This is great to see Lou talk about his life career 💕🎶💕🎶🎵🥰🎸🎼He is such a sweet person that worked hard in the music field.🥰🌹We still 💕Love ❤️ ya Lou 🙏😘
@@neutral6944 They had different "styles" of singing, but Lou was just as good as any of them. Lou has a very distinct voice...and he's such an humble person.
Lou Gramm I love you as a singer & human being. Thank you for being you & sharing your beautiful songs & stories. I was lucky enough to see you perform in Foreigner, Jukebox Hero your at Madison Square Garden w/ Billy Squire opening. I love you Brother.....
All the comments are complaining about the interviewer, yet nobody mentions that Lou seems very relaxed and unusually comfortable and happy with the way the interview is going. Sometimes a less prepared interviewer asks different and less predictable questions and makes it more fun for everyone involved. That's what I am seeing here
Dear Lou! I remember our first "meeting". My father showed me the REAL music. We just sit and listened to many good bands and vocalists. "Inside Information" from "Foreigner"... It was "Say You Will"... His talent to feel and to live in every tune impressed me very much! I only regret that I never met him. But... BE HEALTHY AND HAPPY IN YOUR PRIVATE LIFE! Thank you for your unique combination to fill our hearts, but not only stadiums! Such a wise, humble and handsome human being!
Lou Gramm is an absolute treasure. Forever one of my favorite singers and songwriters of all time. Grateful for interviews like this. Living legend and a class act.
Classic rock is all I listen to! And my truck has Lous' cd Ready or Not in the cd player as we speak! Urgent is a great song, and that sax still gives me chills! It was exactly right for Urgent... WOW! God bless him! I'm so happy he's well and still doing what he does best.
Lou is looking and sounding great!!! I love him so much!!! I hope and pray I get to see him sing live! This interviewer is killin me 😣.. Lou is a legend.. Know your stuff before interviewing a man of this magnitude!!!
The interview is refreshing. Not the usual boring, scripted predictable arse kissing standard American type crap. So it’s a bit cringe at times. So what. At least it’s relaxed conversation. Just because he’s sold millions of records, you can talk to him as a real person without wanking him off and kissing his arse. Btw, the interviewer co- wrote one of the most influential rock albums in history. Is probably responsible for more kids starting bands in the USA and UK than the his guest. Just saying like x
Lou Gramm is a lovely man and he deserves to have the best life. I'm a huge fan and I hope he continues doing well after all the hard times he endured and is happy with his life .

