His song here is the real deal, written about a real relationship and true love. This is one of rock’s best songs. I’ve got my own Sherrie. Her name is Stacy
I cried when a read she had died in 2022. She was absolutely beautiful. It's hard to believe this song is 40 yrs old as we speak. Maybe that's why I cried. Where has my youth gone? Luckily for me there will always be these songs. Journey was nowhere near my favorite band but no denying Perry was one of the best singers. I could watch the video on repeat for hours. Seems like another universe and it was definitely more innocent times. Keep trucking Steve and RIP Sherrie.
Two Sherries? Not sure who these other commentors are talking about but.... both the woman in the video and the woman to whom the song is dedicated to is Steve's girlfriend at that time, Sherrie Swafford. She was American, with one source saying she was born on 10/30/1957 and another saying 1956 and yet another 1953. She and Steve broke up in 1985 presumably due to pressures of him touring with Journey and him not wanting to get married at the time, but according to them both they did remain friends. They never married nor had children together (although one article says they were married and divorced...and then later on in that same article it says she was never married). Sherrie passed away (according to most articles) on 11/22/2022 at age 66 of natural causes, although there is an article that says she passed in 2004 of cancer (they might have mixed her up with another of Steve's girlfriends, Kellie Nash) and yet another saying she is still alive and still other articles that talk about her in the present tense (probably because they were written before her death). There is also an article that says Sherrie has a son named Shamaree but again, that might be a mix-up with Steve's daughter Shamila who was born from a brief fling in the 1990's.
FYI, Journey destroyed his vocals. His voice will always be 1 of 1 but the new voice is Arnel Pineda. Arnel Pineda’s voice is also getting destroyed by Journey lol 😂😂😂

Yup, that's why there weren't as many bands or singers because you had to actually be able to sing to make it. It's been proved steve is the best male vocalist ever.
Yeah, and there were also no end of Grahams out there whose only real skill was to take that kind of raw talent, suck the magic out and leave nothing but sappy mush in its place. Fuck Graham (the director character in the beginning scene in case anyone missed it)
I'm 5 years younger, and until someone on TH-cam brought it to my attention, I didn't know that this was Steve Perry without Journey. 😄 (It was Penn Holderness...famous TH-cam vocalist and winner of the Amazing Race)
I think if you listen to Miljenko from Steelheart and one of his songs She's Gone. you will see what I mean. I love steve Perry also, but Miljenko has the range and power and pure energy to wake the dead, calm the rough seas, Saud the savage beast, and in the end WIN the HEART.. He is deemed the MAHATMA. Check him out..
This Song Came Out,The Year I Was Born,Hard To Believe It's Been 40 Years Since This Came Out,Time Goes By & I Been Listening To This Song All Of My Life, Still Sounds Better Every Time I Hear It & My Birthday Is On The 6th Of This Month, I Will Be 40 Years Old
THOUGHT Steve Perry was late 70s with the don't stop believing music , with all the style of clothing and the hair too looked like it too.. Peace and love
He can sing. But, he can EMOTE. He can convey powerful emotions as he hits notes and sings. That is the difference between a catchy song and a timeless song.
I used to care for a lady , end of life/hospice, and her name was Sherrie. She was a flower child, attended Woodstock Festival, protested and marched for what she believed in. She shared so many awesome stories of her life and I cherish all the laughs and moments we spent until she drifted away painlessly in her sleep. She loved this song. RIP Sherrie.
I'm so sorry Same name but I'm sure not of her majestic spirit. I'll keep trying. Btw.. I love my name. Be safe.. And find joy again. Life's too short.
This is such a beautiful song. This used to be my wife’s favorite song. We played this at her funeral as her last request before she passed away. Every time I listen to this, it gets too emotional.
My mom's favorite song. She just had a stroke. Playing it today for her, she was tapping her foot and mouthing the words. Was awesome to see. Thank you, Steve. ❤
My dad actually played with Journey as a fill in for Neil Schon on tour when he was too jacked up to play. They used to have breakfast everyday. I always wanted to meet Neil but it never came to pass. Dad also had a stroke recently and had to have both of legs amputated due to diabetes. I also played this song for him. He loved it. I find myself looking back at these classics and loving them just as much as he does. Seeing him get giddy was so awesome. Wish you the best.
How true! He was very protective and tried to take care of his voice. He wasn’t a dummy like many other singers of the day. Journey isn’t my favorite band, but if I could pick a singing voice for myself it would definitely be his.
