It’s only Journey if Steve Perry is singing.

Steve Perry is one of the best technical singers in rock history. Perfect pitch, pure voice, and sounds just as good live as he does in the studio. Please listen to more by them.

Steve Perry… The Voice. As far as I’m concerned, there is no Journey without Perry.

There’s no-one that compares with Steve. Simply put.

“I get the joy of rediscovering you” the best lyric sung by the best vocalist of all time.

Steve Perry was Journey and the group now are just a counterfeit. My Opinion

Hit "Mother, Father" - Journey Live in Houston 1981. You won't be sorry. One of Steve Perry's best vocals ever.

Steve Perry’s voice is one of the very finest. Journey sounds just as spectacular in their videos of live concerts, which is my gold standard. So impressive. You can’t pick a bad song of theirs.

This song is genius. No chorus: doesn’t need one. Starts with a single quiet piano riff and crescendos into this full band, whaling guitar, Perry nailing the vocals, just an insane tune.

I love the official music 🎵 video to this song. This song is my and hubby’s song … 35 years now. Nobody delivers a power ballad like Steve Perry and Journey.

Steve Perry - the one and only. " Oh Sherrie" is a great one. This is when he went solo. Good ole San Francisco boy!!

Makes me feel really old when the guy has to look up who the lead singer was because he's never heard of him or Journey.

This song is perfect from start to finish. The line "I get the joy of rediscovering you" is just beautiful and so emotional. ❤

This official music video for this song is actually pretty great. It gives a visual story to the lyrics in a way most music videos don't. It definitely adds to the emotion of the song, when watching the video.

Belted this whole song right along with Journey. Definitely one of the best love songs of all time imo

Being faithful was and still is the lifeblood of separated/deployed couples, and they took up this song back in the DAY.

They don't call Perry "The Voice" for nothing. Beautiful song. Hits you in your feels.

Most beautiful line ever is “I get the joy of rediscovering you”. Love Steve Perry, love Journey and wish I had a time machine to go back to those days of my youth.

True story! One day someone asked me, who is the only group that you would sleep in line overnight for tickets to see? I said JOURNEY, without a doubt! The very next week they announce that they would be in my city soon! So I got tickets for their RAISED ON RADIO tour, which ended up being their last tour with Steve Perry at vocals! They did NOT disappoint!

This should be no surprise. Steve Perry is The Voice!

He will never be replaced! My fav. Singer and band!

Never forget this vocalist STEVE PERRY, you know why...because you will never hear someone like him in your life...how special that you, being young, are amazed by this video...imagine a whole generation who lived it .... PRICELESS Thank you.

Who knew, in 1969, that Steve Perry would turn out to be one of the best rock vocalists ever! In high school, he was a senior and I was a freshman. He didn't know I was alive, but I knew who he was - he was friends with my next door neighbors. I snuck out my bedroom window to go to the graduation party next door, but didn't get to talk to him. I faded out fast after 1 beer and snuck back home!

The one singing is Steve Perry the best journey lead singer & best Rock voice ever, he's known as the voice, need I say more.🎸 They became far more popular due to Steve Perry.

Steve Perry aka "The Voice", is pure perfection. His talent is amazing and although the band is still performing with a new lead, it doesn't come close to Steve Perry's contribution to this band. He had a successful career a a solo artist as well. There are many great Journey songs, " Lights" is my personal favorite..you just can't get enough of Steve Perry's voice.

Yeah you definitely need to watch the video.

Back in the 80's we called them "the voice" instead of Journey lolloll Steve Perry IS THE VOICE!!

Who's crying now live in Houston! My favorite of all time!

Voice coaches are amazed by his voice. There is so many elements to vocals, but his range which is God-given. You can’t learn that you can advance it, but it’s a innate talent. His register is phenomenal his tonality his breathing you can’t hear one gas from his mouth or his lungs It’s just unbelievable. 🍷🇮🇹💋🙏

As others have suggested, you need to do Mother Father the live from Houston concert. In fact if you have the time you should do the whole concert to really grasp just how good and hard working these 80’s groups are.

