You truly have to be a serious singer to truly appreciate the vocal ability of Lou Gramm. He is near operatic in a Rock voice. It takes tremendous strength and stamina to sing those songs like he does....still does. I hope he decides to teach one day.
You go through those Foreigner albums one after the other and the songwriting, the production, and the performances, especially Lou's are PHENOMENAL. This kind of music could NOT make it today for the plain reason that it's a WHITE band of men with attitudes. Sullen me-dorks could make it, and pseudo-porn chicks, and blubbering gutter-english rappers, but not a band like this. We lived through an amazing time!