Lou Gramm will always be the Voice of Foreigner they haven't had a hit since he left
Their 2009 album "Can't Slow Down" which was a great album that sounded like a Foreigner album had a mild radio friendly song "Too Late". And I am a fan of Gramm's.
I OH SO LOVE LISTENING TO LOU GRAMM TALK ABOUT FOREIGNER'S HISTORY. I NEVER KNEW SO MUCH WORK WENT INTO MAKING AN ALBUM. I AM TRULY IMPRESSED BY ALL THE DETAILS OF PRODUCING MUSIC THAT LOU EXPLAINS ABOUT. VERY FASCINATING STUFF. MUCH RESPECT. I LOVE LOU GRAMM FOREVER
Loved hearing the story about Jr. Walker's sax solo on URGENT @ 14:03 That is a beautiful story. What a moment in musical history. Thanks Lou. You are an amazing singer, and a great guy. Congrats on a successful comeback!
Bar none hands down one of the most incredible bands ever. It all comes down to songs. And these guys had that in spades. If you can't write great songs, you have nothing. Lou and Mick created some timeless classics that stand the test of time. Bravo Lou!
when he approaches the microphone,he commands,IMO the greatest voice I've ever heard,he can sing anything by anyone,that is what makes him the man,we are lucky to be even alive in his time
Great to see that Lou's in good health and still rockin'. Foreigner may be considered a cheesy 70's formula AOR/Camaro rock band by some people, but they wrote some great songs and he's one of the best rock singers of all time.
Even more so, he's quite classy & polite when he answers the "Did you write I Want To Know What Love Is?" question. - I understand that he did make significant contributions to that song, but in the end Mick screwed him by only getting himself listed as the writer, hence, screwing Lou out of any royalties, etc.
I was in high school when their debut hit. Man was it played to death on radio to the point of please- no more cold as ice! It was avg to me, very commercal. I was more loyal to my handful of metal// hard rock bands. There were so many great bands around in the late 70's /early 80's. Foreigner stuck around awhile as I later appreciated them more. Recall the first Cal jam concert televised? Foreigner looked pretty cool!
1987 - I won a pack of promo 45 singles as a prize in a radio station in my hometown: it was one of the happiest days ever: a promo single with 'Ready or Not' and 'Midnight blue' as B-Side was included!
Jonesy's style of interview is like that of two old musicians at his kitchen table at 2 am just sharing old war stories. He get's so much more out his interviewees with this style, so cool!
The song URGENT: The original sax version was from a man who was playing a local club in NYC. Lou Gram went and listened to the last set . He then asked him to play on this song. He went straight to the recording studio and met the band. The sax player did only 4 takes and said that's it! I'm done. The best was taken from the 4 takes and that is where the sax version of the song came from. Per Lou Gram in his autobiography.
🙌 Lou Gramm & Foreigner 🙌. These guys have brought a lot of joy to a lot of people. The music of the 70s & 80s, guess we thought great music would last forever.
@@terry21651 Kelly Hansen does a pretty good job. Of course he isn't Gramm in his prime, but obviously Lou isn't that anymore either. Foreigner is Mick's band in the end.
Ele não precisa mais está no Foreigner para mostrar que é um bom rouqueiro de rock. Ele precisa saber através de um fonoaudiologo.aonde ele perdeu a sua voz . Média (que é no meu entender é a voz que está no meu entender entre a grave e a aguda ).Ela está bonita mas não é aquela que eu escutei há anos anos trás .Ele conseguia fazer um rasgado superior a dos outros. Fora isso ele deveria deve ter uma nutricionista para cuidar da alimentação dele. E por último procurar um personal Trainer. Ele ia mudar a imagem de hoje para ficar quase igual a imagem de antes .alguém pode da essa dica. Eu estou torcendo para ele voltar a ser um senhor mais charmoso e que está escondido nesse senhor gordinho sexy. Lou Gramm você é meu ídolo ( astro do Rock dos anos 80/90 e até os dias atuais ).Num dos meus comentários eu disse diferente mas eu acho que a jovem disse uma verdade e eu vi que não é bem assim ele deve tentar. .
I feel as though Steve and Lou could've talked for hours based simply upon mutual favorite artists. They connect so beautifully. And the look Lou gave Steve when he mentioned "I Want To Know What Love Is" is hilarious. I'm guessing it's because it was a point of consternation between Mick and Lou, but it just cracks me up.
I love you Lou Gram no singer replace you, your voice is so emotional since I knew you back in New York I was and still addicted to your songs and I'm so excited that you have spiritual faith songs too later God bless you and strengthen your faith
Loved him telling the Junior Walker story. I was at the LA Forum for the Foreigner 4 tour and saw the show he was talking about. Such a great show and great memory.
I was there also, Greg Lake was supposed to open up for Foreigner, but instead the Michael Stanley Band opened up got them, was disappointed with that.
Hard to believe it's been 40+ years since Double Vision was released. I remember rocking out on our Pioneer Supertuner cassette players and 6x9 speakers. Good days.
Saw his last show at Proctors in Schenectady on Saturday night. Stunned by his retirement. He could still bring it. He'll be missed. Thanks for the memories, Lou!
i was excited to come across this..but ..Jonesy...u gotta do some background ...it's like youre doing ur research on air ...im.sure youre well intentioned..but it's somewhat disrespectful . i mean this is Lou Gramm....one of the greatest vocalists of all time
I’d heard of Foreigner. I didn’t know who Lou Gramm is. Thanks to Jonesy, I got a really good appreciation. For me, Lou Gramm presented as a top fella, and they each clearly took a bit of a shine to each other. Lou Gramm even asked at the end if they could do it again!
Soooooooo jazzed that Lou is coming along and regaining his vocal abilities since the brain tumor. Every time I,see him lately every performance gets better and better.
This interviewer didn't do his homework. Lou is very gracious. Lou is a icon & a legend. He was one of the strongest vocalists, frontman, solo artists of the 70's, 80's & 90's. It broke my heart when he left the music & recording scene. I love hearing him speak of his life though. The 5 dogs & Camero... awesome. I would have liked to know how he learned to sing the way he does. Did he take vocal lessons. If he co-wrote Urgent & Waiting For A Girl Like You.
Hi there! Lou took lessons to improve his vocals. It's was the female opera singer from Italy. She could teach him, how to breath right and to work with the whole body. I read this story in one Forum for vocalists.
What an embarrassment this interviewer is? He is in the company of possibly THE GREATEST rock vocalist in history & he doesn’t seem to know much about him. Lou is such an amazingly down to earth person and should have walked out of this interview very early on. Love you Lou and all the best for the future, LEGEND for ever!!!
R G I clicked on this video not only bcuz I love Lou but I also wanted to see just how bad this interviewer is. From what I’ve seen so far it’s living up to what I was told.
*+R G* I understand why you might say that, bro; but think about this: Here you have two members of two of the greatest and most influential bands in rock and roll history, the Sex Pistols and Foreigner. So this is not like Charlie Rose interviewing Bruce Springsteen. I love Foreigner as much as anyone else. I loved, bought, followed and saw them in the Seventies, and Lou Gramm is one of the top 6 or 7 rock vocalists of all time in my book, maybe higher. The Sex Pistols are in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, Foreigner not; I have been commenting all over TH-cam for years on the singular outrage that Foreigner has yet to be inducted. Foreigner's output and musical influence was incredibly prolific through their first four albums compared to most major bands, let alone the Pistols, so it seems unjust at best that the Sex Pistols get to rub elbows with Foreigner at all, let alone beat them into the Hall by two decades, it looks like. But the Sex Pistols, in addition to being a top-tier group in their time, as Foreigner was in theirs, were an international, cultural and musical phenomenon as well, which Foreigner never were, as good and better than the Sex Pistols as they were. And, the Sex Pistols' musical and cultural contribution, aside from their one album (which was itself phenomenal, as was _Foreigner IV_ ), consisted ENTIRELY of their not giving a fuck about people like Margaret Thatcher, and the Queen, and Bill Grundy, and, specifically . . . . . . wait for it . . . . . . Robert Plant . . . . . . . and Freddie Mercury . . . . . . and . . . . . . _Lou Gramm._ That loathing of rock royalty was their greatness, respect it or not, and it served the music industry well, really paving the way for the Rap/Grunge comeuppance that ensued for the better part of two decades. Lou, of all people, knows this. Lou knows that he himself never was a dirty white boy, but knew that Steve Jones and the Pistols were the real thing when they came along - and still are - and Lou wouldn't respect Steve one whit if he had come on as anything else in this interview, including as Rodney the Researcher. Steve gave Lou his plugs. Much more consideration than *_that,_* though, and I promise you, Lou *_would_* have walked out of this interview. _That's_ the way _they_ see it. And that's the way it is.
@@Stratubery I guess this just goes to show you the IQ level of those who gravitate towards punk rock! LOL the interviewer is a lazy idiot in my opinion!
@@Stratubery the rock and roll hall of fame is a bunch of self serving aging hippies who couldnt play a musical instrument if there life depended on it! no wonder why they recognise the limited tallent level of a punk rock band compared to super talented Mick Jones and Lou Gramm!

