Hey music junkies, Professor of Rock, always here to celebrate the greatest artists and the greatest songs of all time. if you remember flipping through the TV guide to figure out when your favorite show came on TV, you’ll dig this channel of deep musical nostalgia… Make sure to subscribe below right now. I promise that you are going to love this channel. We also have a Patreon you'll want to check out.
I’m excited to return to another one of my favorite shows that we do on this channel. It’s called Breakthrough. In this show, we break down songs, albums, or events that kicked open the door to an artist or band’s career and gave them the momentum to rocket to long-term success. On today’s episode, we’re fearing Journey and their heartbreak classic Lovin’, Touchin. Squeezin’.
But you know what, Journey’s breakout moment really occurred over the space of two albums. Kind of unusual. It began with their multiplatinum 1978 album Infinity… but strangely that record didn’t have a hit single on the radio. So even with a commercially successful album in their pocket, Journey’s breakout really wasn’t complete until they released Lovin’ Touchin’ Squeezin’ from their next album, 1979’s Evolution. That’s when this band really hit the big time. I’ll explain more as we get into the story. So let’s get going.
Journey was formed in 1973 in San Francisco, and was comprised of by ex-Santana members Neal Schon on guitar and Gregg Rolie on keyboard and vocals… as well as bassist Ross Valory, guitarist George Tickner, and drummer Prairie Prince. Initially going by the name the Golden Gate Rhythm Section, the band would rename themselves Journey by New Year’s Eve
1973, when they debuted at San Francisco’s Winterland Ballroom.
The first of Journey's long list of line-up changes came in February 1974 when drummer Prairie Prince returned to his old band, The Tubes. He was replaced by Aynsley Dunbar. This early iteration of Journey specialized in jazz-rock, complete with lengthy and improvised solo spots. Vocals and lyrics took a backseat to the instrumentality, just like things had been in Santana. Journey signed with Columbia Records in the fall of 1974, and then released their self-titled debut on April 1, 1975. It would sell a modest 100,000 copies. Then after a lengthy US tour aimed to generate more exposure, guitarist George Tickner left the band to attend Stanford Medical School.

Poll: Let's try something different... What is the MOST OVERPLAYED classic song of all time?
-
For many of us, Journey isn't and will never be Journey without Steve Perry.
-
Steve Perry IS and always will be Journey! He is THE VOICE!
-
Steve Perry definitely had one of the greatest voices in rock history.
-
"They didn't sell out, everybody else just bought in." That is one brilliant line.
-
You can never top Steve Perry’s voice no matter how many YouTube artists you find !!! Absolutely the best !!!
-
In 2006 I started helping to raise my sister's children after she passed. Her youngest was 11 y/o. I had a CD carrier of 200 albums. When my nephew would ride in my car, I let him pick the music. At first, he didn't care what we listened to, but after he heard "Journey's Greatest Hits" that's all he wanted to hear, every time. When he got old enough to have his own car, just before he drove off by himself for the first time, I gave him the CD.
-
Why is it everyone wants a paycheck for their work but musicians are sellouts for wanting the same.
-
Steve Perry graduated from my high school. To say that we loved Journey doesn't begin to touch the depths of our ardor. His voice still sends me. Greatest singer ever.
-
Steve Perry is the only singer I have ever heard whose voice can actually give me goosebumps. He is a powerhouse and definitely my favorite singer of all time and I think THE best singer in any genre.
-
Steve Perry's voice is absolute magic 🪄✨💗
-
We, Steve Perry's friends and SUPERFANS, voted Steve "Greatest Rock Singer" ever through BILLBOARD in September, 2023.Steve acknowledged the win 🏆 with his usual humble self. The ONLY "GOLDEN VOICE" on planet 🌏, one in 8 Billion!
-
Word of warning: Never date a singer or writer, because they won't hesitate to use you as material for their work.
-
To me the epitome of Journey was "Feeling that way/Anytime" the combo of Perry and Rollie's vocals are just magical!
-
I really loved Journey. Steve Perry's voice was so clean and clear.
-
Steve Perry: Cute, sexy and on top of his game. The best voice in R&R history! Call him what you will, he was HOT!!
-
Well eventually Journey DID become sell-outs!!!.... Once they became popular, they SOLD OUT every arena and stadium they played in!! And yes, it was "The Voice" that did it.....
-
"Still They Ride" is a criminally underrated Journey song.
-
Old school Journey was the best. Wheel In The Sky got them rolling.
-
I went to the Journey while visiting a friend in Chicago in 1986 for the Raised on Radio tour . We had dead center seats in the back 10 rows up . Journey played for almost 2 hours of HIT after HIT . When Steve Perry came out for the 3rd encore , people were electrified from the show and we’re all wondering “ what could they POSSIBLY play next ? ? “ But alas , Steve Perry said “ well Chicago, we have one more for you and your hometown friend ( from Evanston ) Jonathan Cain is gonna start this one off “ Getting lost in the shuffle of a 2 hour Hit after Hit show , J Cain proceeded to play the opening notes of FAITHFULLY . The place went MENTAL . FULL BLOWN RAPTURE . Girls were crying, men were hugging and high - five-ing . Hail to the Commander -In - Chief of arena rock n roll , Steve Perry . Hands down , the ABSOLUTE BEST 🙏
