Music Story raconte l'histoire de « I Want to Know What Love Is » de Foreigner. Composée par Mick Jones, cette ballade est née de sa quête de l'amour véritable, malgré les réticences initiales du groupe.Sortie contre toute attente, la chanson devient un succès mondial, classée parmi les 500 meilleures chansons de l'histoire. Son originalité : un chœur gospel qui sublime le refrain et des paroles touchantes.Un hymne d'amour qui a marqué la musique, révélant la sensibilité derrière le rock de Foreigner.Notre équipe a utilisé un outil d'Intelligence artificielle via les technologies d'Audiomeans© pour accompagner la création de ce contenu écrit.

Entrez dans les coulisses d'un des tubes les plus emblématiques des années 80 ! Dans cet épisode de Music Story, découvrez l'histoire fascinante de "Should I Stay or Should I Go", le célèbre morceau des Clash.Remontez le temps jusqu'en 1982, année où le groupe légendaire a sorti ce titre. À l'époque, l'un des membres phares, Mick Jones, traversait une période difficile : il était sur le point de quitter le groupe et sa petite amie. C'est de cette double hésitation que serait née l'inspiration du titre, qui résonne comme une interrogation : dois-je rester ou dois-je partir ? Malgré un démarrage mitigé, la chanson a finalement connu un second souffle grâce à une publicité pour des jeans en 1991. C'est à ce moment-là qu'elle est devenue un véritable classique, repris et écouté encore aujourd'hui.Mais savez-vous que les paroles comportent également une version en espagnol ? C'est un chanteur texan, ami du groupe, qui a eu cette idée originale. Cependant, ne maîtrisant pas parfaitement la langue de Cervantès, il a dû faire appeler la mère d'un ingénieur du son portoricain pour s'assurer de la bonne prononciation ! Le résultat est un mélange savoureux d'anglais et d'espagnol approximatif, qui ajoute encore un peu plus de charme à ce titre culte.Notre équipe a utilisé un outil d'Intelligence artificielle via les technologies d'Audiomeans© pour accompagner la création de ce contenu écrit.

Richard Bellia  in conversation with David Eastaugh https://richardbellia.com/ Photographer Richard Bellia was there when it mattered carrying his trusted camera to capture moments in music's vast cannon of historical importance, some which now forms his own tapestry of work in Un œil sur la musique 1980-2016 i.e. An eye on music 1980-2016. The intro to the book says ‘'a thousand photos: breathe the same air as the musicians, feel the bass, the riffs and the silences, sixtieth of a second per sixtieth of a second.'' With this in mind its hard not to get stuck straight in with the mammoth heavyweight volume of photos infront of you. The first striking images come from prime Punk era via Denmark Street, John Lydon looking grimacingly at the camera in the studio and on stage with PiL, Joe Strummer looking cool as holding his guitar towards the camera, Topper Headon, Mick Jones and leather clad Paul Simonon all looking equally stunning in separate shots.

          We start this episode with Tom telling the story of how he almost got fired from his job – and how it almost meant the end of Famous Lost Words before it even started! Then we continue with our series on ‘70s Rock.  Last week we featured Boston, The Doobie Brothers, Jethro Tull, BTO and others.  This week, more from that era, including a great series of interview clips with Mick Jones and Lou Gramm of Foreigner, with the latter taking a big swing at the former's dictatorial ways.           Then a very interesting interview with Journey, right from the time when they are about to take off – but haven't yet had a major hit.           We also have another early career interview with ELO – and the struggle to marry classical and rock and make it work in a live setting.           Plus, Dennis DeYoung from Styx explains how a Chicago disc jockey changed the fortunes of that band.           Then, in a clip from the mid ‘70s, Steve Priest of Sweet tells us how they changed their image before they hit North America – and explains the story behind Ballroom Blitz.           And for Canadian rock fans, we have Prism and Trooper telling us about ambitious plans, their biggest hits, and the toughest Canadian audience to play for. Lost Words, hosted by Christopher Ward and Tom Jokic, is heard in more than 100 countries worldwide and on radio stations across Canada, including Newstalk 1010 Toronto, CJAD 800 Montreal, 580 CFRA Ottawa, AM 800 CKLW Windsor, 610 CKTB St Catharines, CFAX Victoria, AM1150 Kelowna and 91x in Belleville.  It is in the Top 20% of worldwide podcasts based on the number of listeners in the first week.