This classic masterpiece still sounds as good today as when it was released in 1984. Steve Perry's voice is so beautiful and has so much power and soul. Tuneless music sung by a one of a kind music legend.
THE VOICE. This is what many musicians called Steve , regardless of how good they may have been themselves. They, I surmise, just recognized extraordinary vocal talent when they heard it. Personally I was never a huge journey fan growing up but I still love a lot of their songs and especially when Steve was the lead vocalist. Nothing against the new lead singer…he’s fantastic…but Steve Perry was like in the Freddie Mercury class. They could hit almost any note that needed to be hit and I personally think Mercury and Perry are absolutely amazing vocal talents.
I agree with everything you said. I have Freddie Mercury, Stevie Wonder, Michael Jackson, Steve Perry, James Brown as the most influential vocalist in the past century. If you analyze each of them there are lots of similarities believe it or not.
Don't forget that Geoff Tate, the original singer of Queensryche, also has a 4 octave range as Steve Perry. However, Tate's vocal range was better, from F♯1 - G♯5.
It's crazy ain't it, I can remember standing at the bus stop talking about this song with a few of my buddies, two of which are twins and one of the twins says "man that guy sounds just like the guy from Journey" lol. His twin then tells him "they're the same person dumbass" lol.
Man, the 70's and 80's were a lucky time. Steve Perry, Freddie Mercury, Michael Jackson...the musical talent of that time is just staggering. Today we have... well, probably no one that will be hailed as "The Voice" for decades to come.
You know, I'm Brazilian and just discover about he a few days ago, I'm really amazed, what a voice, what a talent! Invincible! Im in love for this singer!

The lyrics are actually slightly wrong: "But I should've been gone, Long ago, far away And you should've been gone Now I know YOU LIE YOU'LL STAY" Thank you for taking the time to post them though. :) Always helpful!
Steve Perr6y Good Morning sweetie! OK how do you want to do this exactly? I have a hair appointment., then I have to stop at a friend's and pay her for a few things I bought... and then I am going 3
UK here and i'm 43 now. Nothing sounds original anymore. Everything is sampled to death and replayed in a different way. These guys were the Smoothest cats of their time. Just sensational!

There will NEVER EVER be a vocal talent in this life time like the Amazing range of Steve Perry. Any one that knows me, knows I AM HIS BIGGEST fan.Even my license plates say JOURNEY. WE all miss you.
Happy 72nd birthday to a legendary rock and roll icon, Steven ray Perry you encouraged us all to Never stop believing and reach for our goals. You’ve redefined the rock ballad and wrote music that made young women scream and men wish they were you. Have a rocking birthday and many more, rock on Dude 😎
I love you Steve Perry ! Saw you in concert 1986 in Seattle, WA You guys were great ! Especially you of course ! I wish you the best of health and hope your voice gets better. God bless you always. I've always been in love with you . ❤️ Lynn Borbe in fb
Steve Perry you have the best voice among the group on par with Freddie Mercury . Those times are unforgettable and priceless. Thank you for the incredible music . Love this video.
From what I heard, Steve was ranked #4 high note hitter in terms of popularity vote and he's the favorite singer to the wife of Dee Snider from Twisted Sister. But really, he lost out to Mariah Carey!? UGH!! You have _GOT_ to be kidding me! #StevePerry
Oh how I had the biggest crush on Steve Perry, whew! His voice for lack of a better word soars. One of the best vocalists in Rock history. Journey with him was magic.
My daughters were born before I met their mom. Never thought of them as stepdaughters. My oldest said I’m not her step dad , but the dad that stepped up. But this song still gets to me. Went through all of these emotions in this song. I cried both times as I walked Taylor and Torie down the aisle. Love both of you.❤
They said that about the 80’s generation as well. I recall older people lamenting about the new wave, moog synthesizers, the hair, the predominance of drugs, the guitar solos, they even criticized how video ruined radio and on and on. Its just part of how each generation romances their nostalgia.
I was born but just a little too young for the Frontiers album. I would have loved💜to see Journey in concert then. I was a very young teen when this came out. I absolutely love him, his voice! Amazing💞 At Christmas time I was blessed enough to receive a test pressing vinyl album with his autograph on it and numbered, a marble album of the Christmas album, varsity jacket that says SP big on the back and small on the front. So blessed🙏
We can just keep in mind what the Bible says... ie. There - is - going to be a resurrection, so, all the wonderful voices we knew will be right back here again someday in the ", new earth" promised, at Revelation 21 :1-5, with no more tears, and if the want to sing their hearts out once again, they no doubt can forever, for their joy, ours, and the Creator of such voices as Steve Perry's. And what we can do now to one day find ourselves there too, is to... "make sure of all things, (&) hold fast to what is fine"! (1Thess.5 :21, the Bible) We sure have a lot to look forward to!
