Journey - Beginning The Lights (2-CD Live) 1978ak320
Journey released their eponymous first album in 1975, and second album, Look into the Future in 1976. Neither album sold much more than 100,000 copies, so Schon, Valory, and Dunbar took singing lessons in an attempt to add vocal harmonies to Greg Rolie's lead.
Journey's album sales did not improve and Columbia Records said change their musical style and add a frontman, with whom keyboardist Gregg Rolie could share lead vocal duties.
In the fall of 1977, Journey hired Steve Perry as their new lead singer. Perry added a clean, tenor sound and the band became a true pop act. Their fourth album, Infinity (1978) reached No. 21 on the album charts and gave the band their first RIAA-certified platinum single, "Lights".
This is what made em famous and began the slide to PoP status. The last piece I bought was
Evolution after that I was done. Oh well the rest of the world was picking it up...