Foreigner guitarist Bruce Watson was having a better hair day, finished his crisp white shirt with a black jacket (I'd intended to do in kind with mine, but I was rushing and couldn't get my cuffs through my sleeves), and surrounded himself with cool guitars and warm lights. Rockstar! I dig the cut of his jib. Almost as much as I appreciate how accessible, down-to-earth, humble, and lovely he is. Not a likely combination, but oh, so charming. And entertaining! What a great storyteller! Bruce took us through his extraordinary ancestry. The Watsons have been Valley Boys since the 1600s. Not! But they have been in America since then, in LA since the 1890s or so… likewise, his mother's people, from Cork. Great story there - how and why they got here. We got the skinny on where the passion started - The Monkees - Hey Micky - and Creedance- the dream - to be a rockstar - his first band, Eragon, that no one, including me, could say correctly, covering The Eagles and Zeppelin - hysterical day jobs, great stories there, his first big gig touring with Toto's Bobby Kimball, then Patty Smyth with Rod Stewart, then Rod hisself. Bruce, although not a “reader,” was getting lots of session work for film, TV, and commercials, one of which was producing a spot with B.B. King- what a poignant, moving story. Recording with a very young Christina Aguilera, her break out, What a Girl Wants, and just out of the box, Sara Bareilles' Love Song, through Bennett Salvay meeting composer W.G. Snuffy Walden, and giving them just what they needed for their Friday Night Lights, getting the call to fill in for an ill Mick Jones - a temp gig - Bruce was busy, enjoying session work, his home and his family, with no intention of touring - then getting extended… again and again… finally joining Mick and becoming a permanent member of Foreigner. The Rockstar young Bruce dreamt of being realized in full force and boy does he wear it well. A killer player, he's got the hair, the moves, and the clothes, and I got him to tell us where he shops. I wanna hit the stores with him. It's all about how he puts it together. Bruce Watson is all that… and a jumbo bag of Cheetos. Talent, looks, genuine sweetness, and fun. Rockers, please take note… you can reach the pinnacle, look amazing doing it, and still be a mensch. Be like Bruce!

Will the real Mick Jones please stand up?! Millwall preview, mailbag and more!

Ever wondered what Foreigner's biggest hit was? Or why they were called Foreigner in the first place? Maybe you'd like to know if there are any original members left and what happened to their lead singer? Did you see the band finally being inducted into the Rock N Roll Hall of Fame? All of these questions and more answered this week as Foreigner co-founder Al Greenwood joins us for a chat. Al is best known as the keyboardist of the iconic rock band Foreigner, formed in 1976 alongside Mick Jones, Lou Gramm, Ian McDonald, Ed Gagliardi, and Dennis Elliott. His classical training and experience in jazz and progressive rock were essential in crafting the band's sound, which blended hard rock with sophisticated keyboard arrangements. During his time with Foreigner, Al contributed to the band's first three multi-platinum albums: "Foreigner" (1977), "Double Vision" (1978), and "Head Games" (1979). He co-wrote several of the band's hit songs, including the classic tracks "Cold As Ice" and "Blue Morning, Blue Day." After parting ways with Foreigner in 1980, Al didn't step away from the music scene. He went on to co-found the band Spys in 1981, a group known for their blend of rock, pop, and new wave influences. With Spys, Al continued to showcase his skills as a songwriter and keyboardist, releasing two albums that received critical acclaim for their innovative sound. Beyond his work with that band, he became a sought-after session musician, arranger, and producer, contributing to various artists across different genres. Al's work in the music industry also expanded into composing for film and television, where his versatility allowed him to create scores that resonated with a wide audience. His legacy with Foreigner, combined with his later projects, has cemented his reputation as a pioneering figure in rock music, particularly in integrating synthesizers into the genre. Today he plays with the 'new' Foreigner with singer Kelly Hansen out front. He says they're an act to behold. Al also tells us that the biggest thrill of his life has been the original band's induction into the Rock N Roll Hall of Fame very recently and although it's long overdue, he's incredibly proud to have finally been recognised for the contribution that Foreigner made to the rock sound of the '70s. I hope you'll enjoy my chat with Al as he unravels much abut one of our best loved band's history.

