    The audio in this documentary is captured from Lou Gramm interviews. Lou Gramm is a singer-songwriter, best known for being the lead singer of the rock band Foreigner from 1977 to 1990 and 1992 to 2003. Foreigner's first eight singles cracked the Billboard Top 20, making them the first band since The Beatles to achieve this milestone. 8 Gramm performed vocals on all of Foreigner's hits including "Urgent", "Juke Box Hero", "Break It Up", "Say You Will", and "I Don't Want to Live Without You". He co-wrote most of the band's songs, including the hit ballads "Waiting for a Girl Like You", which spent ten weeks at #2 on the 1981/82 American Hot 100, and "I Want to Know What Love Is", which was a number one hit in eight countries. Gramm released his first solo album, Ready or Not, in January 1987 to critical acclaim. The single "Midnight Blue" reached the top five

    Lou Gramm was the heart of that band. When he teamed up with Mick Jones, they wrote beautiful songs. When Lou Gramm sang solo, he still prevailed anyway. He has a strong, high, emotional voice that was smooth, steady, deep, obvious, and overall just lovely.

    Hi there, we can tell about the voice a million times, but I want to tell that THE SOUL is the same through years. I hear a wise, humble and handsome man. Lou was on the top, but he has never boasted with his talent! I can only say the same - I imagine that all of us sit in the cozy room and hear all these stories. I really appreciate it! Lou... your voice cured, wondered, enjoyed me over 28 years. Thank you for these days! From time to time I play your "True Blue Love" for my husband. He likes the other music style, he likes DISCO HITS, but he was impressed with it. Thank for your gifted soul! No self-admiration, no narcissism, just a wonderful human being! BE HEALTHY!!!

    BEING A SINGER AND HAVING AN EAR FOR MUSIC , THROUGH THE GIFTED WORKS OF THE SINGERS OF THE WORLD , ELVIS BEING A HUGE INFLUENCE ONE CAN LEARN BY HEARING AND LISTENING TO VOICE / SINGING IN THE RIGHT KEY CAN HONE THEIR SKILLS , MENTORS SUCH AS MR. LOU GRAM ARE INCREDIBLE TEACHERS , BALLADS ARE DIFFERENT FROM TRADITIONAL ROCK & ROLL , BUT MANY GROUPS IN THE LATE 70 ‘S & 80’S WERE SHIFTING TO SOFT ROCK BALLADS !!!!

    I don't care for the new singer for Foreigner I would rather listen to Lou Gramm he has the right singing voice for the group. The new singer sounds like he has a cold.

  • @VIDEOHEREBOB

    I remember first hearing his voice, as I waited at a car dealership. I was in a band at the time. I remember saying to myself. Who the hell is this? His voice mesmerized me. It was "Hot Blooded" and those punchy, intense, near operatic C5s with a tone like no one else! He has remained my biggest vocal influence. Hoping one day he might decide to teach voice. At 4:20, I believe the singer pictured is Kelly Hansen, not Lou Gramm.

    • @waltersimmons946
      @waltersimmons946 Год назад +9

      They need to stop putting Hansen's pictures when it Lous voice. Hansen sounds nothing like Gramm and recently Gramm strongly stated he was offended by Hansen "mimicking him" stead of singing his own voice.

    Without Lou I don't care what the band does, it isn't the Foreigner that I remember. Hanson is a fine vocalist, BUT..he isn't and never will be a Lou Gramm type singer. Lou needs to be regonized as one of the greatest american rock vocalist of all time.

  • @dmw1280
    @dmw1280 Год назад +7

    Lou will always be the voice of Foreigner. I know fans still wish for Lou to be in the band, but let’s face facts Lou is not the same singer after his surgery plus he is older 73 so Lou has no desire to be on the road full time anymore.
