Hello, Mr. Steve Perry, how are you these days? I hope you are well! I'd like to wish you a belated happy birthday and much more to come. I remember when I first heard you on the radio, I believe it was KLOS or KMET back in 1979, 1980. They were playing, "LIGHTS", one of my favorites of my Journey collections. As soon as I heard that song I rushed out to go and buy both albums, "Infinity", & "Evolution". I've been a Steve Perry, Journey fan for life. I was very disapointed to hear about the departure, (no point intended) between you, and the rest of the band. But for whatever reason I had a great journey folowing your musical career. I enjoy your solo albums and I hope you are still planning to record some new ones in the future. Although Journey continues without their original singer, you, those new ones can,t and never will be able to write or even sing like you. Yeah, maybe the may have the same tone on some of the songs but they can't phrase the way you do. Nor can they write lyrics as good as you do. Don't get me wrong I love Neal Schon's guitar playing, infact he's my favorite guitar player along with Jimmy Page, and Steffen Schackinger. and Jonathan Caine's piano creativity and playing. The new singer for Journey cannot hit the note that you sing on, "Sweet and Simple", and, "Why Can't This Night Go On Forever", and much more. No one will ever replace you Steve Perry, you are a legend to me and many other fans! May God bless you all the days of your life! Happy Birthday! A true fan for life, Sincerely, Shawn J. Lastimosa
