Stevie Wonder
Killed it.
i was listening to my michael jackson playlist on youtube and when i got to the 'we are the world' vid this cacs voice caught my attention. i called my mother and she said that was steve perry. he can sing pretty good
Bruce Springsteen went dangerously cheesy on his verse
Perry was pretty unique. One of the only in the rock world who could hold those high notes without going vibratto
Do you mean falsetto?
A couple Steve Perry stories.
Me and a buddy used to drive from Visalia to Hanford and a bar called...El Ranchero. Huge dance floor and a lot of girls.
We'd stop and grab a Colt45 a piece for the drive over. I owned an MGB at that time, yep, top down.
So one night we are scoping out the candidates for Miss Tonight when in walks this little cat with hair down to his ass. It was as if everybody knew him. He kept shaking his head as the gang kept pushing him towards the bandstand. We are....huh????
Well after finally joining the band (pity their singer) he totally stunned the house. In a word....wow~~~ Yep, Steve Perry.
Perry was born in Hanford, but went to HS just down the road in Lemoore (Tommie Smith) he was tight with a cousin of mine who went to school with him.
So I go over to my cousin Gary's apartment in Hanford, he had some $$$$ he owed me.
Gary...guess who you just missed?
Avante...I give.
Gary...Steve Perry (by now he was a rock star)
Avante....you didn't tell him I was coming over?
Gary.....ha~~~
We went to the same JC COS in Visalia, different times.
I went to HS with Tommy Johnston of the Doobie Brothers, he was a couple classes ahead of me.

I've never heard anyone belt it out like Steve Perry.
The dude they got from the Philippines to replace him is pretty close but still just not quite.
It's a damn shame his voice is basically shot now.
Steve Perry was awesome. The 80s had a lot of good rock vocalists.
ifyousayso
1. Lionel Richie must be Danny Green's real father.
2. Who the is the MJ Fox looking dweeb in the back with glasses?
3.the other Jacksons
4. The day the music really died... looks like a group you'd see at a Starbucks in Austin.
5. I used to think Lauper was hot.
6. Kim Carnes as well
7. I can't watch Bruce sing without thinking he's ing someone doggie style.
8. Worst singer in the group won a Nobel prize for Literature
9. Huey Lewis had no business there
10. Steve Perry (enough said).
nah, vibratto. with most singers when they are holding their high notes, you can feel their voice oscillating. perry holds it clean, pretty unique
