13 years ago when I was in highschool, I remember pretty much seeing him ranked at 67th top rock vocalist of all time by the rolling stones mag... And that just pissed me off 😂
Prince called Steve to have him listen to Purple Rain because he thought it sounded like faithfully and didn’t want to step on any toes. Respect. 💜 He would have been 63 tomorrow 🥲🥲
Thanks for the info I never knew that Prince did that. We watched that movie I don't know how many times back then & yes the 1st time I heard Purple Rain I could hear this song in it. Still hard to understand he's gone.
Arguably the greatest power ballad ever recorded. Journey (with Steve) is my favorite band of all time! I love the line in this song that's says "I get the joy of rediscovering you". Such a powerful sentiment of his love for her. 😊
It's kinda weird now that the lyric "Sending all my love on a wire" now will no longer make sense to a new generation, seeing that phones these days are...well wireless. LOL
Yes! He’s not called Steve “the voice” Perry for nothing-Jayy, please go down this massive rabbit hole of Journeys HUGE hits- “Who’s Cryin Now” LIVE 1981 in Houston- phenomenal! “Open Arms” is another of their beautiful love ballads- get some major groove from their song “Lovin, Touchin’ ,Sqeezin.” If you watch them live in Houston 1981, you’ll be blown away-🤞🏼💖🌻
Dont mind me. Just a girl wishing for this kind of love. This song makes me feel love for someone not yet in my life. Makes me yearn for a simple love. This song is so beautiful. When Steve sings, you LISTEN. his voice takes you to another place, one that can only be felt with the heart.
@@thomassanfrancisco5850 Rollie is a hell of a good singer, just when he heard Steves voice.. he figured he could give his pipes a rest and Let Steve belt out those amazing notes
Another spot-on and heartfelt reaction! I identify with this song, I’ve had to travel for work and being away from my wife and daughter is soooooo hard. My faithfulness is never in question but man does it hurt to be apart.
Steve Perry was a master of finding the vocal ping/frequency in his upper registry and revisited it over and over again. Truly an other-worldly gift that few singers have the ability to replicate.
Steve Perry is the best singer of all times he is my crush Journey the band is amazing to I had the pleasure of seeing them in concert I loved loved loved it and I love love love Journey with Steve ❤️✌️❤️💯
As a child of the 60s, Journey has been a regular since the early 70s. Still on my playlist in my phone. Steve Perry‘s voice and Journey have always been a part of my life. And especially Faithfully. Glad you enjoyed it. I could tell it touched you deep as well - how could it not? The 60s and 70s - the music - there is no comparison. I was a regular at Fillmore West, and saw so many amazing bands - astounding.
i comment on this whenever any one reacts to this classic. Is there any better line than "I get the joy of rediscovering you" that has ever been written into any love song? i don't know of any.
Journey has been my favorite band for nearly 40 years. This is my fav#1 Journey song; closely followed by Still They Ride, and Who's Crying Now. Keyboardist Jonathan Caine wrote this song based on the way he felt on the road because of how much he missed his wife. Steve Perry's voice, along with Neal Schon's amazing guitar work on the melody made an amazing combo for this band and they were so good together for so long - they were made for performing these arena hits. All of their songs were great - but to really hear Steve at his best - check out "STILL THEY RIDE" That's so an amazing and emotional song.
My wife dedicated this song to me on a radio station way back when there was a time when we dated we broke up. This was her way to apologize and rekindle our relationship. The rest is history
A huge hidden gem of theirs is "Why Can't This Night Go On Forever", some of his best vocals for sure. Should react to it! Only one other youtuber has to that song 🤷🏼♂️
"Two strangers learn to fall in love again". That line gers me every single time. Sums up how it must be for all those who's work takes them far from their families for great lengths of time. I'm thinking especially about our armed forces, where communication is limited and risks are high.
I am a diehard Journey fan. When this song came out, it hit my heart hard because I knew they all “felt” every lyric. Journey was the hardest working, constantly touring band during this time.
My daughter was born premature, swallowed some blood, and was in the NICU for about 10 days. This was the first song I sang to her. She was so small, barely 5 lbs, tubes down her throat, IV coming out of her. I was so excited yet so scared. This was the first song that came to mind
