Who cares about awards? Record sales were huge, arenas packed. Lou Gramm & Foreigner added a lot to the 70s and we all appreciated it.

Lou Gramm reaches down, down inside when he sings.. He puts his Whole body into that vocal! So Good

For those who forgot how F'ing great Lou Gramm was in His prime .. In the top 10 rock Vocalists of all time !! R.I.P. Ed Gagliardi on Bass ...

Johnny , Mark Free (from King Kobra) and Kelly Hansen were the main 3 in the running to replace Lou, and the band chose Johnny Edwards, who came into the band in 1990 , while Lou was still a powerhouse singer who was in Shadow King (1991) . Hansen couldn't compete or got the job, if Lou could sing like he did before the brain tumor and surgery, he still can't touch Lou, Hansens similar to Steven Tyler , Gramm was similar to Robert Plant.

@@jordynpayne8488 Oh, Im not bagging on him, Im just telling the truth. And Lou was in his prime (25 yrs old) when Foreigner took off and was riding high, Hansen was 44 yrs old when he became the 3rd singer, Hansen is now 60yrs old and since he joined the band from the start ,the keys of the songs are lower than when Lou cowrote and sang the tunes and the tempo of the songs are slower also , than Lous prime live performances. (Easy differences to notice) This reveals part of their aging and showing the youth is long gone and has long left this tribute version of Foreigner but I never said Hansen was a bad singer. I only said he cant touch Lou plus I like Johnny Edwards better (Unusual Heat 1991) anyway, he was chosen over Kelly Hansen in 1990, when Lou left the first time. And on the live performances Edwards vocally sounded way closer to Lou than Hansen and Johnny wasn't trying to imitate Lou. So if it seems Im against Lou being replaced, no, not true. It just not the same Foreigner, that brought the fire and their last major radio hit was in 1988 remember "I dont want to live without you"? It charted at #5. A ballad Lou hated charted well on mainstream Billboard. They were reduced to Classic rock when Lou returned in "92. And Grunge/Gangsta rap took over so Mr.Moonlight up to Hansens own Foreigner recordings had not been major hits , won't get played or carried into the mainstream radio because once the musicians turn 40, its lights out. Hansen really sounded better in Hurricane his old band ,.in his prime

His vocals are so crisp. His range and rasp on command are so good. His vocals are as unique as Perry and Mercury for sure. Finally getting in the RRHOF.

Underrated? Foreigner is one of the world's best-selling bands of all time with worldwide sales of more than 80 million records, including 37.5 million in the US. Sold-out arenas, millions of adoring fans. Sounds like a pretty good rating to me

All time vocalist. I’ve played with tons of guys and they’d sell their soul to have this character, range and naturalness as a LV. Its just very unusual. Even among good singers, i think they’d all say he’s got serious pipes. Steve Perry, Steven Tyler, Freddie Mercury, Plant - voices you can’t train into… you might get close, but they are so natural with all the stuff

Lou Gramm is the voice of foreigner he has so much passion in his voice this one of my favorite rock band.

Lou Gramm has the best voice and give so much of himself in every syllable!

Kelly Hansen is a superb vocalist however nothing beats Lou’s vocals. He made Foreigner what this band is today. Never forget about Lou Gramm. Great vocalist, I wish he was able to sing the way he did over 40 years ago

That amazing voice and most entertaining frontman. Loved the tambourine back bend…and, I always wondered how he kept that gum in his mouth. Love you, Lou! ❤

I love Lou, he’s one of the greatest vocalist ever. Wow, I was about 16 when this came out and I had to get it immediately , I’m taking about cold as ice, I remember crusin the town and backroads to foreigner, brings back great memories. Seems Ike no time I was sitting in my bedroom at home writing on this album or planning to sneak out. Na, this does bring back the 80’s tho. On this night in 1984 I was probably doing just that. Huge fan of lou😊❤🎧🎤🎧🎤🎧🎤🎧🎤🎧🎤🎧🎤nervous wreck just praying not to get caught sneaking out

Hi there! How I like this human being for being so handsome and kind! Thanks a lot, I'm with this voice over 28 years and I thank him for everything to be sounded in me, especially in ballads! Thanks a lot for sharing this!

Amazing, so fantastic lou gramm 💥💫💢🤞

Ian McDonald passed away from cancer a couple of months ago in NYC at age 75, following the late Ed Gagliardi; Dennis Elliott became a famous sculptor. Mick Jones still President of Foreigner. Lou on his own, probably.

Al Greenwood just blowing us all away on keyboards. Plus the combined talent of the rest of the band makes this one of the very best live performances of a song. Foreigner is the soundtrack to my life.

Foreigner, the original lineup is still one of my favorite bands of all time. I wore my Double Vision concert shirt until it fell apart. I remember riding my bike to a nearby plaza to buy their first album and stop by the pizza shop for a slice. The plaza is no longer there, although those are some great memories in my youth.

That shit was pure my man
