I mimic the last comment Mick won a Grammy for this Song, and Lou sings the song and DOESNT get a Grammy or credit for the song HE sang??? That’s CRAZY!!
Mick Jones is a a$$hole and that song wouldn't of won him a Grammy if it wasn't for Lou's voice and his outstanding singing,Lou Gramm is Foreigner and when he left Foreigner left with him.
No offense to the longtime lead singer replacement but there is no Foreigner without Lou, one of the top 10 rock singers of all time. If you haven't heard him sing Black Dog by Led Zeppelin, TH-cam it, made it all his own. Just wow.
Lou came to my small hometown in Ohio in 2006 . My cousin was the manager of the hotel where he was staying. So during the break she asked me if I’d like to meet him. I was thrilled I went backstage and he was such a nice guy. I’ll never forget that day ❤
His phrasing is so unique to him. The way he subtly transitions between powerful , softly , textured and smooth- and it’s probably all natural to him - simply amazing
I‘be always been amazed with Lou Gramm‘s vocal skills which includes his interpretation, his phrasing his expression, not only his sheer power. But look at this video: the man sits and sings „I wanna know what love is“! Most singers can’t sing it standing and he does it sitting… 😮
Lou is a f'ing pro. To sing I Want to Know What Love Is with that much passion even after how that f'ing Mick Jones stole all the credit for it's writing.
Lou Gramm just came to my home town and sang at our festival (10/8/21). What a gift to the community it was!!! So much fun, mind blowing to be so close to a rock legend on stage.
Most people don't realize that with some techniques a singer can get around a hard part switching to head voice and back in an instant or change the shape of the mouth get them over the high notes too and there're more
Lou was Mick-Rolled. Stand tall Lou! The Rock Hall of Fame awaits your tremendous legacy. Glenn Frey once referred to Don Henley as having a "golden throat." You too are among those rare few. The best!
Just saw FOREIGNER in INDIO, CALIFORNIA. Kelly Hanson did a fantastic job of leading FOREIGNER through all their hit songs. Mick Jones is also still in the band. The only original member left!
Dear Lou! Thank you for many years of my life marked with your distinct identity! Please keep having sparkles in your heaven-blue eyes! You are a kind, amazing and handsome human being!
Lou Gramm started out his musical ambitions as a drummer. But you'd never know it listening to that amazing voice, his range, and the control he has over the way he uses it. Incredible front man live, as well...
As a big Foreigner fan, I never been able too see Lou Gramm Live, that’s really a shame…but all these video’s proof Lou Gramm belongs in my top 5 best singers of all times.
My dear rock vocalist with a lyrical tenor range... Lou, thank you very much for discovering my inner world to create and to write my own poems. You still amaze me and I'm blessed to be a real friend of your long-time friend and learn to play my electric guitar.
Wow! Lou sings all tunes in the original key. Fantastic voice! I appreciate Mick Jones being the founder and main driving force behind Foreigner, but IMHO Lou is who made the band stand out.
These guys were a phenomenal collaboration. One of my favorite bands from my youth, and the music is forever. Thanks boys, for creating lasting memories.
NO ONE COMES CLOSE TO LOUIS ANDREW GRAMMATICO,he is the MAN,his voice is the voice all of the talent shows are looking for,FORGET IT,THERE IS ONLY ONE,GOD BLESS YOU LOU
Wow, they're so talented. So many amazing songs came from them. I haven't seen Mick play the keys so fully before. I didn't realize he played so well. And Lou Grahm, what a voice. What an awesome thing for a songwriter to have to catapult their songs with.
Alan Vaughan, have a listen to "Sometimes" by Lou with the Alan Parsons Project from 2019 or 2020. Lou's vocal chops are still intact and as gorgeous as ever.
This was in 1993. In 1992 they released The Very Best and Beyond, that year I saw them in concert at Hammerjacks in Baltimore. Epic. Thanks for posting.
Much respect for Lou. He was in his prime here. Kinda sad after health problems & time took its toll, that expectedly he's not on that same level anymore. Although still very listenable & good. He'll always be a legend.
I have seen a bunch of Lou Gramm acoustic performances on TH-cam. Please show me any artist then and now doing that and sounding amazing like that. It really is a gift.
Love this band can remember going to disco in the 80's with my older sister waiting for them to play urgent, double vision, waiting for a girl like you. Still mad about them today
Wow! thanks for posting this! I haven't seen it since I did the interview. They were so nice and I LOVE those songs. Trippy when I remember buying Feels Like the First Time 45 then then years later getting to hang with them. Thanks again!
Man, what an honor to have gotten to have met Lou Gramm, one of the best singer's of all time. Talk about talent, hard to beat Lou . Never saw him act arrogant like some, who thought they could sing, but, as we all know, Lou could..... and did. Well done.
I absolutely love that he became a Christian! His songs have that ethereal quality anyway, he sang about the type of love we all want which people can't always give us. God definitely can and I'm happy he knows this and God has used him some to carry on music in a new way.
Lou Gramm (Like Steve Perry) often imitated but will never be duplicated
Congratulations on being inducted into the R&R Hall of Fame, Lou. You deserve it. What a great voice!
Without Lou there is no Foreigner. Lou is and was the voice and face of Foreigner.
Lou Gramm. What an amazing voice. The best.
Lou Gramm, one of the best rock vocalists ever!
azguitar if not THE BEST...
Did he have a brain tumor
Agree
Jeff Kasler yes he did
👍
Lou is Foreigner and always will be, there's no imitations. Your simply the best!!
I mimic the last comment Mick won a Grammy for this Song, and Lou sings the song and DOESNT get a Grammy or credit for the song HE sang??? That’s CRAZY!!
Mick Jones is a a$$hole and that song wouldn't of won him a Grammy if it wasn't for Lou's voice and his outstanding singing,Lou Gramm is Foreigner and when he left Foreigner left with him.
@@squonk86you got that right!!!
Lou has the most incredible voice. Without him, there is no Foreigner.
That voice, the hair, the eyes, the mannerisms, the sultry speaking voice. Lou Gramm was the dream. Still love him!
No offense to the longtime lead singer replacement but there is no Foreigner without Lou, one of the top 10 rock singers of all time. If you haven't heard him sing Black Dog by Led Zeppelin, TH-cam it, made it all his own. Just wow.

