Steve Perry Song Covers

[OnlyForSteve]

Over the years, I would imagine many people have covered songs sung by Steve Perry. With the popularity of YouTube as a springboard to success, there are probably hundreds. But how many of these songs have been covered and recorded professionally? I know that Mariah Carey recorded "Open Arms" and a slew of Journey songs were covered as part of the tv series, Glee; but recently a friend sent me a link to Sharon Bryant's performance of "Foolish Heart" on Soul Train. I remember Sharon Bryant as lead singer of the R&B group, Atlantic Starr. I was unaware of this recording, but it apparently reached the top ten on Billboard's R&B chart in 1989. Steve's version of "Foolish Heart" is a sweet ballad while Sharon has a more bluesy feel to it. Check it out and while you're at it, let me know what other Steve Perry songs you're aware of that were professionally recorded and published and by whom. I'll probably be surprised by how many there are.
