teens
Yes M. Carey did record this, but Foreigner is the original. It has been used in movies, and there are a lot of covers out there.
Foreigner were a huge stadium band. This was their biggest song worldwide. And Lou Gramm has one of the best voices ever. The other big ballad from was "Waiting for a girl like you"
But they were primarily a rock band and a dam good one too.
Another group of the same era. You may like to check out is Journey. You may know one or two of their songs. They also had one of the best vocalist ever in Steve Perry.
Another huge band with some great ballads like
"Open Arms" and some great rock songs like "Separate Ways"
And you might know their most famous song
" Don't stop believing "

He is in the song writers hall of fame!
That tall dude is in city slickers as well with billy crystal
love watching you learn..
watch the movie 'Rock of Ages', this song takes on a whole different meaning
It was a monster hit and you just explained why. It still hits me HARD. Keep on, really like your style, you are serious and have humour, your points always makes sense. Well i think i,ve told you this before but i can do it again haha.
I agree. He has a cool & unique style.
Seeing this song live was amazing. They toured with the choir back then.
This is one of my favourite songs of my teenage years. Came out when I was 13. Love it!
I saw Foreigner, Derringer & Cheap Trick !! It was before Breakfast in America album came out!! Great concert!!
One of the best groups love love this
Foreigner ❤. I danced with my eldest son at his wedding to this song. They were GOATS...
Long, long way from home is another great banger from them