Blows me away how awesome Lou Gramm can sing live.
He never screws up either just sings perfect everytime.
One of the greatest
👍👏
Lou Gramm is so good… I’m embarrassed even to sing in the shower after I hear him. Sweet Lord he has some pipes..
I never heard a comment quite like this one haha
Lou is Foreigner. Best rock voice ever!
Lou WAS Foreigner. The band would not have been nearly as successful if it weren't for Lou's voice and presence. ❤
Agree 10000%
His voice is so strong, beautiful and expressive.
One of the best rock voices.
One of the greatest singers ever.
Lou is such an INCREDIBLE talent and EVERYONE knows it, love you Lou .
Lou's voice...distinct from anyone else, so pleasing to the ear...gifted man. I always listen to a Lou song when it pops on the radio.
He seems shy and quiet but that voice when he sings. Damn.
Lou Graham was like America's version of Robert Plant - what an amazing voice
@@johnnyrocker7495 totally agree.
Lou Gramm didn't sound at all like Robert Plant..Dumb comment
LOU has such full vibe in his voice, a very special kind of voice
Lou looks kickass rockin' that Robert Plant hair. One of my all-time favorite voices. Foreigner is a joke without him.
Funny, I was thinking the same thing.
A voice you can listen to forever and never get tired of it, what must it be like to have talent like this
Lou's voice makes Foreigner,,period
Lou has one of the best voices of the generation
My God! I’ve never heard this almost acoustic version. Lou is an unbelievable. This is just great.
Anyone could be sitting there playing keyboards... as long as you've got Lou there, it will be fabulous.
His phrasing is so unique to him. The way he subtly transitions between powerful , softly , textured and smooth- and it’s probably all natural to him - simply amazing

my pops was his lead guitarist! look up "a mix of lou gramm" youll see him on midnight blue and a few others :)
It is a real shame what happened to Lou. To me Lou is Foreigner
His song between different worlds was my wedding song
How Lou could push his voice that hard night in and night out still blows my mind
Most people don't realize that with some techniques a singer can get around a hard part switching to head voice and back in an instant or change the shape of the mouth get them over the high notes too and there're more
Thank you Lou for your incredible talent. I will say this about Mick. He was an a**hole BUT he knew talent.
Much respect and love for Lou Gramm. ❤️
Mick Jones was a first class d-bag. Lou was (still is) the man. Can’t wait to see him in Red Bank in Feb ‘24!
Lou will be a fraction of himself....enjoy.
Puts his heart and soul in every song love this man
I’m 61 now , then I was in love with this voice , this song , still I’m still inlove with it ❤
Lou gramm was one of the best vocalists in the music industry.
I've seen them live dozens of times.
I totally agree. Wow! A dozen times you got to see them?! I thought my 3 times was good.
Best rendition of "Feels like the first time" ever, hands down.
Lou's control over his vocals is nothing short of amazing.
he was so handsome with the voice of a true angel
Lou was Mick-Rolled. Stand tall Lou! The Rock Hall of Fame awaits your tremendous legacy. Glenn Frey once referred to Don Henley as having a "golden throat." You too are among those rare few. The best!
We were spoiled by these bands.. only to treasure them more than ever...now
No one else can do it like Lou. He was Foreigner.
Just saw FOREIGNER in INDIO, CALIFORNIA. Kelly Hanson did a fantastic job of leading FOREIGNER through all their hit songs. Mick Jones is also still in the band. The only original member left!
IS.
@@gregs.427Mick is not touring with them, though. So 0 original members in the band. Of course it is time to say farewell.
SAW LOU GRAMM PLAY LAST NIGHT AT THE SABAN THEATRE IN BEVERLY HILLS...HE KILLED IT AND THE NICEST MAN YOU EVER MET
Met him and saw him many times and yes he's a very nice person and that voice is so nice. I have a guitar pick of his.
One of rock’s greatest voices!!
Maybe one of the best Rock singers I’ve heard in my lifetime.
Dear Lou! Thank you for many years of my life marked with your distinct identity! Please keep having sparkles in your heaven-blue eyes! You are a kind, amazing and handsome human being!

