  • did he know how amazing he was/is?

  • WE LOVE U STEVE!!!! AND FOR THE IMITATORS FANS??? SORRY-ARNELS VOICE IS NO MATCH AT ALL TO COMPARE STEVE PERRYS HIGH MAGICAL QUALITY VOICE!!!

  • Absolutely beautiful just like Steve Perry, he's my angel, love him truly from the Heart, I could stay in Steve Perry Magic forever!

  • Hey Neil fuck you no Steve no Journey!!!! You greedy bastards!!! Arnel go back to the PI and sing in bars you sawed off midget.

  • @jetmech777 No Journey No Steve. He'd be trying to cops drugs from everybody in S.F. 

  • so so so true

    

  • I am a true Perry fan. When I heard journey would carry on w/out steve I knew it would be bad and I felt the other band members weren't holding Steve's back. No one cares about Journey anymore cause steve is gone. He was the heart and soul of journey. Without him they are just another group of guys makin noise.

  • Steve Perrys' voice, truely has the ability to reach the 'core' of your very being. Not many 'people' ever do that in ones life. A true 'Gift' and one to be treasured forever!

  • He could sing the alphabet song and make it sound like a masterpiece!!! I have loved Steve Perry ever since he joined Journey back in the late 70's, giving my age away now!! But *I* remember when THAT happened and I've been a fan ever since. He is so awesome..... There are just a very few people who grace us with their presence on this planet that are magical, he is one of those people. Love ya Steve!!!!

  • I am sorry but I dont see where arnel sounds like steve perry. Neil better get his hearing checked

  • There have been imitators but no one will ever top Steve Perry. Eat your heart Arnel Pineda!

  • Such a beautiful song and so beautifully sung ~

    "If there's songs to sing

    Give them everything

    Let your spirit rise away..."

  • @gluchnurse, I 100% agree with you! It's Steve Perry!

  • What a beautiful song-never heard it before! Thanks for sharing it!

  • Another from alien project.....mans a genieus!!! its the love you give/you get/ its the smile/ your smile straight from heaven for you /for me uuuh yeah special kinda love!!

  • He sounds like a girl in this song. I mean that as a compliment.

  • Ive been reading some of your posts and to say that rod stewart sounds like steve perry is nothing more than delusional and lacking acute hearing.In comparison rod sounds like fingernails on a chalk board but steve sounds like a rose in bloom!

  • Back in 91 Nuno Bettencourt and Steve talked about doin a album together and I'm still waiting!!!!!! Please I want that album!!!!!!!!!

  • Simply pristine

  • awesome

    :-)

  • Damn I had forgotten how good a voice this guy has/had? He's almost as good as a young Rod Stewart.

  • @Imsorry110 While Rod Stewart had a very good voice, he does not compare to Steve. Steve's voice literally is an instrument and has a much wider range. One thing I respect more about Steve is he's singing Big Band music from the 40's like Rod. Rod got old and so did his music...it's a shame. Steve still rocks.

  • Perry is one of the few singers whose voice (completely aside from the lyrics he's singing) can be described as a musical instrument in and of itself...

  • What artistry!...

  • Hello elpogie, Nah, thats your job! Great song!!!

  • Beautiful song sung by a beautiful man. STFU elpogie, dont you have a dog to blow!!!

  • Are you on crack? Michael Bolton while he has a nice voice doesn't even come close to The Voice and he would willingly admit that to you himself.

  • Go listen to him then.

  • I have never heard a voice so beautiful!

  • I agree! Steve's voice is unmatched.

  • Huge Steve Perry fan he will always be number 1 in my book but I too love the new Journey. Been to 2 concerts both front row Arnel isnt Steve but he is very good too. But no replacing Steve ever!!

  • God I love this song! He sounds like hes at total peace on top of a mountain singing this song. Beautiful song!!!

  • Just got my special 2 disk Street Talk and FLOSM. First time I've heard them all the way through. This is an exquisite song! And since he wrote this totally alone-shows he was definitely a driving force in the song writing trio while in Journey. Please, hurry up with the CD-make my holidays, Valentine's Day, Birthday, something!! Can't believe Oprah is featuring the 'new' Journey on 10/2. How about equal time for STEVE as a solo act-he's the one promoting the 'Don't Stop Believin theme!