Grandma?? Pls stop! you makes me feel old! (remember well when it came out; I recorded in VHS a saturday evening in the winter of..1984? (...the famous seems yerstarday)
This takes me back to a place when life was perfect. Didn’t have a pot to piss in, and was happy with just having fun and dreaming about my future. Now, I’m stressed about how much I will need and how I’m gonna get it. Enjoy your youth, I know I did. 🤣
Steve Perry. I knew he was great in 78/79. Just appreciate his voice so much more today. Such a rare voice and the band just so cool. Total legends. Faithfully is truly a top 5 song of all time!
Steve Perry’s voice oh amazing with his raspiness I love all his ballads especially Foolish Heart and oh Sherry faithfully and open arms. One of the greatest artists of all times.❤
That first line “ You shoulda been gone!!!”...Steve Perry’s voice pierces right through you! Amazing singer..The best 80s Rock Vocalist hands down!! Miss these times.
Thanks for that interview with Dan it really answered alot of questions for alot of people. My generation will always remember you and always love that music.
You are so right. It was a time with more simplicity. Lovely song. Steve Perry's voice is so beautiful, and like no other. This song is a treasure. ❤️✨🌟
The Voice.. absolutely love this song and Steve Perry.. his voice is just amazing.. there will never be another voice like this.. his talent is unique..
Perfect singer with perfect vocals and pitch then and now!! No one can touch him vocally ever!! Once you’ve heard the best there’s no substitute!!!❤️🎤🎼🎶
The planets must have aligned magically for a decade to produced the finest music we will ever know. Thank God Journey, Steve and the 80's were a very sweet part of our lives... always those "memories remain".
I just got chills and goosebumps really listening to the words and watching his face as he sang his heart out. Nobody else will ever be able to compete with Steve Perry's voice.

Any song Steve Perry and Journey did turned into a classic
Exactly 💯
Steve Perry siempre será la mejor voz masculina de rock de todos los tiempos!!!
Dedico esta cancion a Yoelmy mi ex companera del colegio Simon Bolivar 1998-1999
His song here is the real deal, written about a real relationship and true love. This is one of rock’s best songs. I’ve got my own Sherrie. Her name is Stacy
I like the song about her mom
Exactly 💯
u mean Stacy's mom?
@@michaellorenzzbindoc1324 my ex wife is Stacy.
I just am so in love with his voice, always was as a teen, and still a great fan of Steve !
Love you Steve!❤
This is 40 years old and still sounds as great today as it did back in 1984
No, no, no. That's not right, 1984 was just a couple of years ago!
Yeah, I'm with Karin. I can't be that old.
It's March 2024 and this song as a single is now 40 years old, even though we don't know the exact date of its release as a single.
I totally agree💯💯💯💯💯💯💯
Today, May 24th, marks my 44th year of life. Crazy to think this song been in my life 40 of those 44.
I cried when a read she had died in 2022. She was absolutely beautiful. It's hard to believe this song is 40 yrs old as we speak. Maybe that's why I cried. Where has my youth gone?

Who still loves the Journey we remember from the 80s? No one can replace the Iconic voice of Steve Perry. Feb 2024.
We are seeing the new band this April and can’t wait (not new band just lead singer)
Yes, but this music video is awful.
FYI, Journey destroyed his vocals. His voice will always be 1 of 1 but the new voice is Arnel Pineda. Arnel Pineda’s voice is also getting destroyed by Journey lol 😂😂😂
Love Journey
@GregoryChew0921 this is classic 80s video!!
Do you guys get goose bumps when he starts signing.. every time... after all these years! What a voice!!
Yes! Every time is like the first time! Omg, how I treasure this man’s voice. And authenticity.
@@janetcunningham7674 i just saw your reply and played it and yeap! goose bumps.. does not fail 😀
Absolutely !! Nearly tearful too, during the whole passionate song. His voice is so powerful.
I also get goose bumps! His voice is like magic, it’s almost illegal.
