Hi ken I really your version of this song, I have good chest voice but my head voice is not that good, the last note your belting is a transition from chest voice to head voice, I just cant do it please help,
Hey Ken, I like how you sing this, especially since you consider yourself a high baritone. When I was younger, I was able to easily Perry's range (in most cases), along with Bradley Delp. I've been singing all my life. Unfortunately, I'm nearly 60 and would love to get it back if possible. I spent years on a CPAP machine and wonder if that robbed me of my ability. I've been hanging around your forums and may opt for one of your programs if you think there's hope :D
Journey is such a once in a lifetime band that had the greatest vocalist of all time. Hard to do a cover, but you really did Journey proud on this one. Great cover man!
I also feel steve perry is the greatest ROCK vocalist of all time, glad to know im not the only one who holds that belief, although arguments can definitely be made for freddie mercury & chris cornell, steve was simply, just Above all the rest
Here we stand Worlds apart Hearts broken in two, two, two Sleepless nights Losing ground I'm reaching for you, you, you Feelin' that it's gone Can't change your mind If we can't go on To survive the tide Love divides Someday love will find you Break those chains that bind you One night will remind you How we touched And went our separate ways If he ever hurts you True love won't desert you You know I still love you Though we touched And went our separate ways Troubled times Caught between confusion and pain, pain, pain Distant eyes Promises we made were in vain, in vain, in vain If you must go I wish you love You'll never walk alone Take care, my love Miss you, love Someday love will find you Break those chains that bind you One night will remind you How we touched And went our separate ways If he ever hurts you True love won't desert you You know I still love you Though we touched And went our separate ways No Someday love will find you Break those chains that bind you One night will remind you If he ever hurts you True love won't desert you You know I still love you I still love you, girl I really love you, girl And if he ever hurts you True love won't desert you No, no
Teu timbre nesta canção lembra muito o do Steve. Você é um excelente cantor. Que agudo!!! Esta é uma das minhas canções preferidas do Journey. Parabéns!
Very well done. It's not Steven Perry its Ken tamplin and you made it your own I truly appreciate that. To many times people expect it to sound just like the original.
something that i really love about Ken's interpretation of a song is that his vocals usually go to a beefier sound and with really powerful high notes, and you can still see that in this version even if he gets a little bit more gentle in some parts, you're truly a monster and a inspiration for me as a singer, keep rocking as always dude! 🤘
Lou Gramm was Foreigner's original vocalist. After hearing this I wish Lou and Steve Perry had replaced each other. Neal Schon is a Hard Rock guitarist so Journey was always a bit heavier than Foreigner but not as heavy as Styx got!
since I had no money when I was a kid, Ive never seen Journey with Perry, but I have seen them with every post Perry singer, including Jeff Scott Soto. Ive seen Dean Castronova do this song and tear it up, and watching him play the drums to this was awesome. Amazing version from Ken as normal. I think this came out in 1983... I wore this tape out on the old Walkman also:)
From all the coaches I've seen and heard here on RUclips, you sir are the best in what you do your work is loved by all who have subscribed. Thank you, and wish you forever well. Thank you very much for your guidance.
I don't comment on youtube videos and I have the singing talent of a snoring ox but jesus christ can you sing. I love this song and your singing is unreal! Holy crap man... amazing! 👏
Hearing Steve Perry in 1978, for the first time, I decided I wanted to sing. Kind of my personal "Beatles/Ed Sullivan" moment. He was on of my greatest influences and learned his technique (s) over many years to emulate him quite well. At 52, I'm proud to say I can still sing the Escape album, through it's entirety, and finish with a few choice picks from Departure without taking a break. I call it a good workout/exercise. 😆 I was impressed with your version and grateful that you also revere Steve as one of the greats. I enjoy your videos and look forward to the next. Until then, take care and keep singing! Why?!?! Because we can!! 😁😁😁😁😍😍😍
YOUR time is here, YOUR time is NOW, start singing better than YOU ever thought possible, today! We’re here to tell you, you CAN and WILL nail it, KTVA will get you there! kentamplinvocalacademy.com/christmas-sale/
Always enjoy listening to someone else singing these great classic and awesome tunes. Always a pleasure to hear someone who can actually show us how to sing, even if we might be a little weak.
Yes, I agree. Steve did sing pretty much exclusively with a R&B, smooth voice on the early Journey albums. Then, along comes the much harder sounding Frontiers " album in which Steve now has to grow accustomed to singing in this new style - wearing on his voice much more significantly than the previous 5 years of Journey album tours. Great points you mention in this video Ken. Maybe this contributed to his interest in 2 solo albums right after Frontiers and after Raised on Radio - to get back to the more soulful and R&B based singing.
Once I subscribed to your channel, I unsubscribed to other vocal coaches' channels since they don't give the proof in the singing. You are awesome, Ken!
It's an advanced way of relaxing the throat and tongue, and moves the tongue out of the back of the throat in order to create more space for greater resonance.
Ken, you're a killer vocalist. I've seen a number of your videos now. I do notice that on your vowels you have a very unique tongue placement. It's pointed, and I don't know if that happens naturally for you as a mouth shape or if it's a conscious decision. You have great vowel sounds so I wondered if it was purposeful. Thanks for the upload!
Amazing Ken.. there are a lot people that don't quite understand, like singers do, how tough Steve Perry is to cover.. not only the range but the amazing emotion in that range.. great take on it again Ken
Steve didn’t really lose his voice, it just got more raspy and it got more weighty which meant that the top notes weren’t as easy for him overtime, partially from over-touring and partially from age since the voice tends to get deeper and more mature with age. By raised on radio he was 37 and by trial by fire he was 47. But it wasn’t like Robert Plant or Elton John where he had to get surgery. Maybe if he had used a more chesty mixed voice then his voice would have sustained better, but he probably wouldn’t have gotten the sound he wanted.
Steve Perry is a lot better than Jon Bon Jovi who sadly can’t hit the same notes like before. The Eagles’ one of the very few bands or i should say vocals who sound better as they’re older.
Amazing cover from the most difficult songs of all time, well done Mr Tamplin. I like the way you sing the song and not try to copy Steve Perry, God bless you, well done.
Man, you nailed it. You could of stepped in and helped Journey out.good job.I believed every word you sang. Very professional. I play bass and keyboard I can tell you did your homework.again good job bro.
Do you ever get tired of hearing how awesome you sing, or how moving your voice can be? No matter how many songs I hear you sing I am blown away by each and everyone. I'm so glad I found your site. Rock On!
I can't sing, really I can not. But love listen how you sing all those different styles/ A big Journey fan here and I really enjoyd your version of Seperate Ways. Youre Painkiller version from Judas Priest is my all time favourite!
Man, you put a little extra on the end of that song. It still sounds awkward to hear you do covers but the work really displays your ability. Thanks, Uncle Brent
THIS IS SO GOOD OMG. YOU ARE SO GOOD. I WISH I COULD SING LIKE THAT...... YOU ARE MY FAVOURITE MALE SINGER!!!!!!!! NO DOUBT!!!! WISH EVERYTHING GOOD FOR YOU FOR YOU KEN
Hi! I was just searching Separate ways covers here on RUclips and came across your video. Im going to cover this song and this was very helpful! Thank you!
This course is awesome! ! I porches around 6 months ago and my voice is definitely getting better...I only took few singing classes in the pass..and now I'm doing better and better. ..I'm also practicing this song and I can hit the notes!! Love it. .."how to sing better than anyone else "
Hello Ken, I want to thank you for all the tips you gave me. The tests have been more productive as I use the tips you offer. Now I do not get more voiceless at the end of the rehearsals / shows. Thank you very much.
I was so happy to come across you just now! I haven't seen you for several days and wasn't sure why. Maybe because I added a few more subscriptions for different topics?? I don't know! But, I missed you and this sounds fantastic! I loved it!
John gatti0- without a doubt you can... the voice is a muscle (actually a group of muscles), and like any muscle in your body, with good training will grow even into your 70's. Obviously not as quick and robust as in your 20's, but grow it will if you are willing to put in the time and effort with proper training. My course and or training will definitely help you if you're willing to work at it!
I have no idea how you hit those high notes even with your lessons. It just seems unreal. One of my favorites from Journey is Faithfully. I'd love to hear your version of that song!!
OMG! You're not a singer, you're a monster! How do you dare to sing those high notes??? Bravo, Bravissimo!!!! You're such a tenor!!!
He is baritone actually!
If a person can sing like that, he must do it. Very strong, very beautiful.
Thank you, Rihsat!
I got a lot of requests for this song. I hope you like it. I look forward to your comments and requests! Please Like and Share!
:-)
One of my favorites growing up too! Happy Thanksgiving to you and your family KT (Warm greeting from your bro in Ohio!)
Thanks, jcoulter43, and Thanksgiving Holiday greetings to you and your family, too!
can you please do one on gerard way

