Hence, "The Voice" Steve Perry is a once in a generation or maybe a lifetime singer. His emotion, power, delivery & range are unmatched in his prime.❤️
I'm 74 years old and discovered Steve Perry yesterday. My children are in their 50's so they probably remember him. I was too busy working and cleaning and doing the endless laundry. His voice is very good. How did I miss it before?
Who’s here in 2024😭 we need more people like Steve music will never be the same. I’m 22 and I wish I could time travel to this time and experience it. I hope to meet Steve one day before it is too late ☹️
It makes my heart feel so full to see a whole new generation discovering the music of Steve Perry. He was so right in the interview when he said he looked at this new gen running around enjoying being young and full of promise. Yet they are looking for most of the same things we did. Love and acceptance and friends that were closer than family. I'm 69 years old and Steve and Journey gave a voice to my generation. Thank you so very much.
There's no other singer who can compare to this beautiful man & his sweet, soulful voice. I can sit back & close my eyes & just listen and let him take me back to all those wonderful concerts in the 80s. Great memories!
EXACTLY 💯 If I were to hit the notes this man can do I wouldn't be able to speak anymore and he can just BELLOW his beautiful voice so casually it's unreal
Romans 1:21 “Because that, when they knew God, they glorified him not as God, neither were thankful; but became vain in their imaginations, and their foolish heart was darkened.” King James Version
Geesus, I mean just...WOW. Steve Perry. Amazing person. Decided the "Rockstar life" wasn't for him and left Journey because he only cared about the music. Not the girls, not the drugs, not the money, just the music. Unbelievable respect for him and this effort by his vocal range is just, TIMELESS.
I don't know for sure. He seemed to struggle with the desire to sing. Did all the " stuff " get in the way? How h a rd to have a normal loving relationship and not have it all fall apart. The theme of so many of his songs is love, heart break and loss. He started to get caught up with the scene and had to escape. Did he get lost in the stuff? His mom passing. The band fighting. He knows. We just wonder.
I broke my back in a car accident when I was 15 in 1981, just a few days before 1982. I spent New Years Eve in the hospital. 11 days in there and then 1 1/2 month at home in bed. It was agonizing to say the least. What helped me get through it was listening to Journey A LOT!!! 2 years later in 1983 the summer after I graduated HS I got to see them in concert and it was AWESOME!!!! Will always & forever be a Steve Perry & Journey fan!!!! 😄❤✌️
It makes me teary just listening to this song, because I haven't heard it in a while and I remember singing along with it. It brings back so many lovely memories.
While I adore Steve Perry, and his knicker removing voice, there is a lot to be said for Arnel. I think Arnel really honors Perry, he's not trying to replace him, and he can't. But, he's one of Journey's biggest fans and feels greatly blessed to be able to sing for one of the greatest American groups in history. ^_^
This is one of those timeless songs. It's so raw and embodies all of those feelings of angst and vulnerability that comes with falling for someone...maybe the wrong someone. It's a perfect song paired with one of the most talented emotive singers of our time.
It's crazy ... I heard this song playing in Taco Bell the other day, and I was instantly transported back to a time where all the worries of my life were completely gone for a brief moment, and all the memories of my dearly departed dad flashed before me, since he was the one who first introduced me to this wonderful song when I was a kid, the day I walked into his makeshift art studio at our house and he was listening to this while he was painting! It seems anytime I hear this song playing, there's just this sudden feeling of peace & tranquility that comes over me, and all the negativity in this world goes right out the window ... at least until the song is over! 😩 THANK YOU Steve Perry! 👏 There will never be another voice like yours! Often imitated, but never duplicated....
My 1.5 years old son loves this song so much that i played it everyday and he received message from youtube that he is the 0.01% of the top listeners. I sent this to Steve perry and steve perry replied to my son!
Lorenzo, I am with you and agree with you here 100%! I am too a black man straight from the hood and even to this very day, Steve Perry still has the pipes to blow away people like me with timeless classics such as this.
Hello, 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.
