I was familiar with Lou Gramm from some Foreigner vinyl that I played, played and played some more.
Indeed, there is much more to know of this member of the Songwriters Hall Of Fame.

You'll encounter your usual rock n roll demons (wealth, fame, drugs booze) interpreted in unique Grammatico style.
Redemption is an additional theme as he successfully confronted those demons.
You'll also find a death sentence, revolutionary brain surgery and battles through radiation and "several harrowing years of show more rehab."
You'll find a resiliency, as he continues with retrospectives from Foreigner and also achieves new creative successes.

An ending comment:
"...I couldn't be more grateful for our fans' loyal support through the decades..."
said often, I'm sure, but he truly means it.

A good read about a working class kid from Rochester, New York and a distinctive rock 'n' roll journey
