Thats like assuming everyone knew Randy Jackson played bass in 1986. When I went and saw them in Atlanta back in August 2008 I actually met people in the smoking section outside the ampitheatre that thought they were coming to see the band from, and I quote "that Escape album..."
Well, they did see the band from that Escape album, just not the same singer. They got the one that can still sing.
minus the voice and mastermind(alright-co-mastermind)of the entire album plus the percussionist who made it happen. What Perry brought to Escape was a lot more than just "the singer"......he was the heart, the feeling and the soul that made it what it was. You will NEVER replace that.
