2018; Steve Perry, former lead singer of Journey, chats to Steve White in one of his first ever UK interviews and one of his first since coming out of retirement.
I always heard people who have met Steve Say that he is a generous, humble and good human. Like most people I always prayed and wished that I would meet my favorite songbird and then it happened. Who would have ever thought. I met Steve at a private event in October 2019 called Mammos & Mimosas in Providence Rhode Island. Yep the man is a total package. He told us stories, we laughed, we sang a little, we asked him questions and then we were able to talk to him one on one for a little bit and take photos. I fell in love with Steve all over again just like I did when I was 16 in 1977/78. Yep October 2019 still the best day ever!
Great interview with Steve x2. The more I hear Steve Perry as a human, not just his stratospheric voice and talent, the more I like and respect him. To have his musical gift, and still be very grounded, amazing. ❤
What a kind, humble, and gracious man you are, Steve. Your honesty brings me to tears for so many reasons. I have loved you for over 40 years. Bless you, I so hope to meet you one day.❤
He’s so gorgeous inside and out, I admire him for his talent, his deep feelings about people, himself and life, sounds like he could write a book about life.
Thanks for being my great and loyal fan, it's been a wonderful journey through the years. Kindly send me a mail steveperry285@gmail.com how long you've been my beloved fan
Love Steve's interviews. I always learn something new and wonderful about him! He's so down to earth and humble, so real in his conversations. It's so refreshing that he hasn't let the success of music and fame change him, to forget how and where he came from. That's what makes him special and loved by his 4-ever fans! You're truly beautiful inside and out!💕💕💕💕💕💕
Hello Velma, how're you doing? Your comments caught my attention and that is why I am reaching out to you. Your fan love for me warms my heart, Thank you! It's nice meeting you here.
He comes alive when he talks about music, even though he wanted to walk away......he sounds so sincere as he talks about his life......but since he's been absent lately, his voice is terribly missed again....he's a drug his fans are addicted to
Steve Perry, you may never see this comment but if you think about it, you left us (your fans) like your father left you. You used to sing to us every day, through our radios, TVs, albums, tapes, and cds, and then you just left and didn't look back. I know it was necessary for you to do it for yourself, and we're glad you're "still here" but like your father leaving you took something from you and you still feel that pain to this day, your leaving and not coming back did something to us. It broke our hearts. But, you said "a heart is never truly full of love until it's been broken", or something like that. We're just ever so glad you're back! 🤗🤗 The feeling you probably have imagined over and over about seeing your father returning back into your life is the joyous feeling we have over you coming back AND singing once again. If you ever do another concert, rest assured, I will be in the front row giving you a distant hug! Thank you so much for keeping Kellie's promise and not staying away again! We'll be forever grateful that she came into your life! ❤❤😊😊😊🥰
Stumbled upon this interview, I'm glad I did. I have listened to many Steve Perry interviews but somehow you got him to say new things or expand on things he had said before. Maybe he was just comfortable with you and/or the setting. Thank so much this is a wonderful interview. Always loved Steve's voice and still do!!
I was never fortunate enough to see you perform. The first time I heard him sing was when he was new to Journey. He was fantastic then, and he is still amazing. Always a fan I wish the best for him today and always.
The "Ifs" and "maybes" would have changed things for him and the group as well as for us as fans. Maybe If Herbie hadn't pushed them as hard as he did and maybe if they were given breaks to enjoy life, they wouldn't have been burnt out. Especially after they become popular. Maybe more family time would have helped with relationships and less divorces and apologizes to the family. If it there was more fun and connection outside of writing and preforming? You have to not only enjoy your job but the secret to loving it is the people you work with the atmosphere of the work place and the desire to be together. I sense friction and resentment, being overworked and the lack of closeness, drained them emotionally The group maybe didn't see it but Steve did and he had to stop. He found peace and I am happy for him.

