Sorry for your loss. This and Elton John's "I'm Still Standing" were my my 2 songs of inspiration during my kidney journey from dialysis and through recovery as I had a heart attack following my transplant. I'm still battling. Again, my condolences and hope you're doing well, Sir. 🙏
FAVORITE SONG OF ALL TIME!!! 70 years old, over 350 concerts starting with Jimi Hendrix. The beautiful voice of Lou Gramm. Saw Foreigner 4 times. Great fast rock numbers too.
You and I are just a few years apart and I’ve been to decades of concerts. This is my favorite Foreigner tune but I was a major Journey fan when Steve Perry was with them. Still a fan of Perry, he’s released 2 albums in 2018 and is still quite good, an understatement! Neal Schon is just shy of Carlos Santana and plays the guitar almost as well as Santana.
You can still hear it all if you have Sirius satellite radio. I believe there is one channel devoted solely to 80’s music. It’s where I live most days.
When corporate radio bought out all the independent stations in the 90's, that was the end of awesome playlists. Ever since the transition all you hear are the same Top 50 songs played over and over all day long. Call-in requests are also a thing of the past. It ain't progress!
Next should be either Urgent (Great Saxophone Solo) or Cold as Ice then maybe June Box Hero before another slow one like Waiting for a girl like you (great song but another slow one). They are in the realm of Journey or Boston type music.
recipe for having a good day: watch Jordon and Amber smile, love on each other, and listen to classic rock. Thanks guys - you are probably among the best things the internet has brought to the world.
Lou Gramm has the best male singer voice ever. The feeling he put into each song is unmatched! His voice is so strong to push out those lyrics. Foreigner #1 ❤
This band has so many hits, Urgent, Cold as ice, Hot blooded, That was yesterday just to name a few. Their songs have been used in soooo many occasions, you definitely heard some of them without realising it was them. Check out this one for more heart warming moments, *Waiting for a girl like you*
This song was playing when my son was born... and it hits me in the heart.. almost like my son stating he wanted to know what love is.. and hopefully when he is older and I am gone he will know what love is.
Foreigner was definitely one of the top bands throughout the 80s, they have so many great songs you can literally throw a dart at a list of their songs and you’ll land on a good one
@@marksauck8481 But it's not really what Foreigner was about. Even their drummer Dennis Elliot said "it was a great song but I don't think we should've been the ones who released it". For casual fans Waiting for a Girl Like You and this tune gave the wrong impression that Foreigner was a soft rock band which wasn't accurate at all.
@@hondaphan4172 If people aren't listening to more than two songs before they judge, then it's their loss. Most people realize that rock music comes in a wide range of styles.
Without a doubt, my favorite Foreigner song EVER. It spent 10 weeks at #2. The vocals by Lou Gramm are incredible, and the choir at the end takes the song to a whole other place. Glad you liked it so much.
you mean " Waiting for a Girl like you" spent 10 weeks at number 2 behind Physical from Olivia NewtonJohn !! Now this song " I want to know what love is" was a number one song !!!
I Saw Foreigner At The Oakland Coliseum, In Oakland California Back In 1984, Wherein I Was 22 Years Old, And They Had A Local 40 Member Choir Singing Behind Them On This Amazingly Beautiful Song That Night, And Everyone There Was Singing With Them, And Almost Everyone Had A Light Turned On In Their Hand, Or A Lit, Glowing Lighter In Their Hand, Which Was Swaying Back And Forth That Night During That Song, Which Was Just Amazing To Experience There That Night Back In 1984 . . . Absolutely Amazing . . . :-)
Addendum: Every Time This Amazingly Beautiful Song From Foreigner Came On The Cable Music Station VH1, My Older Brother And I Would Watch It, And Enjoy It . . . '-)
Jordan...as a music instructor, I'm really happy with how you've opened up to new ways of listening to music. All credit to you and your beautiful wife for making it happen!
