I have just recently started to listen to Journey and Steve Perry’s solo albums after hearing my dad play some of their songs every now and then. My gosh they are incredible! I love love LOVE Perry's voice so much.. I just watched a RUclips video of It’s Over and his voice is absolutely beautiful in it. Even from a teen in the 21st century, Steve Perry is my favorite artist . . . even including his newest album (he still has it!) Thank you for this video, so cool to be listening and seeing someone who has worked with The Voice himself.
There is no greater rock singer than Steve. I have loved him for more than 40 years. And he doesn’t have to make scrunch faces when he sings because he can just sing, it’s effortless.
So true!!!!!!! Plus, as soon as he opens his mouth, you immediately know it’s him!!! His voice is so unique, it’s unmistakable!!!! No One sounds like Steve. No One can come close!!! He is “The Voice”!
@@glo3139 There is not doubt about that. He sang a beautiful to perfection. We had a great time. Thanks for listening I hope you subscribed. Have a great day!
@@ForrestMcD I have subscribed. I’m looking forward to seeing so much more of you and hearing all of your amazing stories. God Bless. Sending Hugs from New Jersey! Xoxo
Steve, you have one of the finest voices I have ever heard. I started listening in the 70s, and I am still listening today. You're still amazing. May God bless you for blessing us with your music.

@@ForrestMcDAlbum; Frontiers, song; I would equally pick two, "Faithfully", and "Send Her My Love"... or maybe three, counting his latest "No Erasin'" for being so late and great in his life...
@@athanasiusdicia117 Thank you for watching and learning a little more about the incredible voice of Mr. Steve Perry. please watch some more stories. Keep on Rocking and Don't Stop Believing. Those are great picks!

@@ForrestMcD I’d have to say my favourite song is Open Arms, but it was a tough choice. Love Escape and Frontiers pretty equally. Just can’t pick a favourite. I have never had the opportunity to see Journey in concert. ☹️ I have never been blessed to meet Steve, but next time I’m in California maybe I’ll run into him. Things are opening up for travel, so who knows? I live in Canada, but I have a sister in Nevada. Steve certainly deserves all the accolades out there and the Kennedy Center Honors is one of them. 👍🤞
@@ForrestMcD Sure I don’t mind. I’m just one of his many fans. It’s not just his fabulous voice, he just seems like a very genuine person in all his interviews. Very well rounded. 😋
Ahoj Alena Filipová Máš naprostou pravdu, je neuvěřitelný. Bylo mi potěšením s ním pracovat a scházet se jako mladí muži ve dvaceti. Děkuji za vaše komentáře a za zhlédnutí videa. Mám ještě pár dalších informací o Steveovi. Asi před 10 lety jsem byl na turné v Praze. Je to krásné město. Přeji krásný týden. Všechno nejlepší, Pro ostatní
Faithfully will still be the definitive song of that era, Steve Perry can do much more with his voice on other songs but Faithfully takes your heart and soul on a journey through life and suddenly nothing else exist except that story, those lyrics, that arrangement and that VOICE
He had just turned 26 I was 25 we had such a good time together. Since I wrote the song I may be bias but I think Steve's vocal on It's Over may be his best recorded performance. Tony Carey complements Steves improv on the piano and made a hook from it. Like many peoples greatest moments we were in the right place at the right time. Thanks for your kind words. Forrest ~

@@whatsup9260 The story deepens - google your search. Steve turns out to be so much more than the owner of such a gift as has never been heard before, but an inspiring, individual as well!! No one can match his talent, and as it turns out, no one has his grace either!
Steve is the greatest rock singer ever. I love the others like Boston, Foreigner and more but Steve is it for me. How he can hit those notes in the 6th octave with ease is beyond me. Sliding from chest voice to falsetto and back down in perfect pitch is mind boggling. I'm still in love with you Steve and your beautiful voice.
Steve Perry and the band Journey coined the phrase, "Power Ballads"💖 His range as a male vocalist was truly unparalleled, hence his iconic status in the music industry✌

I fully agree. He is the benchmark that everyone wants to be like. I've seen Journey a few times and he always was in rare form. Absolutely love his voice. No one comes close.

He has always been the love of my life, I told my husband if Steve Perry ever came to our door, that I was leaving him for Steve. His voice is unexplainable, its in my soul. I feel his emotions when he sings. He's always my love.
I completely understand he has the golden voice. I am glad you enjoyed his performance on my song. I hope you will subscribe. Emotion exudes from his voice. Thanks for watching. Best wishes, Forrest
Iva, it's so funny that you say that about leaving with Steve if he ever came to you. I've had two husbands who have had to agree to this, also. I've been in love with Steve since I was 17 years old in 1978. I was able to meet him in 1983 and he was so sweet and I wanted to marry him. Well, that didn't work out. My husband says to his golfing buddies that if the 3 of us (hubby, Steve and I) were in a room, that I would totally forget about him and do naughty things to Steve right in front of his face. Hate to say it, he's right. Have a great evening!
@Herr Büchner It's every emotion, except anger, that I've ever had combined into one crazy experience. Lust might be one of the most important ones. Not gonna deny it.
What a beautiful song. Steve's voice has always been phenomenal, his beauty shows in and out. Loved that long perfect hair. I believe Steve is and always has been one of the kindest people on the planet. You can hear it, but more, you can see it.
I AGREE...EVERY time you hear his voice you fall in love with him over and over again. And his videos will take you away to another realm.. It's in his eyes...the way his hands move to the emotion he is feeling.... Most romantic 3 minutes you will experience..❤
Steve Perry is really a special star who shines bright in our lives. Listening to his music moves me to feel so many beautiful feelings. He sings from his heart and soul and his music touches our heart and soul.

