Journey Covers By Professional Artists
Posted: Wed Jun 11, 2014 12:40 pmThis is the thread for professional Journey covers. Not the ones you hear on American Idol or The Voice.
Did you know that Scandal and Patty Smyth covered "Only The Young" in 1984 before Journey put it on the "Vision Quest" soundtrack?

It sounds like the exact same track with different vocals. Somebody who knows how, can you make a Steve Perry/Patty Smyth duet
Pretty please!!!!

"I Wanna Go Back" was not originally Greg Rolie's song, but Bill Satellite's from 1984.
When Gregg Rolie returned from a brief retirement following his departure from Journey, he became the second — but not the last — big star who tried to make a hit of Billy Satellite’s 1984 song “I Wanna Go Back.”
The original take, co-written by members of Billy Satellite (which included future 38 Special guitarist Danny Chauncey), stalled at No. 78 on the Billboard charts. The third one, of course, became a No. 14 smash in 1986 for Eddie Money — with the addition of a squalling sax.
In between, “I Wanna Go Back” appeared as a slower, more contemplative track on Rolie’s radio-ready eponymous solo debut in 1985 — where it went absolutely nowhere. Rolie, going it alone then for the first time after co-founded two supergroups in Santana and then Journey, said the entire process was a learning experience. After dabbling in more overt pop sounds on Gregg Rolie, he returned to the grittier fare associated with those previous successes.
“I learned a lot, doing that first solo album,” Rolie said, in an exclusive SER Sitdown. “Before I had always relied on a band; I never had to design the whole thing. They were always a team effort, but when you go solo, it’s totally different. That was a new experience for me. I got better on the second one.”
Looking back, Rolie’s take on “I Wanna Go Back” certainly didn’t lack for star power: The track includes keyboardist Peter Wolf of the J. Geils Band, as well as Jason Scheff — who would go on to replace Peter Cetera in Chicago — as a background singer. A fickle buying public, however, flocked to Money’s subsequent version anyway.
“I did it first, and he had a hit with it,” said Rolie, who is at work on a Santana reunion album these days. “That’s the way it goes.”
