I wouldn't even know where to start to comment on this. As Cyndy once told me and I quote often, her shows are not just concerts, they are revivals, experiences. She's an amazing writer and guitar player. As far as her voice, I could listen forever but I realize that's a personal thing.

Ditto all of that, Memorex.
"Flash in the pan?" That's a strange comment. She has been making amazing music for decades and has grown so much as a musician. I always loved seeing her shows which were always very uplifting. I always went home feeling better about myself and the world around me.

Take a dozen or so classic non-Journey songs and match them with Steve and another classic artist. Not a cheesy, Perry + Gaga or Perry +Taylor Swift. People with more long term history. Here's my current list:
Ann Wilson
Michael McDonald
Robert Plant
Linda Ronstadt
Don Henley
Patti LaBelle
Gregg Rolie
Daryl Hall
Stevie Wonder
Belinda Carlisle
I could list many more, and then of course what songs. Thoughts?

Hello TJ. I agree with you that Patti LaBelle and Gregg Rolie would be perfect. I also feel Jean Carne would be a good fit, as well as Jennifer Hudson, Josh Stone, Chaka Khan, Billy Joel, and Ronald Isley. And perhaps Kirk Franklin (outside of his known genre). Or...a very famous singer from either Portugal or who is Portuguese with both singing in that language for one or two songs; one of which could be a Falco (unsure of spelling). Thoughts anyone?
Marabelle wrote:Oh no not Patti Labelle or any of that caliber of singers; I think they are great but the genre is not Mr Perry. Kirk Franklin is neither but Adle...oh yeah,very similar. He might out sing even her but she's closest to his sound. Not that it even matters and who cares about my opinion but goodness gracious I think it would be phenomenal depending on the song and she listens to him not that he's opinionated or stubborn or anything but in regards to this particular endeavor if it could happen please my Lord,I would think after all these years of deliberations he might be right.

Hi Bellaire. I suggested Chaka Khan or Tina Turner several years ago when we had this topic come up. I was summarily dismissed. Poo-pooed, if you will. Good to see we finally got somebody with some taste around here (albeit a bit late). Ron Isley? I like how you're thinkin '. Could be very interesting
Marabelle wrote:I am still on the other side of the street....those singers are amazing but none of them frankly are as current (he's just more publicized) except perhaps Beyoncé and maybe Joss Stone (although i can't name a song she has sung). If he is going retro then any of those singers would work and he would have a big audience but he is a different caliber of a singer. His voice has a different texture then Bruno but no doubt it could work and Adele would be perfect because both have a love story to tell wrapped in pain.