Agreed. ❤
Definitely!!! ❤❤❤
Lou is a damn nice guy. We need more like him!
What a lovely humble man. And one of the best rock vocalist in history.
Indeed...Operatic rock and roll voice....He simply was amazing!
Nobody could beat Lou in the 80's. Not even Steve Perry could match Lou.
I disagree with u Annette, Steve Perry & Freddie Mercury & others r better than Lou Gramm.
He certainly is a very humble nice guy!! Very impressed with him and how he handles himself! Besides having an incredible distinct voice!!

"Sir Lou gramm" is the key behind Foreigner's big BIG succes. One of the best rock singers of all time. Love you Lou. ..
I don't think Lou Gramm realises how iconic he is.
I think he does, I don’t think mick Jones realized how iconic Lou Gramm is…or, at least didn’t.
@@tryithere The guy asking questions is far worst...
@@jean-philipofarrell5014The host is Steve Jones from the Sex Pistols. He's a peer that Lou respects.
Mm😅@@tryithere
If I’m not mistaken, Foreigner 4 is still the biggest-selling release in Atlantic Records history. Quite an achievement! Hats off , Lou!!
Yeah, except Mick.jones took credit for it. Smh
Much respect and love for Lou Gramm, the only lead singer of Foreigner.
Lou Gramm's lead vocals can never be replaced by anyone ever! Great vocals indeed. Right on Lou. Keep on Rockin buddy.... 👍👌😁
Without question, one of the greatest, most technically skilled vocalists in Rock history! Lou set the bar (very high) for us singers.
yes...seriously under rated. both as a singer and front man. He had the look back in the day.
@@pb12661 Pat, My dream, although highly unlikely, is he decides to teach voice. Hey, no harm in dreaming...lol!
Still no Steve Marriott though...
I disagree with u videoherebob, Steve Perry is the best male singer then Freddie Mercury but Lou Gramm is 1 of the best.
There's a video on TH-cam with Ian Anderson from Jethro Tull in which he states that Lou Gramm is the greatest tenor singer in rock.
Classic rock is all I listen to! And my truck has Lous' cd Ready or Not in the cd player as we speak! Urgent is a great song, and that sax still gives me chills! It was exactly right for Urgent... WOW!
God bless him! I'm so happy he's well and still doing what he does best.

