Steve Perry is one of the all time greatest male vocalists in any genre. When he comes on, you KNOW it's Steve Perry 🤩
Steve came on you? Awesome!
@@jdcapps21 He means, when he comes on the radio, or starts singing ...choose one.
He sure is!!!
I'd say hes the white Sam Cooke
This song is about his real-life girlfriend at the time, Sherrie Swafford, who also appeared in the video.
Great reaction guys! Please check out "Foolish Heart" on this same solo album by Steve Perry. It was a big hit also. Appreciate y'all.
Yes! I was just about to look up reactions to that
Foolish Heart is a great heart felt song
Missing you
Nah she ain't ready for Foolish Heart. She always been in love with the voice and hearing that one might put her and BJ in some trouble 😂
Foolish Heart is a must listen.
It's amazing how a day can make you feel so low, but the right song with the right vocalist can just pick you up. Thank you for playing this song -
Karen Carpenter!
Steve Perry was so talented but the tragic life. I just can’t believe he just walked away. One of the catalysts was breaking up with Sherrie, then his mom passing and fracturing his hip, requiring hip replacement that he delayed for a long time. He said he went home and didn’t even listen to TV, radio or any music, for seven years. Later to finally fall in love again, only to lose Kellie to reoccurring cancer in a year. Now, not singing for so long, he doesn’t quite have the same range. He’s very self conscious. He has mentioned an abusive childhood, not by parents but abused. Back then there was “no one to talk it out to, so he sang it out.” The last hit he had with Journey was an incredible love song called When You Love a Woman. Nominated for a Grammy. They wanted Journey to perform it on the live award show but he refused. It should have won. Prayers to him. I hope he’s found some peace and happiness now, in later years. Out of pain, that incredible voice. ❤️
I'm glad he' has finally found his way back to music.
I thought When You Love A Woman did in fact win the Grammy!
Peoples' voices can change throughout the years. It gets hard to high notes later on.
One of best vocalists ever.
I believe Steve actually gave the royalty rights for this song to Sherry after they broke up to show there was no acrimony and as a nice little way for her to earn money from the song as she got older.
He says she might be able to buy a cup of coffee with it. LOL
Aww :)
"Foolish Heart" From Steve Perry, is a must listen.
So glad you did the song - but sad that you didn't do the official video. It's hilarious - and really tells the story of the song. Sherrie is actually featured in it - she was Steve's girlfriend. But his voice is just vocal perfection anyways. Cheers from Canada! ETA - his other amazing solo hit is Foolish Heart - a MUST listen.
Steve Perry has such a great and unique voice
“Street Talk”. Was a bench mark, for Steve’s solo career. His second solo album, “For The Love Of Strange Medicine”. Was a more mature sounding album. Musically, lyrical. His vocals, on that album. I, think are some of his best vocals yet. I was lucky enough to go to one his FTLOSM, concerts. It was basically a Journey concert with his solo stuff included. The best 2hrs. standing in the rain, I’ve ever done.
Her name is Sherry Swafford and she was Steve's girlfriend at the time. The songs Faithfully and Separate Ways were also written about her.
Nope. Jon Cain wrote Faithfully by himself. It was about his wife at the time Tane. Separate Ways was about several people in the band and crew, including Neal Schon and Ross Valory going thru nasty divorces. Steve and Jon wished there was a kinder way to seperate without trying to destroy each other.
At least have a clue before making stupid statements 😂
@@carolnewsome554Thank you for correcting this post.
@@karenlovejoy8141Thanks for letting them know the truth.
Steve Perry is just amazing, no matter what he’s singing. If you get a chance you should watch the video for this one, its too funny.
Steve did his own background vocals on this song
This man is anointed! God said the day he was born “son you shall sing and bring tears, joy and togetherness” He also made him an exceptional human being. He is humble, great full and loved! I have listened to and have loved this man for more than 42 years. I am glad I had the opportunity to tell him how much he has meant to me all these years at a private event back in 2019😊
Steve Perry could sing the phone book to a number 1 hit.
The Magic of Steve Perry
The video rocks and Sherry is in it!! Saw them everytime they came to Charlotte North Carolina and you're right Asia you can never get enough. They don't call him the voice for nothing
Steve Perry has so much soul in his voice .He can do rock,soul, and ballads. I agree with BJ,Steve sings effortless and what a singer. I've seen him in concert with Journey back in 86 (along with Randy JAckson from American Idol) What show,what a performer.Song is infectious. Sing it Asia,sing it.