The difference with Steve's vocals and other vocalists is not just the fact that he executes it so well while going sky high, it's the fact that his tone has such a fantastic melodic quality that the music needs his voice more than he needs the music.🙏😍🌹
@Steve Perry 💕 Speaking the truth is easy, because you don't have to make up anything. Are you the, Steve Perry or another namesake?😊 If you are, i want to remind you that you are a very special gift to life that I personally is eternally grateful for, my introduction to you was the song....When you love a woman...That song really blew my mind and many, many years after I saw the video and this time both the song and your eyes did it again, so many times, I barely have any left.💥 Yes you are special, indeed.🙏🌹🏆
@@jenniferdixon7633 John Farnham who is known as the voice down under. He isn’t world famous cause he chose not to tour outside of Australia for family reasons. Look him up on TH-cam for example him singing the Beatles song “help” live with the Melbourne symphony orchestra
Mark Maratea they’re both great but Steve Perry’s voice is unbelievably gorgeous. I get goosebumps whenever I listen to him. Go listen to “She’s Mine” “Oh Sherrie” “You better wait” “Young Hearts Forever” from his solo albums (there are more) and watch “Mother Father” “Wheel in the Sky” where he synchronizes his voice to Schon’s guitar from Journey Live in Houston. He’s amazing, no autotune or backing tracks.
I'll up that the other 100th of a %. But, gotta say that holds true for most of the icons of music from the mid 20th century right up to about the last 15 years of it and then the music just died in the hearts of the performers...it was all about the money and the moves or something. But it just veered off into repetitive words and a beat for working out to on exercise video. Gone were the masters of the industry. There were a few here and there that had the soul and heart and they are still with us today. But nothing like these. Maybe predjudiced, but I listen to all kinds of genres. Used to work in the distributing of entertainment music and then movies and it's always these who's words crop up in everyday conversations that add flair and perspective, because they're just as relevant now as they were then. I've even heard sermons where priests/pastors use their lyrics to make a point - and the congregations, a mix of young and old alike - nod, knowing exactly what is meant by the reference. Ran a daycare in the early 80's - 2002 and the adults those kids became, to this day, will listen to, and prefer, these artists to their own generation's. Maybe had something to do with not spending your hard earned money on owning a classic, or because it's free to download; it was cheap and not supportive of the artists, so they did one hit wonders and vanished. ?? Not sure, but as the group America once sang...bye-bye ms american pie I drove my Chevy to the levy but the levy was dry. Them good ol' boys were drinking whiskey and Rye, singing this'll be the day that I die.... the day the music died.
Hands down his best. Who else can sit in front of a mic in the dark and command millions of views. No one period.Thanks for the 80's and beyond Steven. Timeless professional.
His voice is soothing to me, I lost my husband in January 2022 and his ballads help me to cope, thank you Steve I know that you can relate with this! I miss you Pete my love, 45 years wasn't enough, Till we meet again!!!
Steve was the truth. That dude could really sing. I miss the 80s so much, it seems like everything was cool, Friday night football games, school dances, kissing under the bleachers, McDonald's was good back then, some underage drinking and weed, DAMN I wish I could do it again, lol.
I need a love that grows I don't want it unless I know That each passing hour Someone somehow Will be there, ready to share... I need a love that's strong I'm so tired of being alone But will my lonely heart play the part Of the fool again Before I begin Foolish heart, hear me calling Stop before you start falling Foolish heart, heed my warning You've been wrong before Don't be wrong anymore Feeling that feeling again I'm playing a game I can't win Love's knocking on the door Of my heart once more Think I'll let her in Before I begin Foolish heart, hear me calling Stop before you start falling Foolish heart, heed my warning You've been wrong before Don't be wrong anymore Foolish heart... Foolish, foolish heart You've been wrong before Foolish heart, hear me calling Stop before you start falling Foolish heart, heed my warning You've been wrong before Don't be wrong anymore Foolish heart... Oh foolish, foolish heart You've been wrong before Foolish, foolish heart Foolish heart
Thanks for posting the words to this beautiful song! They are forever engraved in the minds and hearts of Steve's loyal fans! Always FTLOSP! 💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕
Steve Perry is a National Treasure! I live in Hanford, California which is Steve’s hometown, and we are so proud to represent someone so talented and wholesome! Love you Steve!!
+Tommy Lorensen Some forget he was a solo artist before Journey, hes not the original vocalist of that band. but he is the most remembered and no doubt that band had its greatest success with him at the front. I was very young in the 80s, hell, I was only 9 when he became a solo artist the second time, but Im glad I lived to see those days. Music was awesome then.
It's amazing how this song can bring you right back to the 80's in an instant. I know I will sound old for saying this, but they just don't make music like this anymore. The only male singer of this Era that can actually sing is Justin Bieber, he has talent but everything else is crap.