Lou and Steve Perry...greatest vocalists in rock
Optimistic Outreach yes they are.
Optimistic Outreach I would add Ann Wilson.
40 years ago... yes !
This is the greatest truth of the millennium - Lou Gramm and Steve Perry
I disagree with u optimistic, 1. Steve Perry & 2. Freddie Mercury r the best vocalists in rock.
Lou is a Top 5 rock singer, all-time, but he’s the nicest of ‘em all - just a genuinely kind, humble guy who happens to be freakishly good at singing.
Lou Gramm is a lovely man and he deserves to have the best life. I'm a huge fan and I hope he continues doing well after all the hard times he endured and is happy with his life .
Lou Gramm will always be the Voice of Foreigner they haven't had a hit since he left
Neil Schon would never admit it, but the same situation happened with post Perry Journey.

One of the most talented bands in rock history, and somehow- still snubbed by the corrupt HoF. Same with Styx. Utter nonsense.
I adore Lou Gramm, he's the best. The man is a legend!!
Yes he is
The original Juke Box Hero.
Lon Gramm one of the best voices in rock, with incredible range. Also Paul Rogers, and Steve Perry have great voices.
Such a beautiful soul !!!
Beautiful inside and out !!!

Sin duda el mejor cantante de los '80 y para mi siempre sera mi Amor !!! ❤️❤️❤️❤️

The Sex Pistols are in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, Foreigner not; I have been commenting all over TH-cam for years on the singular outrage that Foreigner has yet to be inducted. Foreigner's output and musical influence was incredibly prolific through their first four albums compared to most major bands, let alone the Pistols, so it seems unjust at best that the Sex Pistols get to rub elbows with Foreigner at all, let alone beat them into the Hall by two decades, it looks like.
But the Sex Pistols, in addition to being a top-tier group in their time, as Foreigner was in theirs, were an international, cultural and musical phenomenon as well, which Foreigner never were, as good and better than the Sex Pistols as they were. And, the Sex Pistols' musical and cultural contribution, aside from their one album (which was itself phenomenal, as was _Foreigner IV_ ), consisted ENTIRELY of their not giving a fuck about people like Margaret Thatcher, and the Queen, and Bill Grundy, and, specifically . . . . . . wait for it . . . . . . Robert Plant . . . . . . . and Freddie Mercury . . . . . . and . . . . . . _Lou Gramm._ That loathing of rock royalty was their greatness, respect it or not, and it served the music industry well, really paving the way for the Rap/Grunge comeuppance that ensued for the better part of two decades. Lou, of all people, knows this. Lou knows that he himself never was a dirty white boy, but knew that Steve Jones and the Pistols were the real thing when they came along - and still are - and Lou wouldn't respect Steve one whit if he had come on as anything else in this interview, including as Rodney the Researcher. Steve gave Lou his plugs. Much more consideration than *_that,_* though, and I promise you, Lou *_would_* have walked out of this interview. _That's_ the way _they_ see it. And that's the way it is.
@@Stratubery I guess this just goes to show you the IQ level of those who gravitate towards punk rock! LOL the interviewer is a lazy idiot in my opinion!
@@Stratubery the rock and roll hall of fame is a bunch of self serving aging hippies who couldnt play a musical instrument if there life depended on it! no wonder why they recognise the limited tallent level of a punk rock band compared to super talented Mick Jones and Lou Gramm!
Get up off your knees and quit blowing the guy. He's just some fucking singer.
I love Jonesy so much but sometimes it so awkward it feels like you are watching a Sat Night Live skit
That's why I love his interviews. It's like just some guy off the street who happens to be very funny
Why? Because it's not funny? :)
He’s terrible
Charming conversation.
Wow !! Junior Walker! How cool! Yes!! Steve Marriot !