  • Hi gluchnurse, I have to get those myself I just keep watching the greatest hits dvd once a day. His new CD would be the best Christmas present my family could ever give me if its out by then. I guess we will have to make that Valentines day since its coming out 2010 around Feb. Girl you read my mind I was thinking the same thing, that Oprah should have Perry on or better mention Steve Perry while interviewing Journey. I think shes interested in Arnels story homeless to famous!!!

  • Hi gluchnurse, Have you heard that sp's album has been confirmed and hes going to make a new video. Isnt this fantastic news! They are not sure about a tour right now because his album is still in production. I am on just a high , and I just wanted to let you know!!!

  • Wow! Where did you see the info? I would LOVE to read the link! Would definitely be something to be thankful for. Coincidentally, just listening to Raised on Radio while I work at the computer and your e-mail was there. Could you share the link!?? Always love to hear from you, cutlets...Peace and Happy Turkey Day-Leah

  • Hi gluchnurse, I dont know how to send a link. Type in wikipedia/steve perry then click onto steve perry[musician]wikipedia the free encyclopedia. Then scroll all the way down till you see the word references, and right above that there are 3 paragraphs that will tell you this fantastic news! Let me know if you find it! and have a great ThanksGiving with your family! Our Boy Is Back!!!

  • Complete and total PERFECTION that's all that needs to be said about Steve Perry. I've loved this man for years.

  • Just when I think I heard the most beautiful song by steve perry another one pops up. The man that I have loved for many years still takes my breath away. Sorry new Journey but I just dont have the desire or heart to see you guys in concert. I feel like I would be cheating and betraying my steve. A true fan 4ever!!!

  • @cutlets29 Hi! Dear! I've been overwhelmed fundraising for my son's post prom-got sucked in! I'm still listening nightly to these songs to soothe my soul. So much better than medicine! Hope you are well. My son's chorus sang 'Don't Stop Believin' last week at the concert-but it was meaningless because without Steve it is missing the magic, the spark, that only he can bring. I would rather save my money to see him sing one song than hear the reformed band perform the whole catalogue.

  • @cutlets29 you said it, girlfriend

  • @cutlets29 I know your comment is a year old and I do truly believe each person is entitled to their opinion, but I do and have always thought Journey was much more than Perry. Schon, for one, is a great guitarist who never received the recognition he deserved because of their song selection they chose. Given his choice to go along, he states he has no room to complain. But, give the new guy a listen. I think you will be pleasantly surprised. I was.

  • @1danrobbins Sorry, but the ONLY reason that guy is on stage is because he sounds like STEVE. Neil knew he wouldn't make it work any other way. Of course the guy is good...He has copied the best.

  • I ordered this Street Talk remaster..as well as FTLOSM and TBF a week ago. I wish they would get here soon! This is a great song!

    I remember having Street Talk on cassette when I was in college (1986-88) I played it to death too,still listen to it in my car on my way to work in the morning. Almost makes going to work fun...sort of...until reality sets in that is,and I realize I'm trapped for the next 8hrs. Good thing my Ipod is loaded up w/ SP/Journey tunes and his greatist hits stuff..

  • there is TRULY no other Voice like Steve's... miss him... still makes me melt as well...

    HUGE Journey/SP (and Yes an Arnel fan too) sorry folks but he is good too in his OWN right... but I do miss my SP...

  • perry could sing merry had a little lamb and it would be amazing... i miss this voice deeply

  • OMG!! This man just melts me.......... This is absolutely BEAUTIFUL!!!

  • Re-Released Street Talk??? now your cooking with grease baby??? What???

    Sy-

  • new song to me ..love it..Is this on a cd somewhere? I would love ot own it.

  • Steve Perry re-released Street Talk remastered with 5 bonus tracks on it. This is one of the bonus tracks.

  • @19dave64 Hey Dave, you always post the best music! Thanks! Can't get enough Steve Perry.

  • Una vez más, una hermosa voz para una hermosa melodía. No hay como su voz.

  • Please check out our tribute to Steve and the boys !

