Steve Perry - Street Talk - Special Deluxe Collector's Edition - Music & Performance - CD

Digitally remastered and expanded edition includes five bonus tracks. Features 16- page full color booklet. We could argue all day long about who the best rock singer is/was... and there are a few great contenders when it comes to melodic rock or AOR, but at the top of most people's list is Steve Perry. The former Journey frontman shot to fame when he fronted the band on their 1978 album 'Infinity' and eventually they changed from jazz rock curios to a multi-platinum selling band with the albums 'Escape' and 'Frontiers', that included such smash hit singles as 'Don't Stop Believin', 'Who's Crying Now', 'Separate Ways (Worlds Apart)', 'Faithfully' and 'Send Her My Love'. Of course, the icing on the cake was undoubtedly the vocal performance of Steve Perry, whose incredible range and tone set the band apart from the competition. It was hardly surprising then to see him launch a solo career with this album 'Street Talk', released in 1984, a record that very much followed the Journey blueprint and was actually named in recognition of his first band Alien Project, who were nearly called Street Talk. The album sold in excess of 2 million copies, spawning the #3 hit single 'Oh Sherrie' and setting the path for a solo career alongside Journey.