Ditto
SAME HAPPENS TO ME,WHAT A SHAME!😥
Me too, because he never performed in Russia, but what a great singer and a nice human! I'm blessed to have a real dream in my life.
Lou, you are beautiful and brilliant. So glad YOU are finally getting that RRHOF recognition you deserve.
I like his voice better now.
Me too! Just a small town boy and doll of a guy from Rochester NY with a voice from above!
Lou Gramm was ABSOLUTELY AMAZING. Loved him in Shadow King as well. ONE ONE OF THE BEST VOICES IN ROCK AND OVERALL MUSIC IN HIS TIME.
Very, very close between Lou Gramm and Steve Perry. Lou’s voice was ridiculously good!
Lou Gramm, what a gorgeous man.
Let's just say, a true vocalist and legend.
Unbelievable...Lou is the man...can sing his ass off...made my hair standup...
My absolute favorite male rock voice ever
God bless Lou. His voice MADE THAT BAND, and got a huge screw you Lou for his trouble. It is NOT Foreigner without Lou.
My dear rock vocalist with a lyrical tenor range... Lou, thank you very much for discovering my inner world to create and to write my own poems. You still amaze me and I'm blessed to be a real friend of your long-time friend and learn to play my electric guitar.
Wow! Lou sings all tunes in the original key. Fantastic voice! I appreciate Mick Jones being the founder and main driving force behind Foreigner, but IMHO Lou is who made the band stand out.

This song would had never made it if it wasn’t for Lou it is sad how Lou was left out. 😢

One of the best singers ever!!

Lou has one of the best voices in rock and roll.
Amazing artists, amazing band, when you see Lou then and now can't help to say WOW!

Alan Vaughan, have a listen to "Sometimes" by Lou with the Alan Parsons Project from 2019 or 2020. Lou's vocal chops are still intact and as gorgeous as ever.
Lou is brilliant
great sound and feeling
Simply stunning.
This was in 1993. In 1992 they released The Very Best and Beyond, that year I saw them in concert at Hammerjacks in Baltimore. Epic. Thanks for posting.
What a beautiful talent chills on my spine and tears in my eyes for Lou Gramm what a raw pure talent

Much respect for Lou. He was in his prime here. Kinda sad after health problems & time took its toll, that expectedly he's not on that same level anymore. Although still very listenable & good. He'll always be a legend.
Damn that guy could sing! I had forgotten...
Amazing voice.👍🎸😎✌️
I have seen a bunch of Lou Gramm acoustic performances on TH-cam. Please show me any artist then and now doing that and sounding amazing like that. It really is a gift.
Geoff Tate’s acoustic set on Unplugged is epic.
Love this band can remember going to disco in the 80's with my older sister waiting for them to play urgent, double vision, waiting for a girl like you. Still mad about them today
Wow! thanks for posting this! I haven't seen it since I did the interview. They were so nice and I LOVE those songs. Trippy when I remember buying Feels Like the First Time 45 then then years later getting to hang with them. Thanks again!
+Michael Castner Cool, i really enjoyed this interview. Lou really had you at 11:35 ^^

Man, what an honor to have gotten to have met Lou Gramm, one of the best singer's of all time. Talk about talent, hard to beat Lou . Never saw him act arrogant like some, who thought they could sing, but, as we all know, Lou could..... and did. Well done.
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
LOVE LOVE LOVE THESE 2....BEST VOCALIST OFF ALL TIME....MY FAV❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤👍👍👍👍👍👍👍😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤟
I absolutely love that he became a Christian! His songs have that ethereal quality anyway, he sang about the type of love we all want which people can't always give us. God definitely can and I'm happy he knows this and God has used him some to carry on music in a new way.
I love that he's a Christian but I hope that he's not holding any grudges particularly against Mick Jones.
El canto sobre el amor de Dios en ese momento, en esta canción... sin darse cuenta , ya era cristiano
Foreigner is Lou Gramm - What a voice!
Masterful performance by Lou Gramm🔥
I just fall down when I hear Lou❣️
❤
Lou Gramm love love love