    Go to OURVIRTUALJOURNEY

    "Still They Ride"

  • wow... I wish I knew him in person, he sings with his heart ...such a meaningful song worthy of tears... his voice is simply the most beautiful voice I can listen to him for hours. The memories that this song brings... I'm so glad he decided to be a singer and grace us all with his sweet vocals and memorable melodies. Thank you Steve. Obrigado do fundo do meu coracao. Steve Perry forever you'll be " the voice " we need to ear.

  • Special Kind of Voice!

  • Haunting Song...Steve Perry at his mesmorizing best.

    Has that Dream After Dream feel!

    Love it!!!!!

  • This is an Alien project tune

  • oh wow, this is amazing.

    uh-maize-ing

    I love steve perry, forever and always!

    this totally sounds like it could be a james bond song

  • Steve Perry is the best vocalist ever I love him and have listened to his music since i was a child. I'm only 20 but my mum has been a Steve Perry fan since 1981. And i have since 1988 the year i was born!!!

  • Wow, you're young. I saw them six times in the '80s.

  • Your sooooo lucky!!! I live in the uk so my mum never got a chance to see them live, and neither did i because well i wasnt born...lol. My mum only heard Journey on the off chance on the radio one night cuz they arn't that big in the uk but she has been in love with them since and i have since 1988!! Love steve perry (the voice)

  • Comment removed

  • I actually thought this was from "Dream After Dream" until I looked it up. It has the quality and feel of that album...

  • My brother looks like Steve....but, he can't sing like Steve.....

  • is there anything higher than 5 star ratings??i think this man is beyond that!!!!

  • 67cabman: So do I - he's better then the 5 stars they offer to rate this man.

  • well they should start giving higher because this man's voice is well beyond infinity...

  • I agree all the way, you just can't get any better the Steve Perry.

  • hi cabman, yeah, I'd give Steve a 10 for this (looks like erniebal12 is stalking you again ;0 -- a nutcase)

  • Tried to see your profile, 67cabman, but you have no picture posted. And, if he's gay, so what?  So was Freddie Mercury, Elton John, George Michael, Michael Stipe, and so on...you don't have to have a "type" to like or dislike his music..

  • i'm sorry you're coming from left field??what are you implying??who mentioned anything about gay???i happen to love the artists you mentioned whether they are gay or not..and your profile whats up with that??

  • Hey, sorry, cabman...I was trying to respond to someone else...you have glowing responses to Mr. Perry...oops! Again...wasn't you..it was meant for erniebal12...

  • erniebal12 is everyones enemy,pure pure loser..no life and no worries..

  • Hopefully, you got my apology, 67cabman...

  • what the fuck are you on??i'm not implying he;s gay you prick he's more man than the current little shit they have now.

  • DUDE, I APOLOGIZED to you after realizing I commented to the wrong person, OK...but, after you called me a prick, maybe I should retract it....LOOK BACK, and perhaps you will find YOU now owe ME an apology...

  • LOL sorry,just as long as we're Perryfans its all that matters.

  • He's not gay!!!!!!!!

  • JUST LOVE THIS MAN

  • JUDT LOVE HE'S MUSIC LOVE MR PERRY....

  • Shanria, me too,I like all his albums,SP-Journey or Solo.He is one in a million singer.Go perry....

  • Love S.L.U.And the cats to:) Harmony...

    Yes one word one LOVE!But is only a Broken heart and memories....

    See you in year 2067 Thank's Perry for this great soft song.Larsfive

  • Beautiful song!

  • Just one word!!! Perfect!!! 5*****s

  • omg....I got goose bumps listening to this song ;)

  • ual...that one its the first time I listem.Thanks : 19dave64.

  • Oh my God!! This song totally blew my mind! I can't believe this was a demo. Alien Project sounds like they would have been a great band, especially with Steve as lead!

  • OH that voice melts me...he definately deserves the name..The Voice

  • Steve Perry fans unite!! Lets let him know how much hes loved and missed. Go to petitiononlinecom and sign the Steve Perry Sing Again petition (enter /srperry1/petition.html in the address line). Let Steve know how many people are eager to hear his sweet voice again!!!!

  • I just love anything he sings . LOVE this man !

  • que alguien me diga porque steve perry no canta en journey, que se vaya arnel filipino trucho

  • Another example of what a unique and truly incredible voice that Steve Perry has. This is a just a really beautiful song and just showcases how remarkable his talent is. Steve is the best of the best. His music never gets old even after all these years.