Absolutely incredible talent. It truly blows me away that one person can hold this level of vocal mastery. My parents- born in ‘73 and ‘74-grew up with Journey/Steve Perry (according to my mom, my grandpa would listen to Oh Sherrie all the time and would play along with his guitar). Luckily for me, as a result of their love for the music of their youth, I was also “Raised on ‘80s,” despite being born in 1998. I listened to Journey/Steve passively throughout my childhood and I knew a lot of their music, but I didn’t really *know* them. How I ended up falling in love with Journey’s sound is a long, but funny story that I won’t tell here-but Steve Perry’s voice IMMEDIATELY held me captive. I love to sing with all of my heart, so the inhuman vocal gymnastics he was able to perform while maintaining an incredible, rich sound (while running around the stage, no less) has me enraptured any time I listen to any of his music (which is often!). I am gobsmacked over and over at the ease with which he sings-especially when I listen to one of his pretty much flawless live performance. Whenever I blast S.P.’s music in my car and really engulf myself in his sound, I get the chills. I don’t think any of us will see another vocalist that is gifted with the same level of raw, unadulterated talent as Steve Perry in our lifetime. I wasn’t alive yet to see him perform in person, so I am grateful for the advent of the internet age, which has made watching and listening to the recordings taken at Journey/S.P. performances way back when-before I was even a thought-as simple as tapping my phone’s touch screen. I look forward to listening to whatever Steve puts out in the future! As my fellow millennial/Gen-Z-ers would say: I will “Stan” Steve Perry and his talent ‘till the end :) Thank you for sharing these awesome stories!! Your storytelling took me back to a time I never experienced myself. What a special time to be alive. Much simpler. A lot more heart :)
Hi Haleyes, thank you for your love of the music, your undying support, and your great comment. It was a magical time to be alive and I am blessed to be able to share my stories with fans of the many artists I have worked with. By far Steve is the most gifted vocalist I ever saw life and to record with him was just a treasure I will hold near and dear to my heart always. I appreciate your support and kind words, have a great week, and don't stop believing my friend. 🎹🎶🎵🎼
Wow Haleyes, your post is not only very well written but describes most of us out here better than anything I've read over the years! "Raw, unadulterated talent, gobsmacked" - got me! So true! For years I've tried to use words to describe his talent but how do you describe vocals that are, An Inch from Impossible? If you haven't, Google Steve's very early, sit in doing the blues! This guy can do it all! We're blessed it's all still available so your generation can marvel too!
@@pamlatham7032 Are you referring to songs like, "Get Your Face Outta Here' where a very young boy foolishly was cracking his voice like a whip, or the very soulful "Summertime"? Or something different? I loved that 1978 PBS special where he got to sing with Albert King.
Without a doubt, Steve is an enormous musical talent and an unsurpassed voice, but above all, as you say, he sings with a lot of emotion and feeling and that makes him an artist who touches the hearts of his audience, ...that's why he is so loved and admired (and now fortunately being discovered by younger generations). Thank you for sharing your anecdotes and this charming recording. Already subscribed… 😉

Hi Forrest, that was one of the most incredible storytelling I’ve ever heard. I hung off every word you said. Steve sounds Epic and along with your guitar 🎸 playing put me in an altered state. Thank you for sharing your fabulous experiences from your career. Can’t even imagine being in a room with such talent as you and THE VOICE, but would certainly try. Take care Forrest. 🎸🎶🎸. All the best!!!
I saw Steve Perry and Journey sing live in Philadelphia in 1983. I was 19 years old. No words, only feeling can describe that love and extreme joy I felt as the sound of Steve's voice and his rocker group's guitars were coming out of those speakers into the air all around for miles! ❤️ You never forget it! And what girl didn't seriously think she might have a chance of Steve loving her if she could meet him face to face on that stage! 🤗☺️ ( I knew I was close enough in age that he "might" choose me. )☺️🌹 Oh well..... Hahaha, a girl can dream ... 😉💑
Hi Susan thank you for your wonderful comment. First you were at the perfect age to be struck by the Voice thunderbolt. There is nothing wrong with dreaming and he really appreciates the love of his fans. You never know when he may check in and read the comments so keep on listening and Don't Stop Believing. 🎸🤗🎵🎹🎼🎶

Had the joy of hearing Steve sing live with Journey on three separate occasions. He exceeded the recorded versions of the songs on every show. No other live artist of the day did this…no one.

I was unable to go to any of his concerts. I was a young mom with two babies at the time he was performing. Thank you for doing this honoring of Steve. I personally believe his talent and gift is highly underrated.
I am with you there. I spent about 6 years writing it all down the best I can remember. Now that I have the right camera I am in high gear trying to do as many as possible and hope that people like them and my music, ;-)

There have been quite a few replacements for Steve Perry on Journey, although very good singers that can't never be equal to Steve. That is why anytime you hear Journey on the radio the vocals are always of the incredible mister Perry.

Thank you for your kind words. As a songwriter you know what it should sound like vocally. When you give the song to someone who possesses Steve's ability it takes the song to the next level. He made it his the way he expressed the lyrics with such range vibrato and tenderness, How did you find out out the story? Forrest ~
@@ForrestMcD what year was this recorded? This early in his career to have such control of his voice is just amazing. I heard Journey when they were touring for their 1st album and a couple times since and they were the only band I've heard that sounded as good live as they did in the studio.

Paula, I am so glad you love it. Imagine being in a chair 4 feet from Steve listening to take after take. I am glad he is such a perfectionist. We settled on 26th take or there about.

Hi, Crystal you know Steve Loved Sam Cook's voice and On this ballad, he really expressed his heart. It's a good thing we are friends and I have this treasure. He wrote on my lyric sheet Hitsville USA. We hoped to get a deal and tour but the Journey opportunity came along and he was on his way. Thanks for watching and subscribing I have another one coming out next weekend. Have a great week and thank you for your support.

I started listening to Journey in the 70’s with my mom when I was around 7 years of age and I love the original journey still to this day . In my 20’s in the 90’s everyone tripped that I would put journey on right after something like Alice N Chains . They just never understand the power of Mr Steven Perry 😁

Thank you Forrest…would love to meet the two of you…😃 Work at Rivers Casino and if Michael Bolton or Jeffrey Osborn perform one more time I’m going to spontaneously combust…Please help us out!!!!
@@ForrestMcD Have been listening to Steve Perry since the 80’s and now that I’m supposed to be retired, I’ve never worked so hard. Work in Pediatric Hospice and Steve Perry has the voice to completely make everything beautiful!!! I spent 26 years as a Chicago first responder now working just as hard after retirement. Ugghhh.Thankfully his music, voice, smile and beautiful eyes live on. Thank You
@@nancylong3933 Nancy you have a good heart and soul. Your words tell me this. Thank you for your service and for letting the music into your heart.

Tony Carey complements Steves improv on the piano and made a hook from it. Like many peoples greatest moments we were in the right place at the right time. Thanks for your kind words. Forrest ~

It's so interesting hearing about the shake-ups and joining of the different musicians. How they met, and jammed together, and the different influences. And after being part of exquisite line of work, Forrest Howie McDonald picks Steve Perry as the best singer he had ever worked with. Wow!