Truly is a great voice I grew up in this era but to make a long story short pull my finger LOL
Ladies and gentlemen, the world's greatest vocalist, ever, Steven Perry!!!
easy there fella...
-definetly !- 💯 🤘 🔥

This song is glorious and so is the singer. Thank you for SINGING as I cannot cope with the “music” of 2024.
Before "Auto tune" there was real talent with heart-felt voices that moved you then and now! Love Steve Perry!
Yup, that's why there weren't as many bands or singers because you had to actually be able to sing to make it. It's been proved steve is the best male vocalist ever.
Yeah, and there were also no end of Grahams out there whose only real skill was to take that kind of raw talent, suck the magic out and leave nothing but sappy mush in its place.
Fuck Graham (the director character in the beginning scene in case anyone missed it)
Those things still exist, just because you ignore them doesn't change that
Hell yeah
He had The ""voice""🎉
I’m 52 yrs old and still madly in love with Steve Perry snd Journey, They will always be my favorite band of all times.
Oh. Ya. Me2. 4.steve.yess.
This is a LOVE song.
I miss Steve Perry. 😢
Me too….love love Steve Perry and Journey=Happy Times
I'm 5 years younger, and until someone on TH-cam brought it to my attention, I didn't know that this was Steve Perry without Journey. 😄
(It was Penn Holderness...famous TH-cam vocalist and winner of the Amazing Race)
Steve Perry was without doubt one of the greatest lead vocalists of all time & I Loved him with Journey...Bands like that don't come around too often.
I think if you listen to Miljenko from Steelheart and one of his songs She's Gone. you will see what I mean. I love steve Perry also, but Miljenko has the range and power and pure energy to wake the dead, calm the rough seas, Saud the savage beast, and in the end WIN the HEART.. He is deemed the MAHATMA. Check him out..
One of the greatest lead vocalists of all time for sure.

that's true. Ha.
This time in 1984, Perry released Sherrie. In 2024 it still captivates and resonates.

Awesome era😊
You should hear me sing then hahahahaha
THOUGHT Steve Perry was late 70s with the don't stop believing music , with all the style of clothing and the hair too looked like it too.. Peace and love
Actually the guy who sang for Journey after Steve left sounds EXACTLY like him.
@@NOMAAM1970 His name is Arnel Pineda, and listen the first concert that they give (Viña del Mar) with him singing, it was AWESOME!!! :)
He can sing. But, he can EMOTE. He can convey powerful emotions as he hits notes and sings. That is the difference between a catchy song and a timeless song.
That's what makes Steve exceptional from d rest of rockers 💯
Yes he can portray emotion In a theatrical manner.
@Steve Perry You're the greatest male vocalist ever!
Well said bro
Steve's vocal sensitivity and expression make him one in a million. Perfection.
I used to care for a lady , end of life/hospice, and her name was Sherrie. She was a flower child, attended Woodstock Festival, protested and marched for what she believed in. She shared so many awesome stories of her life and I cherish all the laughs and moments we spent until she drifted away painlessly in her sleep. She loved this song. RIP Sherrie.
💔🙏
I'm so sorry
Same name but I'm sure not of her majestic spirit. I'll keep trying. Btw.. I love my name. Be safe.. And find joy again. Life's too short.
I'm loving this. Hope you find that joy
Audin, you are a very brave and honorable man
God Bless Sherrie! You were so blessed to have such a kind caregiver!God Bless you also. RIP SHERRIE!
Guy had/has such a powerful voice.
Steve Perry is definitely amongst the greatest vocalists - the a cappella opening of this song is pure GOLD!
Thats his specialty..the a capella..the true test of a Legendary Voice..🎁🎁💝🎈🎼🎵🎶🎹🎻🎧🎸😄😃😍
I just love the closing instumental part
Steve Perry IS the greatest vocalist of all time! He can never or will never be replaced!! Not in my lifetime anyway👍😃
I’m 38 and this song keeps popping in my head
So true. One of the greatest vocalists in rock and roll history.
This is such a beautiful song. This used to be my wife’s favorite song. We played this at her funeral as her last request before she passed away. Every time I listen to this, it gets too emotional.
I hope she is well now. Don't worry. I feel the same when I listen to songs that are emotional.
❤🦋🦋❤
She had great taste. My condolences.
Bless you. Sorry for your loss.
Embrace her request, and cry with the song, and remember the woman she was! Memories brother, memories x x
Steve has probably the best voice in all of rock, no audotune just epic vocals.