Here we stand
Worlds apart
Hearts broken in two, two, two
Sleepless nights
Losing ground
I'm reaching for you, you, you
Feelin' that it's gone
Can't change your mind
If we can't go on
To survive the tide
Love divides
Someday love will find you
Break those chains that bind you
One night will remind you
How we touched
And went our separate ways
If he ever hurts you
True love won't desert you
You know I still love you
Though we touched
And went our separate ways
Troubled times
Caught between confusion and pain, pain, pain
Distant eyes
Promises we made were in vain, in vain, in vain
If you must go
I wish you love
You'll never walk alone
Take care, my love
Miss you, love
Someday love will find you
Break those chains that bind you
One night will remind you
How we touched
And went our separate ways
If he ever hurts you
True love won't desert you
You know I still love you
Though we touched
And went our separate ways
No
Someday love will find you
Break those chains that bind you
One night will remind you
If he ever hurts you
True love won't desert you
You know I still love you
I still love you, girl
I really love you, girl
And if he ever hurts you
True love won't desert you
No, no
KILLER ENDING!!!! Gave me goosebumps
Thanks Joshua!
Teu timbre nesta canção lembra muito o do Steve. Você é um excelente cantor. Que agudo!!! Esta é uma das minhas canções preferidas do Journey. Parabéns!
Ken, I am a believer. Yours is the best training on the net. THIS WAS INCREDIBLE!!!!
This cover is everything, you’re vocals remind of Steve Perry, which nobody can recreate. Amazing 👍
Very well done. It's not Steven Perry its Ken tamplin and you made it your own I truly appreciate that. To many times people expect it to sound just like the original.
Thank you!