Hello, Mr Forrest. I've been a fan since I was fascinated by Steve Perry's singing voice, who came to Japan 42 years ago. I'm not an English-speaking person. I don't usually understand someone's speaking English in the video, but your pronunciation is clear and easy to understand. Apart from the details, I understood most of it. I'm glad that you shared a very interesting story and a wonderful and valuable sound source. Thank you very much indeed. Noriko from JAPAN

@@ForrestMcD wow! Pick a favorite song! Hum? That's like asking which one of my children are my favorite! 😆. "Girl can't help it" is one that comes to mind right now! I even have my grandchildren interested in Steve & the old Journey! As for favorite album? Hum... Infinity, Raised on Radio and Traces. I've never met Steve or seem him in concert sadly! But I've been in love with his vocals/ range for years even now. Oh hell, him too! 😆 I love how he harmonizes with the music during the guitar solos etc. Amazing range! I don't know anyone who can not resist singing along, tapping their toes or their fingers to any Steve Perry song! It's like a happy pill only in words! 😆 🤣 😂
Steve's song have been with since young love days, got me through a very horribly violent marriage only to start a new until a recent life changing diagnoses and still his music carries me on! He deserves the Kennedy life time achievement honor most definitely because I'm sure that I'm not the only one who's leaned on his music to simply survive and to resurrected again to carry on!
Thank you for watching. He is a once in a life-time gift to music! Thank you for watching. Have you watched Steve Perry and Forrest McDonald record Dreams Reality Hollywood 1976
❤❤❤❤❤VERY Nice jam Cuz! Forrest on guitar (greatest guitarist)! Steve on vocals (greatest singer)! Tell Steve he needs to come down to the RVA!!! 💯🙏🎸😎❤

Hi Sarah it is my pleasure. I have one or two videos where I plugged him for the Kennedy Center Honors and one on Steve Perry scammers. I get asked your question a lot. Let me say Steve is very Private he knows and appreciates the millions of fans he has and is grateful for everyone one of them. Many of his fans have very impactful stories and ask if I can share them with him. Unfortunately, it would just overwhelm him. At this time he still loves his music and his privacy. Thanks for much for watching. Have you been approached by any of his impersonators in Instagram? I sure hope not. Have a great evening. ~ Forrest 🎸🎤🎵🎹🎶
Beautiful! Thank you for the memories. I've returned to the era of great music out of sheer desperation. Loved Steve Perry for years but appreciate him more and enjoy watching the new generation discovering what we had. Never heard this song before, hope it gets the play time it deserves.
Sharon, it is my pleasure and I thank you for listening. I am glad you enjoyed the story. I have many of them. It was a magical session and the song stands the test of time. I hope you subscribe for more behind the scenes stories. Have a great day!

So beautiful!! Steve Perry is my all time favorite singer. Has been for over 40 years. His voice is like whiskey and velvet. Hearing him on late night radio got me through a lot of rough stuff. Thanks for sharing.
Hi Leslie I couldn't agree more! He is so great. Back in 1975 when we records the two songs I wrote he was in his prime and still sounds great today. Thanks for listening I hope you subscribed so when I do a follow up on the other song we recorded you can be notified. Have a wonderful week. Best wishes Forrest ~

@@ForrestMcD Hello. I can’t really say I have a favorite song. I love them all. His solo stuff and with Journey. My favorite album (with Journey) is Infinity but closely followed by Evolution and Departure. My favorite solo album by him would have to be Street Talk. Just classic Steve. I never had the privilege to see a live show or meet him in person. Sure would have been awesome. I had a terrible childhood and softly listening to the radio late at night was something that “took me away” and the first time I heard his voice come on was something different to me. I’m sure it was Wheel In The Sky and from then on I couldn’t wait to hear him again. I don’t know what it was. I think (for me anyway) he sounded like he was hurt too but it sure helped me. It would be wonderful if he could be acknowledged for his singing and songwriting with such a prestigious honor. He is unique. Thank you.

HI Margot thank you for your kind words. It was a thrill working with Steve. I hope you share the video with your friends. Have a wonderful day and Don't stop Believing. 🎸🎤🎶
Love the songs you recorded with him !!! They are great songs! Wish there was even more recordings you could release with him on it ! Thanks for the gold
Saw you were asking questions about Steve so I will answer them here. I first heard his voice when his live Houston video was from 81 was on the tv I was probably 14 years old or something this was in 2006. And I couldn’t believe what I was hearing , I’ve never heard anything like his voice before, I remember even specifically the way he said boulevard in don’t stop believing was so special to me it made me feel a certain way , very bizarre to explain hah! I love how smooth his voice is , my favorite recording of all time is the live 1980 Japan captured recording of lights/stay awhile. I know lots of his greatest moments that have been recorded , lots of the rare live stuff , his vocal solos at the end of patiently where he vamps over a single chord, absolutely beautiful and I think has shaped the way I sing and even solo on my instrument. I’ve never had the pleasure of meeting him but I know a handful of people who grew up in that era that ran into him musically here and then that perform now in the tribute scene etc. My top three Steve songs I think a lot of people sleep on “keep on running” awesome tune and vocally stunning. Would love to answer any further questions you have!
Cody that is so nice of you to say. You can do me a solid if you watch as many of my videos as possible. Thanks for your kind words, Take care brother!
Hello! Just scrolling on a snowy night and came across this. People have described their feelings about Steve and his music in so many ways. I have to agree with every single one. My own-he touched my soul from his. Even back in ‘81 at the Escape Tour concert, I held back tears at the sound of his voice. Listening to Traces tonight, I feel the same way. Technical voice teaches love to dissect it and put it into a category. I know better. It’s a window to another mystical world that he lets us into.
Denise I am so glad you enjoyed it. It was a great experience going through the process. Steve's vocal on It's Over is probably one of the best I have heard.
@@ForrestMcD I agree. I mean he's always had the most incredibly beautiful voice. And his knowledge of everything is off the hook. I'm glad you had such a beautiful experience with him. Maybe something in the future will come up again. Blessings.
Meu Deus que música é essa?? Que voz linda do meu Steve Perry... Toda música que ele canta fica linda... Voz de anjo, ele faz qualquer tom.. Incrível demais. Te amo muito Steve Perry 💜💜💜🤍🤍🤍
Thank you, sir. He’s technically perfect, however heart and soul cannot be learned, bought, etc. and that is what set him apart and made him the very unique and untouchable talent he is. Thanks again and many blessings to you. I liked, subscribed and notifications on. ♥️

@@ForrestMcD Good evening..there are so many wonderful songs, but I would have to choose Send Her My love from the Frontiers album. My favorite album is Raised on Radio. Unfortunately, I never got the chance to see the band live and I never had the privilege to have met him. That would have been a wonderful opportunity!
Forrest McDonald thank you so much for sharing this very enjoyable and very interesting upload. Steve ''The Voice'' Perry still has the most emotive singing voice that I've ever heard! ❤️

@@ForrestMcD Unfortunately I live in New Zealand not in the U.S.A! My equal #1 most favourite true Journey songs with Steve ''The Voice'' Perry are Faithfully and Who's Crying Now! One of my many favourite solo songs of his is Missing You because whenever I listen to him singing it, I think of my Dad, who unfortunately has passed away! I have nominated the most emotive singer that I've ever heard, many times, to receive a much-deserved Kennedy Centre Honor and I will continue to do so! I will never stop believing in him!
@@eljay345 Lisa I had no idea you were Down Under. 😄 Who's Crying Now still grabs me. I will never stop believing awesome comments thank you for all your great support.
I just love hearing this, Steve Perry seems like a really nice man, and you confirmed it even more, when you have a voice like his you want to just hear him, all day long. Thank you for sharing your stories, this is way cool, how many people can you say, you smoke a duby with john Lennon,

