As a serious Lou Graham fan, these people absolutely killed this song. The lead singer was spot on and the back up singer was fabulous and the band was just as great . I loved their version.
I grew up with Lou Gramm and Foreigner. Few have earned the right to attempt their material...Danny Lopresto has the credibility and talent to sing this song and not just 'cover' it, but make it his own. Danny is in that Pantheon of talent. HSCC has another hit.
It's amazing that if you close your eyes and just listen to the music, it's like hearing the songs for the first time that HSCC redo. There's not one ,not one song that they have done that is not Spot on. That's why I think people are so quick to say better than Lou or whoever thay cover. Thank God that we have these guys to listen to today.
Lou has one of the greatest and most recognizable voices that has ever graced a microphone. 100 years from now people will still be rocking out to his songs on planet mars, and Danny you did not let him down here, once again the HSCC you delivered the goods in spades
ONCE AGAIN, the man Danny Lopresto can sing anything to perfection, hell even better than original - what a fantastic talent - Pina's backing IS too good great talent too - tight band - love it 👍👍👍
@@robertcuratolo5339 - good response, but I believe pound for pound having followed HSCC online and seen what Danny can sing I'd say Danny is the much better all round singer heck he can sing anything while Lou is purely signature singer - don't get me wrong Lou WAS fantastic singer songwriter in Foreigner which kinda fell apart after his illness
@@danieldistrola2873 - pick any 6 songs from any 6 different bands (exclude Foreigner & solo career) and Danny would kill Lou outright in a singing contest - without any doubt
YEEEEEEEESSSSSSSSSSSSS !!!!!!!! You finally did Midnight Blue. My god that was superb guys. Danny - is there anything that this guy can't sing ? Lou Gramm is one of the best vocalists of the 80's in my view, the nuances in his voice are just next level - this song is massively underrated and not known by many, but its a classic, and you guys proved it. Thankyou so much for doing this amazing cover - I know I've been blabbing on about it for over a year now, but my god - you guys did this incredible song justice. I hope Lou and his family hear this. Fantastic job. Well done.
Greetings from Tennessee. A great cover of another 80s classic. Like a lot of vocalists, Lou Gramm is not easy to cover because of his singing style and how long he can hold a note. Danny held his own and knocked it out of the park.
I was just thinking about how much of a weakling I am compared to that guy haha. My arms would be so sore like 30 seconds in and that percussionist is keeping it up for 4 minutes straight!
@@harryballsacky It's not just men that can do this. In fact I bet Sheila E could achieve it no problem. She's an amazing percussionist! There are a lot of great female percussionists out there.
Holy mackerel!!! I'm 60. I have seen the live performances of the greatest rock stars of the 70s and 80s for the last 45 years. I saw Van Halen when they were an opening act for Black Sabbath. This little band has taken a fantastic song and knocked it out of the park!! Awesome!!!
HSCC and Danny Lopresto never cease to amaze me with all the famous renditions of classic songs you folks play and sing to. Great performance, 2nd to none ! Love it ! ROCK ON !!
So I was at the store today and Lou Graham~Midnight Blue came on and I'm telling you all at the HSCC, y'all spoiled me on your rendition. As soon as I got out of the store I cranked it up on Apple Music. That's how you all have changed a lot of these classics for the better. Keep it up...Ed
“I won’t say where And I don’t know when… But soon there’s gonna come a day, Baby, that I’ll be back, again… Yeah, I’ll be back for you… You see, I’m saving up my love”…❤️❤️❤️
The woman backing Danny has a beautiful voice. Not taking anything away from him at all. She can hit those high notes like Cyndi Lauper. Just discovered these very talented musicians. Glad I did.
Just a killer rendition of this song!!! Hats off to you all for just nailing it on one of my favorite 80's rockers!! Brings me right back to my college days.
Oh man!!! Immediate tingles and shivers… this is one of my all-time favorite songs… and Danny you nailed Lou Gramm’s vocals. Well done HSCC. Absolutely loved it. Now I’ve got to go back and listen again. Just too good. Love you all!
Absolutely brilliant cover of a rock classic, and a wonderful tribute to the legendary Lou Gramm. In my opinion, and in his prime, Lou was the best rock vocalist of his time, and he has always been a fabulous human being.
What can be said about the vocal performances that hasn't already been said, magnificent! But I would like to shout out the percussion section, Brad and Steve are spot on and rock steady!
HOW ELECTRIFYING CAN DANNY AND THE TEAM PRODUCE SUCH A GREAT NUMBER IS A HEAVEN ‘s GIFT FROM YOU GUYS AT YSCC. THANK YOU GUYS . BIG NUMBER .KEEP SAFE. GOD BLESS! From the old guy at 79 who always have the kicks from many of your numbers . Thank You ,again.
Fantastic vocals! Dead on! Not an easy song to sing because of Lou Gramm's very unique phrasing. But, spot on! Great all around performance. Very impressed!
I think I heard the occasional similarity to Lou Gramm's vocals in this one. Even if I'm wrong, it is still great to hear this again after so many years. I'd forgotten about it, so just hearing the beginning of it was a journey back in memory.
Another hidden gem, Lou Gramm's 'Midnight Blue!! Again the HSCC brings new life to a timeless soulful ballad!! Excellent!! Thank you from the east coast of the U.S.!
“And that’s the one”-for sure. You can see it in the performance, everyone nailed it. The emotional intensity really makes this a special cover of a wonderful and under appreciated song. Thank you!
Just takes me back to my HS days. Lou Gramm is simply one of the best vocalists of the 80s. Danny, as always does a great job. Love this song. Thanks for bringing it back.
Con has these musicians dialed in tight. As for Lopresto, he doesn't try to sound like the original artist. Danny sings it from within his own frame. His control, interpretation, range and tone are 2nd to none! With Con leading these musicians and Lopresto up front, there is nothing that HSCC can not cover to the highest standard and sometimes besting the original. 👊🏼😎👍🏼
Woah! No one can do lou gramm but you smashed it Danny! One of my favourite songs. I was bit frightened to click on this one because I know every nook and cranny of this song. You nailed ot vocally! Bravo!
When I saw this band for very first time I said. this is so real.. I love all those songs they can sang.. very nice and very popular.. I think it's so original... Shout out from the Philippines ☺️☺️ God bless you all ☺️☺️☺️
I loved this song when it first came out...remember the girl in the video as she was absolutely stunning, I'm sure she was in Fright Night 2 in the late 80's.