Steve Perry .living legend... His voice wraps you in love and passion....it goes straight to your heart...how blessed I was as a teen to have seen him in concert...many times...and each time was a true blessing .. no limit to his talent....I hope Steve Perry knows how much he is admired and loved❣️❣️❣️❣️
Brings me back to May 5th 1983, Brendan Byrne Arena, East Rutherford, New Jersey. Man what a show! Somewhere here on TH-cam is a live version of this with Steve singing lead.
Jonathan Cain (piano) wrote that along with Steve Perry because of his relationship with his wife, struggling to keep it together because of being gone 6 months+ touring. We don't realize the hardships & downfalls of bands, at least how it used to be done back in the 70's & 80's, much different than today! Beautiful song, my favorite ballet of theirs! NO ONE can sing like "The Voice"
I live in the town, Lemoore, California, where Steve Perry grew up and graduated high school. I live two blocks from the high school. I used to listen to Steve Perry before he was with Journey and he was singing with local musicians for the Kings County fair. I’ve known of Steve Perry & Journey, since I was a teenager and I am 65. I am basically the same age as Steve Perry, I am so glad to see other people enjoying one of our hometown homegrown phenomenal singers
My wife's favorite group. Steve Perry one of the great voices of rock. The gentleman who sang with them after Steve retired did a good job filling big shoes.
Steve Perry was definitely something to behold sweet Jayy…😘😘😘not to mention the band .. including Ross Valory on bass, Jon Cain on keyboards, Neal Schon on guitar, and Steve Smith on drums..
Watching you watching and listening to the song made a 63 year old man cry. You get it. Thanks again for sharing this wonderful song 🎵 with us all. Your just great. 😎
I saw them in 1983 on that tour here in Orlando Florida & there are a couple of Florida road clips in this video from then which is cool. Watching this vid always takes me back to being 17 again going to that concert. Amazing & of course they played this song that night . Another big hit for them. I think Steve had the stache at that time
Wow really brings back great memories of being a teenager back then so many fun times went by so fast, I truly believe that we were blessed to have experienced those days 🤔
Jayy, you would melt at Steve’s “well seasoned” voice in “When you love a women”. It’s his last album with Journey. His voice is still “The Voice” but you hear the difference that all the years of singing did to his vocal cords…very sexy sound.
I love your reactions. They are so genuine. You show every emotion, whether good or bad. Nobody can match your reactions. You don’t hold back. Way to go and never stop.
This track is so dope OMG the guitar is awesome, the drums are off the hook and the vocals homeboi can break the note and that FAITHFULLY at the end of every vocals are awesome FAITHFULLY
After 45 years listening to Steve Perry his voice still amazes me. The best heart soul touching song Steve Perry has sung is # i need you" & #2You belong to me" and last but not least is #3 "in the rain" good out the tissues because he touches your soul you can feel and here the pain in Steve voice. He made the songs two years ago and his voice is different like a raspy voice but he makes it sound outstanding and amazing
The best part of the song is Steve Perry's sincere delivery. The best part of the video is when Steve is looking in the mirror, having second thoughts about shaving off his cheesy moustache, lol. Thank goodness he made the right decision! Ha ha. 😁
Steve Perry is arguably the greatest vocalist in the history of rock and roll. Legendary.
I totally agree 👍
I also agree 100%.
Actually it is arguable. Since Freddie Mercury is universally recognized as the GOAT. But I always loved Steve Perry more.
@@nittydalion Freddie Mercury was the greatest front man in the world no-one could touch him
13 years ago when I was in highschool, I remember pretty much seeing him ranked at 67th top rock vocalist of all time by the rolling stones mag... And that just pissed me off 😂
Steve Perry was such an amazing voice of the 80s. I love him
Steve had the most perfect pitch I've ever heard, especially live in concert.
Goat
Freddie was pretty good to
@@OtakuMainer oh definitely.
Prince called Steve to have him listen to Purple Rain because he thought it sounded like faithfully and didn’t want to step on any toes. Respect. 💜 He would have been 63 tomorrow 🥲🥲
Wow I didn’t know that. Both are amazing songs
RIP PRINCE! Amazing musician & visionary, fucking shame he didn't get respect he deserve for the brilliant guitar player that he was~RIP~
Prince actually called Jonathan Cain because he wrote "Faithfully". Not Steve.