Oooohhh JOURNEY a long time favorite OMG
Chuck Norris wishes he could sing like Ken Tamplin
Kin tamplen is the best and excellent mentor thank professor share your teacnih
You are very welcome!
Wow love to here you sing
Ken Tamplin sounds like the original lead vocalist for Foreigner. I always hear Foreigner even when he sings Journey.
@Jonathan Rose Wow I didnt know that.
Funny enough I always thought the same thing. He's got a few Foreigner songs on here
Agree
Lou Gramm was Foreigner's original vocalist. After hearing this I wish Lou and Steve Perry had replaced each other.
Neal Schon is a Hard Rock guitarist so Journey was always a bit heavier than Foreigner but not as heavy as Styx got!
Haha no way
since I had no money when I was a kid, Ive never seen Journey with Perry, but I have seen them with every post Perry singer, including Jeff Scott Soto. Ive seen Dean Castronova do this song and tear it up, and watching him play the drums to this was awesome. Amazing version from Ken as normal. I think this came out in 1983... I wore this tape out on the old Walkman also:)
Ken is simply THE man..thats it.
Wow. Never heard of Sam Cooke. I can hear the similarity in Perry style of voice. Amazing. Your vocal is powerful. Thanks for sharing all the insight.
Thanks for listening, memyselfandeye2 MARTIN!
Favorite vocalist of all time Steve Perry. You nailed it again Ken. Blessings from Puerto Rico. 🇵🇷🇵🇷🇵🇷
this guy is a freaking vocal genius!!
SP is probably my first or second favorite vocalist that I’ve seen live(6 times). Good job Ken
👍
AWESOME!!! You're really cool, and your voice can do so many things!!!!! Thanks for this cover!!!!
I Enjoy your emotions with your singing!! Love it . One of my favorites of Journey .
This is why I love music. It can bring people with different likes, ideas and backgrounds together. Very well done
Oh I see now you can hold your own with Steve . ken I had to watch again. Ken wow .
Whoa I didn't expect him to not just nail this but kill this in amazing way😮
Love your cover a lot of this Journey's song I enjoyed it and I'm Shooked when you start belting those high falsetto. Urrghh You ROCK!!!!!
Thank you. Rock on!
From all the coaches I've seen and heard here on RUclips, you sir are the best in what you do your work is loved by all who have subscribed. Thank you, and wish you forever well. Thank you very much for your guidance.