I would love to see you listen to Stone in Love. In my opinion…..the best Journey song.

Journey owns two of the greatest power ballads of all time... 'Faithfully' and 'Open Arms'. One other classic rock band with two of the other greatest power ballads is Foreigner with 'I've Been Waiting For a Girl Like You' and 'I Want to Know What Love Is'. Definitely check these out... Lou Gramm's voice is on a par with Steve Perry's.

For Steve Perry's best vocal performance ever, listen to and watch Journey "Mother Father" live 1981 in Houston. Steve said it was the hardest song to sing live. It will blow you away!! Always do Journet live versions. They are even bettter live.

Journey was huge in the day. Especially with the ladies. The only singer you need to know is Steve Perry. One of the all time greats.

Once upon a time many years ago I was friends with a DJ at 94.9 Zeta 4. I was in the studio with my friend during one of his shifts and this song came up on the play list. He smiled at me and said, "There's only one way to listen to this song: Really loud." He then cranked up these massive studio speaker to like 80 Dbs and we just rocked out to it. To this day I can't hear this song and not think of that moment.

I seen them 4 times between 1979 to 1981 fantastic band Steve Perry has the best vocals ever

Johnathan Cain the piano player wrote this song for his wife but unfortunately the marriage did not last. The official video shows and tells it all.

I can't listen to this song without playing the original video in my mind (the one we're all familiar with, that aired on MTV/VH1).

If you liked this ballad, you should definitely check out Open Arms.

Wow finally! Your audience has been waiting for another Journey reaction after you reacted to Wheel In The Sky, a month ago. So Thank you! About Faithfully, Keyboardist Jonathan Cain wrote it for his then wife about the difficulties of touring, being married and the long separations on the road, yet remaining faithful. Steve Perry is the lead singer of all of Journey's iconic songs from October 1977 through 1987 and again from 1995 - 1998. After Steve left the band Journey has had 3 or 4 lead singers the current one being Arnel Pineda all required to sound like Steve Perry who co- wrote most all the iconic songs with Jonathan Cain and Neal Schon. It's Steve Perry's soaring vocal range paired with the chemistry of these crazy, talented musicians that brought the success to Journey. The one and only Steve Perry is known as "The Voice", a named so by Jon Bon Jovie. Please listen to Journey with Steve Perry live in concert performances too, you haven't even begun to be blown away. The love they showed performing live for their fans really comes through. Recommend: "Still They Ride" live from Tokyo 1983 "Mother Father" live from Houston Escape Tour 1981. "Why Can't This Night Go on Forever" official video.

Still They Ride 1983 Philadelphia is even better than the Tokyo/Budokan video. Steve had a cold in Tokyo. He does a lot more cool stuff with it in Philly.

They are amazing live, I’ve seen them 3 times. Steve sounds just like the albums. Jon Bon Jovi gave him the name “The Voice” It’s so crazy listening to their songs with Headphones on, the DRUMS are amazing. I never really noticed it real time! Very powerful Ballad!!!

I love the song When You Love a Woman, the official video to it shows so much emotion in Steve's face and the music is gorgeous, As for one of my fave songs he did on his earlier solo album, I never get tired of Foolish Heart, another gorgeous display of his vocal talent. He started recording solo again a few years ago and has some great newer songs as well.

The original video tells the story of being a member of a rock band and on the road 350 days a year. The music video was extremely well done.

STEVE PERRY. Has the most beatiful, amazing, one of a kind voice that melts me every single time i hear him sing. ❤️ i love you steve. You are the best singer ive ever heard, that voice is so off the charts. Im in my emotions and feelings when i hear you sing. Absolutely incredible.. .

When you love a woman off of trial by fire….. one of their best.

The official video really drives this one home.

