From Wiki:
Foreigner is a British-American rock band formed
in New York City in 1976 by veteran English
musicians Mick Jones, ex-King Crimson member Ian
McDonald, and a then-unknown American vocalist Lou
Gramm (Louis Grammatico). Foreigner has sold more
than 50 million albums worldwide [1] (including
over 37.5 million in the United States alone).
The band is led by British journeyman rocker Mick
Jones (former member of Nero and the Gladiators,
Spooky Tooth, and The Leslie West Band) who in
early 1976 met with ex-King Crimson member Ian
McDonald in NYC and formed Foreigner with Lou
Gramm (ex-Black Sheep), Dennis Elliott, Al
Greenwood, and Ed Gagliardi as a sextet. Jones
came up with the name from the fact that he,
McDonald, and Elliott were British, while Gramm,
Greenwood, and Gagliardi were Americans. [2]
The band's debut album Foreigner was released in
March 1977 and sold more than four million copies
in the United States, staying in the Top 20 for a
year with such hits as "Feels Like the First
Time," "Cold as Ice" and "Long Long Way From
Home." Their second album, Double Vision (released
in June 1978 ), topped their previous selling five
million records and spawned "Hot Blooded," the
title track "Double Vision" and "Blue Morning Blue
Day." Their third album, Head Games, which was
referred to by Gramm as their "grainiest" album,
was also successful due to the thunderous "Dirty
White Boy" and another title track hit "Head
Games".
For 1979's Head Games, bassist Ed Gagliardi was
replaced by Englishman Rick Wills. In September
1980, keyboardist Al Greenwood and co-founder Ian
McDonald were sacked as Jones wished to have more
control over the band and write most of the music
(along with Gramm). The band was now stripped down
to a quartet, with session players brought in as
needed to record or tour (see below for complete
list of members). Greenwood soon joined Gagliardi
to form the AOR band SPYS with John Blanco, Billy
Milne, and John DiGaudio. The band released two
albums, a self-titled debut, and the follow-up
Behind Enemy Lines.
In the meantime, Foreigner's next album,
4,(released in July 1981) was the band's biggest
hit containing "Urgent"(which contains a Junior
Walker sax solo), "Waiting for a Girl Like You, "
"Juke Box Hero" and "Break it Up." Before
releasing albums of his own, Thomas Dolby played
synthesizers on 4 (he contributed the signature
synth sound on "Urgent" and played the intro to
"Waiting For A Girl Like You" ). [3] For their
1981-82 tour in support of 4, the group added
Peter Reilich (keyboards, synthesizers), former
Peter Frampton band member Bob Mayo (keyboards,
synthesizers, guitar, backing vocals) and Mark
Rivera (sax, flute, keyboards, synthesizers,
guitar, backing vocals). The latter two had also
appeared on the sessions for 4. Reilich was
dropped in May 1982 but Mayo & Rivera continued
with the band through their 1985 tour.
Their next album, Agent Provocateur, was released
successfully in late 1984, and gave them their
first and only #1 hit in 1985 (in U.S., UK,
Australia, Norway, Sweden, etc.), "I Want to Know
What Love Is," written by Mick Jones, a
gospel-inspired ballad backed by the New Jersey
Mass Choir. "That Was Yesterday" was the next
single released from the album in early 1985 and
proved to be another sizable hit. In late 1987
Foreigner released Inside Information; spawning
hits such as "Say You Will" and "I Don't Want to
Live Without You." Touring for Inside Information
was limited to Europe, Japan and Australia in
1988. For this tour Larry Oakes (guitar,
keyboards, synthesizers, backing vocals) and Lou
Cortlezzi (sax) augmented the quartet of Gramm,
Jones, Elliott and Wills. Also in 1988 the band
headlined Atlantic Records 40 year anniversary
concert. Culminating with "I Want to Know What
Love Is", joined by the likes of Phil Collins,
Crosby, Stills, and Nash, Roberta Flack and others
from Atlantic records singing in the choir. In the
late 1980s, Jones and Gramm each put out solo
efforts and Gramm decided to leave the group in
1990.
In 1990, Mick Jones brought in a new lead
vocalist, Johnny Edwards (formerly of the bands
Montrose, King Kobra, Buster Brown and Wild
Horses). This edition of Foreigner released the
album Unusual Heat in the summer of 1991. This was
at the time their worst selling album and only
climbed as high as #117 on the Billboard 200,
although "Lowdown and Dirty" was a minor
mainstream rock hit, reaching #4 on that chart.