I just want to state the obvious, the both of you make a beautiful couple. The energy I’m getting from you is so positive and it truly feels authentic. Your channel is very inspirational, it has become a part of my daily nourishment. You may be asking where is all this coming from? I was inspired to say something nice , just to add a little more sun to your day. Thank you for the good work you do here and more importantly thank you for allowing us a peek into your world. God Bless you and your Family 🙏🏽💯
Well said.Couldn`t agree more.for the younger amoungst us ,they`re getting a look at how great music used to be ,and for the (slightly :) older viewers/Rsquad ,we`re getting a trip down memory lane.Wonderful.
OMG..... The best part of this reaction is how she's looking at you when the chorus hits...that is Soo Beautiful!!! Thank you for your reaction. I love this song but your reaction put a lot more to this song! Thank you!!.😂
I love this video. The dude's singing about love and I've always assumed it was strictly romantic love to which he was referring. But watching this video with the African American choir, i start getting vibes about all kinds of love, e.g., love between people in general, regardless of race. The band start shaking hands and singing along with the choir and it really goes to a different level. I'm a metalhead but i also like the softer rock. Great channel and love you guys. Peace!
Sorry if my comments are old, but I'm going thru your reactions and enjoying the heck out of it. I'm 70 and have lived thru most of what your reacting to.....and I love that YOU love it!! Be Blessed!
Jordan, when fast/hard rock passes you by, masterpieces like this will still be there to embrace you. When I was much younger, all I wanted to listen to is Led Zep, Sabbath, Metallica, Judas Priest. These bands are fantastic, and will always dig them, but now that I'm older, I can really appreciate the beauty of lyrics and instruments. Tons of great music still to be heard. Love you guys, keep doing what your doing!!
@Stuart Bloch - Ain't that the truth! LoL. Tastes can change over time, and comically so. I used to tease my dad for listening to his classical music every weekend. What happened? Years later I heard Bach's Brandenburg Concertos and I embraced it onto other composers / singers. Was I ever into Heavy Metal? My bro was, I was into EW&F, even George Benson. Later? I heard Nirvana, loved them, then it took me into Heavy Metal / Industrial / Goth, etc. My bro went to the Blues. Shoot, I used to mock the organ player at the mall who played all those "corny" tunes for the adults. Man, when I was in a record store one time I heard the coolest vibe of music, asked the front desk who it was, and bought my first Juan Esquivel CD. Lounge music now for life! LoL. Be free, don't fight it, just go with the flow of life! ( Like you, I haven't given up on my past bands, but expanded into new territories. Used to hate Country and Reggae, but stepped into those genres as well. )
@@HeatherHolt1313 There's nothing odd about long-lasting love!!! My hubby & I have been together 26 years! Here's to many more years to you & your hubby!
Now we're talking! One of the best male rock voices. Foreigner, in my opinion, doesn't get enough recognition. One hit after another! Thanks for the reaction!
I remember the episode of "Miami Voice" that featured this song. The scene was of a undercover police woman (I think) being murdered. So yes, this song gives me chills too!
I remember back in 1976 when they were just starting out they by chance happen to hit our small town because the vehicle needed some work, so the principal of our high school invited them to jam out for us in our gym and it was freaking awesome, I can still remember hearing Cold as Ice and feels like the first time for the very first time
Hey guys not too many people checking out Foreigner these days, they're one of the great 70's classic rock bands. "Juke Box Hero" and "Starrider" are some other great tracks from them.
@@TheOneAndOnlyFloridaMan for real! I was most excited to see Def Leppard, but I died watching Styx.. every song was like, "oh I love this" and "wow, they are still amazing!".
I was born in '78 so I literally "grew up" my early years thru the 80's - with me being more aware of what the heck was going on around me more towards the latter half of the 80's. The sounds of this song (among many, many others) is one of the ones that always transports me back in time to this period of my life when everything still seemed magical, mystical and the like to me. This is an 80's song - so unmistakable - it is written into its DNA.
The great singer's and songwriters of the 70s would disagree since almost all of the GOOD music in the 80s were the product of bands like Foreigner, Boston, Heart, Journey, the Police, The Cars and hundreds more!
You can't listen to ANY Foreigner song without feeling it. Every song is a different emotion but you feel it deeply. Keep going... it's a great hole to fall into.
This is one song that just tears the heart out of every young man who's had his heart broken by the woman who they truly believed was a soulmate. We feel the emotion in his voice and it hurts.
