Always thought this was a bit special, one of those records that you get hooked on - and easily. Class effort.
Foreigner is a rock band formed in New York City in 1976 by veteran musicians Mick Jones and ex-King Crimson member Ian McDonald, along with then-unknown vocalist Lou Gramm (Louis Grammatico). Foreigner has sold more than 50 million albums worldwide including over 36 million in the United States alone).
Jones co-produced all of the group's albums and co-wrote most of their songs with Gramm. Tensions developed within the band during the early 1980s and were attributed to a difference in musical taste between Gramm who favoured a more hard edged rock as opposed to Jones' interest in synthesisers.
Gramm left the band in 1989 but returned in 1991. Also in 1989, Jones released his only solo album titled Mick Jones on the Atlantic Records label. Jones is the only person to play on every Foreigner album.