SP IS still THE VOICE. I was lucky to be in my teens 1975--1980 to fall in love with Journey. I'm still forever theirs. Faithfully.

He was an anointed singer. Soooo awesome

Steve has an AMAZING Voice.. Seen Journey live several times during the 70 s and Early 80 's

What else to say, but just beautiful!!♥️✌

Your a prize kiddo. So fun to listen with you. Class. Journey is one of the classiest rock bands of all time. Steve Perry. Amazing singer. I saw them live in Oakland in 79 and we were in shock. Steve Perry actually sounded better than on their pristine records. The guy is one of the best singers in popular music history. Super soulful singer.

Yes, the live is great. I was fortunate enough to see this live in 1983. Bryan Adams, Zebra, and Foghat opened up for them. Journey was one of the first to utilize the big screen videos at their concerts. Steve Perry wanted to make sure the fans in the back of the huge arenas could enjoy the concert as much as those up front. When they did this song they actually played the official video of this song on the screens. You should check it out, pretty iconic. About being on the road and missing the one you love. Please go on a long Journey with them. They don't have a bad song with Steve Perry singing, especially live. I got to see them 4 times. Thanks and God Bless.

"Who's Crying Now", "Only the Young", and my favorite, "Send Her My Love", are must reactions by Journey...

If you want to experience Steve’s voice with no distraction just his amazing way of pulling you in and feeling his voice, then you need to watch the video for Foolish Heart. Just Steve alone in a room with a microphone. ❤❤❤

Can you dig it? Steve had some pipes / great post / Thanks Sal.....

I seen Journey in concert twice here in New Orleans with Steve Perry as a lead singer and I was never disappointed

The soundtrack of my high school years. Journey Escape was the first cassette I ever bought with my own money. Yeah, I’m old. 😂

I have not been a Journey fan for quite a few years now, but decided to give this another listen. The tears are flowing...... A fan once again.

Great song..His vocals cannot be compared to anyone...Love him live

SalvoG when Steve Perry left journey, the band tryed with a lot of lead singers looking for a voice similar to Perry. Great band and with a lot of love song that can you fell in your heart. Great reaction thanks again SalvoG

You really need to watch this with the video. It shows them on the road, rocking their guts out on stage.

Oh, you really should watch their live version of this song..."Live in Tokyo 1983". And remember that Journey's most successful years were when Steve Perry was the lead singer in the band, 1977-1998. There is no other voice like his...PERIOD.

This was the "our" song with my first love. She broke my heart and this damn song just carries so much weight. Damn you Steve! lol.

It’s way way more emotional in the official music video. Do it up! ❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥

The guitar outdo to this is gold. Neal is a legend.

From what I was told. This song was done in one take in the studio. Absolutely Phenomenal.

If you are 90s like me, then you know exactly when you write a letter to someone with end of sentence "Forever yours, faithfully". That's why writing a letter more genuinely feel true from the heart rather than modern day messages phone, WhatsApp etc. Especially when you write a letter while listening journey faithfully music. Just what I did it in the past

I've heard that song 1000 times, and I've never heard that synth part in the background that you picked out. Good ears! What makes this song and the band so good, is that they are all very good at their instruments, but they don't play over each other to show off. Everything they do is to contribute to the song in a positive direction. Even the last music line of the song, you can hear the guitar doing reverse bends to set the mood. And just in case you haven't seen it, while I normally don't like videos, because I think they are often non relevant to the song and takes something away from it, the original video for this song is spot on and really adds even more to an amazing song.

My, then fiance', and I were out dancing and this song came on. As we slow danced I sang along with it in her ear (it was quite loud in the club). Later, when we left, she said she wanted me to sing it at our wedding. I didn't, because I had to sing most of it in Head Voice, which wasn't too good back then. Side note: I also played the big drum fills on her butt, which made her giggle. 🤪😁 I love that this touched you emotionally! 😍

Steve Perry made this song famous. His voice is iconic

Journey originated the power ballad, largely because Steve Perry was such an amazing balladeer. When Jonathan Cain joined the group, he and Steve got together and the ballads started coming. Steve Perry is really a crooner or an R&B singer. He was really driving the bus for much of the band's most successful era. No big hits since he left in the 90s.

nothing better than seeing you react to some of the best rock bands ever....