When they were touring to support this album they auditioned a local choir in each city to sing backup in concert. I saw them perform in Roanoke, VA with a local choir from a Baptist church.
Jordan / Amber - FOREIGNER Playlist: “Double Vision” - “Waiting for a girl Like You” - “Cold as Ice” - “I Want to Know What Love Is” - “ Hot Blooded” - “Feels Like the First Time” - “ Urgent” - “Blue Morning Blue Day” etc.
Definitely one of the greatest male vocalists of modern times. A certain smokey, smooth, sexiness to his voice with a ton of power behind it. Even at his current older age, he sounds stellar. Dude’s definitely in a league of his own. Killer voice!
Foreigner was one of the best ballad bands of the time. Imagine being in an auditorium for one of their concerts, when they do this song. The one time I saw them, the entire auditorium busted out with Lou, during the chorus. 4 - 5 thousand people singing, I wanna know what love is, was beyond unreal.
Y'all are SO cute together! I enjoy watching your interactions as much as I do watching you hear new music!! I got to see them do this in concert, they do indeed put on a fantastic show!! They got a choir or a choral group to perform this behind them in every city they played in!! So it was really awesome for those folks too!!! Lou Graham had one of the best voices & Foreigner was always part of the soundtrack of my life!!!
Hey, Lou Gramm is legit. You're right... he's got some pipes. They've got serious talent in the band as well. Foreigner has a great catalogue and it's nice to see you two checking it out!
I saw this live in the 80s and at the end of every show they had a local collage choir come out and sing this with them. It was magical! For me it was the University of South Carolina choir.
Oh yes, it was a wonderful performance by one of my favorite bands! I was there at the Carolina Coliseum hat night as well. The USC choir was powerful and provided a goose bump ending to that song!
Few years ago I got to see Lou Gramm at a small town fair, he sang all Foreigner songs and a couple of his solo. Was so great, love Lou's vocals, one of the top vocalists in rock.
Just 70s musicians doing what they do best, doing it on into the 80s and 90s. No biggie for 70s veterans. That's what the 70s did to make sure there was at least some great music in that barron waste land.
There are SO MANY songs they sing that you had no idea they sing. I saw them live. Amazing. More songs......Feels Like The First Time, Hot Blooded, I've Been Waiting For a Girl Like You, Urgent, Jukebox Hero, the list keeps going.
all the way from the northern mariana islands again here. Foreigner "i wanna know what love is" has a story to it. Thats why you see the choirs on the music video
I love how the video tells the story of the singers in the choir at their "day jobs".. and how they gather together to perform with the band.. and it runs conqurently with the love story of the girl coming to meet him at the venue and it all builds up!
One of the most underrated bands of all time. Lou Gramm's voice gives me chills! Another snub by Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, I don't get their criteria, must be politics and ignorance!
Pat Gray of Pat Gray Unleashed (see TH-cam uploads of the live program here) constantly brings up his annoyance that Foreigner still isn't in the RRHF.
The best voice in the 70s & 80s . I'm 66 years old and y'all make me "smile " everything I listen to you, you definitely missed the best times of music ever!!!
These guys are AMAZING in concert. I saw them about 6 years ago and was blown away. They had our local high school choir come in stage during the choir part and sing with them. It gave us all goosebumps big time! It was the coolest thing ever!
This was the one and only #1 hit on the Billboard Hot 100 Chart for Foreigner. This would sadly lead to Lou Gramm's departure from the group. Lou had written the song with Mick Jones but it is only credited to Jones as songwriter. As Gramm recalls, "Mick's home was about 15 minutes from mine. I felt like we spent so much time writing and putting the song together, it was magic." When Gramm met Jones to see the percentages that each person contributed, Gramm had put 35% for him; 65% for Jones. Jones said it was more like 95% Jones; 5% Gramm. It pissed Gramm off so much that he said if Jones truly believed he only wrote 5% then he should take it all, which he did & Gramm left the group to pursue a solo career. One fun fact about the choir ... you hear a female's vocal towards the end singing "Let's talk about love" and that vocal is none other than Miss Jennifer Holliday (Dreamgirls fame).