  • This is a beautiful song. I love the harmony in his voice.

  • Steve Perry is one of the best singers,,he is going to the RRHOF,,,no doubt.

  • Sweet. Steve's voice is so angelic here. He could sing anything. Thanks for posting.

  • okay I'm an idiot sorry I just read where

    19dave64 posted where it came from, thanks

    19dave64 this is awsome. thanks I can't say that enough

  • this is beautiful, thanks it's hard to believe that I didn't come arcoss this earlier I too will wear this song out JRNYman I assume you might know, what year did this song come from and what album, sheeze this is beautiful, what a way to start the day thanks

  • This is the first time I have heard this song what a beautiful song OMG! It does remind me of early stuff. I am going to ware this song completely out lol.. what a voice! I don't understand how people can compare anyone to Steve Perry.

  • JRNYMAN,

    I totally agree Steve made mistakes and he was the first one to admit it. It takes a man to admit that. Neal made the biggest by forcing Steve out and he has and never will admit to that but, I wonder how many times he has kicked himself for that after all he keeps trying to find a sound-a-like?????

  • I do believe harmony is Steve's middle name. At least it should be

  • gwddd,

    It's Ray, actually (but those 3 letters ARE in the word HARMONY); figuratively, of course, you are correct.

  • JRNYman

    thanks for sedning. I have heard this B4--of course. The more I hear of the A.project demos -- I truly beleive Perry created the sound of journey and took him in the direction of success and THAT sound we all love!!! and ugh yeah THAT VOICE!!!!!! listen to the undertones of this song.. sounds like Infinity and evolution to me!

  • No! Steve's middle name is ANGEL...because he is one. Miss you Steven! (PLM)

  • Beautiful song. Steve has great harmony. I can always pick out his voice from other artist. It's so unique.

  • Again, I don't understandwhy you are on these vids. You obviously have a hatred of SP then why do you keep coming onto his vids. to spread you venom and keep others from enjoying themselves. You must have a really miserable life.

  • How would you know what kind of guy he is or was? Just your opinions which are no different than my opinions. they mean nothing to either of us so what is the point.

  • Who cares what you think! If you don't think he sings well here then why are you here!?You are spitting in the wind so why bother doing it. You aren't going to change any minds here. Are we going to change yours? I doubt so all of this is just pointless.

  • jean, go jump off a building somewhere.

  • haggard is jeangrey. I have read all about this crazy lady with 50 names.

    Steve Perry is the voice.

  • HAGGARDFAN123,

    Defending hate slurs by invoking FREE SPEECH? Read up on recent harsh penalties for hate crimes. You say bigotry is about race, not lifestyle GROUPS? The American Heritage Dictionary defines a bigot as "One strongly partial to one's own GROUP, religion, race, or politics, and intolerant of those who differ".

    Perry's NOT Jesus, but listen to his MUSIC. He sings of making peace/amends (Anyway, Missing You) and love (many songs). Plus, he's gracious to Neal/Journey in interviews.

  • Nice song and voice, very much so!

  • Haggardfan123,

    Please do not use your hate words ANYWHERE, but especially not on Steve's site. This song is called HARMONY...Steve is about love and peace and harmony and there is no place here for your bigotry, even if you are a Steve Perry or Journey fan!

  • Whatever anyone else says, Steve Perry and his voice has provided the world with a haven to go to in good times and bad, in or out of love, sad or happy. No one can take that away from his history..If Steve isn't singing because of the quality of his voice-AT LEAST HE HAS RESPECT FOR HIMSELF...by the way, AP may imitate Steve, but it was Steve who wrote the music, knew how to phonetically sing each word for total enjoyment.

  • I missed out on any evidence/proof that he has a problem with his voice...enlighten us.

  • The only evidence is from listening how he progressed from complete register balance to a "shouty" tone on the Frontiers tour and subsequently, the Raised on Radio Tour. He ended up having to pull chest voice up to compensate for the lack of "mix" that one loses from the grueling schedule of touring with this demanding repetoire. He really should contact Janette LoVetri for voice coaching, because she could return him to his greatness. She is the leading edge teacher of this style.

  • parisblue3,

    Perchance, is YOUR name JANETTE LoVETRI?! Haha!