Lou Gramm, founding member and original lead singer of Foreigner, joins Lisa ahead of his induction into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame this Saturday night.Lou fills us in on what to expect at the induction ceremony, including what song he will be singing.Plus, they discuss the great Foreigner anthems over the years, written by him and songwriting partner Mick Jones.They also chat about the new Foreigner greatest hits collection, Lou's new solo album, and the upcoming Lou Gramm All-Stars tour.Lou ends with a fantastic story about the first time he ever heard a Foreigner song on the radio.

️ En este episodio de La Teoría de la Mente reflexionamos sobre un clásico de la música y su relación con nuestras decisiones cotidianas: Should I Stay or Should I Go de The Clash. ¿Qué tienen que ver una banda punk, la física cuántica y vender el alma al diablo con nuestras decisiones diarias? ¡Más de lo que te imaginas! Acompáñanos a explorar esos momentos de indecisión y encrucijadas que todos hemos vivido. Ya sea una relación complicada, una decisión de carrera, o hasta elegir qué ver en Netflix ... todos conocemos el vértigo de tomar decisiones importantes y lo que significa soltar el pasado para abrazar el presente. Hablamos sobre Mick Jones, vocalista de The Clash, quien escribió esta canción en un momento difícil de su vida, y cómo esta letra resuena con las decisiones que enfrentamos diariamente. Nos adentramos en paradojas cuánticas como la del gato de Schrödinger, y en historias como la del legendario bluesman Robert Johnson, quien se dice vendió su alma en un cruce de caminos . Descubre cómo podemos aprender a tomar decisiones con menos miedo al "¿y si...?" y más atención al "aquí y ahora". También exploramos la perspectiva de Daniel Gilbert, quien propone que la verdadera felicidad está en aceptar y adaptarnos a nuestras elecciones, en vez de lamentar las opciones no tomadas. Este episodio te invita a reflexionar sobre cómo abrir tu caja personal, tomar una decisión y liberarte del peso de las opciones que dejas atrás. Porque la verdadera magia está en aprender a soltar y quedarte con lo que realmente importa. ️✨ Sugerencias de Títulos: The Clash y Las Decisiones de la Vida: ¿Me Quedo o Me Voy?

For this episode we're joined by the Brooklyn-based Andrew Smith, author of the bestselling Moondust, the "dotcom swindle" saga Totally Wired and the brand-new Devil in the Stack. We start by asking Andrew about the peripatetic childhood that took him from Greenwich Village to Hastings via San Francisco's summer of love. A riveting account of auditioning to replace Mick Jones in the Clash leads us to our guest's recollections of writing in the '80s and '90s for Melody Maker and The Face — and eventually becoming chief pop critic at London's Sunday Times. Jumping to Andrew's new book — with its subtitle A Coding Odyssey — we ask him about music's "digital revolution" in the mid-'80s, with particular attention to the ubiquity of Yamaha's DX7 keyboard. From there we revisit his 1995 interview with Björk – an artist who overtly embraced electronic sounds in that decade — and then listen to two audio clips from David Toop's absorbing encounter with the Icelandic maverick six years later. After a fascinating discussion about A.I. – its upsides and its threat not merely to musicians but to humanity at large — we return to the mid-'90s to celebrate the all-too-short life of the Notorious B.I.G., hip hop's "King of New York" in that all-too-violent decade. Mark provides quotes from recently-added library pieces about Captain Beefheart (1969), the Sex Pistols (1978) and oddly Francophobe goths Sisters of Mercy (1987), and Jasper wraps up the episode with his thoughts on articles about pop fanzines (2003) and writer, photographer and recent podcast guest Val Wilmer (2024). Many thanks to special guest Andrew Smith. Devil in the Stack: A Coding Odyssey is published by Grove Press and available now. Visit Andrew's website at andrewsmithauthor.com for more details.