This song came out about 36 years ago. I remember because my boyfriend at that time had called me to turn on the radio as he had called into the radio station to have that song played and dedicated to me. So this beautiful song is etched in my heart. I saw them in concert too in the 1990s.
I am a flat out metal head. And I love this. I love all brilliant ballads. There is genius and soul in all music. Everyone feels different but music pierces your soul properly. No matter what genres
I have always looked at this song as a song to GOD. He can show you how to love. I love this SONG. YOU could listen @ home ,w/ headphones and DON'T STOP IT ,JUST LISTEN. Been a fan since I 1st found you. I'm inserting myself into YOUR family and I feel you would welcome me. LY guys so. Prayers for U 2 & kids. TAKE THEM TO CHURCH. The best thing U could ever do for them
My mom used to request this song every time I drove her to dialysis. So whenever I hear it or play it reminds me of her. Rest in peace mom.♥️
Hugs 🤗
Sorry for your loss. This and Elton John's "I'm Still Standing" were my my 2 songs of inspiration during my kidney journey from dialysis and through recovery as I had a heart attack following my transplant. I'm still battling. Again, my condolences and hope you're doing well, Sir. 🙏

Lovely memories. Sending hugs. 🫂
That’s a wonderful memory ! Sad but bitter sweet ! RIP to your mother . ❤
"Feels Like the First Time," "Double Vision," "Jukebox Hero," "Cold as Ice" all great songs.
All great ones!
Don't forget about "Dirty White Boy" and "Urgent"
YES!!
These! 👆👆👆
All with Lou Gramm only
This was the best time to be young 70's and 80's , I'm glad I was there!
I'm with you Debra!
I agree with you.

More Foreigner: “Waiting for a girl like you”….. I wanna know what love is, GREAT Reaction and band! 🎉🎉
Now, imagine you are just listening to the radio and all these awesome songs just come on randomly. It was heaven.
You can still hear it all if you have Sirius satellite radio. I believe there is one channel devoted solely to 80’s music. It’s where I live most days.
@@taoist32 yeah maybe in some country you can get that station :D not in rest of world sadly ;\
@@NostalgicMem0ries Yeah, not sure if Sirius Satellite radio is global or not.
Hot Blooded was a fun song
When corporate radio bought out all the independent stations in the 90's, that was the end of awesome playlists. Ever since the transition all you hear are the same Top 50 songs played over and over all day long. Call-in requests are also a thing of the past. It ain't progress!
I agree, "Waiting For A Girl Like You" should be your next Foreigner reaction.
That one is my favorite song!! 👍👍✌✌
@@russellnerche8789 It's a tie between that & Hot Blooded for me
Jukebox Hero
Not another slow one next. Waaaaaaaaah.
Next should be either Urgent (Great Saxophone Solo) or Cold as Ice then maybe June Box Hero before another slow one like Waiting for a girl like you (great song but another slow one). They are in the realm of Journey or Boston type music.

One of my favorite songs..the choir make it more incredible
Ya know what…your right it does make a better day see these youngsters watching some real music
@Roland Hearn AGREE 110%. Jordon & Amber NOW Rock!
STILL, @66 COLD CHILLS! One of my FOREVER FAVORITES!!!!!!!!!!!!
So cool to see their appreciation for the early generations music ...
My late husband and I danced to this song as our first dance at our wedding back in 1985. The happiest day in my life!
I'm sorry for your loss but what great times you shared
Sorry for your loss. My wife and I first dance as well in 1993.
Lou Gramm has the best male singer voice ever. The feeling he put into each song is unmatched! His voice is so strong to push out those lyrics. Foreigner #1 ❤
Foreigner songs “head games” “feels like the first time” “cold has ice” “ double vision “ “the damage is done”
Rev on the redline
I listen to their CD with 'Urgent' on repeat whilst playing Tetris. Such energy!💕
Don't forget their song in GTA V: Dirty White Boy.
Fuck 70's
Literally all great hits!!! Journey is a perfect band for the ages
This band has so many hits, Urgent, Cold as ice, Hot blooded, That was yesterday just to name a few. Their songs have been used in soooo many occasions, you definitely heard some of them without realising it was them.