Nicht nur wahrscheinlich 💋
The best Malé voice ever no doubt about MR STEVE PERRY
Yes!!!!
That's right no one can beat the voice of Steve Perry
A little black girl, in the hood.. in the 1980's blasting this song.. one of my Fav songs of the 80's. Good music is truly missed..❤❤

The likes of Bach and Beethoven would have respected how Steve Perry used his voice as an instrument of unparalled expression. What a gift!
How true! He was very protective and tried to take care of his voice. He wasn’t a dummy like many other singers of the day. Journey isn’t my favorite band, but if I could pick a singing voice for myself it would definitely be his.
Happy 40th Anniversary To Steve Perry's April 1984 Street Talk Album ❤️🔥

Totally agree✌️😎I also would add the awesome singers from DeepPurple and Kansas ( S. Walsh) onto the list with favourite best rock singers
I agree with everything you said. I have Freddie Mercury, Stevie Wonder, Michael Jackson, Steve Perry, James Brown as the most influential vocalist in the past century. If you analyze each of them there are lots of similarities believe it or not.

Oh, Sherrie, our love
Holds on, holds on
Oh, I want to let go
You'll go on hurtin' me
You'd be better off alone
If I'm not who you thought I'd be
But you know that there's a fever
Oh, that you'll never find nowhere else
Can't you feel it burnin'
On-and-on
Oh, Sherrie, our love
Holds on, holds on
Oh, Sherrie, our love
Holds on, holds on
Oh, Sherrie
[Instrumental Interlude]
Oh, Sherrie
But I should've been gone
Long ago, far away
And you should've been gone
Now I know just why you stay
Oh, Sherrie, our love
Holds on, holds on
Oh, Sherrie, our love
Holds on, holds on
Oh, Sherrie, our love
Holds on, holds on
Hold on
Oh, Sherrie
The lyrics are actually slightly wrong:
"But I should've been gone,
Long ago, far away
And you should've been gone
Now I know YOU LIE YOU'LL STAY"
Thank you for taking the time to post them though. :) Always helpful!
Thank you so much!!
Thank u for taking the time to do this- MUCH APPRECIATED!- I'm not being a jerk but at the end it's you lie you stay
Hermoso tema
Beautyfull!!!
This is a true song about what Steve Perry actually experienced. He really put his heart and soul out there. Love ❤️ you Steve.
@stephenrayperrymusicbegone BOT!
This song is like wine , as the years go by it gets better. Thank you Steve for all the masterpieces. 👍👍👍🙏🙏
Nothing beats the 80s it was one of the best decades in human history and this song is proof of this Steve Perry is a legend
No, the best rock was late 60's and all 70's.
Too Sappy for Steve Perry. This is a Steve Sinatra song.
Nope 1990’s metal and nu metal was the best
Seventies and
Eighties 👍👍👍❤️❤️❤️
The 80s also known as that time aids was invented
I CAN'T EVEN PROCESS HOW BEAUTIFUL HIS VOICE IS...LOVE HIM FOREVER!!!❤
Hello, how are you doing today? Nice meeting you here.
Smooth as Butter........
"...This is a LOVE Song...!"
@@steveperry1291 doing ok how r u
Steve Perr6y Good Morning sweetie! OK how do you want to do this exactly?
I have a hair appointment., then I have to stop at a friend's and pay her for a few things I bought... and then I am going 3
UK here and i'm 43 now. Nothing sounds original anymore. Everything is sampled to death and replayed in a different way. These guys were the Smoothest cats of their time. Just sensational!
You should've been gone
Knowing how I made you feel
And I should've been gone
After all your words of steel
Oh, I must've been a dreamer
And I must've been someone else
And we should've been over
Oh, Sherrie, our love
Holds on, holds on
Oh, Sherrie, our love
Holds on, holds on
Oh, I want to let go
You'll go on hurtin' me
You'd be better off alone
If I'm not who you thought I'd be
But you know that there's a fever
Oh, that you'll never find nowhere else
Can't you feel it burnin'
On-and-on
Oh, Sherrie, our love
Holds on, holds on
Oh, Sherrie, our love
Holds on, holds on
Oh, Sherrie
Oh, Sherrie
But I should've been gone
Long ago, far away
And you should've been gone
Now I know you'd lie
You'll stay
Oh, Sherrie, our love
Holds on, holds on
Oh, Sherrie, our love
Holds on, holds on
Oh, Sherrie, our love
Holds on, holds on
Hold on
Oh, Sherrie
Danica ..Thanks a lot by the lyrics ...those wonderful 80 ' s!!!...