@@ForrestMcD You're very welcome, but I want to thank you for sharing your story. I enjoyed you so much that I subscribed to your channel. I know Steve can sing in different range but I never heard him sing this way before and so glad I got to hear this. 💖
@@Holly707 Thank you Susan that means a lot. At that point in our careers we had some success but nothing like what was coming. This is kind of R&B Steve and should have been a hit!
Great video. Steve perry has been my favorite singer since the second I heard him on the infinity album. But I wasn’t exactly sure that he could pull it off live and then our band went down to Salt Lake when they were playing down there. I think it was in 79 for the evolution Album he was backstage he was strumming a bass sitting on a stool with a cuppa tea teabag hanging out of the cup. I just stood there listening to him in disbelief. I could not believe what I was hearing. He introduced himself we all knew who he was. He was super cool. We talked for a few minutes. He strummed some notes, sang warming up for the show. we left and I was so blown away. I still listen to him every day. I truly believe he’s one in a lifetime.
Razor, I had the same reaction when he invited me to his moms house to Jam in late 1975. He was playing drums and singing and I was playing guitar. We played a bunch of covers then I played 12 of my songs. As I was hearing him sing each song I was saying to myself. Man this guys is good, he is really good, wow this guy is great. The other day one of his fans wrote and said my song It's Over that Steve sang 27 takes on is her favorite song. I am glad you got to experience his great range and personality in person. Thank you for your kind words. Peace love and music. ~ Forrest

@@ForrestMcD Right now, I have Journey's Greatest Hits. When I was young, I had Escape. I loved Don't Stop Believing and Who's Crying Now as a kid, and still do. They just don't get old for me. But it's like all the songs I like with Steve Perry as front man, are my favorite. It's just a great rock-n-soul sound. Lights, Separate Ways, Faithfully, Any Way You Want It,....etc, they're all awesome. Unfortunately, I have never been to a concert of his/Journey's. I don't do well with crowds, bad nerves ¯\_(ツ)_/¯. I've never met him either. He has "it", simply classic, unique, and timeless.

Hi Forrest, thanks so very much 🙏🏽 I love my autographed CD: “I Need You” already loved “It’s Over” featuring Steve Perry, and I’m enjoying the entire CD! Thanks for all the music, and all the stories!! All the best always, Pat!!
@@ForrestMcD Wow, I really like those two, as well as ‘That’s How I Want Our Love’! And, it absolutely goes without saying: I think you will find much interest in anything Steve Perry! So much is about his obvious talent, but also, for me, simply the story of music, life, love, and loss! Really appreciate your response and the opportunity to chat! All the best, always! Pat Williams, PhD, PHR “Where there’s life, there’s hope.”
@@plaquinn Hi Pat, the story of music, life, love, and loss that is a perfect summary. An executive from Arista once said I hear That's How I want out Love, and I Need you as hits. He wanted 3 to sign me. I thought what about It's Over? Perhaps since Steve already did it he could not consider it one of the three. Nevertheless that's a little more behind the story for you. The song is so beautiful and I don't think it could ever be topped. You are a smart woman! Keep up the great listening. ;-)
@@ForrestMcD Thanks 🙏🏽 so much, and you as well! BTW, you’re ‘spot on’ because ‘It’s Over’ is truly a thing of beautiful; it literally catches you by surprise and makes you replay the song: I was jogging and it came on amongst literally hundreds of great songs, and I remember thinking: wait what’s that and what did he say….let me hear that again; for some reason it reaches the very core of the soul! Many continued blessings to you, and keep making beautiful music! Oh, my apologies for going on & on here 😊
@@annisawestcott I gave him a shot here and it turned out great. I totally agree that he can do both. Thank you for your comment. Did you know he loves R&B?
@@ForrestMcD I did know that! I've heard his story about hearing Sam Cooke on the radio of his mother's car. I've really been loving his album Traces and how he's worked in some R&B grooves. Easy to Love is great, as is his reimagining of I Need You.
@@annisawestcott thank you very much. It’s very pretty. That’s the title of my first solo CD that it’s over and hold onto your dreams are also on you’re awesome. Have a great night.
Steve will always be the absolute best singer out there. I LOVE this song, already downloaded it from itunes. I recognize the line 'after the lovin', after the evenin'...that's the opening line from Tuesday Heartache, from FTLSM, one of my favorite of his tunes.
Thank you Deb, I am flattered he used my lyrics in the opening from FTLSM. I appreciate your kind words and support. I hope you subscribe for more great stories. Have a super weekend. Forrest ~

I have just recently started to listen to Journey and Steve Perry’s solo albums after hearing my dad play some of their songs every now and then. My gosh they are incredible! I love love LOVE Perry's voice so much.. I just watched a RUclips video of It’s Over and his voice is absolutely beautiful in it. Even from a teen in the 21st century, Steve Perry is my favorite artist . . . even including his newest album (he still has it!) Thank you for this video, so cool to be listening and seeing someone who has worked with The Voice himself.
Thank you for your kind words and for listening . It was a great experience. I think it is one of his best recorded performances.
I had the pleasure of seeing Steve perform on 3 occasions. He’s the only live artist who exceeded his studio versions.
@@janebeatty9472 That had to be a thrill each concert.
@@ForrestMcD Certainly was!!
I’m 15 and I completely agree. He can’t be beat.
There is no greater rock singer than Steve. I have loved him for more than 40 years. And he doesn’t have to make scrunch faces when he sings because he can just sing, it’s effortless.
He is the greatest! Thank you for watching I have some others about Steve. Have a great day - Forrest
You know why Steve has such devoted fans? Because every time you hear his voice you fall in love with him all over again.