Thanks for the info I never knew that Prince did that. We watched that movie I don't know how many times back then & yes the 1st time I heard Purple Rain I could hear this song in it. Still hard to understand he's gone.
@@Krow-go3ps absolutely truth!!💜🙌🏻
No hate to Steve Augeri and Arnel Pineda, both talented singers, but Steve Perry was the best frontman and singer Journey ever had.
What, no mention of Gregg Rolie?
@@wesdog8975 I said what I said.
Well said Roderick SP he sang from his heart. The others not so much
Arnel took up the mantel the best.
Steve is one of the greatest vocalists in general
Arguably the greatest power ballad ever recorded. Journey (with Steve) is my favorite band of all time! I love the line in this song that's says "I get the joy of rediscovering you". Such a powerful sentiment of his love for her. 😊
Not arguably.. .is the best rock ballad
Very talented men with extraordinary voice may you be blessed much love for you
That's my favorite line, too.
The Cleanest Pipes in the Business
I grew up with this band
Legends
Goat
"I'll get the joy or rediscovering you" Quite possibly one of the sweetest lyrics written.💕
Nearly right, it's "I get the joy OF rediscovering you." 😉
Oops!
It's kinda weird now that the lyric "Sending all my love on a wire" now will no longer make sense to a new generation, seeing that phones these days are...well wireless. LOL
"along the wire"
True,and I miss those days so very much.🤘✌❤❤❤
I remember when phones were still wired lol
Yes! He’s not called Steve “the voice” Perry for nothing-Jayy,
please go down this massive rabbit hole of Journeys HUGE hits- “Who’s Cryin Now” LIVE 1981 in Houston- phenomenal! “Open Arms” is another of their beautiful love ballads- get some major groove from their song “Lovin, Touchin’ ,Sqeezin.” If you watch them live in Houston 1981, you’ll be blown away-🤞🏼💖🌻
Who's Crying Now is an absolute banger!
Open Arms both brings back some awesome memories and is a phenomenal song.✌❤
@@ursulaturner7980 oh yes- those special memories- ☺️
Just watch him perform When a Man Loves a Woman and he will leave no doubt in anyone's mind!!!!
Not to mention stay awhile and anyway u want it
Another awesome song. I hope that you react to their song called "Open Arms".
That song is beautiful.
Another Journey classic. The songs they wrote go to the heart.
Closing my eyes listening to the voice of Steve Perry always makes me so emotional. Incredible power that man holds over my heart 💗
Me 2.
Mine, too.
Dont mind me. Just a girl wishing for this kind of love. This song makes me feel love for someone not yet in my life. Makes me yearn for a simple love. This song is so beautiful. When Steve sings, you LISTEN. his voice takes you to another place, one that can only be felt with the heart.
Steve Perry blessing the ears of human beings forever
Journey is not Journey without Steve Perry!!!
Greg Rolie and Steve Perry were charter members of Santana.
@@thomassanfrancisco5850 Steve was not part of Santana .. Greg Rollie & Neal Schon were in Santana... they recruited Steve when they formed Journey
@@Sportsref13 Thanks for the enlightenment.
@@thomassanfrancisco5850 Rollie is a hell of a good singer, just when he heard Steves voice.. he figured he could give his pipes a rest and Let Steve belt out those amazing notes
I feel the exact same!
Another great reaction video. I have loved this song for over 30 years now. Steve Perry has been called the voice by many legendary artists. 😃
You should react to "why can't this night go on forever " steve perry sings his butt off on this song.
Yes!
"Open Arms" is anther Great Song... Along with Steven Perry's "Oh, Sherry".
Another spot-on and heartfelt reaction! I identify with this song, I’ve had to travel for work and being away from my wife and daughter is soooooo hard. My faithfulness is never in question but man does it hurt to be apart.
Takes me back to simpler days. ❤
Steve Perry, most underated vocalist of all time...that man could stretch!
Steve Perry is the best vocalist of that era for sure…. The “male version of Ann Wilson” lol
Heart "Alone" should definitely be heard.
Steve Perry is one of Rock music's greatest vocalists of all time. Journey is one of my favorite bands ever.
Steve Perry was a master of finding the vocal ping/frequency in his upper registry and revisited it over and over again. Truly an other-worldly gift that few singers have the ability to replicate.
Steve Perry, The Voice
Steve Perry is the best singer of all times he is my crush Journey the band is amazing to I had the pleasure of seeing them in concert I loved loved loved it and I love love love Journey with Steve ❤️✌️❤️💯
This brings me back to school dances such a pure time, pure music. Feel for this generation. What an incredible era
I love this song so much After stone in love it’s my favorite journey song

