Yes Lou Gramm IS the Voice of Foreigner . . . however, Kelly Hansen is as good as you can get for a replacement!!!! Very good in person. Lou was the original so there's really no comparison. Both deserve an A+ considering the circumstances of why Lou left. Good luck to both and all of you too!!
Lou Gramm IS Foreigner! Dont be confused by the cover band that is touring now that goes by the name of Foreigner. They sound very good. A very good imitation, but the real voice of Foreigner is Lou Gramm.
@popinton I have to disagree. I honestly like Hanson's voice a bit more. And his range is a wee bit better IMO. I've seen him twice... Very kickass show. Not to mention... Mick Jones is still nuts. And I think really the whole outfit is all about Mick Jones.
hi im nancy and i am addicted to u-tube... hi nancy... been 2 min since my last search .... ok the sax... is the best thing about this song not to take away from the rest
great times great friends great music crusing in my 78 black transam withthe t-tops off daytona beach miss 1984 long live foreigner cheap trick,38 special,led zepplin
the sax solo was done by Junior Walker. he hit notes that werent even on the charts. Old 90 year old dude played at my Jazz Class at CSUN in the early 80's. These bozo's can't touch the old man. No one could
Estimated friend, if you want to listen again to this song and an endless number of successes of the love I suggest you to visit Radio MUSICA PARA MIMOS - it looks for his direction URL for Google (scribe Musica para Mimos in Google)-. The best romantic music of all the times in Internet, is going to please you, is very good ...!!!
@brian6078 I think Junior Walker was only on the original studio recording. Jr. Walker was black. I met his son who joined in with Tom Gimbel playing sax on "Urgent" this summer. I think this is probably Mark Rivera. Pretty sure it's not Ian McDonald in this vid.
@3124481731 -thanks for setting me straight on that;I was checking online and ended up knowing this was not Ian McDonald.Now I know who this really is;he is excellent.
I think *Journey's* Stev Perry and *Foreigner* Lou Gramm and *Whitesnake* Coverdale and *Deep Purple's* Ian Gillian these Four vocals are and will be the best of the best tru 1970-1990
I saw Mick Jones' version of Foreigner a couple of days ago (2 Sep 10) and they were truly awesome. He's managed to put together some outstandingly talented musicians. The lead singer is the key to making this work for them and they've found a great one. He's got the same sounding voice, and twice the energy of the original. Very entertaining show.

@MajorMagee What you just said is a true statement, I saw them several years ago at Chastain Park here in Atlanta,and his voice was very very similar to Lou's, but yes they are good and nothing taken away from their group, but there will only be 1 LOU GRAMM OF FOREIGNER. I love this group (I am 55 yrs old)
Dennis Elliott on drums was one fantastic talent. Try catching him with an early '70's band named "IF". He had to be around 18 years old, but he had unbelieveable chops.
I met Lou Gramm in 1978 right after Double Vision album was released. He was such a cool guy to meet. He even drove my car. I hope to see him again June 22 at Del Mar, CA concert.
The tumor was not malignant--benign--but the meds he will take the remainder of his life wreak havoc on his body. There is none other like our beloved Lou Gramm.
Watch Foreigner perform their classic hits this Sunday Feb 21st @9am EST on A&E's Private Sessions. They will be rocking out to "Cold as Ice" "Urgent" and "Waiting for a Girl Like You" as well others from their latest album. If you love Foreigner, You'll definitely enjoy it.
"Urgent" is my favorite song from Foreigner. The album, 4, released in 1981, was their lst #1 album in the US. It was #1 for 10 weeks. "Urgent" reached #4 in the top-40.
Einfach nur geil!! Lou Gramm hat `ne Wahnsinnsstimme! Er ist durch seine Erkrankung nicht mehr so wie früher, aber für mich immer noch einer der Besten!
Lou's brain surgery (malignant) in 98 I think, did a lot of damage to arguably the greatest rock vocalist of all time. I've seen him since and not the same. Go see him whenever--he's an icon.
@tatnell1 The band did a tribute to him and brought him out for a few songs touring a few years back. Not the same voice, but his spirit is as true today as it was in the 70's. One of my favorite all time classic rock bands.
Amazing to see this, this was one the first rock bands I liked. to me this was the craziest shit I've ever saw, while my friends were listening to kids stuff or Olvia Newton Jhon, I tought I this was extrem, wild and heavy. Next step was AC/DC, then Metallica, then Megadeth!
That's because I think he's jacked up on coke. Man did he ever screw the solo up on this one. Sounded awful. They must have been trying to capitalize on the Lionel Richy look of the times.
My best partysong in the 80's. Me and my friend Camilla used to shout the part with "I know what I need and I need it fast" really loud - feeling pretty cool.....! Haha!
I saw foreigner with the new band. It was amazing. Last summer I saw Styx, Def Leppard and Foreigner, and Foreigner was the best band even without Lou Gramm. The new singer sounds a lot like Lou Gramm, as close as you can get without it actually being him. I would suggest seeing them if they come around your area.
u got that right...no one can replace lou in his day....who IS that singer they have now?? they shouldnt keep touring without lou.....it ain't 'foreigner' without him
despite the poor quality I thank you for this vid, when I was 16 thought this song was super hot. now, 20 years later I still have this opinion. This rocks, especially that sax solo. Uber cool.