@James if I'm listening to Steve Perry in 2022 then life must be good... 🦋
There will NEVER EVER be a vocal talent in this life time like the Amazing range of Steve Perry. Any one that knows me, knows I AM HIS BIGGEST fan.Even my license plates say JOURNEY. WE all miss you.
Cool... I thought I was their biggest fan, lolz ;)
Lol, I thought it was me. Love Journey, but only with Steve "the voice" Perry!
Wait, I thought his biggest fan was ME!! Lol Let's face it, Stevie has so many!!! We're a loyal bunch!!!
Playing devils advocate here, there are voices with more range. But..none sound anywhere near Steve’s voice. Truly the best singer of all time.
Happy 72nd birthday to a legendary rock and roll icon, Steven ray Perry you encouraged us all to Never stop believing and reach for our goals. You’ve redefined the rock ballad and wrote music that made young women scream and men wish they were you. Have a rocking birthday and many more, rock on Dude 😎
Yeah happy birthday Steve! I'm only 15 and I'm a Journey maniac!
,I’m the same age as Steve
Steve looks fantastic & can still sing & move!!! 🤩

Steve Perry, one of the greatest rock singers of ALL time.
I love you Steve Perry ! Saw you in concert 1986 in Seattle, WA You guys were great ! Especially you of course ! I wish you the best of health and hope your voice gets better. God bless you always. I've always been in love with you . ❤️ Lynn Borbe in fb
The BEST rock singer
The greatest singer of all time👍
Steve Perry you have the best voice among the group on par with Freddie Mercury . Those times are unforgettable and priceless. Thank you for the incredible music . Love this video.
Steve Perry far surpassed Freddy
From what I heard, Steve was ranked #4 high note hitter in terms of popularity vote and he's the favorite singer to the wife of Dee Snider from Twisted Sister.
But really, he lost out to Mariah Carey!? UGH!! You have _GOT_ to be kidding me!
#StevePerry
Oh how I had the biggest crush on Steve Perry, whew! His voice for lack of a better word soars. One of the best vocalists in Rock history. Journey with him was magic.
We all had a crush on Steve Perry 😆💞 !!
Loved his long black hair
& his beautiful voice 💋
@James
Don't know you
@James
Florida
@James
We're would that be ??
@UC599u_XIyZEfC62T00ZGadQ why would they do that
That voice will NEVER go out of style❤ Love you, Steve ❤
Who misses this REAL MUSIC!!??? What an amazing era of music!,...
Amen
I can always feel the hug he gives Sherrie!
Omg yes!!! I’m like insanely jealous of that girl!! I’d switch places in a heartbeat!!
La joven que funge como su novia es Courtney Cox
My God, Steve you gave me goosebumps from that first note. JESUS CHRIST, What a voice!!!
Jesus Christ is Lord and Saviour
why are you telling Jesus? what does He have to do with it??
same!
He's someone that understands how each note should sound. He knows how to make a song the most impactful. So beautiful.
He had a totally magical voice in his prime. It’s late 2022 and I still love this song.
2023 and this song still lives on
What so amazing performance. Incredible sweet voice
kkkk
I Bet He Still Has It It just needs to be exercised it comes from the soul the throat is just the vessel
The moniker THE VOICE wasn’t just given to anyone! Steve’s still in his prime even at 74 and can sing anything and does so to perfection!!🎶🎼🎤
The greatest vocalist of ALL time. May God bless you, Steve, and heal your broken heart.
He loved Kellie SO much :(
Steve Perry's voice transcended stage presence, looks and celebrity. He's probably the best voice of the century.
Steve is in second place, after Freddy Mercury
@@ThomasWilke-j9kSteve Perry and Freddy Mercury are great. But I have to add “super” Mario Lanza!
My daughters were born before I met their mom. Never thought of them as stepdaughters. My oldest said I’m not her step dad , but the dad that stepped up. But this song still gets to me. Went through all of these emotions in this song. I cried both times as I walked Taylor and Torie down the aisle. Love both of you.❤
It’s 2023 and this song is timeless! I loved Steve Perry🎶❤️ BTW I’m 74yrs old! Music makes me happy😊
Yes...
I'm 76 and still loving Journey.