Check out this one for more heart warming moments, *Waiting for a girl like you*
Reminds me of skating.
I heard that song looks like old school
@@mem1701movies me too lol
Foreigner's Lou Gramm has one of the best voices in Rock. Definitely react to Cold As Ice and Jukebox Hero.
So very true but one must admit Kelly does a fine job.
Agreed, he’s in my top 5
This song was playing when my son was born... and it hits me in the heart.. almost like my son stating he wanted to know what love is.. and hopefully when he is older and I am gone he will know what love is.
80's BLISS!
One of the best bands ever. One of the best songs ever!
Foreigner was definitely one of the top bands throughout the 80s, they have so many great songs you can literally throw a dart at a list of their songs and you’ll land on a good one

The one time I saw them, the entire auditorium busted out with Lou, during the chorus. 4 - 5 thousand people singing, I wanna know what love is, was beyond unreal.
Y'all are SO cute together! I enjoy watching your interactions as much as I do watching you hear new music!! I got to see them do this in concert, they do indeed put on a fantastic show!! They got a choir or a choral group to perform this behind them in every city they played in!! So it was really awesome for those folks too!!! Lou Graham had one of the best voices & Foreigner was always part of the soundtrack of my life!!!
Aloha I’m a fan Amber i that side eye look at Rob at beginning of the song love you guys and the family stay in good spirits and best of health peace
Can I just say how much it makes me smile to see the two of you really enjoying a song?
There's a lot to explore. Definitely try "Urgent," "Cold as Ice," and "Jukebox Hero." "Waiting for a Girl Like You" is also a great slow song.
Long, Long Way from Home! And, That Was Yesterday.
Hey, Lou Gramm is legit. You're right... he's got some pipes. They've got serious talent in the band as well. Foreigner has a great catalogue and it's nice to see you two checking it out!
I remember the first time I heard this song on MTV and I was sitting in the living room with my roommate. I've never forgotten that
My man- put a ring on her finger- cant you see she loves you !!
I saw this live in the 80s and at the end of every show they had a local collage choir come out and sing this with them. It was magical! For me it was the University of South Carolina choir.
Oh yes, it was a wonderful performance by one of my favorite bands! I was there at the Carolina Coliseum hat night as well. The USC choir was powerful and provided a goose bump ending to that song!
I was there as well and if I am not mistaken, my old friend Darius Rucker was part of Carolina Alive, the allstar chorus that sang back up.
Few years ago I got to see Lou Gramm at a small town fair, he sang all Foreigner songs and a couple of his solo. Was so great, love Lou's vocals, one of the top vocalists in rock.
This is the band in their sweet spot. They do it better than anybody else.
one of the great songs ever made foreigner thank you so much this songs has got me through hardtimes in my and still one go to songs.
@3:25.....love Jordans reaction. Another one of my all time favs.
This song is so 80's with all of that keyboard. We need to bring more of that back.
There was a full 80s resurgence about ten years ago.
Just 70s musicians doing what they do best, doing it on into the 80s and 90s. No biggie for 70s veterans. That's what the 70s did to make sure there was at least some great music in that barron waste land.
Lead singer Lou Gram survived a fatal brain tumor in the mid 90s. He turned his life over to the Lord for all of his wildness in the 70s.
There are SO MANY songs they sing that you had no idea they sing. I saw them live. Amazing. More songs......Feels Like The First Time, Hot Blooded, I've Been Waiting For a Girl Like You, Urgent, Jukebox Hero, the list keeps going.
Wow such a powerful beautiful song!!
Lou Gramm in his prime was a generational talent as the power and soul in his voice was really something special....LOUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU!!
Foreigner was one of the best! Too many good songs to name!
Lou's one of the best lead singers ever...
One of the best voices. Ever. 💜
They still bring local choirs up for this song on tour. Took my Mom to see them last year.
this song is timeless masterpiece,old but gold
all the way from the northern mariana islands again here. Foreigner "i wanna know what love is" has a story to it. Thats why you see the choirs on the music video
Love this song so much one my all-time favorite songs
I love how the video tells the story of the singers in the choir at their "day jobs".. and how they gather together to perform with the band.. and it runs conqurently with the love story of the girl coming to meet him at the venue and it all builds up!
