    I have just recently started to listen to Journey and Steve Perry’s solo albums after hearing my dad play some of their songs every now and then. My gosh they are incredible! I love love LOVE Perry's voice so much.. I just watched a TH-cam video of It’s Over and his voice is absolutely beautiful in it. Even from a teen in the 21st century, Steve Perry is my favorite artist . . . even including his newest album (he still has it!) Thank you for this video, so cool to be listening and seeing someone who has worked with The Voice himself.

      He had just turned 26 I was 25 we had such a good time together. Since I wrote the song I may be bias but I think Steve's vocal on It's Over may be his best recorded performance.

      Iva, it's so funny that you say that about leaving with Steve if he ever came to you. I've had two husbands who have had to agree to this, also. I've been in love with Steve since I was 17 years old in 1978. I was able to meet him in 1983 and he was so sweet and I wanted to marry him. Well, that didn't work out. My husband says to his golfing buddies that if the 3 of us (hubby, Steve and I) were in a room, that I would totally forget about him and do naughty things to Steve right in front of his face. Hate to say it, he's right. Have a great evening!

    Absolutely incredible talent. It truly blows me away that one person can hold this level of vocal mastery. My parents- born in ‘73 and ‘74-grew up with Journey/Steve Perry (according to my mom, my grandpa would listen to Oh Sherrie all the time and would play along with his guitar). Luckily for me, as a result of their love for the music of their youth, I was also “Raised on ‘80s,” despite being born in 1998. I listened to Journey/Steve passively throughout my childhood and I knew a lot of their music, but I didn’t really *know* them. How I ended up falling in love with Journey’s sound is a long, but funny story that I won’t tell here-but Steve Perry’s voice IMMEDIATELY held me captive. I love to sing with all of my heart, so the inhuman vocal gymnastics he was able to perform while maintaining an incredible, rich sound (while running around the stage, no less) has me enraptured any time I listen to any of his music (which is often!). I am gobsmacked over and over at the ease with which he sings-especially when I listen to one of his pretty much flawless live performance. Whenever I blast S.P.’s music in my car and really engulf myself in his sound, I get the chills. I don’t think any of us will see another vocalist that is gifted with the same level of raw, unadulterated talent as Steve Perry in our lifetime. I wasn’t alive yet to see him perform in person, so I am grateful for the advent of the internet age, which has made watching and listening to the recordings taken at Journey/S.P. performances way back when-before I was even a thought-as simple as tapping my phone’s touch screen. I look forward to listening to whatever Steve puts out in the future! As my fellow millennial/Gen-Z-ers would say: I will “Stan” Steve Perry and his talent ‘till the end :)
    Thank you for sharing these awesome stories!! Your storytelling took me back to a time I never experienced myself. What a special time to be alive. Much simpler. A lot more heart :)

      For years I've tried to use words to describe his talent but how do you describe vocals that are, An Inch from Impossible?
      If you haven't, Google Steve's very early, sit in doing the blues! This guy can do it all! We're blessed it's all still available so your generation can marvel too!

    I was 19 years old. No words, only feeling can describe that love and extreme joy I felt as the sound of Steve's voice and his rocker group's guitars were coming out of those speakers into the air all around for miles! ❤️ You never forget it!
    And what girl didn't seriously think she might have a chance of Steve loving her if she could meet him face to face on that stage! 🤗☺️ ( I knew I was close enough in age that he "might" choose me. )☺️🌹

      Paula, I am so glad you love it. Imagine being in a chair 4 feet from Steve listening to take after take. I am glad he is such a perfectionist. We settled on 26th take or there about. I am extremely proud of this song and having worked with some of the greatest entertainers of all time.

      Lizanne thank you for your kind words. Steve had just turned 26 I was 25 we had such a good time together. Since I wrote the song I may be bias but I think Steve's vocal on It's Over may be his best recorded performance. Tony Carey complements Steves improv on the piano and made a hook from it. Like many peoples greatest moments we were in the right place at the right time. Thanks for your kind words. Forrest ~

    Great video. Steve perry has been my favorite singer since the second I heard him on the infinity album. But I wasn’t exactly sure that he could pull it off live and then our band went down to Salt Lake when they were playing down there. I think it was in 79 for the evolution Album he was backstage he was strumming a bass sitting on a stool with a cuppa tea teabag hanging out of the cup. I just stood there listening to him in disbelief. I could not believe what I was hearing. He introduced himself we all knew who he was. He was super cool. We talked for a few minutes. He strummed some notes, sang warming up for the show. we left and I was so blown away. I still listen to him every day. I truly believe he’s one in a lifetime.

      Razor, I had the same reaction when he invited me to his moms house to Jam in late 1975. He was playing drums and singing and I was playing guitar. We played a bunch of covers then I played 12 of my songs. As I was hearing him sing each song I was saying to myself. Man this guys is good, he is really good, wow this guy is great. The other day one of his fans wrote and said my song It's Over that Steve sang 27 takes on is her favorite song. I am glad you got to experience his great range and personality in person.

My own-he touched my soul from his. Even back in ‘81 at the Escape Tour concert, I held back tears at the sound of his voice. Listening to Traces tonight, I feel the same way. Technical voice teaches love to dissect it and put it into a category. I know better. It’s a window to another mystical world that he lets us into.

My favorite album (with Journey) is Infinity but closely followed by Evolution and Departure. My favorite solo album by him would have to be Street Talk. Just classic Steve. I never had the privilege to see a live show or meet him in person. Sure would have been awesome. I had a terrible childhood and softly listening to the radio late at night was something that “took me away” and the first time I heard his voice come on was something different to me. I’m sure it was Wheel In The Sky and from then on I couldn’t wait to hear him again. I don’t know what it was. I think (for me anyway) he sounded like he was hurt too but it sure helped me. It would be wonderful if he could be acknowledged for his singing and songwriting with such a prestigious honor. He is unique. Thank you.

      What is your favorite song that Steve sings? What is your favorite Album? Did you ever see the band live if so what concerts and which one was the best? Finally, did you ever meet Steve? If you did, can you describe the experience and how it came about? I am collecting stories from Steve’s fans to help us all come together in a music moments video of fan stories. Thank you for your participation. We would like to get Steve recognized by the Kennedy Center Honors and if we all pull together, we can do this. Don’t Stop Believing. Thank you. ~ Forrest

Unfortunately, I never got the chance to see the band live and I never had the privilege to have met him. That would have been a wonderful opportunity!

      @@ForrestMcD Right now, I have Journey's Greatest Hits. When I was young, I had Escape. I loved Don't Stop Believing and Who's Crying Now as a kid, and still do. They just don't get old for me. But it's like all the songs I like with Steve Perry as front man, are my favorite. It's just a great rock-n-soul sound. Lights, Separate Ways, Faithfully, Any Way You Want It,....etc, they're all awesome.
      Unfortunately, I have never been to a concert of his/Journey's. I don't do well with crowds, bad nerves ¯\_(ツ)_/¯. I've never met him either.
      He has "it", simply classic, unique, and timeless.