Great job Ken! As you know, following Steve Perry is no easy feat, but you did awesome.
I don't comment on youtube videos and I have the singing talent of a snoring ox but jesus christ can you sing. I love this song and your singing is unreal! Holy crap man... amazing! 👏

Ken Tamplin Vocal Academy what mic and shock mount do you use in the video?
Ken Tamplin Vocal Academy best cover I’ve ever heard!
Yes, I agree. Steve did sing pretty much exclusively with a R&B, smooth voice on the early Journey albums.

One of my favorite journey songs 👏👏👍🏻👍🏻😝
One of mine, too!
Final chords - Seperate ways....... a very long note shift to head voice with stamina and strength nice, excellent job!
What a great voice, journey will always be a journey
One of the most difficult voices to try to cover'...this guy did a great job
loved this song so much as a kid
It's one of my favorites!
1:33 One night will remind you
How we touched and went our separate ways
Once I subscribed to your channel, I unsubscribed to other vocal coaches' channels since they don't give the proof in the singing. You are awesome, Ken!
Wow , impressive and , The high notes at the end I wasnt expecting but you delivered flawlessly! Great job Ken
Thanks Culley!
You r great sir but you also can't replace Steve
Great job Ken! I'm always impressed with anyone who can cover Journey! Those that can are few and far between
Wow, what a voice. I am amased
Thanks, Darko!
What a powerful voice
All i can say is WOW!!!!
whats with his tongue
It's an advanced way of relaxing the throat and tongue, and moves the tongue out of the back of the throat in order to create more space for greater resonance.
Ken Tamplin Vocal Academy awesome
He's the Lizard King, he can sing anything.
Wolf Jay Robert California?
That's his super power.
SENSACIONAL! QUANDO O PREPARO, O TALENTO,A COMPETÊNCIA E O CARISMA SE JUNTAM NÃO TEM PRA NINGUÉM!
Magnificent ttttttttttttttttt....music is life... Ken toppppp,💙👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👍
Thanks for the visit, Antonello!
Ken, you're a killer vocalist. I've seen a number of your videos now. I do notice that on your vowels you have a very unique tongue placement. It's pointed, and I don't know if that happens naturally for you as a mouth shape or if it's a conscious decision. You have great vowel sounds so I wondered if it was purposeful. Thanks for the upload!
He can sing, no doubt, but you can hear that his tongue gets in the way of his pronunciations.
You have a fantastic voice. I would love to be able to sing like this but know my limits. Can’t stop listening to this!! 🔥
You can do it! kentamplinvocalacademy.com/
This song is one of my favorites.
Mine, too, Tammy!
Yes and Amen!! Steve Perry would be proud.
Thanks, Florida! 😊
Amazing Ken.. there are a lot people that don't quite understand, like singers do, how tough Steve Perry is to cover.. not only the range but the amazing emotion in that range.. great take on it again Ken
Steve Perry raised that bar so high! Such a voice, txtamaman!
Meu irmão você canta muito que presente Deus te deu ! Parabéns
Steve didn’t really lose his voice, it just got more raspy and it got more weighty which meant that the top notes weren’t as easy for him overtime, partially from over-touring and partially from age since the voice tends to get deeper and more mature with age.