Thanks for uploading,one off the best bands of the eighties Mick Thailand
The feeling you're experiencing is called Frisson it's the feeling you get when you hear music so beautiful you get a chill or goosebumps
I am a diehard Journey fan. When this song came out, it hit my heart hard because I knew they all “felt” every lyric. Journey was the hardest working, constantly touring band during this time.
When you get teary eyes in the first 20seconds of a song you know it’s a good song!!! Steve Perry’s voice is like no other! GOD LIKE
When you love a woman by journey is a must listen
My daughter was born premature, swallowed some blood, and was in the NICU for about 10 days. This was the first song I sang to her. She was so small, barely 5 lbs, tubes down her throat, IV coming out of her. I was so excited yet so scared.
This was the first song that came to mind
This is one beautiful song, personally no one can top it anymore than Steve Perry
Steve Perry .living legend...

Me too. I hit every one of their concerts in my area of Texas in the 70s and 80s.
@@angelajames7917 Very cool
You should do wheel in the sky or open arms next!! 😍
Don't forget how incredibly talented the band is too...amazing vocals, lyrics, and instrumentals.

This song always makes me anxious. It was always played during slow dances in middle school. A very anxious time

I like the songs that get you dancing, but the ones that make you give that smile are even better. Love your channel and your realness.
This beautiful song was played at my friend's wedding. Someday it may be played at yours Jayy.
Spandau ballet through the barricades is another good ond for your reactions !!!
Brad delp. Steve Perry. And everyone else is a distant third
Freddie Mercury beats them both
This is my all time favorite Journey song. Love Steve Perry’s voice! 🥰🥰
Mine too. He had one helluva voice, didn't he? And tell you what the others weren't slouches either.
My wife's favorite group. Steve Perry one of the great voices of rock. The gentleman who sang with them after Steve retired did a good job filling big shoes.

STEVE PERRY IS ONE OF THE GREATEST SINGERS IN ROCK & ROLL HISTORY
Steve Perry and Journey!! Simply the best!!
If you haven't done so, react to one of their gems: Still They Ride
Yes, I love that song. The 1983 live version from Tokyo is amazing!
Absolutely
Finally!! Someone said it!
It was written by Jonathan Cain, the keyboardist for his then wife. Next try Steve Perry singing Foolish Heart.
I love watching people see what i see in all types of music. Shows we are all connected. One people . You are so right about that voice..
I love this song Steve Perry is amazing, Arnel Pineda is very amazing as well. Journey wow!
Steve Perry's voice is one of a kind, I'm so glad he decided to share his gift with all of us❤
Steve Perry = the goat
The 80' s rock bands and Journey is epic. Love you STEVE PERRY.
Lol you are just so bubblie your energy is just absolutely contagious I love how you enjoy the classic ballads I'm so glad I subscribed ☺️

These songs and this voice is why I'm thankful that music was given to us as a gift from God.
Best lyrics "I get the joy of rediscovering you." Beautiful.
The king of all the 80s "power ballads." LOVE Steve Perry!
Girl Can't Help It is a great Journey song.
Love seeing your emotions as the song unfolds. The emotions that I feel.
Why Cant This Night Go On Forever, is a must!!!!!!!!!!!
Journey. Send Her My Love if you haven't already.

YOU are beautiful and someone WILL sing like that for YOU!!!!!
I have seen Journey twice in concert live here in New Orleans with Steve Perry as the lead singer and was never disappoint
One of the greatest Smokey sounding sopranos you will EVER hear. That slight rasp he has is unmatched.
The best part of the song is Steve Perry's sincere delivery. The best part of the video is when Steve is looking in the mirror, having second thoughts about shaving off his cheesy moustache, lol. Thank goodness he made the right decision! Ha ha. 😁
When a Man Loves a Woman, Send Her My Love are really good! Love Journey!! Saw them in concert in 1980! I'll never forget ,was FANTASTIC 👍♥️
Baby girl. Your expression in your face says it all. The 80's was lid
It’s wonderful too a young person appreciating this wonderful music.
We will never see talent like this again.. this decade was like no other when it came to music.
This is by far my favorite Journey song!! I’m so happy that you were able to listen to this greatness!!
We older folks were so fortunate to grow up with bands like Journey and singers like Steve Perry, I don't hear anyone like it today!
I slow danced with a beautiful young lady at a high school mixer back in 1984. Still remember her name and face. Love being Gen X!
This song always gives me chills. So freaking good. 😭❤️🕯️
Steve Perry and Journey. They absolute recorded some of the finest love ballads of all time.
She makes the faces I make listening to him, I feel it in my sould.
Steve Perry is incredible! Nothing like his voice! Ever!