Me. And I thank my parents for tht...the 80s were the best time n era for music lyrically. The times then were simpler but i didnt know this bc i was a young teen growing up. Thank you Mom & Dad R.I.P 2016 two Angel's gone to💔💔❤❤😇😇 heaven
I heard this song the other day and I instantly became emotional. Steve Perry was one of my mom's favorite singers and this was one of her favorite songs. I remember her playing the "Street Talk" album many times, singing along to "Foolish Heart" and "Oh, Sherrie" (another one of her favorites.) She passed away a few years ago and any time I hear a favorite song of hers I think about how much I miss her and how quickly time passes. I'm grateful for the time I did have with her and I cherish all the wonderful memories connected with the music she (and I) loved.
I am sorry for your loss. There's no replacing her. I know. But you can visit the things that she held precious. And for a moment you and her are one again. Keep finding those things and she will always be close 💔❤
Beautifully said..I too was just the same.. my daughter would say Moma sing 🎤 Steve Perry.. Precious memories..May we all keep remembering..Blessings to you!!
Just an amazing VOICE, insane vocal range this man has. Where are men singers like this now a days? Gone are those days when men had vocal talent like this.
+Julie Bridge Tell your teenage daughter that it's embarrassment to put Justin in the same sentence with Steve Perry. He clears his throat better than Justin sings. Come on.
OMG EVERY SINGLE TIME I press play, no matter when, where, what year, I must REPEAT @LEAST 10 TIMEZ......never failz.....as if I never want it to end ....and don't lemme actually WATCH the video, with Stevez PURE heartfelt, passionate sexy self. Ugh. I'm so done.
Soaring vocals---just the best ever. I'm so happy to know he's recording again....amazing man, greater talent. Thank you, Steve, for sharing your voice with us.
I had the privilege of seeing Steve Perry on his solo tour in '94. They could have turned the band off and let him carry the entire concert by himself; his voice is simply that incredibly good.
Brandon Taylor I cried when he toured in 94 and I couldn’t see him. I was 8 months pregnant and on bed rest. I was so lucky to see him in 1981 @ 16 years old, Journey Escape Tour, in Denver. Best concert I have been to yet, and I’ve been to a lot of concerts.
My personal opinion, Best voice in rock n roll.. as raspy as his voice is Steve Perry hits some serious highs. Just an all around amazing musician. ❤️ Journey
I totally agree.. It bring tears to my eyes listening to his voice now in my late 60's... I wonder where have these voices gone? Their music have never been replaced..
It's Steve Perry's best song... There is no more significant song than this, throughout his solo career. His lyrics are perfect because at some point in life everyone, without exception, we have a silly heart
I love Steve Perry. He came into my work and no one but me knew it was him. We talked for a long time and he was so gracious towards me. I'm so thankful for that moment with him. Such an immense talent. God truly blessed him.
Steve is showing us his soul/r&b roots with this beautiful song. Had he not joined Journey he could of been a big solo artist too. He didn't really need a band since his exquisite voice was an orchestra all to itself.
***** True but before he joined the band he was just another struggling musician who's career was going nowhere (incredible as that might sound). In fact he almost gave up on the music business altogether. Obviously fate stepped and took care of the rest.
Hey, I am 34 old youg man who loves this song because my fathers and my uncles just to play it when everybody in my family was reunited and having fun together. Many years ago from those great times in my grandmother house listening these legendary classics.
I haven't heard this song in years...decades. It just popped into my head. I wanted to hear it. I've always loved this song. Now I can hear it any time I want to.

I'm a 65 yr black man and steve one of the greatest vocalists I have ever heard!
❤❤❤❤❤😊
You’re not a black man, buddy , you are just a man…to me
Shole was was. I am 55 and Journey was all that back when
I remember listening to this on my little radio in Chicagoland in the 80s on my way to and from school
I am also black I love Steven
I believe that somewhere in the world, there are people who feel the same emotions that I feel when I listen to masterpieces like this song.
Omg, I feel the same.
Hello friend❤
Same.
Meeeeeeeeeee
There are! We are right there with you!
With you! 100%
I'm 75 and Steve Perry IS the greatest male voice that ever graced this planet. ❤❤

That is subjective but this is a beautiful song.
@@smartiedjsame here😢
No auto tune, No BS.......Just pure talent.
Steve's voice goes straight to the heart. It is just breathtaking.
You`re so right...
Steve Perry: the soundtrack of my youth. Forever grateful. Immense talent and the best looking man to grace the earth!

Often imitated...never duplicated
These were the days of talent!! No auto tune just a smooth voice that gives you chills !!
Wow! A reply from Steve himself. Great that he is reading how much people love him. His voice is amazing. Nobody sounds like Steve Perry.
