    I just turned 15 when Foreigner 4 was released and it was the first rock LP that I ever bought. The magic and feeling of the melodies sung by Lou are still just as incredible today as they were then ! Lou gramm "was foreigner" and they wouldn't have anything without him, they would have just been another average band and it was wholly him who gave foreigner their magic ! I could barely believe it when I recently discovered in another Lou interview that Mick had scammed him so badly over the years, as in reality he was riding on the back of Lou and owes everything to the magic of his voice and ability! I can't really find the right words to describe Lou's voice and the feeling he put into every word. His voice was without a doubt singularly the best in the rock world. There will never be anyone to top Lou gramm and I'm sure I'm not alone in being grateful for being alive when Lou was doing what he did! I still sit in disbelief at how anyone could sing so well, beautifully and with so much fresh, raw and a kind of desperate, breathless emotion every time I listen to him! Thanks Lou !!

    Lou you hit the nail on the head with your statement about what happened after you had surgery for your brain tumor..... I was in a serious car accident hit head on at 30 miles an hour. I did not have surgery but I did have serious injuries to the front and back of my brain. It took about the same length of time for me to feel normal! it was so hard to explain how I felt and what I was going through! I made a statement to friends and family similar to yours it was like being high or drunk except you couldn't come off of it. I remember going after your surgery and going into a church and lighting a candle everyday praying for your recovery and your family. Hearing what you went through gave me a better understanding of what I went through at the time.❤❤

    Mick Jones never appreciated what he had in Lou Gramm a loyal friend, a great songwriter, a lead singer like no other!, and a loyal bandmate who was always willing to tell the truth and compromise when necessary. I was thrilled when lou's solo career took off, I was hoping he would never have to go back! I still play Ready or Not almost everyday and midnight blue is still one of my favorite songs! You stole my heart at 13 and you have it still!!❤❤❤ So glad you finally got the recognition you deserve by being inducted into the songwriters Hall of Fame! Prayers love and positive thoughts to you, take care Lou.😊
