Steve Perry of Journey interview slideshow 1984, part 1 of 2 

I'm so proud of him for being so damn real......no one ever in the limelight, being a big star and all would admit they were on welfare to eat, he is so pure and honest....I use him as an example with my parents I work with, simply as in setting goals can be anything they wish if they are willing to work and have faith.....thank you steve for being a real guy and never forgetting where your dreams came from

The interviewer asked great questions and this interview shows Steve Perry's high intellect. Thanks for posting!

Steve, you are amazing. You deserve all the success you have achieved. You said your voice is a little different. I agree with that. You and your voice are still amazing. Your heart is a big part of why you are loved.

This man is so talented.. I wish he'd come back and sing for us again.

I miss these guys. But I especially miss Steve Perry. Hearing his voice again, whatever shape it may be in, would be wonderful. Too bad I was too young to have seen these guys in concert, that would have been something...

Steve you have a beautiful voice,you are a very good looking man,and the way you always handled yourself makes you even more good looking.take care

One Hell of a gentleman.

Love You Steve!! Thank God you didn't give up seeking an amazing singing career. What a Blessing to yourself, but to the World!!!

Steve Perry. Heartthrob!

It makes me cry to hear the original ballads the beautiful harmonies and I miss you Steve Perry your warm and appealing voice. I saw Steve Augeri in Concert and he sang well but... I wanted to give him a chance His voice did not have the same effect, the emotional grip on the heart. Be well and be happy

Steve is so down to earth. Love the voice, it's so sexy. And the laugh 💖. Glad you're back with the Traces cds. Still looking handsome at your age, 72. 💏

he still so amazing and incredibly talented. He’s the whole package! Talent, looks everything!

First time I heard you sing I became an instant Journey and Steve Perry fan. Your voice is angelic

Steves voice I has perfection. He brought Journey. To life. No one could ever take his I don't care who sings with Journey it's Journey without him. Besides being sexy and just everything about him. He's very intelligent and soft spoken and has so much ]talent that no one No one can take his place. Not Ariel or any one else for that mattet.

Cute cute and that laugh ❤️ I loved journey and his vocals , just unreal his range. Girl Crush 😍

Steve really is super able to communicate with such precision- love his personality as well as his awesome VOICE and looks/ I used to be told I looked like him back when I wore layers in the ‘80s LOL / I would be s thrilled to meet him man!! 🤩💟🙌

His laugh just gets me... soo cute!

Wow this is a very honest & real inerview.

Great interview done many years ago. What a smart humble man.

Music has always been in his life even in the hard time it took him to His safe place he was good in journey but he's really good by himself as well very well. Thank you ❤️.

Great soulful voice that reaches your inner core, beautiful face, hair, and body but very humble, intelligent and well spoken which are the most sexiest things about Steve Perry! 🤗🤗🥰🥰😍😍

Que espectacular escuchar la entrevista de Steve Perry ♥ absolutamente un talento imnato perfecto la voz más hermosa del mundo excelente artista

He's so Hot in every way🎆🔥😍

Thanks for sharing! Journey forever

Love Steve Perry.

You guys had what I used to call"" the true" talent and you can always tell watching true talent in concerts, the band" Heart" too they sound on stage even ZZtop sounds awesome but true gifts.

I have to agree - Steve is one of the finest singers of all time! Others that, in my opinion come to mind are (were) Brad Delp from Boston and Jami Jamison from Survivor - all 3 have voices that are not very easily matched!

All the 'Good Music' is playing (Thankfully) on RU-vid. Today's stuff, is just that...'Stuff.'

A talking voice that is audible, not mumbling.

So hot then and now Come back to Columbus ohio..

I can’t believe that Steve Perry was on food stamps! I guess he is human instead of a mythical god... lol

The group who won the Grammy the year he and Kenny Loggins were nominated...that Steve refused to name...was SURVIVOR (“ EYE OF THE TIGER”) who really were Journey clones!

#lovingstevieperry❤

Awesome

“Oh no…not going to get me on that one”, haha. Such a hot, talented package!

