Lou Gramm (Foreigner, Black Sheep) joins Inside Of You with Michael Rosenbaum this week to share his story of growing up as a New York kid with aspirations in music, to fronting one of the most iconic rock groups Foreigner, and being inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall Of Fame.
Lou shares the origins of classic songs like "Feels Like The First Time" and "Juke Box Hero", along with the push and pull that came with record label interactions during his climb in the industry.
He also talks about lessons learned opening up for KISS, meeting Mick Jones, and what caused him to put the rock n’ roll party lifestyle to rest.
In celebration of Foreigner's upcoming induction into the Rock & Hall Of Fame on October 19, the band will release a career-spanning collection that includes "Turning Back The Time", a previously unreleased track originally recorded in 1996 featuring Mick Jones and Lou Gramm.
Starting with its self-titled debut in 1977, Foreigner delivered some of rock’s most enduring anthems. Turning Back The Time includes the Top 10 hits "Feels Like The First Time", "Cold As Ice", "Hot Blooded", "Double Vision", and "Urgent". The set also features the ballads "Waiting For A Girl Like You" and "I Want To Know What Love Is", which reached #2 and #1 respectively.