For their 1991 tour, Jeff Jacobs, who'd played in
Billy Joel's band, was brought in as the new
keyboardist and Mark Rivera returned. But just
after the start of this tour, Elliott decided to
leave the group. Larry Aberman was then recruited
as a temporary replacement. Since 1992 several
other drummers have come & gone, including Mark
Schulman (1992-1995, 2000-2002), Ron Wikso
(1995-1998 ), Brian Tichy (1998-2000, 2007), Denny
Carmassi (2002-2003) and Jason Bonham (2004-2007,
2007-2008 ). Scott Gilman(guitar, sax, flute)
joined the touring band in 1992 and took over from
Rivera later that year after he left. Thom Gimbel
briefly subbed for Gilman in 1993 then replaced
him permanently in 1995.
By 1992 Lou Gramm rejoined Foreigner (bringing
along his Shadow King bandmate bassist Bruce
Turgon) and produced the band's second greatest
hits album, The Very Best of...and Beyond, which
included three new songs. Three years later
Foreigner released what was supposed to be the
band's comeback album, Mr. Moonlight. This album
fared even worse than Unusual Heat, although the
ballad "Until the End of Time" was a minor hit,
hitting #42 on the Billboard Hot 100.
In 1997 Gramm underwent surgery to remove a brain
tumor. The medications he was prescribed caused
considerable weight gain and affected his singing
voice.
In 2001, the Warner Music Group selected
Foreigner and 4 to be among the first group of
albums from their catalog to be remastered,
enhanced and released in the new DVD Audio format.
In 2002, the 25th Anniversary Year brought
affirmation of the enduring respect for Foreigner
recordings with Rhino Entertainment re-issuing the
1977 - 1981 multi-platinum albums in special
enhanced formats. Foreigner, Double Vision, Head
Games and 4 received the attention of Rhino's
staff with new photos, liner notes and bonus
tracks of previously unreleased material. New
greatest hits albums were also produced in the
U.S. and in Europe. The U.S. version reached #80
on the Billboard 200 Album chart.
In late 2002, Foreigner played in the Netherlands
at the annual Night of the Proms festival. It was
the last time to date that Gramm & Jones have
played together as musical disagreements at that
point caused Gramm to leave again by early 2003 to
embark on a solo career.
Jones, the founder and only remaining original
member of Foreigner, decided to take some time off
before looking to form a new lineup in 2004. On
July 25, 2004 in Santa Barbara, California at Fess
Parker's Doubletree Resort, Jones appeared with a
brand new version of Foreigner that included: Jeff
Jacobs, Thom Gimbel, former Dokken bass player
Jeff Pilson, current UFO drummer Jason Bonham (son
of Led Zeppelin drummer John Bonham, who had also
played with the brief Led Zeppelin reunions and
his own band Bonham) and Bonham singer, Chaz West.
West was hired for that show only and was
eventually replaced by former Hurricane singer
Kelly Hansen in 2005.
Foreigner joined Def Leppard along with Styx on
tour in 2007. They also toured extensively in
their own right in 2007 - the 30th anniversary of
the founding of the band.
Their most recent album, Extended Versions,
featured the new line-up playing all their classic
hits live in concert in one of the most "studio
like, clean sounding" live album recordings
produced. They are currently working on a new
album which will include a mix of both new songs
as well as new takes on their old material.
In September 2007 it was announced that Foreigner
would join Pete Townshend, Bill Wyman and the
Rhythm Kings, and Paolo Nutini as openers for the
one-night-only Led Zeppelin reunion show in memory
of Atlantic Records' Ahmet Ertegun. The show took
place on December 10, 2007, in London, England,
having been postponed by 2 weeks due to Jimmy Page
fracturing a finger.
The band currently has a new greatest hits
anthology that was released on July 15, titled No
End in Sight: The Very Best of Foreigner. The
anthology will include all of their greatest hits
plus some new live recordings and a new studio
track, "Too Late", which will be the first new
track since 1994's Mr. Moonlight, and the first
recorded output of the new lineup. [4] "Too Late"
was released as a single on June 17, 2008. In 2008
Bonham parted ways with Foreigner. Bryan Head was
then brought in to fill the drum chair.