Luv ya baby you rock still 🤩❤️💋

i can't fucking believe Steve didn't think he was a fuckin awsome singer, just, hearing him utter those words made my jaw drop

STEVIE I ENJOYED THIS INTERVIEW VIDEO. YOU MAKE ME FEEL NOT ALONE THAT I HAD TO HAVE THE SAME TYPE OF PUBLIC HELP FOR FOOD SOME TIME AGO. SO THANKFUL WE LUCKED UP TO MONEY TO NOT NEED THAT ASSISTANCE RIGHT NOW. PRAYING I DON'T HAVE TO GET HELP AGAIN FOR FOOD & STAY WITH MONEY FLOW INSTEAD. SO GLAD YOUR LUCK TURNED AROUND ALSO. ANYTIME I HEAR THE WORD JOURNEY I ONLY THINK OF YOU CAUSE YOUR VOICE IS ALWAYS SO GREAT & AWESOME!!! THE OTHER BAND MEMBERS ARE FANTASTIC WITH THE INSTRUMENTS I THINK! I"LL ALWAYS BE A FAN OF YOU! LOVE YOU, KGM 05/20/2020

Loved the context and the artfully panning from & to the crouch 👍🏽

The band that Steve Perry mentions was copying them is Survivor with their song Eye of the Tiger. If you go and listen to it, it really does sound a lot like Steve Perry!

Well well said.....your so right!!!

I think he was starting to lose, or perhaps notice his voice was changing at this point and couldn't keep singing Journey songs. Nothing wrong with that and it happens to most singers especially special ones like Steve. The candle that burns twice as bright only lasts half as long.

I closed my eyes to wholly hear and absorb the unique tones and depth of his art-as all-encompassing to me as when I gazed from the view of Monet's Japanese bridge at Giverny above the water lilies and watched the willows dance in the breeze as it ruffled my hair, soaking in the fragrance of the foliage wafting through the air and listened to the birds do their original rendition of song. For those few minutes, everything else in the world disappeared... By Zoo-Lady 7/31/11 twopoles poetry blog

I luv his way's of never kicking his frnd's etc.yet not allowing n e 1 mAk a fool out of hm! I jst lv u baby,Stevie wevie! Ur grl,VELVET ANGEL

I like Steve! He seems so chilled!!!

I understand him! But then I once sang profesionally! At the same time I was trying to stay in a love relationship,please all my band members,and managers! I get it all! Wut I love about STEVIE is he's as true as he can to himself first then those close and intwined! To have gone as far and long as he has it to a whole lot!! I admire him! He stepped bk 4gd reason and he sabed hmslf 4 doing that! 2me he's da man! Its rough 4 all emtertainers,but an open ,loving,realistic,fam.& oriented lead singer the presure is real! My hat goes off to hom!! He took his chances,he pay'd the price,he survived and evrybdy gained fans alike because of his choices! Oh,and "I blieve" tripped me out...damned gd wrk!! But being free is being you,doing you where ever you are! I love you Stevie! Your girl, VELVET Ps. Thnx 4 surviving,welcome back,"we're still here" and we waited becoz your worth it! Dont 4get 2 do Peo. Il I promise I am front row seated say the word!"TOUR"!

Oh, THANKS for this!! Never heard it before. Cute, sexy pics, too! DO YOU KNOW: I've seen the photo at #3:10-3:15, Steve sitting in a desert with a jacket on, facing the camera---do you know where I can get a print of that one??? I have several hundred, but not that one! Thanks! Jan

Amen

One thing about this band no drugs involved

i'd love to know which songs he's done that he doesn't like to listen to.

Simply put,the most beautiful,arousing, attention demanding admiring... man I've ever known in this green eyed sisters sight...etc.!! VELVET ANGEL

Who IS THIS INTERVIEWER?!? She's TERRIBLE!!! At least, here he is truthful about his voice that it is different.

What bands were copying the Journey sound???

What's with the interviewer, her leading questions and snarky tone. It's like she's trying to put Steve in a defensive position. It's that Barbara Walters dramatic style I can't stand. Just talk to him, like a normal conversation!

Sometimes (often) an interviewer can ask the dumbest questions - Are you sick of Journey! Like he'd say it if he was.

At the end of the interview, Steve is referring to Dave Bickler (Bud Light Real Men of Genius ads) of Survivor, who beat out Steve and KL for the 1983 Grammy. Eye of the Tiger was so huge from Rocky III that there was no way in hell Don't Fight It could win against it. Bickler was an outstanding tenor in his own right. Sounds like a little bit of sour grapes to me, Steve. lol

Who was Steve referring to as bands/performers that would copy his/Journey’s style? Because the winner of the 1982 Grammy in that category was “Up Where We Belong” by Joe Cocker and Jennifer Warnes. Is this who he was referring to?

That doesn't sound like him

Is this Barbra Walters?