Thank you Steve for sharing more memories for this middle aged woman who has a lifetime of memories growing up with you, and yes my mother raised me on Sam Cooke as well. With all the greats and you are at my very top. God bless you always. ♥️🌹🎶💋
Hello Rhodora, how're you doing? Your comments caught my attention and that is why I am reaching out to you. Your fan love for me warms my heart, Thank you! It's nice meeting you here.
I have loved his voice since 1979. Best trawling music (from California to Georgia…in a van with two dogs) Wheel In The Sky, which resonated with my husband and myself, not knowing what the future held for us. Good memories are are associated with Journey and Steve Perry!
What a beautiful, heart warming conversation your shared about some of your life, Steve. We are all so drawn to you because you are living your bliss...your heart and soul are so tangible as you speak your truth and of course sing your magnetic songs... I am discovering you by discovering myself...thank you for being you!

It’s so nice to hear you speak of all these past episodes of your life. Wishing you enormous luck, not that you need it, and stay healthy...I’ve only just discovered you 👍
I love Steve Perry in any way shape or form 💜 !! ... as much as I would love to see him one more time fronting Journey (never got to see them live back in the day), I want him to be happy and satisfied with his life as he seems to be now ... so if he never goes back to Journey, but does continue to share new solo music 🎶 with us all, I am ok with that ... if fact, I'm just thrilled Steve is back and hope he continues on sharing his amazing talents with us all !! ... seeing him someday, whether singing live or just at a charity function, will always be on my bucket list ... long live The Voice !! 💜💜💜🎶🎤🎶💜💜💜
I actually called up Steve's vocal coach Judy C . She was so sweet . That's how much he inspired me . In that yellow shirt back in the 80's Cowpalace S.F. , i saw them bring out on stage the 49ers for the ancore . They won that year and 5 more times after that . Best show of my life .
@@tammyf.7864 She was in Berkely / Oakland . I called her on the phone and she was very nice . Judy Cambell . A Julliard graduate well known vocal coach . She took him to the highest level . Thats how he became a legend .
@@davidbobo9740 David, thanks for sharing that! How did you ever find out about this tidbit? (And yet another bit of info about Steve's legendary voice!) Did she say anything about Steve's natural talent?
@@tammyf.7864 I wanted to learn how to sing and i loved singing all my life . I ended up learning in S.F City College by Mrs . Judy Hubbell . I even asked Judy H if she's heard about Judy C , and she said of course an exelent teacher . But 100 an hour was beyond me . I started as a roady for a local band and the singer learned by Judy C . His voice , control and range went up . He told me about Mrs. Cambell .
I cud've sworn Steve seemed to have a bit of an English accent at the beginning of the interview. . hehe. Humble & eloquent as always. Pleasant, Gracious, Awesome interview Steve White ! Thank You👍.
@Steve Perry Oh God it is so wonderful that you answered. Bless you and thank you for your music, sharing as much as is humanly possible and being oh so real!
@Steve Perry I do hope, if ever, to meet you. But if that never happens, I can always relish appreciating you in this cosmos. And knowing that we are all not perfect. But that you were willing to expose some of your wounds and you give everyone hope if they want it!
Steve, It’s so funny you talk about 45 records..... my dad was a HS band director and I remember hearing Let It Be on a floppy 45 sample when I was so young. You and I walk everyday the weather permits and you are my constant companion. All my Love!!

Voice says everything Kelly was just a fan there was no love, sorry ! The voices & tone the story changes so it feels & sounds like an act! Should get an award for best actor!
How come everyone has all these nice things to say about Steve Perry now not remembering that when he was in journey he basically took control of the band fired too long time members of the band and was a complete ego maniac Because his girlfriend died now we all have the sympathy for him the guy's an a******
I was thinking WOW as well... but also... John needs to look inside of himself as those things you judge in others are the very thing one dislikes within themselves... very sad only. In this time of ascension judgment is something we need not afford. “He ain’t heavy, he’s my brother.... “ I never had his fame, however I have been an ass at times... perhaps not intentionally... love you brother

What a spectacular interview--love Steve Perry. How awesome to have the opportunity to meet and chat with him. I wish him every success and happiness.
He did what he had to do for himself. I so respect him for that. Welcome back, Steve. This new music is soul touching. 💙
Ever look at someone and think to yourself, "I hope this person lives FOREVER!"
LIVE FOREVER, Steve! Make music FOREVER!!!
(FAITHFULLY!!)
♥️
💯Prozent richtig, besser kann man es nicht sagen 💖
Maybe he will! Earth is going into ascension and we are going with her, so maybe he’ll get a few more centuries 😘