Yes,its throug, its gone 😢
I'm 74 years old and discovered Steve Perry yesterday. My children are in their 50's so they probably remember him. I was too busy working and cleaning and doing the endless laundry. His voice is very good. How did I miss it before?
Check out his songs with Journey too. You will likely remember a lot of them.
That's a good question. Omg!
A man, a microphone, and his beautiful voice! That's all that's needed. Sign of a true excellent singer!🤗
Excelente
Enough said! Just raw talent. Blessed from God!
Gotta give him his props
Steve Perry is one of the greatest voices. Journey is not the same without him!
Cant listen to open arms without crying that was my grandmother fav song rest her soul!

One on the greatest voices of this generation who else agrees with me?
Yes! Minus some male opera singers, he has the bet male voice out there as far as mainstream music goes.
Of course in 💯 agreement!!🥰
Meeee !!!
@@renegaderunner332
No better singer than Perry. He is the greatest along with Mercury
You're absolutely right 😎👍🤳🎼🎵🎶🎙🎤🎛🎚🎧📻🎹🎸🥁🎷
I am literally in tears listening to this song. Not out of sadness but because the man can sing. And his voice is so moving. He is one of the best.
So many memories
P p😊
Ah totally agree Sam!
Exac5
i dont know about the tears part, but yea, The Lord blessed him with a great singing voice.
Gosh people that lived in the 80s you were so lucky, he has such a perfect voice since I discovered him I don’t see music in the same way. Legend
I was only 4 back then.
We were lucky. I was there. I want to go back.
@@dougkabler3032 I was born too late. Any years before 1986 were magical. The weather was better, life was much simpler, and there was no stress.

This is when a vocalist only needed a mic and not autotune to sing!! One of the greatest vocalists of all time.
El mejor
Ive deleted my previous comments cause I have a life.
@@jtl9945 Autotune came out in 1997 if you ever listened to Steve before that you would know that Autotune was not used in the making of this song.
@@jtl9945 I think he meant that anything that changes your voice is autotune,not the fact that making steve's voice better is autotune
@@jtl9945 yeah but changing your vocals and making it sound better are two diff things
Absolute perfection! Mr. Perry, your voice is a national treasure, and thumbs down should be disabled for this song...just disrespectful
Smmfh, very well said, & so true.!!
This gentleman easily stays on my list of phenomenal male vocalists. Breathless.
Yes!@@rachelle_banks
Amen
So very true just AMAZING!!!
One man singing. No back up singers. No audio tricks, just a master of his craft. Wow.
No audiotone. No frills. Just a true, gifted singer.
Facts!!!!
This !
great music video too
There's no other singer who can compare to this beautiful man & his sweet, soulful voice. I can sit back & close my eyes & just listen and let him take me back to all those wonderful concerts in the 80s. Great memories!
Best singer ever walked on this globe...
Agree
Steve Perry is the best male vocalist of all-time.
Change my mind.
One of the best, we all have different opinions.
Why did you changed your mind tho???
I think the Bee Gees are the best of all time.
James Ingram?
Never 🙈🥰
His voice was magic. I love how he doesn't over-sing this which is a common trap for rock ballads. Perry's expression and emotion are on point.
💯💯💯💯💯💯
Eu amo tudo isso!
EXACTLY 💯 If I were to hit the notes this man can do I wouldn't be able to speak anymore and he can just BELLOW his beautiful voice so casually it's unreal

I don't think I've ever heard a male singer who can hold his notes as long as Steve Perry can. His voice is....~magic~
Michael Jackson. But you're also right
Jeff Tate from Queensryche.
Prince, stevie, mj, but for me, steve is the best
Sharon Warren ...... He is capable of nearly 3 Octaves.❤️

They KNOW the athlete in Steve Perry. My God.
Where is he now Gayle?
Hands down one of the best voices of the 80's. And one of the sweetest tunes...
I used to love this song.
Yup exactly right!
His voice is fantastic
and you my dear have one of the sweetest faces.

Absolutely one of the greatest songs ever made. That voice, the song, the instruments.
Forgive me wrong song earlier. When You Love A Woman. This is the ultimate love song. When he was still with Journey
My favorite song EVER in the whole wide world!!
Love Steve Perry's music!!!

I love the way you wrote that! It's absolutely true!!❤
Why do so many people post replies asking "who's still listening? People well never stop listening to Steve Perry
ITA, Jacqueline
Exactly
NO! ,only if they don't have the rare gem that is music inside their "hearts", and are "foolish"!-
Jacqueline Whiteley he is timeless and I think this was his first song without Journey.
They'll be listening to Steve Perry in 2525.