My son loved a movie called “quest for Camelot “ , Steve Perry sang one of the songs and it was awesome
Steve Perry’s voice has it all: the sweetness, the gravel, the operatic quality, and the range. There will never be another quite like him. Unless we are talking about Ann Wilson, but she’s a lady.
You can tell Asia is liking the lyrics and BJ is digging the music.
Official video is really awesome for this one!
I love this! I like to say that Steve is singing to me, (Shari) personally...of course I was young at the time!! Still love the song!
One of the BEST songs of the 80s and EVAH!
Steve Perry is the best! But, BJ you have to play Steve Perry`s "Foolish Heart" for Asia! A perfect beautiful song. If you thought "Oh Sherrie" was good...wait until Asia hears "Foolish Heart"!! It goes straight to your playlist collection...and even BJ will be trying to sing it! :)
Steve Perry did a solo album. This song was one of several great songs on that album.
Love this song!!!! His voice is soooo good👍
This was the jam! His voice is beyond amazing.
More Steve. Heck yea. One of my favorite leads of all time. Thank you. Awesome
The full version of "you better wait" by Steve Perry is definitely worth a listen.
Another great reaction by you two!!! BJ, you're right, Steve Perry has a voice that doesn't come around very often, if ever. Top 5 rock voices of all time, in my book.
I'm gonna say something that nobody's ever said before; I remember when this song was new, like it was just yesterday. Where, oh where did those decades go? 💕❤
Please find them!!!
Strung out, captured by the moment, missing you and you better wait are great solos by him. Always love it when you do Journey and Steve Perry. Great reaction
I would love to see Asia for some covers. Her voice is amazing.
Agreed!!!
Steve Perry has an UNMISTAKABLE voice one of the greatest...
This brings back so many memories from the 80's!! Thank you for the reaction ❤
Steve got pipes 🔥
"La Do Da" and "Patiently" together. There is still more SP Goodness to come.
It really doesn’t matter what Steve Perry does Im with Asia, I can’t get enough of his voice! God was kind to him and gave him true talent! Never get tired!!!
You should do oh sherry again but with the video you won't believe how good he is live
She's in the video, Check out the video Strung Out...
The opening music to this song was composed by the same musicians who had composed a huge hit a few years prior with Kim Carnes' 'Betty Davis Eyes'. Perry's girlfriend, Sherrie was in the same room for inspiration when the song was written by Perry and the other writers. Although Journey did not support Perry's ambition recording a solo album, it was released in the Spring of '84 and did very well while he was already on top with Journey.
I was lucky enough to see journey twice back in the day and I can tell you they sounded unbelievably great, not only Steve Perry but the whole band vocally and musically were great. I would give Steve Perry the best vocals in pop rock genre, I'd have to say the best rock voice could be Paul Rodgers, the best hard rock voice would probably be Ronnie James Dio , and the best by far Rock Soul vocal hands down has to be Steve Marriott of humble pie and the small faces. His voice will blow you away.
Opinions vary, so many strong cool voices in music that can sang. But you also have to take consideration on how many known songs each has that has lasted through the times. Dio, Rogers do have that in conversation realm. But man let's give props to many singers that sang , that their music keep us coming back to them through the decades of time.
Steve Perry is one of the best singers ever!!!
BJ. You said what Quincy said, Steve sounds like his videos even when he sings live, the man can flat out Sing and he loves to do it.
Do JOURNEY "Mother Father" live in Houston 1981. Steve really shows off his vocals in that performance
Too bad you didn't do the video for this, but it's a fantastic song! Two other hit songs from this album that you should check out: "Foolish Heart" (Such a great song - See the video) and "Strung Out."
Gotta do "Lights" by Journey. It's his song and a vocal masterpiece. Also, "Anytime / Feeling that Way" is a favorite.
His voice is awesome! To get a full LIVE voice sampling, you've got to check out "Mother, Father" from Journey on the Escape Tour in 1981... it will blow you away!
I love when a new generation loves the songs I heard as new releases growing up!! Good music never gets old, it helps us feel younger. Sherrie was one of his girlfriends.
Steve's Girlfriend at the time, Sherrie Swafford, for whom he wrote this song, passed away in 2004. She never married after her break-up with Steve, which was reportedly due to their arguments over his constant absence while touring & performing; and for the rest of her life, she had no other serious romantic relationships, although they still occasionally kept in touch. So we can only guess that Steve was probably the love of her life.
