Journey: A Voice Lost... and Found

Journey dominated the American music scene in the seventies and eighties with their epic arena rock anthems and power ballads. Frontman Steve Perry was dubbed The Voice thanks to the untouchable vocal stylings that burned up the radio waves and made him a household name. But the bigger Journey got, the more miserable Perry grew. He was the rare rock superstar who craved anonymity more than applause. Then at the height of the band's success, Perry did the completely unthinkable-he quit Journey. That should've been an absolute death knell for a band so defined by a single voice. But Journey's other longtime members refused to give up the dream and brought in a new singer to keep the music going. Fans were livid that anyone would dare to try to fill Steve Perry's shoes-shows were played in empty houses and threats were even made against the band.