Completely agree!!!
It's Gramm. Short for Grammatico.
Lou Gramm was my neighbor for a few years. Humble man, good soul. Wish him the best.
Gawd, one of my favorite summertime tracks....
Brilliant,lead vocal...Excellent.
I grew up with Lou Gramm and Foreigner. Few have earned the right to attempt their material...Danny Lopresto has the credibility and talent to sing this song and not just 'cover' it, but make it his own. Danny is in that Pantheon of talent. HSCC has another hit.
Well said mate. He's like a vocal chameleon.
What vocals Danny has produced here, amazing rendition.
So in the pocket man!!!!
Absolutely on the money!! I can only imagine Lou being so proud of these folks, as well as flattered. Amazing job everyone!!
Ciao! Benedica!!
Danny has the perfect voice to cover Lou Gramm. The rest of the band is very solid as well. I love watching HSCC. They are all so talented.
It's amazing that if you close your eyes and just listen to the music, it's like hearing the songs for the first time that HSCC redo. There's not one ,not one song that they have done that is not Spot on. That's why I think people are so quick to say better than Lou or whoever thay cover.

WOW!
My favorite LOU GRAMM song and this band played it to a "T" !
WHAT A BAND !
Everyone on that stage played a PERFECT PERFORMANCE 🎤🥁🎸
I’m a huge Foreigner/Lou Gramm fan. I’ve always loved this song. Great job covering it!!!
Foreigner belongs in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.
Definitely
Pfftt. RRHoF have their heads up their patootie.
Great choice. An often overlooked 80s song by a legend.
Totally agree!
Yep, motion seconded!
Ditto
Lou has one of the greatest and most recognizable voices that has ever graced a microphone. 100 years from now people will still be rocking out to his songs on planet mars, and Danny you did not let him down here, once again the HSCC you delivered the goods in spades

I love Lou Gramm .....🤗 but Danny is good substitute.
Danny did a good job but he's no Lou Gramm
@@robertcuratolo5339 - good response, but I believe pound for pound having followed HSCC online and seen what Danny can sing I'd say Danny is the much better all round singer heck he can sing anything while Lou is purely signature singer - don't get me wrong Lou WAS fantastic singer songwriter in Foreigner which kinda fell apart after his illness