What is your favorite song that Steve sings? What is your favorite Album? Did you ever see the band live if so what concerts and which one was the best? Finally, did you ever meet Steve? If you did, can you describe the experience and how it came about? I am collecting stories from Steve’s fans to help us all come together in a music moments video of fan stories. Thank you for your participation. We would like to get Steve recognized by the Kennedy Center Honors and if we all pull together, we can do this. Don’t Stop Believing. Thank you. ~ Forrest
@@ForrestMcD I’d have to say my favourite song is Open Arms, but it was a tough choice.
Love Escape and Frontiers pretty equally. Just can’t pick a favourite.
I have never had the opportunity to see Journey in concert. ☹️
I have never been blessed to meet Steve, but next time I’m in California maybe I’ll run into him. Things are opening up for travel, so who knows? I live in Canada, but I have a sister in Nevada. Steve certainly deserves all the accolades out there and the Kennedy Center Honors is one of them. 👍🤞
@@merrillromana8922 I love your comment would you mind if I use some of it in a future video I am going to make for Steve from his fans?
@@ForrestMcD Sure I don’t mind. I’m just one of his many fans. It’s not just his fabulous voice, he just seems like a very genuine person in all his interviews. Very well rounded. 😋
My favorite songs by Journey/Steve Perry is oh Sherry and don't stop believing. Heck I pretty much like them all.💜
Jeho hlas je opravdu nevysvetlitelny, způsobuje takové emoce na duši, jako žádný jiný. Proto ho musíte milovat, jinak to nejde ❤❤❤
Ahoj Alena Filipová
Máš naprostou pravdu, je neuvěřitelný. Bylo mi potěšením s ním pracovat a scházet se jako mladí muži ve dvaceti. Děkuji za vaše komentáře a za zhlédnutí videa. Mám ještě pár dalších informací o Steveovi. Asi před 10 lety jsem byl na turné v Praze. Je to krásné město. Přeji krásný týden.
Všechno nejlepší,
Pro ostatní
Faithfully will still be the definitive song of that era, Steve Perry can do much more with his voice on other songs but Faithfully takes your heart and soul on a journey through life and suddenly nothing else exist except that story, those lyrics, that arrangement and that VOICE
Yesh, thank you for watching and for your great comment. 🎸🎵🎹🎼🎶 What was your biggest takeaway from the video?
Steve was and ALWAYS will be..THE VOICE...great music
He had just turned 26 I was 25 we had such a good time together. Since I wrote the song I may be bias but I think Steve's vocal on It's Over may be his best recorded performance. Tony Carey complements Steves improv on the piano and made a hook from it. Like many peoples greatest moments we were in the right place at the right time. Thanks for your kind words. Forrest ~
@@ForrestMcD i heard he did not follow the band as his spouse was sick, cancer or something.
is this correct ?

@@whatsup9260 The story deepens - google your search. Steve turns out to be so much more than the owner of such a gift as has never been heard before, but an inspiring, individual as well!!
No one can match his talent, and as it turns out, no one has his grace either!
Steve is the greatest rock singer ever. I love the others like Boston, Foreigner and more but Steve is it for me. How he can hit those notes in the 6th octave with ease is beyond me. Sliding from chest voice to falsetto and back down in perfect pitch is mind boggling. I'm still in love with you Steve and your beautiful voice.
Well stated. 💙🎶🎸💙🎸 ❤🎸
Been Listening to STEVEs Music Sense Early 70's ❤
In his prime bravo! Thanks for checking this one out. 👏💙🤗🎸🎉😎
Steve Perry and the band Journey coined the phrase, "Power Ballads"💖
His range as a male vocalist was truly unparalleled, hence his iconic status in the music industry✌
This Ballad was one year Pre-Journey and Steve was absolutely perfect on the recording. It was such a great experience.

Steve Perry number ONE
Absolutely! Thank you for watching.
He has always been the love of my life, I told my husband if Steve Perry ever came to our door, that I was leaving him for Steve. His voice is unexplainable, its in my soul. I feel his emotions when he sings. He's always my love.
I completely understand he has the golden voice. I am glad you enjoyed his performance on my song. I hope you will subscribe. Emotion exudes from his voice. Thanks for watching. Best wishes, Forrest
Iva, it's so funny that you say that about leaving with Steve if he ever came to you. I've had two husbands who have had to agree to this, also. I've been in love with Steve since I was 17 years old in 1978. I was able to meet him in 1983 and he was so sweet and I wanted to marry him. Well, that didn't work out. My husband says to his golfing buddies that if the 3 of us (hubby, Steve and I) were in a room, that I would totally forget about him and do naughty things to Steve right in front of his face. Hate to say it, he's right. Have a great evening!
Edie Carter great minds think alike 😁
@Herr Büchner It's every emotion, except anger, that I've ever had combined into one crazy experience. Lust might be one of the most important ones. Not gonna deny it.
Herr Buchner, you don't know me. That's your opinion, I'm 52 I know my feelings. You must be a bot!
What a beautiful song. Steve's voice has always been phenomenal, his beauty shows in and out. Loved that long perfect hair. I believe Steve is and always has been one of the kindest people on the planet. You can hear it, but more, you can see it.
Kathy thank you for your support. Please check out my other videos with Steve. Have a great day! Forrest
I AGREE...EVERY time you hear his voice you fall in love with him over and over again.
And his videos will take you away to another realm..
It's in his eyes...the way his hands move to the emotion he is feeling....
Most romantic 3 minutes you will experience..❤
Virginia thank you very much for your kind words and support. Best wishes Forrest ~ 🎤🎸🎹🎶🎵🎼
I absolutely agree with this comment!
Steve Perry is really a special star who shines bright in our lives. Listening to his music moves me to feel so many beautiful feelings. He sings from his heart and soul and his music touches our heart and soul.

Steve Perry is the Best!!! ❤❤❤❤❤
He is totally awesome thank you for watching!
Absolutely incredible talent. It truly blows me away that one person can hold this level of vocal mastery. My parents- born in ‘73 and ‘74-grew up with Journey/Steve Perry (according to my mom, my grandpa would listen to Oh Sherrie all the time and would play along with his guitar). Luckily for me, as a result of their love for the music of their youth, I was also “Raised on ‘80s,” despite being born in 1998. I listened to Journey/Steve passively throughout my childhood and I knew a lot of their music, but I didn’t really *know* them. How I ended up falling in love with Journey’s sound is a long, but funny story that I won’t tell here-but Steve Perry’s voice IMMEDIATELY held me captive. I love to sing with all of my heart, so the inhuman vocal gymnastics he was able to perform while maintaining an incredible, rich sound (while running around the stage, no less) has me enraptured any time I listen to any of his music (which is often!). I am gobsmacked over and over at the ease with which he sings-especially when I listen to one of his pretty much flawless live performance. Whenever I blast S.P.’s music in my car and really engulf myself in his sound, I get the chills. I don’t think any of us will see another vocalist that is gifted with the same level of raw, unadulterated talent as Steve Perry in our lifetime. I wasn’t alive yet to see him perform in person, so I am grateful for the advent of the internet age, which has made watching and listening to the recordings taken at Journey/S.P. performances way back when-before I was even a thought-as simple as tapping my phone’s touch screen. I look forward to listening to whatever Steve puts out in the future! As my fellow millennial/Gen-Z-ers would say: I will “Stan” Steve Perry and his talent ‘till the end :)
Thank you for sharing these awesome stories!! Your storytelling took me back to a time I never experienced myself. What a special time to be alive. Much simpler. A lot more heart :)
Hi Haleyes, thank you for your love of the music, your undying support, and your great comment. It was a magical time to be alive and I am blessed to be able to share my stories with fans of the many artists I have worked with. By far Steve is the most gifted vocalist I ever saw life and to record with him was just a treasure I will hold near and dear to my heart always. I appreciate your support and kind words, have a great week, and don't stop believing my friend. 🎹🎶🎵🎼
Wow Haleyes, your post is not only very well written but describes most of us out here better than anything I've read over the years! "Raw, unadulterated talent, gobsmacked" - got me! So true!
For years I've tried to use words to describe his talent but how do you describe vocals that are, An Inch from Impossible?
If you haven't, Google Steve's very early, sit in doing the blues! This guy can do it all! We're blessed it's all still available so your generation can marvel too!
@@pamlatham7032 Are you referring to songs like, "Get Your Face Outta Here' where a very young boy foolishly was cracking his voice like a whip, or the very soulful "Summertime"? Or something different? I loved that 1978 PBS special where he got to sing with Albert King.
Without a doubt, Steve is an enormous musical talent and an unsurpassed voice, but above all, as you say, he sings with a lot of emotion and feeling and that makes him an artist who touches the hearts of his audience, ...that's why he is so loved and admired (and now fortunately being discovered by younger generations). Thank you for sharing your anecdotes and this charming recording. Already subscribed… 😉
Thank you for your great comment and kind words. 💙🎶🎸💙🎸 ❤🎸❤️🩹🩵🎸
It's crazy just how pure Steve's singing was so early on - I guess he really honed and refined his whole approach before he ever walked into a studio.
He has just turned 26-27 and his tone was clear as a bell not hampered by booze and drugs. He was on fire back then. Thanks for watching