This song will never get old. Pure gold.
What a voice. Gorgeous. Journey was never the same after Perry left...never.

Akiko Fujishima This is a Steve Perry video it's his time to shine!!!💙 go to arenls video and talk about him there not here!!!
not the same though, perry was the band
SO so true
there is only thing i can say about that, and that is (AMEN )!!!!!!!!!
I saw Journey when I was 8 months pregnant, and Steve was at the top of his game (1981). There will never be another voice like his, IMO.
Steve Perry one of the world's greatest singers. 🙌
AMEN !!!!
he is up there with John Farnham - The Voice!
Listen I got to tired of getting hurt
His stunning voice literally takes my breath away...
He's one of maybe four or five male singing voices whose tone and timber can actually bring me to tears.
His voice often brings me to tears.
@C Sheets the same could be said about your profile pic. 😍
Agreed. I miss this type of singing! #Journey #80sstill tock!
Yes indeed!!!! It is like velvet soooo smooth and tender!!!! Just love him so veru much!!!
This is one of those timeless songs. It's so raw and embodies all of those feelings of angst and vulnerability that comes with falling for someone...maybe the wrong someone. It's a perfect song paired with one of the most talented emotive singers of our time.

If you are, i want to remind you that you are a very special gift to life that I personally is eternally grateful for, my introduction to you was the song....When you love a woman...That song really blew my mind and many, many years after I saw the video and this time both the song and your eyes did it again, so many times, I barely have any left.💥
Yes you are special, indeed.🙏🌹🏆
Steve doesn't need the music, he is the music. Thanks Steve for all the years of the best music around ever, then or now.
He s d definition of music
He has perfect pitch.
No Auto- tune necessary..No jumping around with pants around their ankles..And no Bragging about how rich they are..This is Pure Talent..
mattdaddyful Who are you talking about Aerosmith???
Wow, the shade.
Amen
Best comment ever on TH-cam.
Amen...
No one could ever come close to this man's voice. Unbelievable amazing and just beautiful.
John Farnham can
Pitch is perfect
@@georgeibrahim7945 who? If he’s so great, how come I’ve never heard of him and when I look him up on Google nothing comes up. Bot
@@jenniferdixon7633 John Farnham who is known as the voice down under. He isn’t world famous cause he chose not to tour outside of Australia for family reasons. Look him up on TH-cam for example him singing the Beatles song “help” live with the Melbourne symphony orchestra

This man's voice can stop you in your tracks. Just stunning
35-year-old song still better than anything being put out today.
You're sure damn right about that 💯
Anything? I'd stack half a dozen Sia or Adele songs against this. There is great music out there.
Mark Maratea they’re both great but Steve Perry’s voice is unbelievably gorgeous. I get goosebumps whenever I listen to him. Go listen to “She’s Mine” “Oh Sherrie” “You better wait” “Young Hearts Forever” from his solo albums (there are more) and watch “Mother Father” “Wheel in the Sky” where he synchronizes his voice to Schon’s guitar from Journey Live in Houston. He’s amazing, no autotune or backing tracks.
I so agree with you! That's why I'm still listening in 2019!
Yes indeed true music never die's
Steve is just heads above other singers. I think he is the best rock singer ever.
He is up there, still there is Plant, Scott, B. Johnson, Lee Roth and other voices. But he is great
Steve Perry is my favorite rock singer of all times 😊 But there are other wonderful singers like Axl Rose
Freddie Mercury
Britney Spears is by far the best female vocalist
did jason smith really say brittany spears is the best female vocalist? holy shit.
Steve Perry, one of the best singers in the world. 😍
Right next to George Michael. Simply stunning.
@@eartheternal3565 I admire George but Steve's voice is an another level, I think
@@leonthanhpham1589
Ooooh man.... I'd have to say no. Steve is my all time favorite but I don't think there would ever be a loser in that match up.
@Megan Willis
Everyone does. That's why they call him "the voice".
Yes!!
So so much better music than this generation ❤
I'd rather listen to Steve , better than 99.99% of the new music that is out there now.
As Neal Schon said, one in a million.