I'm 50..Me too
64 here, have always loved Journey
Love
Sat here listening to Journey for hours today 😎 I’d go back and be young all over again just for the music
I’m 19 and I’m so grateful for your time 👏🏻 music will never be like this again
We all would 🤘
I'm right there with you!
50 soon. This song makes me melt every time I hear it.
awesome music, I remember it well!
Steve's voice is unforgettable 💗 he's definitely an icon in the music industry
Your beautiful face is unforgettable. Very nice, hermosa.
# Eternal...
¡Llámame esta noche, mi hermosa criatura!
Music that endures even time. Nothing like this exists today. I feel bad for the youth. Void of creativity!
They said that about the 80’s generation as well. I recall older people lamenting about the new wave, moog synthesizers, the hair, the predominance of drugs, the guitar solos, they even criticized how video ruined radio and on and on. Its just part of how each generation romances their nostalgia.
There is something so powerful about this song. And the way Steve belts it out with ease is so amazing. A true talent.
While he was in his prime, I wasnt even born yet, But hear I am listening to the legend. This man is incredible all around
Ich bin 10 Jahre jünger als Steve und du hast recht und einen sehr guten Geschmack.👌
I was born but just a little too young for the Frontiers album. I would have loved💜to see Journey in concert then.
I was a very young teen when this came out.
I absolutely love him, his voice! Amazing💞
At Christmas time I was blessed enough to receive a test pressing vinyl album with his autograph on it and numbered, a marble album of the Christmas album, varsity jacket that says SP big on the back and small on the front. So blessed🙏
You have GREAT taste in music! 😁
I love Steve Perry, his voice is singular. He IS Journey, there is no Journey without him, IMO.
Agreed
No Steve Perry, No Journey. They do Steve Perry songs.
Um Journey was around long before Perry. Hell, he was their third Lead vocalist…
@@matte2160 yeah, but Steve ultimately made Journey who they are today, even after all these years.
And the fact that he was still in Journey when he did his solo career like Oh, Sherrie and Foolish Heart
When he passes away I will be sobbing. He has such a timeless voice and I want him to live forever. 😢
I didn't even know he was sick. 😮 wow.
We can just keep in mind what the Bible says... ie. There - is - going to be a resurrection, so, all the wonderful voices we knew will be right back here again someday in the ", new earth" promised, at Revelation 21 :1-5, with no more tears, and if the want to sing their hearts out once again, they no doubt can forever, for their joy, ours, and the Creator of such voices as Steve Perry's. And what we can do now to one day find ourselves there too, is to... "make sure of all things, (&) hold fast to what is fine"! (1Thess.5 :21, the Bible) We sure have a lot to look forward to!
@@jdaze1He isnt
Ahh, the 80s. The best vocals and musicians just needed instruments and their voices. No gimmick needed. No dancers needed.
With all the tec they have today, you don't even have to have a good voice. Pathetic!
Isn't that the truth
@@careyglowe914 He's an Altino Conralto Countertenor like Tevin Campbell.
My wife and I went to a lounge/club in San Francisco and he was a surprise artist the man’s voice is as strong as ever.
If you were a teen back in the day now you can look back and realize just how cool music was!
Fue la mejor música!!💯🎶💓👏
Nothing beats this music. If you were a teen back in the day, you knew you were listening to the best music in the best era of music; the 80's!
Yesssssss
I was and miss the variety of genres. Def a great time to grow up!
I was 21 but you are exactly right. I had the benefit of late 60's, all 70's and the 80's are still my favorite time for music.
a classic and great singer love this song
One of the few great voices of all time.
Awsom
Yvonne
perry,mercury 1A,1B either way
Agreed
Altino Conralto Countertenor. 5 Octaves. 7 Note. The only other One is Tevin Campbell.
I loved this song when it was brand new…and still hits the same, almost 40 years later….🙋🏾♀️💕
Yup! It was on the radio all the time. MTV too.
I can see why SherryBerry! That’s awesome.
Are you in N.C.? The name Cherrie Berrie is in every elevator here in N.C. lol!