Hi Forrest, that was one of the most incredible storytelling I’ve ever heard. I hung off every word you said. Steve sounds Epic and along with your guitar 🎸 playing put me in an altered state. Thank you for sharing your fabulous experiences from your career. Can’t even imagine being in a room with such talent as you and THE VOICE, but would certainly try. Take care Forrest. 🎸🎶🎸. All the best!!!
Hi Dianne, thank you for your kind words, support, and friendship. Have a great weekend Diane 🎸🎶🎸. All the best!!! 🤗
I've loved Steve Perry since I heard his voice. ❤
He is a once in a life time gift to music! Thank you for watching.
I saw Steve Perry and Journey sing live in Philadelphia in 1983.
I was 19 years old. No words, only feeling can describe that love and extreme joy I felt as the sound of Steve's voice and his rocker group's guitars were coming out of those speakers into the air all around for miles! ❤️ You never forget it!
And what girl didn't seriously think she might have a chance of Steve loving her if she could meet him face to face on that stage! 🤗☺️ ( I knew I was close enough in age that he "might" choose me. )☺️🌹
Oh well..... Hahaha, a girl can dream ... 😉💑
Hi Susan thank you for your wonderful comment. First you were at the perfect age to be struck by the Voice thunderbolt.

Had the joy of hearing Steve sing live with Journey on three separate occasions. He exceeded the recorded versions of the songs on every show. No other live artist of the day did this…no one.
Steve is gifted and it was an honor to work with him and be his friend. Thank you for commenting. What was your biggest takeaway from this video? 🙏❤
Beautiful song sung by the best male vocalist of all time IMHO. Thank you for sharing this treasure.

@@ForrestMcD My favorite song is hard to choose, Open Arms, Winds of March, When you Love a Woman, Message of Love, Colors of the Spirit, Most of All, Missing You. I never met Steve. I was unable to go to any of his concerts. I was a young mom with two babies at the time he was performing. Thank you for doing this honoring of Steve. I personally believe his talent and gift is highly underrated.
What recall! I can't even remember what I eat last night and I'm younger!!!
I am with you there. I spent about 6 years writing it all down the best I can remember. Now that I have the right camera I am in high gear trying to do as many as possible and hope that people like them and my music, ;-)

There have been quite a few replacements for Steve Perry on Journey, although very good singers that can't never be equal to Steve.
That is why anytime you hear Journey on the radio the vocals are always of the incredible mister Perry.
Antonio I agree 100% Thanks for listening I think it is one of his best recorded performances.
Agreed! ❤🎶

What a great story....thanks for sharing it! I agree with your assessment of him. The best vocalist, bar none.
Thank you for your kind words. As a songwriter you know what it should sound like vocally. When you give the song to someone who possesses Steve's ability it takes the song to the next level. He made it his the way he expressed the lyrics with such range vibrato and tenderness, How did you find out out the story? Forrest ~
@@ForrestMcD what year was this recorded? This early in his career to have such control of his voice is just amazing. I heard Journey when they were touring for their 1st album and a couple times since and they were the only band I've heard that sounded as good live as they did in the studio.

How i really wish I was born earlier.. Ive always love Steve and now I just came through this song.. Im so loving it.. Ive been playing this over and over.. I love the blues.. feels nostalgic.. I remember my childhood with his songs...
Paula, I am so glad you love it. Imagine being in a chair 4 feet from Steve listening to take after take. I am glad he is such a perfectionist. We settled on 26th take or there about. I am extremely proud of this song and having worked with some of the greatest entertainers of all time.

Hi, Crystal you know Steve Loved Sam Cook's voice and On this ballad, he really expressed his heart. It's a good thing we are friends and I have this treasure. He wrote on my lyric sheet Hitsville USA. We hoped to get a deal and tour but the Journey opportunity came along and he was on his way. Thanks for watching and subscribing I have another one coming out next weekend. Have a great week and thank you for your support.

I started listening to Journey in the 70’s with my mom when I was around 7 years of age and I love the original journey still to this day . In my 20’s in the 90’s everyone tripped that I would put journey on right after something like Alice N Chains . They just never understand the power of Mr Steven Perry 😁
Thanks for watching and your kind words. Steve is just incredible. I have other videos with him please check them out.

Steve can sing ballads Rock anything….Saw so many of his concerts from the East coast to Chicago. Completely in love with Steve Perry and I too are of Portuguese parents. Love the videos and his infectious smile…..Thank You so much!
Nancy, I agree just listen to his body of work. He was truly born with a remarkable talent. Muito obrigado. Continue acreditando e confira os outros vídeos que fiz sobre Steve quando tiver tempo. Tomar cuidado. ~Forrest 🎹🎶🎵🎼🎤🎸
Thank you Forrest…would love to meet the two of you…😃 Work at Rivers Casino and if Michael Bolton or Jeffrey Osborn perform one more time I’m going to spontaneously combust…Please help us out!!!!
@@ForrestMcD Have been listening to Steve Perry since the 80’s and now that I’m supposed to be retired, I’ve never worked so hard. Work in Pediatric Hospice and Steve Perry has the voice to completely make everything beautiful!!! I spent 26 years as a Chicago first responder now working just as hard after retirement. Ugghhh.Thankfully his music, voice, smile and beautiful eyes live on. Thank You
@@nancylong3933 Nancy, I hear you they would put me to sleep in a flash. We could sure warm the place up no doubt about that.
@@nancylong3933 Nancy you have a good heart and soul. Your words tell me this. Thank you for your service and for letting the music into your heart. Every musician wants their work to count and to help someone in the smallest way is a blessing. It's a two-way street. Thank you for your kind words and service.
Love hearing this, Steve was in Marching Band in High School as a Drummer. Mr Mc Donald said, Steve voice like Angelic, he says. Love this Story!!! I tunes stronger n stronger, I need you.