I'll up that the other 100th of a %. But, gotta say that holds true for most of the icons of music from the mid 20th century right up to about the last 15 years of it and then the music just died in the hearts of the performers...it was all about the money and the moves or something. But it just veered off into repetitive words and a beat for working out to on exercise video. Gone were the masters of the industry. There were a few here and there that had the soul and heart and they are still with us today. But nothing like these. Maybe predjudiced, but I listen to all kinds of genres. Used to work in the distributing of entertainment music and then movies and it's always these who's words crop up in everyday conversations that add flair and perspective, because they're just as relevant now as they were then. I've even heard sermons where priests/pastors use their lyrics to make a point - and the congregations, a mix of young and old alike - nod, knowing exactly what is meant by the reference. Ran a daycare in the early 80's - 2002 and the adults those kids became, to this day, will listen to, and prefer, these artists to their own generation's. Maybe had something to do with not spending your hard earned money on owning a classic, or because it's free to download; it was cheap and not supportive of the artists, so they did one hit wonders and vanished. ?? Not sure, but as the group America once sang...bye-bye ms american pie I drove my Chevy to the levy but the levy was dry. Them good ol' boys were drinking whiskey and Rye, singing this'll be the day that I die.... the day the music died.
I can listen to Steve sing over and over again. His emotional delivery is beyond compare. He has that magical quality which touches your heart.
That Part Exactly!!.....🤍🪙😭🎁🖤🎼🎤
So nicely said...
I totally agree with you I love this song 🥰🖤
Me too❤ over and over!
Hands down his best. Who else can sit in front of a mic in the dark and command millions of views. No one period.Thanks for the 80's and beyond Steven. Timeless professional.
There are definitely others, but I absolutely LOVE Steve! ❣️
November 2024 Steve is still the best!
He takes my breath away. The sound of his voice. I become completely mesmerized
Me too!
His voice is soothing to me, I lost my husband in January 2022 and his ballads help me to cope, thank you Steve I know that you can relate with this! I miss you Pete my love, 45 years wasn't enough,
Till we meet again!!!
@@margaretjones1763 I am sorry for your loss. You had him for a long time ❤️🥰
Steve was the truth. That dude could really sing. I miss the 80s so much, it seems like everything was cool, Friday night football games, school dances, kissing under the bleachers, McDonald's was good back then, some underage drinking and weed, DAMN I wish I could do it again, lol.
Ridley Jones ME too!! The youth will never know what a great time we had!
Ridley Jones “McDonald’s was good back then” gold 👌🏽
Ridley Jones awww me too my friend simpler times 😂😂😂
Ridley Jones was born in 1995 but wish i was a teen in the 80’s man. This era exudes coolness and true talent
your right Macdonalds was good back then 😂
I need a love that grows
I don't want it unless I know
That each passing hour
Someone somehow
Will be there, ready to share...
I need a love that's strong
I'm so tired of being alone
But will my lonely heart play the part
Of the fool again
Before I begin
Foolish heart, hear me calling
Stop before you start falling
Foolish heart, heed my warning
You've been wrong before
Don't be wrong anymore
Feeling that feeling again
I'm playing a game I can't win
Love's knocking on the door
Of my heart once more
Think I'll let her in
Before I begin
Foolish heart, hear me calling
Stop before you start falling
Foolish heart, heed my warning
You've been wrong before
Don't be wrong anymore
Foolish heart...
Foolish, foolish heart
You've been wrong before
Foolish heart, hear me calling
Stop before you start falling
Foolish heart, heed my warning
You've been wrong before
Don't be wrong anymore
Foolish heart...
Oh foolish, foolish heart
You've been wrong before
Foolish, foolish heart
Foolish heart
Thanks for posting the words to this beautiful song! They are forever engraved in the minds and hearts of Steve's loyal fans! Always FTLOSP! 💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕
I am crying...those were the days. Thank you Steve Perry for making any day
Beautiful!
Listening to your voice is how I start my day❤.❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Steve Perrys voice is such a God given gift...Such a God given man...
His voice is great and so are his songs, but "God given?" Perry is an athiest.
Yes indeed.
@@r0xjo0 but still God gave him that talent lol
This was back when you could actually understand the words singers were saying!! What a song and what a singer in Steve Perry!
THE greatest male rock vocalist in history...nuff said!
I agree. His voice is so awesome.
He cant touch the talent of Taylor Swift period !!!!!
Steve Perry is a National Treasure! I live in Hanford, California which is Steve’s hometown, and we are so proud to represent someone so talented and wholesome! Love you Steve!!
No one has ever come close to sounding like this. Chills all over.
Arnel Pineda kinda sounds like him
@@jbmarquez3184 Arnel doesn’t sound that much like Steve Perry at all, only sometimes.
Jimi jamison
All over the world ..:)
Don't forget Mr. Perry's influence: SAM COOK! Good music is hard to make!!?
There should be two rock hall of fame inductions, Steve Perry on his own, and Steve with Journey.
I agree with you on that!
