Foreigner "Say You Will"

Mick Jones founded Foreigner in the late-1970s and went nine months without a lead singer. Jones interviewed over 50 singers in his search for a lead singer with a soulful Steve Winwood-like sound without any luck. One day, after hearing Lou Gramm's voice on an album for the band Black Sheep, Jones said he knew immediately that he found the voice of Foreigner.

Lou Gramm - "Just Between You And Me"

In 1989, Adult Contemporary radio stations desperate to fill the time between Richard Marx and Whitney Houston songs were handed a gift from the record company gods.  Lou Gramm, whose voice is well-known by fans of the group Foreigner, found success with the song "Just Between You And Me".  Radio stations lapped it up as it proved to be a tonic for their itch that demanded more Foreigner music.  This also gave Richard Marx some time to compose another hit song.