One of the most underrated bands of all time. Lou Gramm's voice gives me chills! Another snub by Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, I don't get their criteria, must be politics and ignorance!
This was Number 1 in The U.K. Charts.
Pat Gray of Pat Gray Unleashed (see TH-cam uploads of the live program here) constantly brings up his annoyance that Foreigner still isn't in the RRHF.
Absolutely, it feels like everything they did was a hit…
@@tradeladder146 So was Mr Blobby, what's your point?
agreed
Oh this takes me back to my high school days driving the strip on Friday and Saturday nights …… Seen Foreigner many times and hope to see them soon
They are on tour - heard they are coming thru TN.
It’s an all time classic
I love love love the way you leaned into your wife and cuddled into her shoulder. This song makes you want to do that. Great reaction! :)
Lou Gramm was one of rock's greatest vocalists. The entire Foreigner catalogue is worth a listen. You won't be disappointed.
One of my favorite songs in the 80
This song inspires chills! Love it so much 🥰
The best voice in the 70s & 80s . I'm 66 years old and y'all make me "smile " everything I listen to you, you definitely missed the best times of music ever!!!
Beyond considering this group, which has a bizziliion great songs. ....This is a really lovely romance song.
Cheers.
These guys are AMAZING in concert. I saw them about 6 years ago and was blown away. They had our local high school choir come in stage during the choir part and sing with them. It gave us all goosebumps big time! It was the coolest thing ever!
This was the one and only #1 hit on the Billboard Hot 100 Chart for Foreigner. This would sadly lead to Lou Gramm's departure from the group. Lou had written the song with Mick Jones but it is only credited to Jones as songwriter.
As Gramm recalls, "Mick's home was about 15 minutes from mine. I felt like we spent so much time writing and putting the song together, it was magic." When Gramm met Jones to see the percentages that each person contributed, Gramm had put 35% for him; 65% for Jones. Jones said it was more like 95% Jones; 5% Gramm. It pissed Gramm off so much that he said if Jones truly believed he only wrote 5% then he should take it all, which he did & Gramm left the group to pursue a solo career.
One fun fact about the choir ... you hear a female's vocal towards the end singing "Let's talk about love" and that vocal is none other than Miss Jennifer Holliday (Dreamgirls fame).
This took me back to my first breakup in college. The choir is The New Jersey Mass Choir, with Broadway legend Jennifer Holliday.
Love my power ballads, lots out there to listen to
This song came out about 36 years ago. I remember because my boyfriend at that time had called me to turn on the radio as he had called into the radio station to have that song played and dedicated to me. So this beautiful song is etched in my heart. I saw them in concert too in the 1990s.
I am a flat out metal head. And I love this. I love all brilliant ballads. There is genius and soul in all music. Everyone feels different but music pierces your soul properly. No matter what genres
I have always looked at this song as a song to GOD. He can show you how to love. I love this SONG. YOU could listen @ home ,w/ headphones and DON'T STOP IT ,JUST LISTEN. Been a fan since I 1st found you. I'm inserting myself into YOUR family and I feel you would welcome me. LY guys so. Prayers for U 2 & kids. TAKE THEM TO CHURCH. The best thing U could ever do for them
You've been reacting to many of my old 8 track purchases ....Bread , ELO , Foreigner , Moody Blues , etc ....Validating my choice in music ..
Love this song!
You 2 r awesome. The more i analyze this song, the more i realize that it's better than good. But hey, love the painted brick walls. That's hot
I used to listen to this song all the time back in the day and it was always a like a prayer
His voice is one up the best in rock. Still gives me goosebumps.
Another Foreigner song that's on the slow side that Jordan might like would be "Waiting For A Girl Like You"
Damned great tune.
Yes yes let's get this to be the next one!!
🙌❤️
@@davidrichter9164 indeed, it was definitely a staple for slow dancing
I would love to see your reaction to Journey.
"Faithfully" is an excellent track.
Great Band, great vocalist...
I visited the US in 1985 as a 17 year old when this song was hitting the charts. Those are nostalgic years. The US was a great place then.