+Tommy Lorensen Some forget he was a solo artist before Journey, hes not the original vocalist of that band. but he is the most remembered and no doubt that band had its greatest success with him at the front. I was very young in the 80s, hell, I was only 9 when he became a solo artist the second time, but Im glad I lived to see those days. Music was awesome then.
John Ritcher Steve should have his own Hall of Fame
John Ritcher GREAT IDEA!
It's amazing how this song can bring you right back to the 80's in an instant. I know I will sound old for saying this, but they just don't make music like this anymore. The only male singer of this Era that can actually sing is Justin Bieber, he has talent but everything else is crap.
Blessed are those who grew up in the 80's with this kind of music.
I wouldn't trade it for anything! I wish I could go back! 🙏🏻✝️🙋🏼♀️😊
Me. And I thank my parents for tht...the 80s were the best time n era for music lyrically. The times then were simpler but i didnt know this bc i was a young teen growing up. Thank you Mom & Dad R.I.P 2016 two Angel's gone to💔💔❤❤😇😇 heaven
amen
It was great
Is it just me or i prefer songs from the 60's-90's era....
What a beautiful song! Who hasn't identified whith these lyrics?. GREAT STEVE PERRY!!.😊
I heard this song the other day and I instantly became emotional. Steve Perry was one of my mom's favorite singers and this was one of her favorite songs. I remember her playing the "Street Talk" album many times, singing along to "Foolish Heart" and "Oh, Sherrie" (another one of her favorites.) She passed away a few years ago and any time I hear a favorite song of hers I think about how much I miss her and how quickly time passes. I'm grateful for the time I did have with her and I cherish all the wonderful memories connected with the music she (and I) loved.
Sorry for your loss 😔
Meus sentimentos de pesar por sua perca, amo ouvir essas músicas, espero que minhas filhas se lembrem. As músicas ajudam a acalmar as dores. ❤️
I am sorry for your loss. There's no replacing her. I know. But you can visit the things that she held precious. And for a moment you and her are one again. Keep finding those things and she will always be close 💔❤
I am sorry for your loss.
Beautifully said..I too was just the same.. my daughter would say Moma sing 🎤 Steve Perry.. Precious memories..May we all keep remembering..Blessings to you!!
Just an amazing VOICE, insane vocal range this man has. Where are men singers like this now a days? Gone are those days when men had vocal talent like this.
I was just saying that to my teenage daughter's, even they recognize that Justin what's his name can't sing. Steve has a true gift!!
My husband has an amazing voice and yet he lacks the confidence to use it
+devonferris Paul Rodgers ain't bad. David Pack of Ambrosia wasn't too bad, either.
+Julie Bridge Tell your teenage daughter that it's embarrassment to put Justin in the same sentence with Steve Perry. He clears his throat better than Justin sings. Come on.
+Patti Massey Use it or lose it, Mr. Massey.
I love this song. I could listen to it over and over again. Steve Perry has a beautiful voice.
OMG EVERY SINGLE TIME I press play, no matter when, where, what year, I must REPEAT @LEAST 10 TIMEZ......never failz.....as if I never want it to end ....and don't lemme actually WATCH the video, with Stevez PURE heartfelt, passionate sexy self. Ugh. I'm so done.
ikr
I always listen to this even f I sleep
Soaring vocals---just the best ever. I'm so happy to know he's recording again....amazing man, greater talent. Thank you, Steve, for sharing your voice with us.
Marcia Scaramuzzi he really does! To me, him and Ann Wilson are two of the best rock voices. I would love to hear them sing a duet together.
I’m 70 yrs old& I still listen to journey !! The 70s & 80s were the greatest time in my life!
I had the privilege of seeing Steve Perry on his solo tour in '94. They could have turned the band off and let him carry the entire concert by himself; his voice is simply that incredibly good.
Me too!!! Saw him on that tour in Springfield, MA. Great show!!!
Brandon Taylor I cried when he toured in 94 and I couldn’t see him. I was 8 months pregnant and on bed rest. I was so lucky to see him in 1981 @ 16 years old, Journey Escape Tour, in Denver. Best concert I have been to yet, and I’ve been to a lot of concerts.
Brandon Taylor My mom died in 1994 at 33 years old!! She is the reason I know and LOVE JOURNEY!!!!
Agree
Agreed! He is irreplaceable & def one of a kind❤️❤️❤️
My personal opinion, Best voice in rock n roll.. as raspy as his voice is Steve Perry hits some serious highs. Just an all around amazing musician. ❤️ Journey
I totally agree..
It bring tears to my eyes listening to his voice now in my late 60's...