@@reddhawt2378 -Nope, Indianapolis, but that’s funny-I did not know about the elevators!🙋🏾♀️
especially when your name is Shari🤗😀🤗
This grandma 👵 is and will always be a steve perry fan
My grandma too 😂😂😂
Grandma?? Pls stop! you makes me feel old! (remember well when it came out; I recorded in VHS a saturday evening in the winter of..1984? (...the famous seems yerstarday)
@josealejandrocambareri5085 your only as old as you feel dear and journey will live on forever as it's music will they will be forever icons
@@teresamay6981 love your words! cheers from buenos aires ;)
Same With My Grandma
Nov 17, 2024. Still a Masterpiece!!
the voice that will never die. a once in a lifetime sound that will never be replicated
This takes me back to a place when life was perfect. Didn’t have a pot to piss in, and was happy with just having fun and dreaming about my future. Now, I’m stressed about how much I will need and how I’m gonna get it. Enjoy your youth, I know I did. 🤣
Well said Positive Vibes Blessings! Life was amazing back then they don’t make music like this anymore ✌️
Yes!!
Amen
Amén ☺️
Simple times for sure, and what times they were😉 a warm hello from new Zealand
My favorite video of all time! Even my Mom used to come running into the room watch it! The days you had MTV on all day long!!! Miss it!
One of the GREATEST vocalists ever❤❤❤❤
Steve Perry. I knew he was great in 78/79. Just appreciate his voice so much more today. Such a rare voice and the band just so cool. Total legends. Faithfully is truly a top 5 song of all time!
Steve Perry’s voice oh amazing with his raspiness I love all his ballads especially Foolish Heart and oh Sherry faithfully and open arms. One of the greatest artists of all times.❤
That first line “ You shoulda been gone!!!”...Steve Perry’s voice pierces right through you! Amazing singer..The best 80s Rock Vocalist hands down!! Miss these times.
Agree. I miss journey
We had three decades of the best music ever 60s 70s 80s I am 65 now still listening
David coverdale would disagree
Lou Gramm too.
Goosebumps!!
His voice transcends beauty and perfection. Truly an inspiration and phenomenon
Thanks for that interview with Dan it really answered alot of questions for alot of people. My generation will always remember you and always love that music.
Steve Perry one of a kind voice. This brings back so many good memories of a simpler time
Definitely. I missed the eighties
You are so right. It was a time with more simplicity. Lovely song. Steve Perry's voice is so beautiful, and like no other. This song is a treasure. ❤️✨🌟
Me too.
Perhaps the most underrated song of all time.
Exactly 💯
Man... that voice! Blessed to have grown up with this gem!
agreed!
The Voice.. absolutely love this song and Steve Perry.. his voice is just amazing.. there will never be another voice like this.. his talent is unique..
Perfect singer with perfect vocals and pitch then and now!! No one can touch him vocally ever!! Once you’ve heard the best there’s no substitute!!!❤️🎤🎼🎶
Hugh Facts!
One of the all time greats. Still in love with his voice and his smile. ❤
The greatest voice ever that’s why he bares the moniker THE VOICE!
The planets must have aligned magically for a decade to produced the finest music we will ever know. Thank God Journey, Steve and the 80's were a very sweet part of our lives... always those "memories remain".
Louis Ramos forsure
I just got chills and goosebumps really listening to the words and watching his face as he sang his heart out. Nobody else will ever be able to compete with Steve Perry's voice.
One of the greatest voices in the history of music.
Steve Perry, Tevin Campbell, Altinos RULE!!!
Creo lo mejor mismo
Him and David Bowie.
Agree with you
Lou Gramm as well
Steve Perry has the most powerful voice in music and no body can touch that ! I sure love that man ❤
Idk, Michael Bolton has quite the vocal cords on him. I love Steve but Michael gives him a run for his money.
John Farnham could. Tom Jones could and Freddie Mercury could. POWERHOUSE singers, Not may have it.
Burton Cummings and Mickey Thomas up there too
I used to play this song for my deceased wife! She was my world of over 35 yrs., still miss her,but I know she's in great hands! Love ya babe!
aw...thats sweet
I’m sorry for your loss!
JAN Dont worry I know she's holding on waiting for you
Jan ZmAn Amen
❤️
Everytime I watch this, I think, I bet he could have been a wonderful actor too! One of my favorite SP videos :)
Steve's voice in forty years has never in my opion been bettered. Its the one voice i can listen to over and over.
One of most powerful and beautiful voices EVER!
Comparable to MJ.
この時代の最高のボーカリストです。（the best vocalist of this era)
Steve Perry makes singing look effortless. I saw him backstage in San Francisco in 1980 and he was ( is) AWESOME
Nice profile pic, I used to drive through it every day
I’m amazed of how incredible Steve Perry’s voice is. His voice is just insane. Every song he sings is just , “wow.”