Steve Perry's voice is so powerful and beautiful and as a woman I couldn't help to swoon.

Steve Perry went solo must listen to “oh Sherrie”

One of my fav from Journey!!! Great reaction!!!

I saw them in concert during their Raised on Radio tour, the last one with Steve Perry. We were in Alaska (I think they were on their way back from Japan) and we got free tickets because my ex-husband, a commercial bush pilot, gave some of them and crew a flight tour. Epic concert!

For any Journey hits from the 70s to the 90s, Perry is the vocalist...

Faithfully was actually written by Johnathan Cain. The Pianist/keyboard player/vocalist/songwriter. He wrote it for, or I should say, to his wife, during a time in which they were going through a very tough time in their marriage due to the obviously heartbreaking toll of the lifestyle that they both chose was having such a painful effect on both of them, and what they were both going through because of it. So he wrote this song to show her just how much he truly loved her, and to acknowledge how deeply her pain, was effecting her (as well as to tell her how deeply it was effecting him also). And well, all I can say is that the lyrics say it all so beautifully as well as perfectly!! His lyrics not only capture and portray his emotions and feelings, but those of millions of people in this world so well. This is the reason that this song is so loved by millions of people, because it's so very heartfelt and relatable to the so many millions. Between this, and the fact that Steve Perry is in my eyes the best, most technical singer in rock and roll history. There's a reason why he was, and always be referred to as "The Voice" by not only all of his fans, but also everyone in the music industry as well. That, along with the fact that Journey is a group made up of literally five of the all-time most talented, technical musicians to ever come together as a band, they will forever be one of the best bands in the world! As far as the song "Faithfully", it is, and always will be, one of the best songs (or ballads) of all-time. Especially the live version that they performed during their "Escape" tour in Houston, in 1981. BTW...One very important thing that has to be pointed out, is that this music was made and recorded during a time in the music industry when there were no such things such as pitch correctors, etc. So whenever you're hearing Steve Perry singing, you're hearing Steve Perry's actual real, flawless voice....raw! Which by the way, he had a phenomenal four octave vocal range of C3-C4-C5-C6 PHENOMENAL!

Saw them in 1981 in Indiana. I was hooked. My fav band of all time. You need to listen to Lights on the album Infinity. One of THE best songs ever.

Just a timeless classic. A power ballad that would give you stank face

One of my all time favorite songs. Steve just melts your heart with his heart and soul

Neal Schon was a guitarist for Santana. He and Greg Rolie quit Santana. They founded Journey. Santana, Journey and I were born in San Francisco. I grew up listening to both bands. 40 years.🎂 Faithfully was released in 1983. Written by Jonathan Cain. He is on piano and synth. Steve Perry was the lead singer. The lead singer now is Arnel Pineda. Neal Schon discovered AP on the Internet! The late Prince called Jonathan Cain to have him listen to Purple Rain because he thought it sounded like Faithfully and didn’t want to step on any toes. JC said Purple Rain was inspired by Faithfully but not copied. JC gave a big thumbs up! 👍 RIP Prince. Drums by Steve Smith. 🥁 Same year, 1983. Faithfully song sounds like Heaven. Written by Bryan Adams and Jim Vallance. BA needed a drummer to record Heaven. His drummer Mickey Curry was not available because he was required by a prior contract to play with another musician. Steve Smith happened to be in town, New York. Thus, Heaven sounds like Faithfully. Suggested videos: 1 Steve Perry sings Foolish Heart 2 Bryan Adams sings Heaven.

Journey is amazing band!
