foreigner went to pure hell when he left.
Never was a big fan of Foreigner though they did have some good radio hits.
Lou Gramm had a solid rock voice then and no doubt is rated high in the rock singer lists.
Being a prog fan I thought it was interesting that Ian McDonald joined the band being one of the founding members of King Crimson who with Fripp wrote most of the music, brought in Sinfield early on for lyrics, and suggested they get a mellotron also. He did one record with Giles after leaving KC and it had a quieter feel but similar to KC. (Many years later he joined 21st Century Schizoid man with former members to do Crimson songs. )
I mostly listened to Foreigner at first for Mc Donald who formed the band with Jones and recruited Gramm ,though Ian only co-wrote 2 or 3 tracks including Long Long Way from Home. Mick Jones had been around in the Brit music scene from early days to the mid 60's (he knew the Beatles as well as Jimmy Page) He had several pop bands/singles ,and in '72 joined/reformed Spooky Tooth from 72-74 with Gary Wright and others. Jones was the driving force with Foreigner and wrote most of the songs along with Gramm.
State of Micky and Tommy.....Mick Jones and Tommy Brown...1967 (Jones on the right)
(I have a Brit psych pop collection with several songs on it)