“Right is right, wrong is wrong,...” gorgeous music. 🎶🎶🎶
Lizanne thank you for your kind words. Steve had just turned 26 I was 25 we had such a good time together. Since I wrote the song I may be bias but I think Steve's vocal on It's Over may be his best recorded performance. Tony Carey complements Steves improv on the piano and made a hook from it. Like many peoples greatest moments we were in the right place at the right time. Thanks for your kind words. Forrest ~
I can’t believe this did not become a hit record. It’s amazing!
@@connieatkinson418 Connie I agree with you!
Let’s ask you two gentleman to redo that song into an extended version! (I don’t know the correct lingo.) 🎶🎶🎶
I always wish the words were “do you want to me” … ☺️
The “Voice”! My favorite singer ❤️🎤

It's so interesting hearing about the shake-ups and joining of the different musicians. How they met, and jammed together, and the different influences. And after being part of exquisite line of work, Forrest Howie McDonald picks Steve Perry as the best singer he had ever worked with. Wow!

A beautiful song, I'm hearing for the first time! 🎵 💖
Thank you I wish the world could hear it! 💌
Hello, Mr Forrest.
I've been a fan since I was fascinated by Steve Perry's singing voice, who came to Japan 42 years ago.
I'm not an English-speaking person.
I don't usually understand someone's speaking English in the video, but your pronunciation is clear and easy to understand. Apart from the details, I understood most of it.
I'm glad that you shared a very interesting story and a wonderful and valuable sound source.
Thank you very much indeed.

@@ForrestMcD wow! Pick a favorite song! Hum? That's like asking which one of my children are my favorite! 😆. "Girl can't help it" is one that comes to mind right now! I even have my grandchildren interested in Steve & the old Journey! As for favorite album? Hum... Infinity, Raised on Radio and Traces. I've never met Steve or seem him in concert sadly! But I've been in love with his vocals/ range for years even now. Oh hell, him too! 😆 I love how he harmonizes with the music during the guitar solos etc. Amazing range! I don't know anyone who can not resist singing along, tapping their toes or their fingers to any Steve Perry song! It's like a happy pill only in words! 😆 🤣 😂
Steve's song have been with since young love days, got me through a very horribly violent marriage only to start a new until a recent life changing diagnoses and still his music carries me on! He deserves the Kennedy life time achievement honor most definitely because I'm sure that I'm not the only one who's leaned on his music to simply survive and to resurrected again to carry on!
@@suelabuhn5942 Sue thank you for your great story Infinity, Raised on Radio and Traces are all excellent.

Thanks so much for sharing this with us. Are you still in touch with Steve?
Hi Sarah it is my pleasure. I have one or two videos where I plugged him for the Kennedy Center Honors and one on Steve Perry scammers. I get asked your question a lot. Let me say Steve is very Private he knows and appreciates the millions of fans he has and is grateful for everyone one of them. Many of his fans have very impactful stories and ask if I can share them with him. Unfortunately, it would just overwhelm him. At this time he still loves his music and his privacy. Thanks for much for watching. Have you been approached by any of his impersonators in Instagram? I sure hope not. Have a great evening. ~ Forrest 🎸🎤🎵🎹🎶
@ForrestMcD no I have not. But being very private myself I wouldn't believe an impersonator. Thank you again for sharing your story.
@ForrestMcD I'd never ask you to connect me with him. Just wondering if you still kept in touch with him.
@@Sarahdrybones Good you strike me as far to wise to get conned. Thank you for your reply Sarah. 🤗🎸 🎤
Beautiful! Thank you for the memories. I've returned to the era of great music out of sheer desperation. Loved Steve Perry for years but appreciate him more and enjoy watching the new generation discovering what we had. Never heard this song before, hope it gets the play time it deserves.
Sharon, it is my pleasure and I thank you for listening. I am glad you enjoyed the story. I have many of them. It was a magical session and the song stands the test of time. I hope you subscribe for more behind the scenes stories. Have a great day!

So beautiful!! Steve Perry is my all time favorite singer. Has been for over 40 years. His voice is like whiskey and velvet. Hearing him on late night radio got me through a lot of rough stuff. Thanks for sharing.
Hi Leslie I couldn't agree more! He is so great. Back in 1975 when we records the two songs I wrote he was in his prime and still sounds great today.

@@ForrestMcD Hello. I can’t really say I have a favorite song. I love them all. His solo stuff and with Journey. My favorite album (with Journey) is Infinity but closely followed by Evolution and Departure. My favorite solo album by him would have to be Street Talk. Just classic Steve. I never had the privilege to see a live show or meet him in person. Sure would have been awesome. I had a terrible childhood and softly listening to the radio late at night was something that “took me away” and the first time I heard his voice come on was something different to me. I’m sure it was Wheel In The Sky and from then on I couldn’t wait to hear him again. I don’t know what it was. I think (for me anyway) he sounded like he was hurt too but it sure helped me. It would be wonderful if he could be acknowledged for his singing and songwriting with such a prestigious honor. He is unique. Thank you.
I JUST ADORE THIS MAN, GOD HIS VOICE,LOOKS, ECT.... IWANT HIM,

🎸🎤🎶
Love the songs you recorded with him !!! They are great songs! Wish there was even more recordings you could release with him on it ! Thanks for the gold
Saw you were asking questions about Steve so I will answer them here. I first heard his voice when his live Houston video was from 81 was on the tv I was probably 14 years old or something this was in 2006. And I couldn’t believe what I was hearing , I’ve never heard anything like his voice before, I remember even specifically the way he said boulevard in don’t stop believing was so special to me it made me feel a certain way , very bizarre to explain hah! I love how smooth his voice is , my favorite recording of all time is the live 1980 Japan captured recording of lights/stay awhile. I know lots of his greatest moments that have been recorded , lots of the rare live stuff , his vocal solos at the end of patiently where he vamps over a single chord, absolutely beautiful and I think has shaped the way I sing and even solo on my instrument. I’ve never had the pleasure of meeting him but I know a handful of people who grew up in that era that ran into him musically here and then that perform now in the tribute scene etc. My top three Steve songs I think a lot of people sleep on “keep on running” awesome tune and vocally stunning. Would love to answer any further questions you have!
Cody that is so nice of you to say. You can do me a solid if you watch as many of my videos as possible. Thanks for your kind words, Take care brother!
Hello! Just scrolling on a snowy night and came across this. People have described their feelings about Steve and his music in so many ways. I have to agree with every single one. My own-he touched my soul from his. Even back in ‘81 at the Escape Tour concert, I held back tears at the sound of his voice. Listening to Traces tonight, I feel the same way. Technical voice teaches love to dissect it and put it into a category. I know better. It’s a window to another mystical world that he lets us into.
Beautiful story. Thanks for sharing a piece of history with us.
Denise I am so glad you enjoyed it. It was a great experience going through the process. Steve's vocal on It's Over is probably one of the best I have heard.
@@ForrestMcD I agree. I mean he's always had the most incredibly beautiful voice. And his knowledge of everything is off the hook. I'm glad you had such a beautiful experience with him. Maybe something in the future will come up again. Blessings.
Meu Deus que música é essa?? Que voz linda do meu Steve Perry... Toda música que ele canta fica linda... Voz de anjo, ele faz qualquer tom.. Incrível demais. Te amo muito Steve Perry 💜💜💜🤍🤍🤍
Thank you, sir. He’s technically perfect, however heart and soul cannot be learned, bought, etc. and that is what set him apart and made him the very unique and untouchable talent he is. Thanks again and many blessings to you. I liked, subscribed and notifications on. ♥️

