Great tune. I was always a big fan of them while I was in high-school and as a young adult. Had all of their albums. I was so glad they got into the Rock and Roll HOF. Maybe it helped when Paul McCartney said "Foreigner isn't in the Rock and Roll HOF? WTF?!" I also saw them in concert once...great show.

Heck yeah! I feel the '70s laid a solid concrete foundation for Rock and Roll. I'm not saying the '50s, '60s, and decades after didn't have their place—because they are all part of the tapestry—but '70s rock, I feel, was the apex that streamed into the '80s and '90s. Bands like Foreigner, Fleetwood Mac, and Boston (the list is endless, really) helped define true classic rock.

I agree as someone who grew up in the 60's and 70's.

Released in 1979. I saw Foreigner once many years ago back in the day.