Maybe if he had used a more chesty mixed voice then his voice would have sustained better, but he probably wouldn’t have gotten the sound he wanted.
Rubbish!!! He's still the voice
Steve Perry is a lot better than Jon Bon Jovi who sadly can’t hit the same notes like before. The Eagles’ one of the very few bands or i should say vocals who sound better as they’re older.
Unlike those others, Steve actually took care of his voice. That kind of grueling schedule and challenging repertoire would age anyone's voicem
Ken you are awesome...
Thanks, Temjen!
Amazing cover from the most difficult songs of all time, well done Mr Tamplin. I like the way you sing the song and not try to copy Steve Perry, God bless you, well done.
Thanks for your comment, Jeffelijah! 😊

Thank you so much for the kind words, Amy!
I can't sing, really I can not. But love listen how you sing all those different styles/ A big Journey fan here and I really enjoyd your version of Seperate Ways. Youre Painkiller version from Judas Priest is my all time favourite!

Ken's a beast of a singer, so versatile, he sounds like a man in his 20's.
Thanks, J!
There is nothing you sing Ken that’s not outstanding.
The proof is definitely in the singing.
Bravo
I appreciate that, Dave.
Mr. Tamplin... you're The King!!!!🤴
Sir I want you to cover Faithfully (journey) and The Messenger-Chester Bennington

mr . Tamplin I think you are a great coach with lot of knowledge and energy for what you are doing !
WOW JUST WOW!!!! Ever think of joining the band Journey? Those high notes were like "holy smoke it's Rob Halford!!"
Man, you put a little extra on the end of that song. It still sounds awkward to hear you do covers but the work really displays your ability. Thanks, Uncle Brent
Beautifully done !!!! I heard/seen this video before, but now I have so much more respect for it since I started trying to learn Steve Perry covers.
Thanks James!
Wow amazing sir Tamplin
THIS IS SO GOOD OMG. YOU ARE SO GOOD. I WISH I COULD SING LIKE THAT...... YOU ARE MY FAVOURITE MALE SINGER!!!!!!!! NO DOUBT!!!! WISH EVERYTHING GOOD FOR YOU FOR YOU KEN

Tete, I'm so glad the course is working so well for you! Keep on practicing and improving! 😊
Hello Ken, I want to thank you for all the tips you gave me. The tests have been more productive as I use the tips you offer. Now I do not get more voiceless at the end of the rehearsals / shows. Thank you very much.
Clark Fernandes That's great to know! Glad the videos are helping you out.
Awesome as always. Such a great voice. 👍
Thank you so much 🤗
Incredible voice. You are such a joyous, generous person. I’m sure you must bring out the best in you students. Bravo! ☺️
I appreciate the kind words, Chris!
indeed correct technique lets uou lead the sound and the air where it is suitable
😊
My absolute favorite Journey song, lyrically, musically and singing wise. Nice Job Ken....I think I'm getting addicted to your videos...lol
Thanks, poconoboss!
I was so happy to come across you just now! I haven't seen you for several days and wasn't sure why. Maybe because I added a few more subscriptions for different topics?? I don't know! But, I missed you and this sounds fantastic! I loved it!
Glad you enjoyed it.
Ken...there's something about Steve's voice quality that is magical...just curious, can an older singer recover their range?
John gatti0- without a doubt you can... the voice is a muscle (actually a group of muscles), and like any muscle in your body, with good training will grow even into your 70's. Obviously not as quick and robust as in your 20's, but grow it will if you are willing to put in the time and effort with proper training. My course and or training will definitely help you if you're willing to work at it!
I have no idea how you hit those high notes even with your lessons. It just seems unreal. One of my favorites from Journey is Faithfully. I'd love to hear your version of that song!!
Thanks for the suggestion!
