In 1981, I stood a few places behind Steve Perry as we waited to disembark from a plane in Minneapolis. I was 28 years ago and on a business trip. He must have been seated in first class and was patiently waiting like everybody else. His shoulder-length, black, glossy hair contrasted with the look of the other passengers.

Steve Perry's voice is the "VOICE" of Rock & Roll. He was also an excellent performer, and (in interviews, articles, and when performing) he's always appeared to have a great attitude.
And, he's cute. How can you not love him5b4!
What, just for once in your life can't you be serious? -

Congrats to all of you youngsters for recognizing true talent and a heck of a man! He is one of few celebrities that I would ever try to approach if I were to see him in public. I remember the awkward, shy, 12 year old girl that I used to be in the 80s, hoping that some boy would ask me to dance while "Open Arms" or "Faithfully" played at our middle school parties.
I now live in The Republic of Georgia and I always play Journey/Steve Perry songs for my friends over here who missed out on such good music in the 80s while they were living behind the Iron Curtain. He is so hot in the close-ups of the Separate Ways video! And knowing that he is such a kind and sensitive guy makes him even more attractive. As someone else said- "God Bless Youtube" for posting all of these videos allowing us to time travel and introducing the youngsters to such a phenomenal artist. I will keep pushing his music on my friends and1c84 ESL lesson. "Oh Sherry" was one of my lessons for the grammar concept "should have been gone"! Love him! He will be immortal! -

I'm going to, hopefully, answer a few questions or impressions about Steve and Journey. BTW, I am not associated with Steve Perry, Journey or any of the group members. I am just a longtime fan. Specifically of Steve Perry. You probably don't want my opinion of Neal Schon.
Santana
1970 Album Abraxis
Neal Schon did not play on this album and (1969) he was not at Woodstock with them
Neal Schon did not join Santana until 1971. He only played for them for two years - 1971 and 1972. No other years.
Journey as it was when Steve joined them (Their current ages are after the birthdates)
Greg Rolie, June 17, 1947 (age 67)
Ross Vallory February 2, 1949 (age 65)
Ainsley Dunbar 10 January 1946 (age 68)
Neal Schon February 27, 1954 (age 60)
Robert Fleischman (Front man)
Steve Perry was born January 22, 1949 (age 65)
Steve Perry joined Journey October 28, 1977. His first public appearance was in San Francisco. CA He was 29 years old. He had been in bands before, among them Ice, Pieces, and Alien Project.
The album, Infinity, was released in January of 1978. It is the first album that has Steve on it.
I was 19 when Infinity was released. It was a very meaningful point in my life. Before Infinity, all I had purchased were 45's, not album. With Infinity, I bought my first album. Followed by Van Halen's debut album. It was a very good year for music.
If you look at what Steve has been doing in the last 10 years, you'll see that while he has not been on stage, or in front of an audience, he has been busy. Very busy.
This year, 2014, he has appeared on three different locations with Eel's, with whom he is friends. On 11 Jun 2014, he appeared at the ,L.A.'s Orpheum Theater. It is a great performance and I urge you to search it out on YouTube and watch it.
