Singer & Guitarist Each Had a GOOD Song…MELDED 'em Together for EPIC 80s Anthem! | Professor of Rock

Up next.. the story of an all time classic rock song from both the singer Lou Gramm and guitarist Mick Jones who wrote it.. All-time 80s anthem JukeBox Hero by Foreigner! They each had a great song and pretty much combined it into one with dual experiences… legendary guitarist and producer Mick Jones said it came from letting a fan come backstage after he’d waited 5 hours in the rain to get tickets to their sold out show. The Iconic vocalist Lou Gramm said his inspiration came from standing outside a sold out concert hall not able to see Hendrix perform. It maybe the most challenging song for a rock singer to perform in history… Most can’t hit the notes but boy did this guy do it even if he had to fight a legendary producer tooth and nail to get it just right. The song became a #1 rock song an sold a million copes twice! From 1981 hit album Foreigner 4. The story is next!

I’ve asked a lot of rock singers what they think is the most vocally challenging song to sing is and I’ve heard this one more than any other. It came from a blockbuster album from 1981 that camped out at #1 on the albums chart for months. I’m talking about Jukebox Hero from Foreigner 4 written by no holds barred scorched earth singer Lou Gramm and uber producer/ legendary multi instrumentalist Mick Jones. A band that has sold 80 million records and had 17 big hits that are still played on radio everyday and they haven’t so much as sniffed a nomination for the rock hall of fame. Probably the biggest rock hall snub currently. This song came from both singer and guitar Lou and Mick having a different experience but similar in subject. Mick invited a kid who had waited five hours in the pouring rain to try and get tickets to a sold out foreigner show backstage. He showed this kid everything that went on before the concert and the kid had this look in his eye that inspired Mick to go write a song. Then Lou Gramm had the same experience but he was the kid not he outside looking in. He wanted to go to a Jimi Hendrix show as a teenager but didn’t have a ticket. so he dreamed of being on that stage. So they each had part of a song and combined it to create one of the biggest rock showstoppers EVER! It became live staple and it actually only peaked at #26 on the pop charts but went to #3 on the rock charts. What Lou and Mick share is really cool. Lou butted heads with legendary producer Mutt Lange as Mutt was trying to push him to sing like Bon Scott. But Lou had different ideas. He’ll tell you coming up next.
