We could argue all day long about who the best rock singer is/was... and there are a few great contenders when it comes to melodic rock or AOR, but at the top of most people's list is Steve Perry. The former Journey frontman shot to fame when he fronted the band on their 1978 album 'Infinity' and eventually they changed from jazz rock curios to a multi-platinum selling band with the albums 'Escape' and 'Frontiers', that included such smash hit singles as 'Don't Stop Believin', 'Who's Crying Now', 'Separate Ways (Worlds Apart)', 'Faithfully' and 'Send Her My Love'. Of course, the icing on the cake was undoubtedly the vocal performance of Steve Perry, whose incredible range and tone set the band apart from the competition. It was hardly surprising then to see him launch a solo career with this album 'Street Talk', released in 1984, a record that very much followed the Journey blueprint and was actually named in recognition of his first band Alien Project, who were nearly called Street Talk. The album sold in excess of 2 million copies, spawning the #3 hit single 'Oh Sherrie' and setting the path for a solo career alongside Journey. As it turned out Journey went on hiatus in 1987 after the release of 'Raised On Radio' the previous year. Perry released his second solo album 'For The Love Of Strange Medicine' in 1994 but the band reunited in '96 and released 'Trial By Fire', Journey's final album with Perry on lead vocals. What we have with 'Street Talk' is a record that no Journey fan will fail to connect with; his voice, the great songs and the emotional power, leave us with no doubt as to his brilliance.