    SP's voice gets better with time!

    Truly, no one can retain forever or - for that matter, parisblue3 - regain the highest notes of their upper register. Yes, we can work the muscles and exercise appropriately and train ourselves to best practices to hold onto those high notes for the longest possible time, but NO ONE but God Himself can replace what He has allowed "Time" to erode as we age.

    Perhaps we should all pray for a miracle?!

  • HA! No, I'm not Jeanette LoVetri. She is a very sought-after voice coach in NYC. She is the shizzle! I do agree with most of your comment but I do believe Steve could regain much of what he had in his 30s with the right approach. The Frontiers tour killed his voice. It became much more shouty. The R on R tour made it even worse. This is from singing every night and not having enough time to recover. Then one has to shout instead of use a balanced voice. A blend of head voice and chest voice.

  • 185nathans

    'best voice in modern music' indeed!

    Perry did it so well.

  • Haggardfan123

    I must humbly disagree with your statement.

    A singer remembers and uses the voice lessons he/she learned in the beginning.

    Voice is an instrument not unlike a violin. It must be tuned and special care must be taken not to abuse it so as to preserve its tone.

  • I love this song! I can just imagine what would have happened back in '77, had the bass player of Alien Project not died, and the band had been signed: this song would have been the cherry-popper of the decade. Talk about seduction in a harmony!

  • He is absolutely perfect...the best.

  • classic steve

  • just beautiful...beautiful ballad!

  • I wish I could bottle him!! He would be an instant cure for stress and crap in this world!  143 Steve!

  • Wouldn't he though.

  • Excellent song, perfect singer. Only Steve can do this harmony. STEVE YOU ARE THE ONE.

  • Perfect Steve.....He still gives us everything.

  • He is perfect...gives his all too.

  • this sounds alot like an earlier journey song its the lovin things ? love the voice

  • Thanks for putting this beautiful song up for those who love Steve. This song really showcases the uniqueness of his voice. Thanks

  • Apparently I found out about this vote for the best too late...if the winner is who I think, he is nauseating.

  • Freddie Mercury is a wonderful singer also.

    Don't deny him.

    Steve is wonderful too!

  • Freddi whoever is for the taste or lack thereof for others.

  • I love Freddie Mercury also & Steve.

  • He is a good singer too, but I feel that Steve is better.

  • First of all, it is quite clear that Freddie Mercury strained alot of times. Have you heard him live? Still, that does not mean he didn't learn through voice lessons (which every legitimate vocalist take constantly to maintain the musculature of the vocal cords in top shape). Steve and Freddie had two different tones anyway, yet obviously, Steve had more skill. Thanks to Sam Cooke and the old R&B singers he emulated.

  • Exactly...

  • The people loving STEVE PERRY please vote together.

    Please hurry to votenumber1. com! !

  • I don't think there is a video to this song.

    Awesome song.

  • okay, thanks for letting me know.

  • is there a video to this song?

  • Thanks 19dave64 for sharing this recording. Another great song from Steve Perry.

  • Great song, great voice, thanks Steve!!!

  • This is the finest singer who's ever graced us...I've been a guitarist and singer for many, many seasons now, and try as I might, I cannot escape Steve's influence on my vocals.

    Sure wish he'd GET BACK IN THE GAME!

  • I would go to the ends of the world only to see him if he ever did a tour again....I will be the 37 year old GROUPIE following the tour bus from state to state and city to city till I DROP!!!!

  • Yummy he's sings so beautiful he wraps you up in his lyrics and takes you for a ride and what a ride it is. Love ya Steve Perry Yer lookin so fine!

  • boy, you said it perfect! Best voice in modern music

  • STEVE PERRY IS Mmmmm MMMMmmm FINE!!!!

  • Wow wow wow...love this!

  • Steve sings from his heart right into your heart with such passion!!!

  • perry miss you!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :-(

  • I sing this when I am daydreamy. His voice can lull a baby to sleep, pump up a stadium with thousands, seduce a woman, and bring out emotions you thought were lost for good. That is what makes a "Voice"!

    LONG LIVE STEVE PERRY! :D

  • I believe his special kind of love and melody mentioned in this song comes frome the melody within him his luv of music i think it was an interview i read on perryville

  • luv u steve u truly r a gift from god!
