Foreigner - "Soul Doctor" (Never Seen Before 1994 Video)

[plu4all]

I saw this tour at one of the greatest rock clubs in the states at the time: "It was the place that your mother warned you about - HAMMERJACKS!" Here in Baltimore! The club was on the back of an Iron Maiden LP that listed rock clubs around the world. This was a great show, in a rock club setting!!!

Two Great Powers - LOU & MICK I Love These Guys!!!

[x42b]

This song has some god dam soul in it !!!

[halwork]

Sorry. The current band is not Foreigner . Are you kidding me ????? 1 original member, and not even the singer ????? I know Mick has to make a living, but please call it Mick Jone's Foreigner. There is no Foreigner without Lou Gramm .

[tryithere]

Actually Lou co-wrote most of the hits with Foreigner up until and including 4, after that Mick Jones became more controlling over content and Lou started leaning toward solo music. This song doesn't really have a clean flow through it.

[duderules0]

no idea how this song didn't get as famous as the others they did like "Feels Like the First Time" and "Juke Box Hero" this song beats those i think

[CokaCoolA]

wrong decade

[mufflerbearin]

yeah this hell of a song. me either

[4samreno]

Thanks so much for posting this video...it's my favorite Foreigner song!!! But of course, all of their music is fantastic!!!! & yes, they do put on a helluva show!!!!!!!!!

[edmusicfan]

good song. i should have been a bigger hit.lou gramm is awesome! you are all right about that!

[Danno21F]

God, I love this band. Saw them in the 70s right after their first album came out - they were still a warm-up band (they blew the headliner away). Lou Gramm was a force of nature.

Get well, Lou. You're one of my favorite humans.

[loralie5974]

excuse me for being slow, what's wrong with Lou? I had heard he was on some medicine that made him gain a lot of weight. And dare I ask? Who was the headliner that they blew away?

[Danno21F]

He had a brain tumor removed 10-12 years ago. It messed him up for a long time.

Ted Nugent was the headliner that night. This was Foreigner's very first tour. They came onstage in t-shirts, ratty jeans, old sneakers - nobody even clapped. We thought they were roadies. Then they just stood there in their crappy old clothes and killed the place. Lou Gramm was probably 90% of it. I've never seen anyone give off that much energy.

Ted was great too, but something of a letdown after Lou.

[MissThe80s]

Cool story, Danno.  Thanks for sharing!

[farnsi]

Lou Gramm had a benign (non-cancerous) tumor removed. It took a toll on Gramm's adrenal and his pituitary glands.

[NewMexicoSunset]

Get well Lou. Your voice gives us men strength. "Overreact to satisfaction", Oh yea!

[PSLover722]

Foreigner is AWESOME!! They're going to be on A&E's Private Sessions this Sunday 3/29 at 9 am - you guys should watch! I saw it, but I'm going to watch again and record the music - they sang 5 songs!!

[funnyhaha07]

Wow in this video I would have never guessed that Lou would have been the one they would have to replace first, he has so much more energy than the guitarist. I wish Lou the best, his voice was so good! He'll be alright athletes and models have alot shorter career than Lou's had. He's had a great run!

[goesfastandfar]

I agree with CharlesNigro. Lou Gramm co-wrote almost all of Foreighner's hits with Mick Jones. Together they all made up the chemistry that allowed Foreighner to be so popular. But when Lou left, the band promptly dropped way down in impact.

[hug2046]

Thank U

[1swede1]

How many other 40 somethings out there hear Foreigner get transported right back to junior high school? I know I do and love it every single time.

[MissThe80s]

OMG...you hit the nail on the head!!! Absolutely junior high! :-)

[UNCLEPAULIETV]

Lou had one of the greatest rock voices of all time.

[feargal75]

UNCLEPAULIETV - absolutely agree with you - Love Lou Gramm FOREVER !!!!! God (or someone else ??) bless Lou.

[NewMexicoSunset]

"I over react to satisfaction/" Right on!

Get Well, Lou!

This song makes me want to open the throttle wide on a '71 396 Chevy Chevelle.

"I ain't made outta wood/" Yes!

[1swede1]

NICE! I jump on the 69 SS 350 Camaro I still own to this day!

[bugmusk6]

lol what is it about Foreigner songs that make me want to drive around in a fast car and turn it up!!!!!!

