Steve Perry - "Foolish Heart"

My mom belonged to a Cassette Tape club in the mid-1980s where you would get 12 cassette tapes for a penny (but get nailed with a shipping & handling fee of $700) and then every month you'd get another cassette until you fulfilled your contract.  One such cassette was the album Street Talk from Steve Perry.  It was Perry's first solo effort and much like Peter Cetera, Phil Collins, and others who stepped away from their respective rock bands to launch a solo album, it showed Perry's softer side.  One of the two notable songs from the album was "Foolish Heart" which peaked at #2 on the Adult Contemporary Chart.