@@ForrestMcD Unfortunately I live in New Zealand not in the U.S.A! My equal #1 most favourite true Journey songs with Steve ''The Voice'' Perry are Faithfully and Who's Crying Now!

I have nominated the most emotive singer that I've ever heard, many times, to receive a much-deserved Kennedy Centre Honor and I will continue to do so! I will never stop believing in him!

@@Holly707 Thank you Susan that means a lot. At that point in our careers we had some success but nothing like what was coming. This is kind of R&B Steve and should have been a hit!
@@ForrestMcD I do agree, it should have have been hit. You write beautiful songs too. 🤩👍💞
@@Holly707 Thank you Susan. That is very kind of you. I have 15 solo CD's and wrote much of the material.
Great video. Steve perry has been my favorite singer since the second I heard him on the infinity album. But I wasn’t exactly sure that he could pull it off live and then our band went down to Salt Lake when they were playing down there. I think it was in 79 for the evolution Album he was backstage he was strumming a bass sitting on a stool with a cuppa tea teabag hanging out of the cup. I just stood there listening to him in disbelief. I could not believe what I was hearing. He introduced himself we all knew who he was. He was super cool. We talked for a few minutes. He strummed some notes, sang warming up for the show. we left and I was so blown away. I still listen to him every day. I truly believe he’s one in a lifetime.
Razor, I had the same reaction when he invited me to his moms house to Jam in late 1975. He was playing drums and singing and I was playing guitar. We played a bunch of covers then I played 12 of my songs. As I was hearing him sing each song I was saying to myself. Man this guys is good, he is really good, wow this guy is great. The other day one of his fans wrote and said my song It's Over that Steve sang 27 takes on is her favorite song. I am glad you got to experience his great range and personality in person. Thank you for your kind words. Peace love and music. ~ Forrest
Holy Moses!!!! "It's Over" is sick!!! Whiskey smooth, sweet, and silky: Excellent!
Nancy, thank you kindly! It has a great R&B flavor that still holds up today!

@@ForrestMcD Right now, I have Journey's Greatest Hits. When I was young, I had Escape. I loved Don't Stop Believing and Who's Crying Now as a kid, and still do. They just don't get old for me. But it's like all the songs I like with Steve Perry as front man, are my favorite. It's just a great rock-n-soul sound. Lights, Separate Ways, Faithfully, Any Way You Want It,....etc, they're all awesome.
Unfortunately, I have never been to a concert of his/Journey's. I don't do well with crowds, bad nerves ¯\_(ツ)_/¯. I've never met him either.
He has "it", simply classic, unique, and timeless.
Mr. Perry is one of the kind

Hi Forrest, thanks so very much 🙏🏽 I love my autographed CD: “I Need You” already loved “It’s Over” featuring Steve Perry, and I’m enjoying the entire CD! Thanks for all the music, and all the stories!! All the best always, Pat!!
What did you think of the singing on I Need You and Take it to the Top? I may do another video on the other song Steve and I recorded.
@@ForrestMcD Wow, I really like those two, as well as ‘That’s How I Want Our Love’!
And, it absolutely goes without saying: I think you will find much interest in anything Steve Perry! So much is about his obvious talent, but also, for me, simply the story of music, life, love, and loss! Really appreciate your response and the opportunity to chat!
All the best, always!

He wanted 3 to sign me. I thought what about It's Over? Perhaps since Steve already did it he could not consider it one of the three. Nevertheless that's a little more behind the story for you. The song is so beautiful and I don't think it could ever be topped. You are a smart woman! Keep up the great listening. ;-)
@@ForrestMcD Thanks 🙏🏽 so much, and you as well! BTW, you’re ‘spot on’ because ‘It’s Over’ is truly a thing of beautiful; it literally catches you by surprise and makes you replay the song: I was jogging and it came on amongst literally hundreds of great songs, and I remember thinking: wait what’s that and what did he say….let me hear that again; for some reason it reaches the very core of the soul!
Many continued blessings to you, and keep making beautiful music! Oh, my apologies for going on & on here 😊
It's quite alright. I enjoy evoking emotional response with my music. Your reply is quite appreciated.
He should have been singing R&B all along. Listen to how beautifully it suits his voice. My Gawd, I am amazed all over again. Love him so!
@@annisawestcott I gave him a shot here and it turned out great. I totally agree that he can do both. Thank you for your comment. Did you know he loves R&B?
@@ForrestMcD I did know that! I've heard his story about hearing Sam Cooke on the radio of his mother's car. I've really been loving his album Traces and how he's worked in some R&B grooves. Easy to Love is great, as is his reimagining of I Need You.
@@annisawestcott I have not heard the reimaging of I need you where can I find that?
@@ForrestMcD It's on his album Traces, and he has also posted it on RUclips. ruclips.net/video/bNkn2UC_M1M/видео.html
@@annisawestcott thank you very much. It’s very pretty. That’s the title of my first solo CD that it’s over and hold onto your dreams are also on you’re awesome. Have a great night.
Steve will always be the absolute best singer out there. I LOVE this song, already downloaded it from itunes. I recognize the line 'after the lovin', after the evenin'...that's the opening line from Tuesday Heartache, from FTLSM, one of my favorite of his tunes.
Thank you Deb, I am flattered he used my lyrics in the opening from FTLSM. I appreciate your kind words and support. I hope you subscribe for more great stories. Have a super weekend. Forrest ~
What is your favorite song that Steve sings? What is your favorite Album? Did you ever see the band live if so what concerts and which one was the best? Finally, did you ever meet Steve? If you did, can you describe the experience and how it came about? I am collecting stories from Steve’s fans to help us all come together in a music moments video of fan stories. Thank you for your participation. We would like to get Steve recognized by the Kennedy Center Honors and if we all pull together, we can do this. Don’t Stop Believing. Thank you. ~ Forrest