In this August episode, join me as we dive into what makes Miami an irresistible city for living, playing, and investing. I am thrilled to have Hospitality Impresario Roman Jones and NBA player Bismack Biyombo join the conversation.

This enlightening discussion puts a spotlight on the magic of Miami!

Lou Gramm (Foreigner, Black Sheep) joins us this week to share his story of growing up as a New York kid with aspirations in music, to fronting one of the most iconic rock groups Foreigner, and being inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame. Lou shares the origins of classic songs like ‘Feels Like the First Time' and ‘Juke Box Hero' along with the push and pull that came with record label interactions during his climb in the industry. We also talk about lessons learned opening up for KISS, meeting Mick Jones, and what caused him to put the rock n' roll party lifestyle to rest.

Send us a Text Message.This is a flashback moment to our previous podcast, 1991: The Year AOR Ate Itself. For those of you who didn't hear that podcast series, you'll be interested to hear this episode, which aired July 5, 2021. In my memory (note: I'm making this up), we decided to celebrate Independence Day by talking about Foreigner's first album without Lou Gramm, Unusual Heat.Even though that's not true, we did have a lot of fun discussing Unusual Heat with our friend Ben Arthur, who brought a really interesting perspective as a fellow artist to this discussion. It was Jeff who had the idea overall for the AOR podcast and I'm really glad we did it. We had a lot of fun talking about some of our favorite albums from 1991 and who knows, maybe we'll visit another year from the '90s -- or even the '80s -- one of these days. In the meantime, there's 12 other episodes of this '91 'cast if you enjoy what you hear today. Dig in!We've both been tied up with life stuff, but will be back with a fresh episode this week -- and it's another one of our favorite albums (I don't think I'm wrong in saying that, but we'll find out, won't we?). In the meantime, enjoy this conversation regarding a Foreigner album you've probably never heard!P.S. Ben is back with a new season of his SongWriter podcast. Check out the initial episode here!Related:An article at Ultimate Classic Rock from Jeff and Matt regarding Unusual Heat, featuring interviews with Johnny Edwards and Mick Jones. Support the Show.

Big Audio Dynamite was a band formed from the slowly drifting ashes of The Clash. The Clash would last a little longer, but would never be the same. Co-founder Mick Jones had just been kicked out of The Clash for wanting to move the punk pioneers in new directions and into new sounds. Less than a year later, Jones quickly regrouped with Big Audio Dynamite. Big Audio Dynamite was confrontational like The Clash, but in a different way—exploring new directions like melding dance with rock and liberally sampling sounds and movie clips as part of the band's palette. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/albumsthatsaveduspodcast/message

Baxie talks to singer Pearl Harbour from Pearl Harbour & The Explosions! In 1979, Pearl and her band released their self-titled debut album which spawned the New Wave hit, "Drivin'". Unfortunately, due to musical difference, the band broke up before recording a follow up record. In 1980, Pearl released her first Rockabilly solo album, "Don't Follow Me. I'm Lost Too". The backup band on that record included Mick Jones, Topper Headon, and her future husband Paul Simonon of The Clash! The album, which is finally being reissued by Liberation Hall records is terrific. But the story behind that record is even more incredible! Listen on Apple Podcasts, SoundCloud, Spotify, and on the Rock102 website! Brought to you by Metro Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram of Chicopee

Topics covered include his early life growing up in Rochester, a parent-defying trek to a 1965 Rolling Stones concert, the lean years with his first band Black Sheep (including losing the supporting slot for the '75 Kiss tour), shooting pool with John Lennon, and an often-tumultuous relationship between himself and founding member of Foreigner, Mick Jones.

