Steve Perry

If only one singer could be selected as the most identifiable with '80s arena rock, it would have to be Journey's Steve Perry. Born Stephen Ray Perry in Hanford, CA, on January 22, 1949 (to Portuguese parents), Perry was raised in another California town, Lemoore, during which time he worked at his stepfather's turkey ranch. But by the age of 18, Perry wanted to try and fulfill his rock & roll dreams, so he relocated to Los Angeles. The singer paid the bills by lending his vocals to radio and TV advertisements, as well as working as an engineer at Crystal Studios.

I recommend everyone that loves GREAT music to listen & buy Steve Perry's 'children'! His songs are what real music is all about! You can relate to each and every situation in his songs as if he wrote and sang them for you! He said in an interview somtime that he never really liked videos because they take away from the originality of the song. He's absolutely right because for example, when I close my eyes to listen to 'Troubled Child' it takes me to a place in my teenage years that I've never had, summed up so much like in that song and it allows me to have closure within myself that I thought I could never have! He is a musical living genius and I wish he'd come back to at least put out some new material for the whole world to enjoy but if he doesnt, I'll be satisfied with his 'children' he blessed us with, already! My best friend & I made a dedication website for Steve Perry because we want everyone to know how much we love his songs and what they've meant in our lives. TheOtherMrsPerry.com We love you Steve Perry!!
