Happy Birthday STEVE PERRY January 22, 1949

Happy Birthday STEVE PERRY January 22, 1949


Today, January 22, is Journey's second official Lead Singer, Steve Perry. Steve joined Journey in 1978 and took the band to super-stardom before he stopped to live life.

Here's a great picture of Steve with Journey's original Lead Singer, Gregg Rolie. The songs that feature both their voices take the top spots in my favorite Journey songs. The balance between the two was truly magic...




Playing the Rock Star

Here's a more current picture of Steve...


Will Steve Perry sing at Journey's introduction to the Rock and Roll hall of fame? We can only hope. There are I'm sure a lot of petitions across the Country, There is one at my Local Radio Station here in Los Angeles (link below).

Steve Perry stopped because he didn't want to tour anymore. Journey is a turning band. I'm not sure if trying to force him to appear is a good idea. He'll show up if he wants last minute probably unannounced. To have him sing with the band is asking a lot. He's never lost his voice, but he's also not as practiced as the rest of the band. I will share a link to the petition as a way to let him know how many people want to see him perform again.

Neal Schon says: "I'm hoping that Steve Perry will get up and do something with us. We'll have to see, because nobody has contact with him. I suppose we'll hear something about it a day before or the day of. Who knows?"