GDP Script/ Top Stories for Dec 27th    Publish Date:  Dec 20th    HENSSLER 15 From the Henssler Financial Studio Welcome to the Gwinnett Daily Post Podcast. Today is Wednesday, December 27th and Happy 79th Birthday to Foreigner guitarist Mick Jones. *** 12.27.23 - BIRTHDAY - MICK JONES*** I'm Bruce Jenkins and here are your top stories presented by Kia Mall of Georgia. 2023's 118th Congress Records Historic Low in Productivity Amidst Political Turmoil, Passing Only 22 Bills 'Stranger Things' Ends Eight-Year Hiatus: Final Season Filming Begins in 2024 with New Cast Additions and More Upside-Down Mysteries Century-Old Artificial Christmas Tree Fetches Over $4,000 at British Auction: A Testament to Timeless Holiday Traditions Plus, my conversation with Leah McGrath from Ingles Markets on plant-based meats. All of this and more is coming up on the Gwinnett Daily Post podcast, and if you are looking for community news, we encourage you to listen daily and subscribe! Break 1: MOG STORY 1: 2023's 118th Congress Records Historic Low in Productivity The 118th Congress, during the year 2023, has been marked as one of the least productive in modern history, passing a mere 22 pieces of legislation. The House and Senate saw a total of 724 and 352 bills voted on respectively, but only a fraction of them were successfully enacted, with a success rate of 0.001%. The year was riddled with political turbulence, including a delayed election for the House Speaker, disagreements over a debt ceiling bill, and the eventual ousting of Speaker Kevin McCarthy. The limited number of enacted bills primarily revolved around topics such as veterans' affairs, healthcare, defense, education, and public health. Despite the legislative gridlock, there appears to be a potential Senate discussion looming about additional support for Ukraine before the annual recess. STORY 2: 'Stranger Things' Ends Eight-Year Hiatus Fans of 'Stranger Things,' the suspense is finally coming to an end! After an eight-year hiatus, the beloved series is returning to metro Atlanta for its much-anticipated fifth and final season. Unforeseen delays due to strikes had previously postponed production, but with the young star-studded cast now navigating their college years, creators are expected to ingeniously bridge this age gap in the upcoming season. Season 5 will introduce fresh faces, including Linda Hamilton, while the Duffer brothers pledge to unravel even more enigmatic mysteries surrounding the Upside Down. Filming is slated to kick off on January 8th, 2024, paving the way for a potential premiere in 2025. STORY 3: Century-Old Artificial Christmas Tree Fetches Over $4,000 at British Auction As you adorn your home with a Christmas tree this season, consider this unique antique. Thought to be one of the earliest mass-produced artificial trees, a 103-year-old Christmas tree was recently sold at an auction in Britain. Standing merely 2.5 feet tall, this tree has been described by Hansons Auctioneers as the 'world's humblest Christmas tree,' and fetched a remarkable $4,296.13. Originating from 1920, this timeless artifact - featuring 25 branches, 12 berries, and six mini candle holders - is believed to have been initially bought from Woolworth's in London.

Their creation, 'Grove's Miracle Tonic,' pays tribute to Grove Park Inn's founder. This international event, started in 1992, garners attention from food and media professionals worldwide. Catch the display at Grove Park Inn until January 2nd. STORY 5: COLLEGE BOWL GAMES Tomorrow promises to be an exciting day with four college bowl games lined up.

EP 576 featuring a discussion with vocalist David Glen Eisley

Oh, what a night! Our guest is  legendary, superbly talented guitar player Michael Staertow. He is currently a member of the legendary band, The Guess Who, which is currently gearing up to release its latest creation, Plein D'Amour. Band members Derek Sharp, Michael Staertow, Leonard Shaw, Michael Devin, and founding member, Garry Peterson have crafted a collection of songs that raises the bar and continues to take things up a notch both musically and sonically. Before The Guess Who, Michael was the guitarist for Lou Gramm. Michael is one of only a few guitar players to work with Lou Gramm, the voice of “Hot Blooded,” “Head Games,” “Juke Box Hero,” “I Want to Know to What Love Is” and other signature songs of the classic-rock era. That makes him a full-fledged member of a significant guitar-playing fraternity that also includes Foreigner founder Mick Jones, Nils Lofgren and Vivian Campbell. Michael has been the focus of articles in Guitar World, Guitar One and Vintage Guitar magazines, and he was featured in Gbase.com's Gearhead Gazette as well as  featured on many popular podcasts. An aspiring vlogger, Michael captures short scenes from life on the road with Lou Gramm and artists like Dennis Elliot and Deen Castronovo to share on social media. Michael has also added Rock & Roll Fantasy Camp “Rock Star Counselor” to his pedigree.