Foolish heart is also from the same solo album that oh Sherrie was on
I've said it before and I'm a follower of both of you, you two are a nice pleasure to watch and listen to. I love when you react to the "Rock" era because that's what I grew up on in the 70's and 80's BUT i love whatever Genre you watch. It's great stuff and such a pleasure for so many people. Keep up the good work (and BJ, you need a Tiger hat (Detroit)... :) Thank you.
The girl is actually Steve's girl friend Sherrie Swafford at the time. Sherrie and Steve had a 6 year relationship. He convinced her to do the video and considers this to be her song. To this day and despite their break up, Sherrie receives the royalties to Oh Sherrie.
Oh, I don’t know if you’ve heard this… but Perry has said that Sam Cooke was his idol growing up, and you can hear a lot of Sam in Steve.
You all will love the song Missing You from his second album!!
Mother Father live in Houston. A must!!!!
He has the "Goosebumps"voice! Every time you were down,you could blast some Journey,and it was all ok.
Steve Perry is one of the most underrated vocalists of all time! ♥️
Underrated? Nobody thinks Steve Perry is underrated. He generally is regarded as one of the great voices in rock history.
Underrated ? Hardly , he is the gold standard that everyone else has to strive for.
WTF lol
@@danieldistrola2873 You’re delusional! Everyone appreciates his awesomeness!!
@Karen Lovejoy Reread my comment. What are you talking about?
Hey , Asia and B. J. I love you. Thanks for your reaction to this song. One of my all time favorite songs.
Steve Perry, the legendary lead singer of Journey...
He can definitely sang!
Oh Yes!!! Let's gooooo!!!!!!!❤🔥❤🔥❤🔥
Great reaction video Asia & BJ. All of Steve Perry/Journey songs are catchy, addicting & ageless!! Oh Sherrie was released in 1984 (Street Talk album) and here we are in 2022, almost 40 yrs. later, still listening to this timeless masterpiece. Even though 'Oh Sherrie' may have an 80's vibe to it, this song will never age. If you get a chance, check out the actual music video. Also, have a listen to "Foolish Heart" from the same 'Street Talk' album. Another great song is "I Stand Alone" from the 1998 Quest For Camelot movie (OST). Steve Perry also has a lot of great songs in his second (For the Love of Strange Medicine) 1994 album as well. Take care & Perry on!! 🎤🎹🎸🥁🎵🎶
New here and lovin’ it. Steve Perry….classy classic. Amazing natural instrument.
You should listen to Sweet and Simple. The notes he hits is mind blowing.
Steve Perry has the best voice ever!!! Watching you both gettin into this beautiful song plus Asia’s smile is as beautiful.
Girl! The best part of you guys video's are, éverytime Steve Perry starts to sing you seem to 😅🤣😂🤣"Cream your knickers" 😆
You guys crack me up. Like u i came late to the Steve Perry fan club. Namely bc of YTube, i watched the live concert from Houston and it blew my head off. That was a fluffing great show! And u know what duri g that time 80-81 i think I purposely avoided them. It had to do w/the instrumentation i think (what u said!) Like those 80s sounding keyboards
...idk. But anyway ive been bingeing ur videos and yeah we share alot of similar observations 40 yrs after this music was made. 40 yrs hard to believe. I watched Steve do the live Open Arms and i was literally transported to another level. Omg i was teary. Next was Wheel in the Sky and i cant put my finger on it but the quality of ThaT voice moves me everytime.So from corny to sublime.
Mmmmmmyeah Keep on keeping on as they used to say in the 80s. ❤ transported to
BTW Sherrie is Sherrie Swafford. There is a story I heard on the video for Seperate Ways that said when they filmed it in NOLA she had an epic meltdown bc she of the model they chose to literally walk thru it. I think Neal Schon said that SP said to him " I guess I'm gonna have to write a really good song for her." That was O Sherrie and yes she is in the video.
Once more. Forgot to include the reason for meltdown : raging jealousy
yasssss … Steve Perry !! love love that man. He can sing me the whole dictionary & I won’t care LOL Thanks ASIA & BJ
He is known as the voice ! seen him many times even better live
Sherrie Swafford is who this song is about. She was Steve's Girlfriend at the time. She left him not long after the song was released. From all I have been able to find out she was born in 1953. She died in 2004 of Cancer. Neither of them ever married. They remained friends until her death.
Sherrie is still here.
Folks you NEED to goggle search BEFORE you post. That wasn't Sherrie.
@@joanmayfield4791 Sherri's hot! They shoulda reacted to the music video!