[ForeignerPhan]

Lou IS Foreigner? Sorry, Mick wrote or co-wrote almost every single song in their vast catalog. And people wonder why some singers get LSD(Lead Singers Disease). A band is more than just a lead singer.

[CharlesNigro]

You're right about that, but this lead singer happened to be singing lead on every major hit of the band and was there from day one. While Jones wrote the vast majority of songs, Gramm also wrote a lot of songs for the band and became a co-writer with Jones from 4 on excepting Unusual Heat. Also, when Gramm left, Jones was the only founding member left. It just doesn't feel like the same band to me, especially after Jones brought on 3 brand-new members in '04.

[bugmusk6]

Lou co-wrote as soon as he joined the band long long way from home explains his journey from rochester to new york city to join the band.

[CharlesNigro]

I meant that he wasn't a major co-writer until 4, should've phrased that better.

[bugmusk6]

yep thats true he wasn't a major co-writer until 4.....some people don't think he wrote anything in the band lol....and recentley Mick Jones tried to take credit for Lou's singing style. lol

[big1370]

What are you talking about- Loe co wrote most of the Foreigner songs right from the start! songs like Double vision and Hot Blooded etc. Cold as Ice,love has taken its toll, blue morning blue day,dirty white boy,headknocker on and on. give the guy a break, its bad enuf there touring without him. Lou Gramm Rocks!!

[CharlesNigro]

I don't have any problem with Lou Gramm, he was the reason that I got into Foreigner in the late 70's. Foreigner doesn't exist to me anymore because only one original member is left.

[big1370]

Lou co-wrote Hot Blooded,Blue Morning Blue day,love has taken its toll, Double Vision, spellbinder and thats just from Foreigner' Double Vision Album-- I am reading from liner notes have the album in front of me! so what the hell are you talking about?

[CharlesNigro]

Calm down, I'm not saying he didn't write anything, I'm just saying that he wasn't an equal songwriting partner with Jones until Agent Provocateur. I don't know why I thought it was 4...

[big1370]

I was responding to bugmusk6 who wrote Lou wasn't a major co-writer until Foreigner 4, and that is not true! Just trying to give credit where credit is due. If you think about it Lou is the only member of Foreigner to have chart hits out side of Foreigner with Midnight Blue and Ready or Not. I think Lou is a better song writer than Mick. But its all good.

[CharlesNigro]

I had originally said it, he was responding to what I said. Lou Gramm is a good songwriter, but Mick is better imo.

[bugmusk6]

lol I know Lou rocks he is my favorite singer I was telling CharlesNigro that Lou co-wrote as soon as he joined the band your talking to the wrong guy lol

[trucx88]

i agree this IS one of the band's great songs....and i agree.... without Lou, there IS no foreigner...

[Deathbringer41]

I happen to think this is THE finest song Foreigner have ever done (The version off the album anyway).

[sushman]

come on dudes, this band no matter what will never be as good as with Lou Gramm, Lou is Foreigner.

[Upyrazz]

I love this version a lot more than the one they released. Much more raw and powerful.

[369dc]

foreigner Rocks!!

[someonemissyou]

They are soooo great:)

Love it:)

[agentringo]

Many Thanks for posting this! :-)

LATAH From 'ringo

[steve93939]

thanks 4 the video brother

[Gonzalo79]

i saw Foreigner live in 2006 they suck, Kelly Hansen sucks he has no soul, Lou Gramm is soulful.

[ojmccaf1963]

I couldn't have said it better and I can't believe all the so called die hard Foreigner fans who abandoned Lou and fell for that nothing more but a reject from a BAD 70s rock tribute band! AMEN!

[thepolishprince1]

You may think that Kelly Hansen sucks but he at least sings the songs the way they're supposed to be sung. Lou Gramm couldn't sing a Foreigner song the same way twice if his life depended on it. Kelly is also able to hit the direct, exact and precise note all the time not just some times. Lou may sound great in the studio but that's where it end. When it comes to live, Lou drops the many times!

[Cj1500]

It sucks that the band broke up.

[ForeignerPhan]

You need to see Mick's revamped lineup. They haven't sounded this good in years. An incredible transformation.

[Michele56475]

This is cool! Thanks for posting it!

[x42b]

I love it , this is the Foreigner I remember in my High School days ( =

[freeconvention]

one of my fave rock songs. I loved them when they rocked like this
