On this episode of The It's Only Rock And Roll Podcast, we feature a wide-ranging, cathartic interview with LOU GRAMM, the former lead singer and principal co-songwriter for 2024 Rock & Roll Hall of Fame nominees Foreigner. Topics covered include his early life growing up in Rochester, a parent-defying trek to a 1965 Rolling Stones concert, the lean years with his first band Black Sheep (including losing the supporting slot for the '75 Kiss tour), shooting pool with John Lennon, and an often-tumultuous relationship between himself and founding member of Foreigner, Mick Jones. He additionally gives an honest assessment of Foreigner's new singer, as well as life after surviving brain surgery.

I enjoyed this interview so much. I’ve never known some of the struggles you went through, had to face, over the years. And crazy because I’m 68 and have been listening to your music for over 40 years now, but I’ve had some heavy duty struggles myself and only relied on your voice and songs to get me through without knowing the backdrop of what was going on. Thank you for being the amazing man you are and telling your story. I pray God continues to bless you with good health and joy!! Love you Lou Gramm!! ❤️❤️❤️
God Bless You,Lou Gramm. What an amazing singer you are as well as an inspiration!Awesome interview!!!
Without a doubt, one of the greatest singers of all time in any genre. Also, a good and humble human being. He got screwed by Mick Jones, but still remained fair and not vengeful. I'm not a fan of the HRHOF, I feel their political and show favoritism, however, if anyone deserves to be inducted for their contribution to music, it's Lou Gramm.
Well-said indeed!
Exatamente! penso o mesmo que você, Lou Gramm merece estar lá, com ou sem Foreigner.
When I heard how Lou and Mick decided to split the copyright and publishing I just shook my head,that was insane,that was just pure letting the fox in the hen house and sooner or later
There aren’t any chickens left.
You get lawyers for that stuff there’s no way Lou should have given Mick
The entire song
“I want to know what love is”
Just incredible
I agree. And some in there? Nothing against anyone, but they are not R&R... They should change the name.
It's sad that he didn't realize that Lou's voice MADE Foreigner. Lou is too nice...how sad. Kelly wishes he could sing like Lou! God bless Lou! I'm so happy he is still with us.
It's about time! RRHOF isn't what it used to be.. I got my a$$ beat as a teen too...but as a girl, I cried 😂😂😂! Except for the last time for...guess why... sneaking out😂😂😂 and not a whimper. But it was mom who was the disciplinarian...and it was a switch, not a belt. (I grew up in the country).That's like getting a beating with a bull whip! Almost same deal, door wasn't locked, but a very different outcome! 😂😂😂😂😂 I knew I was done for...I can laugh now! 😂😂😂
I'm so glad Lou is doing well & that he belongs to Christ. Mick Jones must be a very selfish man. I've never seen him interviewed but I think he did Lou dirty.
That seems to be the consensus. Thanks for listening and i hope you SUBSCRIBE!
@@ItsOnlyRockAndRollPODCAST Just did.
The voice of my lifetime - age 10 to now, 57. He has always been my favorite. And, I love even more that he is humble and has a giving heart.
My all-time favorite rock singer since age 13 now 58.
My favorite vocalist of all time...I'm 56 and I finally get to meet Lou next month!
I became RABID fan as a result of seeing Foreigner at Cal Jam ll on 3/18/78. Great interview. How do I get in touch with him??
Really great podcast! What a great person Lou is!! I wonder if there will be some material of Black Sheep available on platforms like Spotify?
There would be no Foreigners without Lou Grammatico. I was never a Foreigner's fan because I was into some other genres of music. But, when one of their songs was playing on the radio, I was always listening because of Lou's powerful and unique voice. It's formidable that he survived his surgery. 🤩
Only Lou Gramm and his Band Foreinger ❤ is The Best in the World ❤❤
He was the sound of foreigner. He should have teamed up with Ritchie Blackmore who based his commercial era of Rainbow on Foreigners sound.
Not a bad crazy idea but Richie's got his reputation too 🤔👍🏻👍🏻
Lou you are the greatest singer ever God Bless you and your family Aloha from Maui Hawaii
Tony Nardella
Lou could BRING IT!!! He's one of my R-n-R heroes. Thanks to both you and him for the interview!
❤️Lou Gramm is the only reason Foreigner made it like they did!!
STOP saying “ex-singer of FOREINER….
Lou is the one and only guy we women want to watch sing!
He’s Hot, He is sooo sexy and the songs he sings so real❤️and passionate! His Voice and at the end of some songs he sings high , like “waiting for a girl like you” with your eyes closed “waiting yeah”, but a real love in Lou’s life at that time seemed painful. Which you show,
Kelly Hanson is scary scary looking and tries to hurt my friend Lou by coming on stage interrupting you (people boooooed him), haha
Lou made FOREINER
It’s not FOREINER without him.
Kelly Hansen pick a different name for your yucky band!!!
I LOVE u Lou- Kerry from Kauai where I live., Come where it’s low key, beautiful, tropical, and sing solo
Still hoping Lou might consider teaching voice. What we singers could learn from him would be beyond immeasurable.
I love you Lou..😊❤🎉
Lou you are truly inspirational in every sense of the word. I love your classic music and look forward to getting to know your newer works. God has truly blessed you. Thanks for sharing your talents and amazing stories. 💕
Lou Gramm la mejor música que he escuchado en mi larga vida!! Eres el mejor, el original ❤❤❤
Lou you’re the best !!❤❤❤. Too bad you couldn’t have taken some of your band mates to join foreigner with you !!! Everything happens for a reason!!
Lou is Foreigner. Hall of Fame songwriter. Lou is so committed to working with folks. He many times has not been treated right but he gives it his best.
Lou your the one. Foreigner would have never been as successful without you.
You were amazing on stage. How you held the Mik. The enthusiasm of you singing . No one can do it better that’s why you will always be my favorite
Legend
Lou you are Foreigner. You’re the best. Today’s Foreigner is a tribute band let’s just say it !!!!
Your gear gets totaled and your opening for KISS and the label drops you WTF
Mick saw Lou comin'....what a bastard. Lou has a heart of GOLD...Mick will rot...🔥
This is what an interview should be. Two guys just talking and sharing the best of stories….Lou really opens here….