That was a spot-on rendition of an excellent song - well done, all!
I've heard it for what feels like 6,000 times. And it's almost too perfect. U d I like it more than the original. Thanks for that.
Greetings from Tennessee.
A great cover of another 80s classic. Like a lot of vocalists, Lou Gramm is not easy to cover because of his singing style and how long he can hold a note. Danny held his own and knocked it out of the park.
Hats off to the percussionist. Keeping those doubles up for 4 minutes straight! 👏🏼👏🏼👌🏼
I was just thinking about how much of a weakling I am compared to that guy haha. My arms would be so sore like 30 seconds in and that percussionist is keeping it up for 4 minutes straight!
IT TAKES A REAL MAN TO KEEP IT UP THAT LONG....4 MINUTES SEEMS LIKE AN ETERNITY
@@harryballsacky It's not just men that can do this. In fact I bet Sheila E could achieve it no problem. She's an amazing percussionist! There are a lot of great female percussionists out there.
And this was probably not the only take.
@@BreannaMae oh boy here comes the femi nazi police....we get it, you guys can do stuff too. FFS
Danny Lopresto always impresses me. His vocal work captures the essence of 80s soul.
Holy mackerel!!! I'm 60. I have seen the live performances of the greatest rock stars of the 70s and 80s for the last 45 years. I saw Van Halen when they were an opening act for Black Sabbath. This little band has taken a fantastic song and knocked it out of the park!! Awesome!!!
Love it. The steady throb of the bass, the snap of the snare and props to the percussionist for doing steady doubles for 4 mins straight! Love it.
freaking A man ! Loved that song in mid 80's, love it now !!! Great cover !!!!!
Danny Lopresto is bloody brilliant mate...
Fair dinkum smashes it... as do all the Hindley Street Country Club.
The Spandau Ballet song True is mega.
HSCC and Danny Lopresto never cease to amaze me with all the famous renditions of classic songs you folks play and sing to. Great performance, 2nd to none ! Love it ! ROCK ON !!
You mad respected this song. Lou himself would be proud.

The lead vocalist really nails those 'High Notes' Great drum groove throughout.
HSCC are a virtual jukebox. 👌

You betcha. 👍
Steve really has a lot to remember on this tune 🤭
Yes indeed,!!!
Great vocals!!
Love you guys,
From Adirondack Mountains, upstate new York, USA!!!!
My favorite Lou Gramm song. Well done by all especially by Danny for the vocals and Pina for those high backups.
HOW ELECTRIFYING CAN DANNY AND THE TEAM PRODUCE SUCH A GREAT NUMBER IS A HEAVEN ‘s GIFT FROM YOU GUYS AT YSCC. THANK YOU GUYS . BIG NUMBER .KEEP SAFE. GOD BLESS! From the old guy at 79 who always have the kicks from many of your numbers . Thank You ,again.
Lou Gramm great rock singer-songwriter 👍
Came up on my feed because I've been practicing the guitar on this one. You guys crushed it.
What a great reminder of how excellent Lou Gramm's rock voice was before his unfortunate health decline. Such a classic 80s rock anthem.
Saw Lou 2 days ago in concert....he was amazing to hear at 72 years old and went 2 hours singing with no breaks
Miss Del Re is all over this one! Perfect fit for the background vocals. Well done one and all.
Pina and Danny on vocals together just delivers the QUALITY every time
3.24 Pina was working hard there great stuff Guys
Wow...perfect. And when covering Lou Gramm, that is really saying something. Fantastic!
The powerful lead singer of Foreigner. Respect. Lou Gramm. Awesome cover. Great choice.
Wow, that was fantastic. One of the best covers of any song I have heard.
I always hit the like button before I listen because I know everything he sings is great!❤
I love Lou Gramm and this song. “Son, life is simple…it’s either cherry red or midnight blue.” Great job everyone!
What a great rendition. The mixing is bang on!
Hell yeh! What a pearler of a song and totally nailed. The guitar riff in this song is where it's at... Cruisy and tough.
One of the best rhythm sections I've ever heard. Magnificent band👍🏽
Seriously?! How are you all able to freakin’ knock these covers out of the park EVERY single time?
Fantastic vocals! Dead on! Not an easy song to sing because of Lou Gramm's very unique phrasing. But, spot on! Great all around performance. Very impressed!
I so wish I could see these guys live!!!
They're sooooo good!!!!!
The harmonies they have are absolutely incredible!!!!!!
I just wish you guys could relax and have some fun... Nothing but smiles goin' on here! I'd love to be in a band as great as you are! Keep it up!
One of the very best songs of the 80s by Mr. Grammatico. Wonderful rendition. Love HSCC!!
I think I heard the occasional similarity to Lou Gramm's vocals in this one. Even if I'm wrong, it is still great to hear this again after so many years. I'd forgotten about it, so just hearing the beginning of it was a journey back in memory.
I wish I could have even half as much fun sitting here doing my job as Brad has sitting there doing his.
Excellent, merci de nous faire partager ces bons moments, toujours un plaisir musical ! 🎸
Damn that was awesome!!!!! Did Lou proud.
Danny and Pina smashed RUclips with their brilliant performance. Two thumbs up... Who wants to join?
That was awesome! I love anything Foreigner related and I love it when Danny belts it out!! Everyone a class act.
Holy ... Smoke 😱😳. You guys are just outstanding! One of my favourite songs ever and you guys just nailed it completely 🥰❤❤
I had to come back to listen to this one again. Dang--so good!!
Danny you just blew this out of the water, as always HSCC has done it again!!! you rocked us out this Thursday!!
Wow . What a sound. Pina and Danny stunning. A great cover song. Do more. We are lucky to have you.
I hope you guys come to the U.S. I live in Florida. This country needs to see your talent.
My favourite Lou Gramm song. I was sitting here singing along with you guys. How awesome are Friday’s 🥰
Nice cover!
Great Job guys!!
What a great rendition! Very nicely performed. Harmonies were awesome along with the instrumentation spot on. I keep watching this over and over.
thank god bands like you exist, bringing back all the absolute classics
Another hidden gem, Lou Gramm's 'Midnight Blue!! Again the HSCC brings new life to a timeless soulful ballad!! Excellent!! Thank you from the east coast of the U.S.!
Danny - you continue to be one of my all time favorite vocalists!
Spot on - and band of course is great as always
“And that’s the one”-for sure. You can see it in the performance, everyone nailed it. The emotional intensity really makes this a special cover of a wonderful and under appreciated song. Thank you!
Talent talent talent, I am grateful that all you good people performing in HSCC share your love of music with all of us, thank you!!!
Brilliant as always. Danny when you get to the US on your tour you are going to become a Superstar.
Just takes me back to my HS days. Lou Gramm is simply one of the best vocalists of the 80s. Danny, as always does a great job. Love this song. Thanks for bringing it back.