Someone is a little mixed up. 🤪
Implied it wasn't Sherrie who died. And even then has the date wrong.
hope you see this! you need to hear Steve Perry's song "No Erasin'" He is now in his 70's and still sounds great!!!
Steve Perry
Strung Out
Foolish Heart
Steve Perry is one of the best vocalists ever! You should check out when he was in band Journey....video on TH-cam live from Texas, the song Don't Stop Believing". Back then there was no such thing as autotune....all vocals were pure live!
Foreigner,s lead singer also has a solo album....Lou Gramm, song is Midnight Blue.
Great song for sure. Great reaction. Glad to see you enjoyed it.
Glad you enjoyed it
Love Steve voice in this song so much emotion almost sounds like he's crying just amazing 🎤🎵🎶💞💞💞
My favorite song from that album is "Strung Out." No, it's not a downer song like the title might imply.
Mother, Father live from Houston 81 a must!!!!!!!!!!
On the same album Steve Perry has a song that's great song it called Captured by the moment you will love it
I feel you, been listening to this for 40 yrs, I'm in my 60's, never get tired of Steve Perry, listen to him every day
Seeing how much Asia love Steve Perry and Bon Jovi in other vids makes my heart smile. As you know Perry’s biggest influence was an R&B singer from the 50s - Sam Cooke. If you hunt deep enough there’s a duet with Steve Perry and Jon Bon Jovi singing a duet cover of Sam Cooke’s “Bring it on Home To Me”. It’s a gem
His song "You Better Wait" is a really good one too. This one and Foolish Heart are classics.
the official video is a blast too
Man was born to sing a love song.....I got to see Journey live at Boston Garden in 1985 .....I was 14 and my first concert
Usted es un privilegiado de verlo en vivo y en directo a esta leyenda viviente
love love love this tune !!
*My first Journey album was titled NEXT, from 1977....and Steve Perry was not yet in the band. Steve was on the very next Journey album...Infinity (1978). And wow, did he ever change the future for the band.* Please react to a Journey song titled; Mother, Father - Live Houston 1981.
Y'all need to check out "Foolish Heart," "You Better Wait," "Missing You," "Somewhere There's Hope," and "In the Rain." Sherrie Swaford was a model and Steve's then girlfriend. Their relationship was rather toxic. She didn't like him touring and that created a lot of tension. At one point during the Frontiers tour, she and Steve had their own RV they traveled in, while the rest of the band either flew or were in their own bus. At the end of each show, instead of meeting the fans, Steve and Sherrie would take off, leaving the band to do all the meet-and-greets. It was the start of the rift that would eventually cause Steve to leave in 1987, and would help Neal and Jonathan decide to move on without Steve 1998, after Steve refused to get surgery for a broken hip.
Steve Perry "Strung Out" and "You better wait" are great ones to check out.
Still she cries is a beautiful song. Steve Perry and amazing voice
You should check out his songs no erasin and no more tears if you do you can tell he still has that voice
Great high school memories! The 80’s music is the best all time in my book!
I heard that this song was a big reason for Journey and Steve Perry going their separate ways. No pun intended with that great song. But when Perry wanted to do a solo album and Journey agreed with him doing his side project. They assumed he wanted get his artistic side out (in other words, songs he wanted to do that wouldn't fit into the Journey band structure). But when they heard 'Oh Sherry' they were pissed. Because in their minds he just held back a song from Journey and released it for his own album and it was a song the he and them both knew fit perfectly into the Journey band structure.
Love your reaction videos! Asia you have one of the prettiest smiles I have ever seen. Keep up the great work guys.
One of my favorites from Steve! 😊
Steve's first solo Street Talk is truly a great album! Every song is very special in their own way!
Foolish Heart is another great song. However, some of the other songs that should be reaction to are ...... 'Captured By The Moment' (GREAT song about those we lost through out the early years) Ex....'Where did he go, the man who said I had a dream, where have they gone, the ones who sang to let it be) It's my all time favorite song!! She's Mine, Strung Out!!!! Running Alone!
Well heck! Just react to the whole album!!...lol...
Oh Sherrie was indeed Steve's girlfriend back then. You guys should have reacted to the video, that she's in. They were together for many years. And sadly in and around the year 1986, just wasn't a good time for Steve. He and Sherrie broke up, and he lost his mother to a long illness! Not only that, Steve was starting to get burn out from a long touring schedule. And in 1986, was indeed a long tour!! From there, he took time to get to know himself again. A much needed break!
Great song by Steve Perry.
Foolish heart is my favorite. So smooth