I wonder where have these voices gone?
Their music have never been replaced..
This may not make sense but I feel his voice is at the perfect raspiness level. Raspy but smooth and beautiful.
and Brayan Adams
I totally agree
Steve perry, brian adams, Rod stewart, voices cool
It's Steve Perry's best song... There is no more significant song than this, throughout his solo career. His lyrics are perfect because at some point in life everyone, without exception, we have a silly heart
There's a huge catalog of like 9 albums...this isn't the hardest song he's ever done.
I have to argue that "Living on Welfare" may have been better.
@Octavio Piedra Calero The heart wants what it wants
I love the song you better wait
David Ames what about ‘anyway’
GOOSEBUMPS....CHILLS ... STRAIGHT FROM THE HEART ...JUST PLAIN OLD GOD GIVEN TALENT🙏
The most underrated song that ever departed the lips of Steve Perry.....
Icon. Legend. You cannot sing better than Steve, it’s impossible. Not just the range but the emotions in his words.
💗💗💗
You said it perfectly. All of the reasons why he's my favorite singer.
I love Steve Perry. He came into my work and no one but me knew it was him. We talked for a long time and he was so gracious towards me. I'm so thankful for that moment with him. Such an immense talent. God truly blessed him.
Charles O. That is the coolest thing ever! Lucky you😃
Charles O. Very lucky indeed. That's pretty awesome.
Thats one memory not soon forgoten,..how cool.
Awesome 👍 Steve Perry ❤
Lucky! That would be a dream to have a normal chat with him.
THIS MAN IS ...AMAZING, THE BEST SINGER EVER IN THE WORLD
Yes he is!!! Steve Perry the best voice on earth and beyond forever!
I think Steve would say vocally.... Sam Cooke
Hello bro, I didn't know you liked Journey ( Steve Perry ). I have alot more 80's in my collection. We should hang out when I come up to Pennsylvania.
Daniel Avila not so many others
Trowback again
I'm 65 now , still listening Steve Perry, sweet music brings back high school days
Totally a 'drop the mic' moment... You don't need anything else but that voice!
🎧🎶💙
Pak u
I get tears when I listen to Steve Perry singing this. Not from sadness but from the sheer beauty and elegance of his voice ❤
SAME!!
Me too. I get goosebumps
Very True
So true
So true
Love isn't finding a perfect person. It's seeing an imperfect person perfectly. -
i like that
Beautifully said......I agree!!!!
That is a beautiful saying, 100% right.
Nice !!!
Going to steal that!
my honest opinion? never been a fan of his band but ...his vocal...out of this world..!
Steve Perry's immortal voice...so beautiful...speaks to hearts
"Speaks to hearts." Spot on, Joe!
Hello dear how are you doing over there..............
Some vocalists demand your instant attention.Steve is one of them.His vocal is simply sublime.
Hello dear how are you doing over there..............

Placido Domingo: Hold my beer

He is great and so is Michael MacDonald 👌😁.
He's magic.
So powerful & so well controlled.
Steve is showing us his soul/r&b roots with this beautiful song. Had he not joined Journey he could of been a big solo artist too. He didn't really need a band since his exquisite voice was an orchestra all to itself.
*****
True but before he joined the band he was just another struggling musician who's career was going nowhere (incredible as that might sound). In fact he almost gave up on the music business altogether. Obviously fate stepped and took care of the rest.
Shane Anthony en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Steve_Perry
+Victor R.
That's true but he also doesn't have much solo material to compare.
"Oh Sherrie" is a great song too though
+Victor R.
Journey songs are the best for you because that is what YOU like better. Other's have a right to their preference.
Very well said. I indeed love Journey, along with all 80s bands.
Hey, I am 34 old youg man who loves this song because my fathers and my uncles just to play it when everybody in my family was reunited and having fun together. Many years ago from those great times in my grandmother house listening these legendary classics.
To the reader. Steve Perry was an extraordinary talent. Journey didn't know how great they had it!
Well, they kind of did. There were tremendous pressures and the other guys just blew it...
Steve Perry's beautiful voice is one of a kind. 💖
*is an extraordinary talent. He's not dead and is still producing music to this day..
It just doesn’t get any better than the magic of Steve Perry 💜
So TRUE!
Perfectly said!!!!
I haven't heard this song in years...decades. It just popped into my head. I wanted to hear it. I've always loved this song. Now I can hear it any time I want to.
This was the era when you needed a voice to become famous not doing poetry while doing music.
An amazing trip down memory lane. Laughter and tears.