Go figure, with Lopresto and Gramm being of Italian descent.
Wow so damn good!! As always. Kudos!! Lou Gramm was/is an amazing singer. You did him justice!!
I'm from Brazil and I loved your band, excellent performance, competent musicians, extraordinary vocals. Anyway, all the best to hear.
I just came across this video, I am with Mike.753. You killed it. This is my favorite Lou Gramm song. Thanks for the cover.
Wow! You all are amazing! Incredibly talented. Your music fills my heart with joy and takes me back to my teen years. 🥰😘💕❤
Once again one of my favorites. Pretty good cover of the amazing Lou Gramm.
Woah! No one can do lou gramm but you smashed it Danny! One of my favourite songs. I was bit frightened to click on this one because I know every nook and cranny of this song. You nailed ot vocally! Bravo!
Unbelievable I don’t usually leave comments but this group sounds just like original. I am impressed !
Thought I was hearing lou, you guys completely rocked this song!!!! 🤘😎
When I saw this band for very first time I said. this is so real.. I love all those songs they can sang.. very nice and very popular.. I think it's so original...
Shout out from the Philippines ☺️☺️
God bless you all ☺️☺️☺️
Sneaking into my record collection, once again. What a groovy guy.
My favorite Foreigner song--well done again--when I grow up I wanna sing like Danny
Just saw Lou Gramm two days ago......he still can put the notes out at 72 years old......you guys sound great!!
So great, I follow the stream of oldie songs, it's always a great performance like this.
This is absolutely incredible. Hard act to follow Lou Gramm. This is amazing. Well done guys! Enjoying from Sydney in late 2022.
You have to be a masterful vocalist to tackle anything from the legend Lou Gramm. Danny delivers as always. Excellent rendition!
Now this song should go straight into the live show 🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸💃🏻💃🏻💃🏻💃🏻💃🏻💃🏻💃🏻
That was awesome!
Those guys got a great band, Everything I've heard is very enjoyable to listen to.
Danny Lopresto is so versatile. What a great job you guys did here.
Excellent! Thanks for taking me back to the 80s.
I loved this song when it first came out...remember the girl in the video as she was absolutely stunning, I'm sure she was in Fright Night 2 in the late 80's.
Danny killed and Pina is the cherry on top of a tasty treat. The band is tight and sound great. All the Best from Cape Cod!
❤ This was an amazing cover. Kudos to this band !!!!
